BUILDING THE FUTURE

68th Annual Report
68th Annual Report
2012-2013
2012-2013

A. M. Naik
Group Executive Chairman

Dear Shareholders,

It  has  been  a  challenging  year  for  Indian  industry.  The 
economy, impacted by decelerating GDP growth, mounting 
fiscal deficit and high Current Account Deficit, has seen 
lacklustre investment momentum in infrastructure, energy 
and industrial capital expenditure.  

The few positives to emerge from this scenario were the 
clutch  of  fiscal  reforms  introduced  in  the  latter  half  of 
the  year  with  a  view  to  revving  up  the  economy.  These 
measures  range  from  phased  deregulation  of  diesel 
prices, formation of a Cabinet Committee on Investments, 
direct  transfer  of  subsidies  to  beneficiaries  and  efforts 

to  reduce  the  losses  of  state-owned  power  distribution 
companies. These measures will need to be sustained and 
supplemented by a slew of others to effectively recharge 
the economy and restore its growth trajectory. 

Performance Overview
Against  the  backdrop  of  this  challenging  environment, 
your Company has turned in a commendable performance 
on all key performance parameters.

Order  Inflows  which  are  the  mainstay  of  any  company 
engaged  predominantly  in  Engineering  &  Construction
business,  clocked  in  at 
  88,035  Cr  representing  an 
impressive  25%  growth  over  the  previous  year.  The

1

 
unexecuted Order Book at the year-end stands at   153,604 
Cr.  This provides a healthy revenue and margin visibility 
over the next few years. Project execution was largely on 
track - borne out in the 14% growth in Gross Revenues 
which came in at 
 61,471 Cr. Profit after Tax registered 
 4,911 Cr which translates to a growth of 10% over the 

previous year.

At the Group level, Gross Revenues displayed a growth of 
16% and stood at   75,195 Cr for the year under review. 
PAT, at 
 5,206 Cr represents a growth of 11% over the 
previous year.

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

In addition, I am glad to share that, in the        th anniversary 
year, your Company has also recommended bonus shares 
in  the  ratio  of  1:2  (i.e.,  one  bonus  equity  share  of 
  2/- 
each for every two equity shares of   2/- each held).

Internationalisation
In times of challenge, a mix of long range strategy and agile 
tactical  responses  are  critical  to  success.  Your  Company 
has  countered  the  slowdown  in  the  domestic  market 
by  expanding  its  footprint  and  intensifying  operations 
in  geographies  with  promising  business  potential.  This 
outreach  is  predominantly  in  the  Gulf  countries,  South 
East Asia Regions and now working to extend to Australia, 
a  few  CIS  countries  and  select  African  nations.  Quite  a 
few  senior  business  development  executives  of  different 
nationalities  and  having  rich  domain  experience  with 
customer insight have been inducted at the local level in 
these countries.

The  thrust  on  penetration  into  international  markets  is 
yielding results. International Order Inflows represent 17%
of the total inflows during the year under review.

become  a  global  phenomenon  and  is  not  restricted  to 
India. Hence development of human resources, along with 
talent acquisition continues to receive focussed attention 
in your Company. 

People  remain  the  cornerstone  of  the  organisation. 
We  ensure  that  employees  gain  ample  opportunities 
for  personal  and  professional  growth.  Our  Leadership 
Development Academy in Lonavala - Maharashtra, Project 
Management  Institutes  at  Vadodara  -  Gujarat  and  at 
Chennai - Tamil Nadu, and systematic career progression of 
staff are a few of the multiple initiatives that will facilitate 
succession planning.

We  recognize  that  the  process  of  internationalization 
involves  adopting  and  embracing  a  multi-cultural  work 
ethos - while retaining our core national identity. We have 
intensified recruitment of lateral hires at the management 
level, particularly in the Gulf countries and for new growth 
geographies. 

Sustainable Development
Your  Company  has  aligned  itself  with  the  Millennium 
Development  Goals  formulated  by  the  United  Nations, 
and  has  progressed  well  on  the  Social,  Environmental 
and  Economic  agenda  pursued  over  the  last  few  years. 
Considerable  headway  has  been  made  in  the  areas  of 
energy conservation, healthcare, environment protection 
and social uplift of the deprived sections of society. The 
Company  harnesses  untapped  energy  of  India’s  youth 
through  broad-based  skill  development  centres  and 
promotes  social  development  through  on-going  mother 
& child healthcare programmes. Your Company has been 
recognised in various national and international forums for 
its sustainability efforts.

Outlook
Even as the macro environment remains challenging, your 
Company  is  effectively  targeting  specific  opportunities
within  India  and  internationally.  Segments  that  hold 
promise in FY14 include –

Talent Management
In  the  last  two  decades,  we  have  seen  the  young
generation  being  attracted  to  new  economy  sectors, 
resulting in lack of top talent coming into the core sector, 
particularly in Project and Construction industry. This has 

1) Infrastructure -

a)   Roads  –  This  segment  witnessed  severe
contraction  in  ordering  by  NHAI  in  FY13  but  is
expected to pick up in FY14 through ordering of
  more than 3,500 km of new projects on Engineering, 

2

 
 
 
  
 
  
Procurement  &  Construction  (EPC)  mode.  We
being  the  distinct  leader  in  the  segment,  will 
selectively  participate  in  these  EPC  bids  where
the prospects meet our internal viability benchmarks. 
Some upcoming road projects in the Gulf countries 
are also being targeted in FY14.

b)  Metro  and  Mono  Rails  –  The  Company  has  been  
involved  in  the  execution  of  metro  rail  projects 
in cities across the country and India’s first monorail 
in  Mumbai  (trial  runs  conducted  in  FY13).  This 
enables  the  Company  to  exploit  opportunities  to 
secure contracts in India, where multiple cities are 
initiating  metro  rail  projects.  We  are  also 
participating in mass rapid transport prospects in 
the Gulf countries.

c)  Railways  Business  –  The  thrust  on  strengthening
the  rail  network  across  the  country  holds  good 
prospects  for  our  railways  business.  We  have 
already secured an initial order in consortium with 
a  Japanese  company  for  a  major  section  of 
the  Dedicated  Freight  Corridor.  We  are  also 
exploring international markets, especially the Gulf 
countries where several projects are coming up.
d)  Water  &  Renewable  Energy  –  Backed  by  strong 
project  execution  capabilities  and  operational 
excellence,  the  Company  has  achieved  good
growth  in  Water  and  Renewable  Energy  sector 
in  FY13.  With  current  Order  Backlog  and  good 
order prospects, the business from these sectors is 
expected to see an upswing in FY14.

e)  Urban Infrastructure – Opportunities in residential 
buildings,  office  space,  hospitals,  hotels, 
educational institutions, shopping complexes and 
factories  continue  to  provide  a  large  canvass  of 
business potential. Your Company has become the 
EPC contractor of choice for major developers and 
this is driving profitable growth.

f)  Airports  –  Increasing  passenger  and  cargo  traffic
has sustained growth in aviation industry. On the
back of excellent track record in this sector, we are
  well-positioned for airport projects within and outside 

India. 

2) Heavy Engineering & Shipbuilding - 
We have the capability to meet the requirements for high 
technology critical equipment and systems. In the process 
plant equipment segment, the international market looks 

promising  in  the  medium  term.  The  domestic  nuclear 
segment is expected to see ordering activity in FY14. The 
defence sector has been adversely impacted by the slow 
pace  of  decision  making  as  well  as  deferral  of  contract 
awards.  However,  recent  initiatives  to  involve  private 
sector in defence equipment manufacturing augurs well 
for your Company.  

The  shipyard  at  Kattupalli  has  been  completed  and  is 
capable of building warships, submarines and specialized 
commercial  vessels.    It  is  equipped  with  a  state-of-the-
art  shiplift  that  enables  it  to  undertake  simultaneous 
new  build,  repair  &  refits.  While  the  global  commercial 
shipbuilding  trend  remains  subdued,  we  envisage  that 
the Indian defence sector is likely to open up and provide 
opportunities for building defence vessels.  

3) Hydrocarbon –
On  the  domestic  front,  Exploration  &  Production  (E&P) 
spends in upstream hydrocarbon segment is expected to 
sustain  during  FY14.    The  announcement  of  the  recent 
policy  to  treat  fertiliser  production  on  priority  basis 
will  result  in  setting  up  new  fertilizer  plants.  This  will 
provide increased opportunities. Onshore gas processing 
segment  is  also  expected  to  witness  implementation 
of  redevelopment  projects.  Large  investments  are  also 
expected in cross-country pipeline projects.

In the upstream sector, the Company is equipped to repair, 
rebuild  and  construct  new  Jack-ups,  drilling  rigs  and 
FPSO topsides. The business is well placed to leverage its 
multi-locational Modular Fabrication Facilities to respond 
to global trends towards modularization of onshore Gas 
Processing plants.

We  have  improved  our  international  presence  through 
several  prestigious  orders.  We  are  increasingly  pursuing 
opportunities overseas through alliances with the leading 
global  EPC  companies.  This  has  necessitated  putting  in 
place a multi-national organization, with a cross-cultural 
team possessing local knowledge and domain expertise. 
The  Company  proposes  to  form  a  subsidiary  for  its 
Hydrocarbon Business. This will enable greater autonomy 
and  formulation  of  HR  policies  in  line  with  industry 
practices so as to attract the best talent.

4) Thermal Power -
Policy paralysis, negative market sentiments and procedural 
bottlenecks  have  adversely  affected  the  domestic  Power 
sector in the last couple of years. Pressing concerns with 
respect  to  land,  fuel,  financing  and  statutory  approvals 
have dried up the order pipeline, putting pressure on the 
Company’s capacity utilization.

This  is  further  aggravated  by  large  scale  imports  since 
the country’s policies do not provide a level playing field, 
particularly against imports from ‘managed’ economies.

Under  the  circumstances,  we  are  doing  our  best  to  be 
competitive  through  cost  reduction,  design  optimisation 
and smart sourcing.

Emphasis  will  also  be  on  expanding  our  spectrum  of 
services  to  select  Gulf  countries  and  the  Southeast  Asia 
for Gas based power plants.

5) Power Transmission & Distribution -
Government  policies  lay  stress  on  investments  in 
strengthening the power grid and the power distribution 
system through central and multilateral funding agencies. 
We  have  demonstrated  a  steady  growth  in  order  book 
position in domestic and international markets.

The  emphasis  on  strengthening  of  transmission  grids  in 
Gulf countries will continue to provide significant business 
opportunities  for  power  transmission  and  distribution 
business in the coming years.

6) Metallurgical and Material Handling -
The  short-term  outlook  in  this  area  continues  to  be 
challenging,  due  to  prevailing  complexities  of  policies 
governing  mining,  land  acquisition  and  absence  of 
new  power  projects.  These  are  sought  to  be  resolved 
through  various  government  proposals,  legislations 
and  policies.  As  the  economy  grows,  demand  for 
metals  particularly  steel,  aluminium  and  copper  will 
necessitate expansion of capacity. We are well positioned 
to  benefit  from  the  confidence  we  enjoy  because  of 
our  track  record  and  timely  completion  of  projects.

Material  Handling  prospects  in  areas  of  power,  mining, 
ports and long distance conveyors for bulk ores are likely
to grow in line with economic growth.

7) Electrical &  Automation -
The  Electrical  &  Automation  business  continues  to 
maintain its leadership position in LV Switchgear. It has also 
made a mark in the MV segment through an acquisition 
of  an  international  company  a  few  years  ago.  Product 
development in both LV and MV Switchgear continues to 
forge ahead. The project business has enhanced its focus 
on international markets. The coming year should see an 
upward momentum. The Company has also acquired two 
small companies which will bridge technology gaps in one 
case and enhance product range in another. 

8) Machinery & Industrial Products -
The  Construction  Machinery  business  maintained  its 
leadership  position  in  premium  excavators  segment 
despite  shrinkage  in  construction  equipment  market 
and entry of new competitors. In Industrial Products, the 
valves  business  maintained  the  positive  trend  in  FY13, 
registering a growth in sales of 9% over the previous year. 
Major  investments  in  the  oil  &  gas  segment  planned  in 
the  USA,  Middle  East  and  other  countries  provide  good 
opportunities for international operations. 

9) Information Technology & Integrated Engineering 
Services Business -
L&T  Infotech,  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  grew  at  22% 
Y-o-Y  on  a  consolidated  basis.  Profit  after  Tax  grew  by 
49%. 

L&T Infotech has embarked on building a strong sales and 
marketing team globally with emphasis on the Americas, 
Europe, Gulf countries and the Far East. The Company has 
also undertaken some major initiatives intended to make 
the L&T Infotech name more visible and distinctive because 
of differentiated solutions it offers in multiple domains.
Technology  Services,  a  Strategic  Business  Unit  of  L&T, 
is  being  formed  into  a  subsidiary,  which  will  result  into 
consolidation of all engineering services business of L&T 
and L&T Infotech. This subsidiary will provide autonomous
functioning in line with industry practices.

10) Financial Services -
This business, which was listed in 2011, continues to grow 
profitably  with  a  loan  book  in  excess  of 
  33,000  Cr  at 
the  end  of  FY13.  Net  Interest  Margins  at  5.5%  reflect 
the  healthy  interest  spreads  that  the  business  earns. 
The  business  has  successfully  concluded  acquisitions  in 

mutual funds business and housing finance. The insurance 
business  is  also  joining  hands  with  the  Future  Group 
and  the  Generali  Group  to  leverage  the  complementary 
strengths  of  both  players  and  to  enable  achievement  of 
scale and early profitability.

11) Developmental Projects -
Development  projects  undertaken  by  the  Company  in 
roads,  ports,  metro  rail  and  power  continue  to  progress 
satisfactorily,  with  some  of  these  projects  currently 
operational. The Company plans to open up alternate funding 
lines to enable commissioning of the upcoming projects and 
reduce dependencies on your Company’s balance sheet.

Before  I  conclude,  I  would  like  to  extend  my  thanks  to 
Team  L&T,  customers,  vendors  and  other  stakeholders, 

without whom our continued growth momentum would 
not  have  been  possible.  I  would  also  like  to  thank  my 
fellow  Board  Members  for  their  unstinted  support  and 
encouragement.

Thank You

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Company’s social responsiveness long predates the 
entry into the corporate lexicon of terms like ‘CSR’.  Our 
people feel the pulse of the social milieu in which they 
operate. They believe in inclusive growth and reach out 
to assist the communities around them - not because it is 
the magic formula for sustainability, but simply because 
that  is,  and  always  has  been,  part  of  the  collective 
character of Team L&T. 

answers to the many and complex problems confronting 
communities.  There  are  no  ‘Mr.  Know-It-Alls’  in  our 
teams,  ready  to  show  the  light  to  all  those  in  need.  
Instead  our  qualified  and  trained  social  development 
professionals are committed to working with community 
members,  listening  to  them  and  understanding  the 
problems from their perspective. It is together, in a close 
and collaborative spirit, that we arrive at lasting solutions.   

We are well aware that being a leading engineering and 
technology  company  does  not  mean  that  we  have  the

of the nation’s youth through skill development initiatives 
and nurture mother & child health care programmes. 

Thrust Areas
We empower via education, harness the untapped energy 

Over the years, our efforts to strengthen the foundations 
of the social pyramid have intensified and expanded.

SOCIAL SCORE-CARD

•   Reached out to half a million beneficiaries
•   Seven community health centres set-up, and more underway
•   Livelihood for over 5000 underprivileged women
•  Engagement with over 50 community learning centres
•  Outreach to over 150 schools  and over 10,000  underprivileged children. 

Education 
The  Company’s  social  interventions  in  this  sphere  are 
focused  on  providing  primary  education,  infrastructure 
development and enhancing the learning experience for 
children in schools in the vicinity of our units across India.

We  adopt  innovative  teaching  techniques  and  focus  on 
subjects like Mathematics and English which many children 
find challenging.  Our mobile teaching unit - ‘Science on 
Wheels’  visits  schools  and  provides  pupils  with  a  ‘hands 
on’ opportunity  to perform science experiments .  

We  also  extend  support  to  pre-schools,  assist  in 
infrastructure  development,  set  up  computer  labs  and 
libraries as well as provide teaching-aids and uniforms to 
the  needy.    Other  activities  include  organizing  summer 
camps and conducting  sports events.  

Mother & Child Health
A woman is the nucleus of the family, which in turn is the 
focal point of society.  Mother & child heath, therefore is 
one of the thrust areas of our social initiatives.  Initiatives 
for maternal and child health include: setting up of health 
centres with a focus on reproductive health, conducting 
diagnostic and clinical health camps that support maternal 
and child health care, immunization and health education. 
Health camps are conducted by  qualified and experienced 
teams. Mobile clinics enhance our reach to those in need. 

‘Science on Wheels’ - L&T joins hands with an NGO to promote 
science in schools. This is part of L&T’s broad spectrum of 
community initiatives.

Skill Building 

Scaffolding erection training at CSTI, Chennai

The Company is one of the few construction organizations 
in  India  with  dedicated  skill  training  institutes  which 
offer  the  prospect  of  subsequent  employment  with 
contractors at the Company’s project sites.  L&T provides 
formal vocational training in construction for the largely 
unorganized workforce in this sector through Construction 
Skills Training Institute (CSTI). CSTIs provides free-of-cost 
training in construction skills to rural and urban youth in 
various trades such as bar bending, formwork carpentry, 
masonry,  scaffolding  and  welding  etc.  This  training  is  a 
transformational process that improves the skill set of the 
underprivileged youth and enhances their employability.

The  Company  has  also  introduced  vocational  training 
programmes in tailoring, beautician skills, home nursing 
and food processing for women.  Such training helps build 
self-reliance and reduce vulnerabilities.

L&T-eering 

16
16

Employee  volunteering  is  a  company-wide  movement 
driven  solely  by  the  passion  to  serve.    More  and  more 
L&T-ites  are  opting  to  be  ‘L&T-eers’,  and  add  value  to 
society  through  their  time,  energy  and  expertise.  L&T 
encourages employees to volunteer for CSR activities and 
make a tangible difference to the world in which they live 
by investing their time and personal resources to serve the 
communities around them.

Ladies Clubs
The Ladies Clubs led by the spouses of Company employees 
across  various  locations  are  a  unique  group.  They  pool 
their  skills  and  resources  in  the  spirit  of  service  to  work 
towards the development of communities. 

Ladies Clubs are involved in several initiatives which include 
providing  educational  support  programmes  for  schools, 
organizing vocational training courses for underprivileged 
youth  and  enabling  women  to  enhance  their  income 
generation  capacity.    The  Clubs  also  provide  support  to 
the disabled.  

Larsen & Toubro Public Charitable Trust 
(LTPCT)
LTPCT  is  committed  to  the  inclusive  growth  of  society 
through  interventions  in  education,  vocational  training, 
health care and water management. Over a hundred check 
dams have been constructed by the Trust  in drought-prone 
rural Maharashtra.  The dams help in irrigation, facilitate 
ground  water  recharge  and  have  resulted  in  stemming 
migration  to  cities.  The  ‘Science  on  Wheels’  mobile 
teaching  unit  has  introduced  over  1,50,000    children  
across the country to the wonders of science. 

Towards a Greener Tomorrow

Air, water and earth are the givers and sustainers of life. 
And the irony is that the very survival of these lifelines is 
now in our hands. If we choose to conduct ourselves with 
care and responsibility, our natural assets will continue to 

nourish  life  as  they  have  been  doing  for  ages.    If  we  let 
expediency and immediate self-interest prevail, however, 
we could well be cutting off our own lifelines.  

With every passing year the issue of climate change finds 
deeper  resonance  in  the  Company.  It  influences  our 
decision making in key areas, spurs product and process 
innovation and determines our product mix to clients.  

Our initiatives are aimed at reduction in carbon intensity, 
utilisation  of  clean  and  renewable  energy  sources  and 
engineering of green buildings. 

As  builders  to  the  nation,  the  Company’s  strategies  are 
also in synch with the nation’s needs, be it infrastructure 

development  or  environmental  management.  Our 
initiatives  and  actions  closely  follow  the  Government  of 
India’s Nation Action Plan on Climate Change.

From  commissioning  India’s  largest  solar  power  plant 
to  becoming  an  energy  auditor  accredited  by  a  leading, 
global body, from sowing saplings of change to spreading 
sustainability  knowledge,  from  undertaking  carbon 
sequestration  study  to  water  footprint  mapping  -  our 
progress  on  the  eight  national  missions  is  rapid  and 
decisive.

Here is how our businesses are contributing to preserving 
the environment:

Construction
The  uncertainties  and  anxieties  around  the  impact  of 
construction on the environment has been converted into 
an  opportunity.    We  now  lead  the  way  in  eco-friendly 
construction, having built more certified green buildings 
than any other company. We have secured several LEED 
certifications for buildings constructed for ourselves and 
for our customers. 

partnership  mode.  Like  all  such  systems,  the  Hyderabad 
Metro will help make the city green, reduce automobile 
traffic,  save  fuel  and  arrest  GHG  emissions.  In  Mumbai, 
we are also building and developing a mono rail - a ‘first’ 
for India.  In addition, we contribute significantly to the 
metro  systems  being  built  in  other  major  cities  around

Hydrocarbon
The  Company  has  a  long  track  record  of  EPC  execution 
of  projects  for  fuel  switch,  dehydrogenation  and 
desulphurization for fertiliser manufacturers and refineries. 

Power
Power plants present the typical dilemma of development. 
They  are  essential  for  progress  and  yet  they  are  known 
to  impact  the  environment.    The  Company  offers  the 
supercritical solution.   Supercritical thermal power plants 
uses steam in a way that improves the turbine cycle heat 
rate. This reduces carbon dioxide emissions as well as other 
lifecycle costs such as land and water.

In addition to initiatives that reduce the Company’s own 
carbon  footprint,  it  is  also  a  green  enabler  -  helping  its 
customers “Go Green” too. A high degree of expertise has 
been developed in the following:  ‘Green Buildings’, solar 
EPC power plants, fuel switch projects, Dehydrogenation 
& Desulphurization (DHDS) projects, coal gasifiers, super 
critical  thermal  power  plant  &  equipment,    electricity 

transmission  &  distribution  systems,  and  energy-saving 
electrical & automation equipment. 

Green  buildings  constructed  by  the  Company  help  to 
reduce water consumption by over 30%, utilise recycled 
material to the extent of 10% and largely source material 
locally.  The  Company  is  a  leading  EPC  solution  provider 

26

for Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) based power plants. Typically, 
a 40 MW solar power plant leads to a reduction of nearly 
70,000 MT of CO2 annually. The Industrial Drive systems of 
Electrical & Automation business save energy up to 30% 
or more.

The  hydrocarbon  business  of  the  Company  executes 
energy conservation and fuel switch projects for fertiliser 
plants and refineries. Fertiliser plants are increasingly being 
encouraged to switch from fuel oil & Low Sulphur Heavy 
Stock  (LSHS)  based  ammonia  plants  to  natural  gas  and 
Re-gasified  Liquefied  Natural  Gas  (R-LNG)  based  plants. 
The  Company  is  at  the  forefront  of  executing  these 
conversion projects which significantly help clients reduce 
sulphur emissions and improving product quality. 

The Company has proven capability in reducing SOx / NOx 
emissions  during  crude  oil  refining  and  also  achieving 
energy efficiency. 

The  heavy  engineering  business  of  the  Company 
manufactures  coal  gasifiers  for  core  industries.  Many 
developed countries use coal gasifier technology as energy 
conservation and environmental friendly measures. 

At  project  sites,  safety  is  an  overriding  concern.  The 
Company  fosters  a  strong  safety  culture  through  best 
practices,  continuous  training  and  vigilant  supervision.  

Safety tool box talk

The  Company  is  the  first  company  in  the  E&C  space  in 
India to establish a full-fledged Safety Innovation School. 
The  Company  undertakes  the  following  initiatives  to 
mitigate adverse environmental impacts
•  Noise barriers & noise monitoring

•  Dust suppression & air quality monitoring
•  Recycling & reuse of wastewater

The Company practices greener ways of construction and 
manufacturing;  covering  material  optimization,  using 
eco-friendly raw materials, and adopting energy efficient 
processes. 

Product  performance  extends  beyond  product 
specifications and takes into account life cycle assessments, 
legal requirements as well as Environment, Health & Safety 
(EHS) aspects.

The  labelling  process  is  implemented  in  line  with  the 
relevant codes & specifications. The Company’s electrical 
&  automation  products  and  industrial  machinery  carry 
the  BIS  label,  most  of  these  products  have  international 
certifications and are tested at independent laboratories.

Sustainability Practices in Value Chain
The  Company  views  each  of  its  vendors  as  partners  in 
the shared process of growth. The Company invests time 
and  effort  in  building  mutually  beneficial  relationships.  
The Company guides small & medium scale enterprises in 
process and system improvement and enhanced technical 
know-how.  Specific  encouragement  is  provided  to  local 
sourcing as it improves logistics as well as helps to develop 
the  local  economy.  Around  80%  of  the  Company’s 
requirements are met by local suppliers. In addition, the 
Company’s  customers  are  encouraged  to  purchase  from 
locally approved vendors.  

Being  an  engineering  and  construction  company  and 
owing  to  the  nature  of  its  products  and  services,  the 
scope for direct product recycling is limited. However in 
many  of  the  projects  executed  by  the  Company,  it  has 
provided retrofitting services to extend product life cycle 
span. Company recycled materials amount to less than 5% 
of its total material consumption.  

In the construction businesses, alternate materials such as 
fly ash in place of cement, crushed sand instead of natural 
sand, blast furnace slag in road construction in place of 
natural aggregate etc. are used. Through dedicated steel 
centres, generation of steel scrap is minimized. During the 
manufacturing process, zinc is recovered from zinc waste 
and reused in plating operations. 

27

An environment and social ‘Code of Conduct’, developed 
for the supply chain, has been adopted by key suppliers. 
The code propagates environment-friendly, occupational 
health & safety and socially-responsible business practices. 
The Company conducts capacity building programmes for 
the supply chain, provides training and technical expertise 
on various manufacturing and operational practices such 
as value engineering, six sigma and lean manufacturing. 
Systems  are  in  place  related  to  information  security 
management and confidentiality, and norms are followed 
covering intellectual property rights.

Principle 3: Business should promote  
well-being of employees

An  organisation’s  success  is  the  aggregation  of  the 
individual  successes  of  its  employees.  The  Company 
believes  a  happy  employee  is  a  productive  employee 
who  will,  given  a  conducive  environment,  surpass  his/
her  industry  peers.  The  Company’s  achievements  in 
building  plant  and  equipment  of  unmatched  scale  and 
sophistication would never have been possible without the 
wholehearted involvement of its employees. 

The  Company  integrates  HR  practices  with  business 
strategies to provide employees the opportunity to fulfil 
their  career  aspirations  and  development  needs.  The 
Company encourages its employees to think laterally and 
nurtures a feeling of ownership.

of contract labour for its project activities. The Company 
has  recognized  employee  unions  and  associations  at 
manufacturing  establishments  which  are  affiliated  to 
different trade union bodies. The percentage of permanent 
employees covered under this category is 8.79%.

The  Company’s  HR  development  team  formulates  a 
wide  variety  of  training  programmes  to  nurture  the 
competencies  of  its  employees.  These  interventions  are 
not  limited  to  technical  and  functional  domains;  they 
also  encompass  behavioural  and  managerial  aspects.  In 
addition,  programmes  to  enhance  safety  standards  and

on human rights.  These are practiced in the Company and 
extended to Subsidiary and Associate companies.

The  Company  is  conscious  of  its  role  and  responsibility 
in protecting the environment, conservation of resources 
and mitigating climate change & its impacts. It continues 
to  focus  on  efficient  consumption  of  materials,  energy 
and water through structured and systematic approach.

potential  environmental  risks  and  opportunities  in  its 
operations. 

The  Company’s  strong  alignment  with  NAPCC  is 
demonstrated  through  initiatives  for  energy  and

businesses to ensure fulfilment of environmental and local 
regulations.  The  Company  regularly  submits  compliance 
reports to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) / State 
Pollution Control Boards (SPCB) as per the environmental 
legal  requirements.  During  the  financial  year,  there  are 
no pending or unresolved show cause/legal notices from

plantation in and around all of its manufacturing facilities 
and  project  sites.  In  the  reporting  period,  the  Company 
planted  over  265,000  saplings  across  its  operations.  
The  campuses  of  the  Company  have  over  150,000  fully 
grown trees and around 35% of the available open land 
at its manufacturing locations have a green cover. In the 
reporting  year,  adequate  care  was  taken  to  ensure  that 
the  Company’s  operations  do  not  adversely  impact  the 
biodiversity. 

Recycled raw material 
Most of the Company’s products are Engineered to Order 
(ETO)  and  are  made  in  line  with  stringent  international 
design and manufacturing codes as per the requirements 
of the customers. Input materials meet specified conditions 
and are tested for physical, chemical and other properties 
before they are certified for use. It is, therefore, difficult to 
use recycled input material for most of the product range. 

In  the  construction  business,  Company  promotes  eco-
friendly  technologies  that  continually  replace  natural 
resources like sand, aggregates, cement, bricks and wood 
with recycled material. Crushed sand is used in place of 
natural  sand,  fly-ash  partially  substitutes  cement  and 
Ground  Granulated  Blast  Furnace  Slags  (GGBS)  is  used 
in  place  of  aggregates.  In  the  production  cycle,  zinc  is 
recovered from the plating process and reused for coating 
applications.

Construction:
The Focus on GCC Countries occupies a predominant 
position for PT&D for its International Business. The year 
2012-13 was an extremely challenging year. Long lead 
time between bid submission & Finalization has affected 
the Order Inflow in the Gulf. The Company’s Global Foot 
Print coupled with project execution capabilities helped 
the  Construction  Business  in  securing  major  orders  in 
UAE & Qatar. The Business has substantially improved its 
market share in Qatar. In order to expand the business 
horizon, it has embarked on the ASEAN/African Market. 
Efforts are on to penetrate the market by focusing some 
of the East African Countries.

Business Environment:
Construction  industry  continues  to  witness  slowdown 
and was very sluggish during the2012-13. In UAE, the 
Abu  Dhabi  Government  despite  being  highly  liquid 
and  cash  rich  is  very  cautious  in  their  approach.  It  is 
evident from the delay in placement of Tender/Award 
of Contracts. 

Business Performance:
The  Construction  Business  achieved  a  major 
Breakthrough  in  220  kV  Segment  in  UAE  by  securing 
220/33 kV Grid Station at Zakher & Ayn Al Faydha for 
AADC in addition to 132kV GIS substations for FEWA. 
The  business  has  also  bagged  a  prestigious  order  to 
execute 11 kV Power Distribution Network for Emirates 
Palace.

A  Major  Breakthrough  in  Airport  Segment  in  Gulf 
Market was attained by securing Special Airport System 

Package for Concourse 4 of Dubai International Airport 
and also E&I Works for Abu Dhabi Airport Airside works. 

Volatility in Commodity Prices:
Though  oil  price  was  not  seen  with  much  oscillation, 
the Commodity Price had lot of volatility. However the 
Construction Business protected its margin by mitigating 
the risk through proper hedging.

  Outlook:

In  the  International  (Gulf)  market,  the  combination 
of historically high oil prices, expanded oil production 
and low interest rates is supporting buoyant economic 
activity. Fiscal and external surplus are large, inflation 
is moderate, and prospects for growth remain positive.
GCC  investment  plans  on  Grid  Strengthening  & 
infrastructural development continues to be in line with 
economic development offering substantial potential in 
T&D Sector.
Intensifying  Power  Demand  in  Africa  &  South  East 
Asian  countries  unleashes  significant  potential  &  new 
opportunities in T&D sector.

  With  its  foot  firmly  established  in  all  GCC  countries 
now, the business has set its sight to expand to African 
Countries & corner a significant market share in GCC 
markets.

Electrical & Automation (E&A):
During  financial  year  2012-13,  E&A  registered  44% 
increase  over  the  previous  year  in  Order  Inflow  from 
international  markets.  E&A  Business  earned  10%  of 
its  revenue  from  international  sales  in  FY  2013.  The 
LV & MV switchboard business could get higher orders 
from the Middle-East market, largely from the oil & gas 
sector.  There  also  was  a  flow  of  good  order  from  the 
utility sector in Kenya.

One of the major initiatives taken by E&A Business during 
the financial year was to create an International Sales 
Organization  in  order  to  focus  on  select  geographies 
divided into five clusters. The sales organizational unit, 
called  Cluster  Sales  Unit  (CSU),  will  present  a  single 
face and be responsible for all the customer front-end 
activities related to the geography. They will have full 
responsibility for the implementation and delivery of the 
Lakshya plan in so far as the order input targets for the 
individual BUs under them are concerned. 

The acquisition of Servowatch in the UK and Henikwon 
Corporation in Malaysia will further boost E&A’s business 
prospects. 

During  the  year,  E&A  filed  159  Patent  applications, 
29  Trademark  applications,  36  Design  registrations 
and  2  Copyrights  as  well  as  10  international  Patent 
applications  including  6  Patent  Cooperation  Treaty 
(PCT)  and  4  Gulf  Cooperation  Council  (GCC)  Patent 

61

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
applications.  This  was  the  6th  consecutive  year  of 
filing  more  than  100  Patent  applications.  Continuous 
efforts on IP creation and its management earned the 
business the highest awards in patents filing and design 
registration, instituted by the Indian Patents Office, viz. 
‘The Top Indian Private Company (Large Scale) in Patents 
2012’  and  ‘The  Top  Indian  Organization  in  Designs 
2012’

Future Outlook:
According to the Lakshya plan 2016, the switchboard 
business will continue to focus on improving its share 
of international business and target achieving at least 
25%  of  its  total  revenue.  As  far  as  products  business 
is  concerned,  E&A  has  a  target  to  earn  about  10% 
revenue. This will help the business to increase its overall 
earning from international market in FY 2013-14 and 
achieve 13% target by the end of Lakshya plan 2016.

Power:
The Power Business is engaged in technology solutions 
to setup Coal based Power Plants and Gas based Power 
Plants.  Since  coal  is  not  a  permitted  fuel  in  several 
countries, the potential for projects is seriously limited. 
Hence,  the  focus  is  on  opportunities  for  Gas  Based 
Power  Plant  in  relevant  countries  where  the  Power 
Business  is  confident  of  being  competitive  as  well  as 
capable of successful execution. The focus is on Middle 
East, where the business has set up two smaller power 
projects, and South East Africa. The Power Business is 
pursuing active leads in these regions and striving for a 
major breakthrough.

The  Critical  Piping  unit  which  Manufactures  High 
Pressure  Piping  Spools  for  Thermal  Power  Plants  is 
seeking opportunities in Middle East. Steps have been 
taken to build a business development and Marketing 
team at Abu Dhabi.

The Joint Ventures with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for 
manufacture of Steam Turbines and Steam Generators 
are seeking to supply components to MHI’s third country 
projects.

  Manufacturing & Industrial Products (MIP):

(LTRPM)  has 
Rubber  Machinery  Business  Unit 
successfully  supplied  the  prototype  Press  to  a  major 
European Tyre Manufacturer and the trial is completed. 
Based on this successful performance, LTM has received 
communication for quoting towards serial production of 
10 Nos. of presses to their plants worldwide. LTM also 
succeeded  in  obtaining  an  order  from  another  Major 
American Tyre Major and delivered Automatic Truck Tyre 

62

Building Machines, which opens a new market segment 
for the unit. 

In line with the strategy, Valves Business has strengthened 
marketing network in the Middle East and it has yielded 
results  in  brand  acceptance  and  customer  approvals 
with the National Oil Companies in the region.

Sustained oil & gas project activity in the Middle East, 
North Africa and Australia provided good opportunity 
for valves. Long-term relationships with key end-users 
and EPCs in the Middle East and Far East were leveraged 
to enhance our market presence.

In  the  Valves  business,  approximate  51%  of  our  total 
revenue was from exports.

ANNEXURE ‘C’ TO THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT

A.  CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance is a set of principles, processes and systems which govern a company. The elements of Corporate 
Governance are independence, transparent, accountability, responsibility, compliance ethics, values and trust. Corporate 
Governance enables 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 adopted many ethical and transparent governance practices even before they were mandated by 
law. The Company has always worked towards building trust with shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers and 
other stakeholders based on the principles of good corporate.

B.  COMPANY’S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY

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

C.  THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

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

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

(ii)  Executive Management – by the Corporate Management comprising of the Executive Directors and one Senior 

Managerial Personnel and four Advisors to the Chairman. 

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

(iv)  Operational Management – by the Business Unit (BU) 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.

Investor complaints/queries shown outstanding as on March 31, 
2013 have been subsequently resolved. The substantial increase 
in number of queries is on account of the Company’s repeated 
reminders  to  shareholders  regarding  unclaimed  shares  and 
dividends.

The  Board  has  delegated  the  powers  to 
approve  transfer  of  shares  to  a  Transfer 
Committee of Executives comprising of three 
Senior  Executives.  This  Committee  held  49 
meetings  during  the  year  and  approved  the 
transfer of shares lodged with the Company.

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  74  in 
Annexure ‘C’ to the Directors Report.

Presentations are made regularly to the Board/N&R/
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 & 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. Milind P. Phadke has signed the 
audit report for 2012-13 on behalf of S&T. 

e)  Code of Conduct: 

The  Company  has  laid  down  a  Code  of  Conduct 
for  all  Board  members  and  senior  management 
personnel. The Code of Conduct is available on the 
website of the Company www.larsentourbo.com. 
The declaration of Chairman & Managing Director 
is given below:

To the Shareholders of Larsen & Toubro Limited

Sub: Compliance with Code of Conduct

I hereby declare that all the Board Members and Senior 
Management  Personnel  have  affirmed  compliance 
with  the  Code  of  Conduct  as  adopted  by  the  Board 
of Directors.

Management Discussion & Analysis 2012-13

Global Economic Condition :
In the year 2012-13, the global economy continued to be 
in the throes of challenges and uncertainties. There was a 
divergence in growth and prospects across geographies as 
both governments and central banks attempted to revive 
fledgling growth. To some extent growth was supported 
by  aggressive  monetary  easing  measures  by  the  central 
banks  of  developed  economies  which  also  encouraged 
capital flows into emerging markets. 

Not overlooking the old dangers and new turbulence in 
the  global  markets,  the  near-term  risk  picture  however 
has  improved  as  recent  policy  actions  in  Europe  and  US 
have addressed some of the serious short-term risks. Over 
the past six months, policymakers of advanced economies 
have successfully defused two of the biggest short-term 
threats to the global recovery viz. the threat of a Euro area 
breakup and a sharp fiscal contraction in the US caused by 
a plunge off the “fiscal cliff”.

The  year  also  witnessed  a  noticeable  slowdown  in  the 
emerging economies, a reflection of slack demand in the 
advanced  economies,  domestic  policy  tightening  amidst 
inflationary  conditions  and  end  of  investment  boom  in 
some of the major emerging economies. 

Economic performance across the Middle East and North 
Africa  (MENA)  was  mixed  in  2012.  Political  uncertainty 
continued  to  weigh  on  the  economies  of  the  MENA 
region. Growth in 2012 however increased to above the 
2010 levels largely driven by recovery in the oil exporting 
countries. In 2013, while slower growth is projected in oil 
& gas production due to lower global oil demand, healthy 
growth is expected in non-oil sectors.

The Omani economy continued to grow at a rapid pace. 
The Government has entered into the second year of the 
Eighth Five-Year development plan (2011-2015) allocating 
USD  6.50  Billion  a  year  for  large  public  investment 
programs, particularly in infrastructure and social sectors. 
This  is  enabling  the  economy  to  sustain  the  domestic 
demand  and  strengthen  the  economic  diversification 
program. 

While the world economy is expected to grow at a better 
pace  than  the  last  few  years  with  activity  gradually 

accelerating in major advanced economies, with US in the 
lead, the overall global economic environment still remains 
fragile although the balance of risk is now less skewed to 
the downside than in the recent years. The short-term risks 
are lower as hard landing of the key emerging economies 
has receded. Nonetheless, medium term risk still abounds 
due  to  very  low  growth  or  stagnation  in  the  Euro  area; 
probability of fiscal trouble in the US or Japan; risks related 
to  unconventional  monetary  policy;  and  lower  potential 
output in key emerging market economies. 

Overview of Indian Economy :
The Indian economy in 2012-13, witnessed a decadal low 
growth in GDP of 5.0%. The country has seen economic 
expansion drop since the start of the 2011 to levels even 
below the crisis years of 2008-09. The slowdown which 
started  in  the  industrial  sector  also  extended  to  services 
sector which has been the mainstay of India’s growth story. 

The weakness in the economy is not only cyclical but also 
structural in nature. Domestic supply bottlenecks and policy 
obstacles  have  seen  growth  decelerate  and  investment 
and  industrial  output  slump.  Global  uncertainties  also 
adversely affected growth. The pipeline of new investment 
dried up and existing projects stalled due to bottlenecks 
and  implementation  gaps.  Also,  the  country  continued 
to face persistent challenges due to high inflation, tight 
monetary  policy  and  the  deteriorating  external  balance. 
Despite  good  capital  inflows  in  2012-13,  the  economy 
reported worrisome current account deficit.

A slowdown was witnessed in almost all the sectors of the 
economy in 2012-13. While the moderation in growth in 
agriculture (1.9%) was largely on account of the rainfall 
deficiency,  the  deceleration  of  industrial  production 
growth to 1.2% in 2012-13 from 2.7% in 2011-12 was 
mainly due to contraction in mining and slowing growth 
in  manufacturing  and  electricity  sectors.  Capital  goods 
segment  continued  its  dismal  performance  in  2012-13, 
indicating the lack of investment demand in the economy. 

The services sector saw a further deceleration to a growth 
of  6.8%  in  2012-13  as  compared  to  7.9%  mainly  on 
account of a slowdown in trade, transport, hospitality and 
financial services. 

87

The spurt in the economic growth of the country in the 
past  was  led  by  the  consumption  story.  However,  along 
with investment slowdown, India now faces a challenge 
of a consumption led slowdown. Government expenditure 
growth  decelerated  from  8.6%  in  2011-12  to  3.9%  in 
2012-13 due to the fiscal consolidation by the government 
to  reduce  the  deficit.  The  impact  on  fiscal  deficit  hence 
was immediate as it fell to 4.8% of GDP compared to the 
target of 5.2%. The private final consumption expenditure 
which has the largest share in the GDP of 60% also slowed 
down  to  a  growth  of  4.0%  in  2012-13  from  8.0%  in 
the previous fiscal. The investments throughout the fiscal 
continued  to  remain  in  gloomy  territory  with  growth  in 
gross fixed capital formation being just at 1.7% in 2012-13 
as against 4.4% in 2011-12.

Business Scenario : 
Delayed  policy  measures,  slow-down  in  industrial 
production,  persistently  high  interest  rates  and  liquidity 
concerns  adversely  impacted  the  investment  climate  in 
India  in  2012-13.  Consequently,  the  commitments  on 
capital expenditure and fresh investments were deferred, 
impacting growth prospects of businesses of the Company 
operating in certain sectors such as Power, Minerals and 
Metals,  Defence  and  Fertilizer.  The  sectoral  bottlenecks 
also had an impact on progress on a few ongoing projects. 
Product  businesses  of  the  Company,  recorded  low  sales 
performance on account of sluggish industrial demand. 

The businesses of the Company faced intense competition 
from domestic as well as international players constraining 
the ability of the prices to absorb the cost increases.

Despite  the  economic  challenges,  the  Company  has 
managed to sustain its growth momentum during 2012-13 
on  the  back  of  proven  track  record,  presence  in  diverse 
sectors and forays in the select international markets. 

• 

The infrastructure development is an irreversible process 
for  energising  growth  in  India.  The  Government  has 
reiterated  its  commitment  to  kick-start  delayed  projects 
in the infrastructure space. The Government has also taken 
measures  to  reduce  fiscal  deficit  to  provide  stability  and 
protect the credit standing. New investments are expected 
in Transport Infrastructure, Urban Infrastructure, Oil & Gas, 
Fertilizer, Renewable Energy sectors. 

Speedy  resolution  of  issues  relating  to  mining,  land 
acquisition,  implementation  of  Power  sector  reforms, 

88

private sector participation in indigenisation and defence 
manufacturing will boost the Company’s prospects. 

Growth Strategies and Thrust Areas :
•  Business Structure and Strategic Plan :

The Company structure is well-crafted and is providing 
necessary  focus  to  encash  growth  opportunities. 
Businesses have drawn strategic plan “Lakshya 2016” 
and are taking initiatives to enhance performance and 
long term value creation.

• 

Strengthening Execution & Operational 
Efficiency :
The  businesses  have  taken  up  various  initiatives  for 
cost  optimization  and  productivity  enhancement. 
Operational excellence, smart contract management 
are key focus areas to improve margins on large sized, 
long cycle jobs under execution.

•  Capacity Augmentation :

The Company has been investing in capacity ramp-up 
in  emerging  businesses  as  well  as  its  core  business 
to enhance execution capabilities. The Company has 
undertaken  capital  expenditure  in  2012-13  mainly 
to acquire plant & machinery for its Engineering and 
Construction businesses.

During the year, the Shipbuilding cum port facilities 
at  Kattupalli,  Tamil  Nadu,  have  commenced  its 
commercial  operations.  The  Special  Steel  &  Heavy 
Forgings  facility,  being  one  of  the  longest  forging 
facilities in the world, has also been commissioned.

International Business : 
On  the  international  front,  the  countries  in  the 
Middle East, South Asia, select markets in CIS region, 
and  Africa  hold  good  prospects.  The  businesses 
are  focusing  on  securing  pre-qualifications  and 
strengthening  of  international  organization.  Higher 
share  of  international  business  provide  excellent 
de-risking  opportunities  and  necessary  impetus  to 
the performance of the Company. The international 
business,  however,  poses  various  challenges  in 
terms of stiff competition pressures on delivery time 
lines  and  margins,  volatility  in  the  exchange  rates, 
compliance with the local laws, requirements of local 
sourcing etc.

 
 
 
 
 
•  Human Resource Development :

The Company strives to be an Employer of Choice. High 
quality recruitment supports the talent management 
practices  of the Company. To augment the journey 
of internationalisation of the Company and create a 
multicultural  work  force,  strengthening  leadership 
cadre  with  appropriate  domain  competencies  has 
been  done,  particularly  in  the  Middle  East  and  for 
other growth areas.

High  potential  and  high  performing  employees 
continue to be developed through a six-step leadership 
development  module.  The  Company  continues  to 
foster a high performance culture by recognising good 
performers and providing them with career enhancing 
opportunities. Several HR initiatives have been taken 

for  the  strategic  alignment  of  the  HR  function  with 
the  business  objectives.  These  initiatives  encompass 
employee  engagement,  learning  &  development 
besides improved internal communication mechanism 
with employees. The Company’s Project Management 
Institute in Baroda hosts several programs on project 
execution  excellence  to  complete  projects  in  time 
and within cost and is directly linked to the vision of 
the  Company  of  being  a  global  player  in  its  project 
businesses.

Accordingly, the Company is positioned well for growth 
and  to  create  value  for  all  its  stakeholders.  It  is  in  this 
background that the Company’s various businesses present 
their operations review for the year 2012-13 as under :

Business Environment :
The domestic business environment continues to remain 
uncertain.  Though  the  government  has  initiated  some 
policy  decisions,  its  impact  on  investments  is  yet  to  be 
seen.  Large  value  fertilizer  orders  and  onshore  gas 
processing  orders  have  got  repeatedly  deferred.  Due  to 
limited  opportunities  available,  competition  tends  to  be 
aggressive.  Operational  excellence  initiatives  are  helping 
the business to improve its competitiveness.

The international business segment continues to be very 
active and several projects are slated for tendering in the 
near term particularly in KSA, UAE and Oman. Also, new 
geographies identified offer growth opportunities, though 
the award of projects may take longer.

Significant Initiatives :
During  the  year,  the  business  achieved  several  pre-
qualifications for major upcoming projects in KSA, UAE, 
Kuwait  and  entered  into  strategic  alliances  with  major 
EPC bidders for targetted projects. Operational excellence 
measures  such  as  productivity  monitoring,integrated 
project  execution,  knowledge  management  across 
projects,  effective  contract  management,  optimum 
inventory management are undertaken for projects under 
execution. 

The  business  continued  to  engage  key  business 
development personnel and international business heads in 
select geographies. Also, the Company is in the process of 
establishing branch/representative offices in Turkmenistan 
and  Indonesia.  During  the  year,  an  In-Kingdom  EPC 
Company was registered in Saudi Arabia in order to bid 
for projects reserved for In-Kingdom Company.

Health,  Safety  and  Environment  are  core  values  for 
hydrocarbon business. The business strives for continuous 
improvement  for  the  protection  and  development  of 

92

health, safety, and environmental assets of its employees 
and stakeholders. During the year, the business continued 
its  thrust  on  the  safety  cultural  transformation  through 
various  initiatives.  Through  its  robust  HSE  Management 
System  and  dedicated  organizational  support  led 
by  committed  leadership,  the  business  continued  to 
emphasize  on  the  Zero  Incident  Credo.  Despite  working 
at peak, with 110 million man-hours being clocked, the 
business  achieved  zero  fatality  during  the  year.  Eight 
projects were commissioned safely without any reportable 
incident during the year. 

Various  training  programs  were  conducted  at  offices  & 
project  sites  on  key  topics  including  safety  in  design.  A 
world class Safety Innovation School was inaugurated at 
Hazira to enhance the safety competency of the personnel 
through  experiential  and  innovative  learning  process. 
Various internal & external audits were conducted during 
the year to monitor the implementation of various safety 
systems  at  the  project  sites  along  with  a  close  follow 
up  for  closure  of  the  recommendations.  Campaigns  on 
various  on-job  and  off-job  safety  issues  such  as  Traffic 
Safety,  Home  Safety  along  with  Environmental  issues 
were conducted during the year. Environment protection 
remains a priority for the business and various initiatives 
adopted  at  office  campuses  and  project  sites  have  led 
to significant conservation of precious resources such as 
energy and water.

During  the  year,  a  number  of  international  safety 
certifications  were  achieved,  which  are  vital  in  view  of 
the  growing  international  operations.  The  business  won 
several recognitions, accolades and appreciations on safety 
from  clients  and  national  and  international  agencies, 
which includes National Safety Council, American Society 
of Safety Engineers, British Safety Council & RoSPA. MFF 
Hazira & MFY Sohar Fabrication Yards have received the 
prestigious Green Banding & Amber Banding respectively 
for its sustainable safety systems from M/s. SHELL through 
OGP pre-qualification assessment methodology. 

The  Hydrocarbon  business  has  a  strong  resource  base 
of  skilled  and  experienced  people  working  in  various 
disciplines. HR efforts are targeted to ensure that the right 
talent is sourced, selected, trained and deployed across the 
organisation. Special efforts are being put to identify high 
potential leaders and groom them through six stages of 
leadership development to take on higher responsibilities 
in the future. 

As a part of its drive towards building international project 
management  capabilities,  several  senior  professionals 
have  been  recruited  from  top  notch  international  EPC 
companies  during  the  year.  Today,  one  out  of  every  5 
people working in the Gulf countries for the business is a 
foreign national.

Hydrocarbon  business  has  set  up  an  in-house  training 
Centre at the Sohar Yard, Oman for training local people 
in  trades  such  as  Welders,  Crane  Operator,  Riggers, 
Electricians  and  Safety  Marshals.  Since  inception,  450 
locals  have  been  trained.  In  addition,  L&T  Sohar  yard  in 
collaboration with Ministry of Manpower, Oman plans to 
provide welder training to young people on a continuing 
basis. 

The  Hydrocarbon  business  has  institutionalised  risk 
management processes with clear policies and guidelines 
and  usage  of  quantitative  tools  to  enhance/protect 
operating  margins.  The  Risk  Management  process  is 
aimed  at  identification,  assessment,  mitigation  and 
monitoring risks from pre-bid to execution stage and also 
capturing learnings after project close-out. Industry-wide 
tools  like  Palisade,  @Risk,  Primavera  Risk  Analysis  are 
deployed for cost estimation and schedule risk analysis to 

94

enhance  quantitative  risk  management.  The  challenges 
in the form of growing competition, newer geographies, 
forex  and  commodity  price  fluctuations  and  manpower 
attrition are effectively mitigated through specific actions 
like  operational  excellence  initiatives,  appointing  local 
representatives  in  target  countries,  proactive  hedge 
management  and  employee  engagement  programmes. 
L&T is one of the sponsor members for Engineering and 
Construction  Risk  Institute  (ECRI),  USA-an  initiative  of

of  37  leading  global  companies  from  Engineering  and 
Construction  industry.  Project  Managers/Project  team 
members  of  the  business  are  undergoing  certified  Risk 
Induction Programme conducted by ECRI (Engineering & 
Construction Risk Institute) on a continuous basis to get 
acquainted  with  Global  Best  Practices  in  Engineering  & 
Construction Risk Management.

Outlook : 
With oil prices expected to be steady, rising demand for 
oil & gas from the developing world, the business believes 
that  there  will  be  a  revival  in  Oil  &  Gas  capex  in  FY14, 
resulting in expected increase in award activities. Also, the 
business observes a trend of increasing brown field jobs 
due to ‘Enhanced Oil Recovery’ requirements of existing 
fields.  Gradual  depletion  of  shallow  water  prospects 
makes it imperative to be ready for deepwater offerings.

new  build  Jack-ups  &  FPSO  Topsides  collaborating  with 
leading players in the field. Focused emphasis is being laid 
on developing sub-sea business segment, possibly through 
alliances. 

Government  has  cleared  the  Urea  Investment  Policy 
2012,  which  augurs  well  for  investments  in  this  sector. 
Accordingly, sustained investments in this sector through 
Brownfield Urea expansion projects in lump-sum turnkey 
mode is expected.

Good  opportunities  are  also  visible  in  onshore  gas 
processing  projects  especially  in  India  and  refinery 
expansion projects both in India and Overseas. 

Large  investments  are  also  expected  in  cross-country 
pipeline  projects  over  the  next  three  to  five  years.  The 
business  is  confident  of  capturing  the  market  given  its 
strength in in-house engineering, key strategic equipments 
and experienced workforce. 

Pipelines prospects are increasing in KSA, Oman and Iraq 
while such prospects have reduced in UAE and Qatar. New 
gas finds in Oman coupled with Government’s keenness 
to develop more fields is an encouraging sign.

Buildings and Factories Business

Crescent Bay - an elite residential project coming up in the heart of Mumbai, India’s commercial capital.

Overview :
Buildings & Factories (B&F) business undertakes engineering 
design and construction of Airports, IT Parks, office spaces, 
educational  institutions,  stadiums,  convention  centers, 
metro  stations,  hospitals,  hotels,  residential  buildings, 
factories, cement plants and warehouses.

The thrust is on focused development in various building 
segments  and  expanding  customer  base  by  providing 
“Concept  to  Commissioning”  solutions.  This  helps 
in  maintaining  the  leadership  position,  retaining  key 
customers,  entering  new  markets  and  securing  major 
orders. Construction excellence coupled with technology, 
experience  and  expertise  gained  over  several  decades 
has  established  B&F  business  as  one  of  the  premium 
contractors in the industry.

Business Environment :
Despite  a  global  economic  slowdown  and  lower  GDP 
growth  in  India,  B&F  business  stood  out  in  the  market 
during  2012-13  with  impressive  growth  in  terms  of 
revenue and order book. 

The B&F business saw a considerable growth in the order 
book in residential segment due to the increased focus in 
affordable housing and real estate development in Tier II 
cities along with the metros. It leveraged upon the same 
by bagging a number of major orders and expanding its 
geographical presence. In IT space segment, the business 
was  able  to  match  the  order  inflow  plans  despite  weak 
economic  scenarios  in  US  and  Europe  which  adversely 
affected  the  expansion  plans  of  IT  companies.  The  year 
was  challenging  for  some  segments  like  factories  and 
airports.  In  factories  segment,  companies  preferred  split 
up packages with low project value. For airport segment, 

97

major domestic airport projects got delayed due to hurdles 
in land acquisition.

After  strengthening  itself  in  Mumbai,  the  residential 
business unit has marked a pan-India presence by bagging 
major  orders  from  leading  real  estate  developers  across 
the country. In factories segment, B&F business received 
a  major  order  to  construct  a  defence  facility.  In  airports 
segment,  it  bagged  orders  to  construct  the  passenger 
terminal  building  in  Chandigarh  and  Sindhudurg.  In  IT 
space, orders were bagged to construct IT Parks for major 
IT companies. In institutional segment, the business was 
successful  in  winning  a  bid  to  construct  a  new  campus 
for  the  Indian  Institute  of  Technology  (IIT).  B&F  business 
also  received  orders  to  construct  5-star  hotels  for  major 
hospitality companies. It strengthened its position in UAE 
by bagging a major order for construction of a specialty 
hospital  in  Abu  Dhabi  for  NMC  Healthcare,  thereby 
increasing its international share. 

Some of the key projects commissioned by B&F business 
during the year include ITC Grand Chola, a 5-star luxury 
hotel in Chennai, Elante mall in Chandigarh, ATC Tower 
and  a  single  span  hangar  for  Mumbai  International 
Airport, IT Parks in Chennai and Gandhinagar, GIFT City 
in Gandhinagar, cement plants and river view apartments 
in Lucknow.

Significant Initiatives : 
Apart  from  continuing  its  focus  on  emerging  trends  in 
technological enhancements, B&F business also targeted 
to sharpen its business strategy. Key moves were made in 
order to have a better picture on emerging markets, new 
businesses  and  strategic  tie-up.  Strategic  initiatives  had 
been planned and implemented by each business unit to 
spread across geographies, improve operational excellence 
and expand customer portfolio. In order to harness new 
opportunities in Africa and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 
(KSA),  new  offices  were  setup  in  Nairobi  in  Kenya  and 
Riyadh in KSA. 

With the thrust to bridge the gaps in the niche areas for 
business growth and enhance project execution capabilities 
through  an  integrated  human  resource  approach,strong 
focus  was  laid  on  talent  acquisition  while  hiring  expats, 
professionals,  and  students  from  premier  institutes. 
Customised programs were conducted for the employees 
in  order  to  address  the  skill  gaps  through  a  number  of 

98

in-house  training  and  development  programs.  Employee 
performance  was  also  reviewed  through  a  sophisticated 
performance  management  system.  Various  workmen 
management centers have been set up in order to improve 
their skills and increase work efficiency.

Institutionalising  strong  internal  control  mechanisms 
covering  total  operations  has  been  the  thrust  areas  of 
the business. Further, it has well documented policies and 
guidelines  for  evaluation  and  authorisation  of  tenders 
being submitted/work orders and purchase orders being 
placed.  B&F  business  has  constituted  a  separate  cell  to 
monitor various business processes at project locations for 
identifying and rectifying any weaknesses observed.

Outlook :
Some  key  decisions  by  the  Government  are  expected 
to  facilitate  major  prospects  in  the  coming  years.  The 
Government has decided on increasing fund allocation to 
health  sectors,  setting  up  new  educational  institutions, 
allowing FDI in aviation and retail and relaxation in floor 
space index in high rise structures. All these decisions create 
favorable  scenarios  for  sectors  like  IT  space,  hospitals, 
institutional space, aviation, mixed use development and 
residential space.

In the private sector, IT companies’ plans to expand into 
non-metros and expansion plans by auto, pharmaceutical 
and cement companies will add to business prospects.

In order to capitalise on the positive outlook for 2013-14, 
B&F  business  has  taken  steps  to  strengthen  its  presence 
in UAE and Oman and also establish its footprint in other 
countries such as Africa, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and KSA 
by forming strategic tie-ups and targeting major orders.

as premier construction major in both the transportation 
infrastructure sectors of Road & Rail in India. Transportation 
Infrastructure business has consolidated its presence and 
made considerable inroads in the Gulf in the year 2012-13.

Business Environment : 
Due  to  the  continuing  policy  inaction  and  sluggish 
economic  scenario  in  India,  much  of  the  mega  projects 
have been delayed in recent past posing a challenge for 
new  BOT  orders  in  the  domestic  market.  In  smaller  EPC 
projects  and  railway  projects  the  competition  remains 
intense due to a large number of players with aggressive 
bidding  strategies.  In  international  market  a  lot  of  local 
players  with  huge  asset  base  are  chasing  new  projects. 
Strategic tie-ups with local players appears imperative for 
achieving success.

For  Renewable  Energy  projects,  some  challenges  are 
technology  risk  of  solar  module  performance,  weak 
compliance  towards  Renewable  Purchase  Obligations 
(RPOs),  demand  for  crashed  project  timelines  and 
operational  and  logistical  hurdles  due  to  remoteness 
of  sites.  Intense  competition  from  emerging  local  and 
experienced international players is also a major challenge. 

The Renewable Energy BU is executing a 125 MW Solar 
Thermal  Power  Project,  the  largest  of  its  kind  in  Asia, 
based on Compact Linear Fresnel technology provided by 
Areva,  for  Reliance  Power.  Apart  from  the  above,  a  20 
MW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Plant has been commissioned 
for Kiran Energy at Phalodi, Rajasthan and a 17 MW Solar 
PV  Plant  has  been  commissioned  for  Malpani  Group  at 
Pokhran, Rajasthan. Also, new orders have been secured, 
which  include  a  55  MW  Solar  PV  Plant  for  Kiran  Energy 
in Tamil Nadu under REC mechanism and a 20 MW Solar 
PV Plant for another leading developer in Rajasthan. With 
over 300 MW of Solar projects executed/under-execution 

Thermal desalination plants are part of L&T’s capabilities in the water sector

till date, L&T is the first and only Indian company to enter 
the list of leading international Solar EPC players as per a 
report published by IMS Research. 

Significant Initiatives :
The  Water  &  Renewable  Energy  business  has  grown  at 
a  good  pace  in  previous  years  and  looks  set  to  grow 
sustainably in the future. Some initiatives that have been 
taken to drive growth are :
1.  Expansion  of  presence  in  India  to  new  states  by 

formation of new project clusters;

2.  Targeting  new  geographies  to  tap  emerging 
opportunities in water and renewable energy sectors;
3.  Focus  on  emerging  businesses  like  Desalination, 
Water Management and Solar Thermal Applications;
4.  Deploying  best-in-class  technologies  such  as  Micro-
tunneling,  Tracker-based  projects,  Micro-grids  for 
achieving market differentiation.

The  business  is  also  differentiating  from  competition 
its  customer-oriented,  quality-conscious 
through 
and  technology-driven  approach  towards  business. 
Benchmarks are being created for operational excellence 
through efficient internal systems and processes.

Outlook : 
Rapid  urbanisation  and  industrialisation  in  India  is 
providing  impetus  for  creation  of  efficient  and  reliable 
Water  infrastructure  for  supply  of  potable  water  and 
collection,  treatment  &  re-use  of  waste  water.  Stringent 

pollution  control  norms  and  their  enforcement  is  also  a 
major driver for investment in effective effluent-treatment 
systems. Also substantial investments are envisaged in lift-
irrigation projects. It is encouraging to note that more than 
  15,000  crore  have  been  earmarked  for  various  water 

supply and sewerage projects in India in 2013-14.

The demand for clean and green sources of energy is on 
the  rise.  The  National  Action  Plan  on  Climate  Change 
(NAPCC)  envisages  a  15%  mix  of  renewable  energy  in 
India  by  2020.  The  12th  five  year  plan  (2012-2017)  has 
targeted  a  capacity  addition  of  15  GW  in  Wind  sector. 
The Jawaharlal National Solar Mission has targeted a total 
installed capacity of 20 GW of grid-connected Solar plants 
by  2022.  The  year  2013-14  is  going  to  see  a  large  PV 
capacity of around 4000 MW being allocated in India. For 
Wind  Power  projects,  the  reinstatement  of  Generation-
based  Incentives  (GBIs)  is  expected  to  give  impetus  to 
investments. With expected thrust on Renewable Purchase 
Obligation  (RPO)  compliance,  restructuring  of  financials 
of  state  distribution  companies  and  augmentation  of 
transmission and distribution infrastructure, the renewable 
energy  sector  looks  all  set  for  a  period  of  accelerated 
growth.  Also,  the  business  environment  for  Integrated 
Security Solutions looks bright with tenders being floated 
by  various  government  authorities  for  city  surveillance 
systems, intelligent traffic monitoring systems and security 
systems for critical infrastructure setups like nuclear power 
plants and airports.

Power Business

L&T’s joint venture with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries introduced world-class supercritical technology to India. L&T is rapidly building a presence 
in India in pursuit of its mission to become the ‘most preferred provider of equipment, services and turnkey solutions for fossil-fuel-based power 
plants in the Indian market’. 

Overview : 
Power business is an integrated concept-to-commissioning 
solutions  provider  for  thermal  power  plants  engaged 
in  setting  up  of  coal  and  gas  based  power  generation 
projects  on  a  lump  sum  turnkey  basis.  With  world 
class  manufacturing  facilities  for  supercritical  boilers, 
steam  turbines,  generators,  pressure  piping,  axial 
fans,  air-preheaters  and  electrostatic  precipitators,  and 
an  unparalleled  experience  in  project  management, 
engineering  &  construction  management,  the  business 
has the capability to cater to 85% (by value) of the power 
generation value chain.

The business has an organization structure dovetailed for 
performance  with  focused  business  units  supported  by 
competency-based capability centers and service functions.

Geographically, the business has a pan-India presence with 
multiple project sites and project management centers at 

Vadodara,  Faridabad  and  Chennai.  The  manufacturing 
facilities  for  critical  piping  and  electrostatic  precipitators 
are  located  at  Hazira.  The  facilities  for  boilers,  turbines, 
generators,  axial  fans  and  air  preheaters  (housed  in 
joint  venture  companies)  are  also  located  at  Hazira.  The 
business has set up establishments in various locations in 
India  to  assist  business  development,  with  procurement 
being supported by a China office.

The Company is a significant domestic player in the power 
market,  with  substantial  investments  in  manufacturing 
capacity for supercritical power equipment. Multinational 
companies have also taken steps to create India facilities by 
tying up with or acquiring a local company. With these,the 
domestic supercritical manufacturing capacity is slated to 
cross 25,000 MW by 2014-15. 

115

Business Environment : 
The  year  2012-13  witnessed  weak  environment  with 
continuing problems of coal and gas supply, land acquisition 
hurdles  and  regulatory  uncertainty.  The  inflation  levels, 
which remained high for better part of the year, and the 
resulting  high  interest  rates  further  contributed  to  the 
subdued  sentiment.  As  a  result,  IPPs  vanished  from  the 
market, leading to a slump in order prospects. Excluding 
NTPC Bulk orders which were announced in previous years, 
the total ordering in 2012-13 was a meager 6,600 MW.

In  response  to  industry  demand  for  duty  imposition  on 
imported  power  equipment,  the  government  imposed 
21% duty (5% basic customs duty + 12% countervailing 
duty + 4% special additional duty) on power equipment 
imports. Consequently, excise duty of 12% has also been 
levied  on  domestic  suppliers,due  to  which  the  overall 
benefit  of  duty  imposition  has  been  diluted.  To  counter 
this duty imposition, foreign suppliers have started utilizing 
their competitive advantage of low interest rates to bundle 
low-cost financing as an additional offering to owners.

The  gas  output  of  the  country  reached  all-time  low  in 
2012-13. This has led to a near shutdown of the gas-based 
power market in the nation. The business has taken this 
weak  domestic  situation  as  an  opportunity  to  explore 
tapping  overseas  markets,  predominantly  in  South  East 
Asia and Middle East. 

The  year  2012-13  also  saw  extremely  aggressive 
competition  with  incumbents  bidding  low  prices  to  bag 
awards  in  the  shrunk  market.  The  business  has  initiated 
aggressive  cost  saving  measures  to  shield  margins  in  an 
enviornment of price pressures.

For  2013-14,  a  slight  improvement  is  expected  in  the 
market  opportunities,  with  government  tenders  worth 
9,000 MW on the anvil. Moreover, state electricity boards 
are  now  leaning  towards  EPC  ordering  mode  which  is 
positive  for  integrated  EPC  players  like  the  Company’s 
Power business.

Post the market downturn of 2011 and 2012, the second 
half of fiscal 2013 witnessed Power business revive itself  
with multiple order wins across business units. Two major 
awards  bagged  during  the  year  came  from  RRVUNL  for 
their 2x660 MW EPC project at Chhabra (Rajasthan) and 
NPCIL for the Balance of Turbine Island job at their 2x700 
MW Rawatbhata (Rajasthan) project.

On the execution front, the year saw critical milestones like 
stator erection, hydro-test, turbine box-up being achieved 
in  some  of  the  projects.  The  business  also  successfully 
executed complicated multi-modal logistics plans for heavy 
equipment across long distances and difficult terrain.

116

The difficult interest rate regime for the better part of the 
year  meant  that  the  business  had  to  keep  a  rigid  focus 
on  working  capital  management  and  ensure  collection 
of  customer  outstandings.  Despite  some  slowdown  by 
lenders in disbursals to power sector, Power business could 
manage to collect the dues from its customers and ended 
the year with a healthy cash flow position.

Significant Initiatives :
The  Power  business  introduced  a  slew  of  operational 
initiatives  during  the  year  to  counter  the  market 
slowdown. The business also received critical recognition 
for its capabilities across various competencies. The state-
of-the-art  “Project  Monitoring  System”  which  allows 
real-time single-touch monitoring of all project sites of the 
business  was  recognized  by  NASSCOM  which  conferred 
the  NASSCOM  INNOVATION  3.0  award  on  the  business 
for “best IT driven innovation in manufacturing vertical”. 
The  Quality  Management  Capability  Center  bagged  the 
prestigious  “Golden  Peacock  National  Quality  Award” 
for  excellence  in  implementing  quality  initiatives  and 
improving  business  practices.  Safety  is  one  of  the  most 
crucial  factors  that  has  upheld  the  execution  excellence 
reputation  of  the  business.  Bolstering  this  reputation, 
Power business received the British Safety Council’s Sword 
of Honour, which is the most coveted award in the area of 
Health and Safety worldwide.

The  Power  Training  Institute,  set  up  at  Vadodara  last 
year,  to  develop  a  pool  of  talented  power  professionals 
conducted  training  programs  across  the  gamut  of 
competencies during the year. Strong emphasis has been 
placed on engineering and technology services to bring in 
cutting-edge execution practices.

To insulate the business portfolio from the volatility of a 
single market, Power business has taken steps to expand 
operations beyond India. Since coal is not a permitted fuel 
in several countries, the potential for coal projects overseas 
is  limited.  Thus  the  focus  is  on  opportunities  for  Gas 
Based  Power  Plants  in  the  countries  where  the  business 
is  confident  of  being  competitive  as  well  as  capable  of 
successful execution. The focus is on Middle East where 
the  business  has  set  up  two  small  power  projects  and 
South East Asia. The business is pursuing active leads in 
these regions and striving for a major breakthrough.

The Critical Piping unit which Manufactures High Pressure 
Piping  Spools  for  Thermal  Power  Plants  is  seeking 
opportunities  in  Middle  East.  Steps  have  been  taken  to 
build a business development team at Abu Dhabi.

The  Joint  Ventures  with  Mitsubishi  Heavy  Industries  for 
manufacture  of  Steam  Turbines  and  Steam  Generators 

are seeking to supply components to MHI’s third country 
projects.

Outlook :
While  the  year  2012-13  saw  increased  awareness  and 
acknowledgement of problems plaguing the power sector 
with  many  announcements  on  reforms,  it  is  important 
for these announcements to translate into action on the 
ground for the sector environment to improve. Government 
promises on fuel supply agreements, fuel price pooling are 
yet to fructify as also are the issues of standard bidding 
documents (SBD) and fuel pass-through for imported coal 
based  plants.  Though  serious  discussions  are  currently 
underway  between  industry  and  the  government,  it  is 
likely that these deliberations will take 12 to 18 months 
to yield results. Thus the year 2013-14 is likely to remain 
subdued for the industry with continued pricing pressures 
as domestic players chase the few available opportunities. 

With the IPP market having dried up, opportunities for the 
business during the year will come from PSUs like NTPC 
and State Electricity Boards. For gas-based opportunities 
in South East Asia and Middle East, we have made good 
progress  on  prequalification  and  significant  efforts  have 
been made to make a breakthrough in 2013-14.

Driven  by  its  relentless  focus  on  execution  excellence, 
Power business is well placed to capitalize on the thermal 
power opportunities as they emerge and fortify its place 
as a credible integrated power EPC player in India.

Reactors sail out from L&T’s manufacturing facility at Hazira for coal gasification plants in Vietnam.

Business Environment :
Despite the weak global economic scenario and pending 
policy decisions on the domestic front the business booked 
higher Order Inflow & Sales during 2012-13 with successes 
in the overseas markets. Lack of level playing field due to 
Free Trade Agreements signed by the Government of India 
has increased competition in the domestic market. 

The  process  plant  equipment  business  faces  aggressive 
pricing, deliveries and payment terms offered by European, 
Korean and Japanese fabricators. Localization policies of 
certain countries and preference to local suppliers by certain 
EPC companies due to socio-political conditions have also 
impacted the HE business. The business’s competitiveness 
is also influenced by the absence of competitively priced, 
long tenor financing from Indian export credit agencies for 
exported engineering products. 

The defence business was impacted by delay in decision 
making  on  ordering  and  long  bid  to  award  cycle.  While 
numerous new programs were initiated through the issue 
of request of information (RFIs) and request for proposals 
(RFPs), the procurement process has not picked pace given 
the controversies in defence procurement and budget cuts 
enforced in the last quarter of the financial year. Defence 
offset opportunities have not fructified in significant value 
terms due to delayed procurement and dilution in offset 
related  guidelines  viz.;  inclusion  of  homeland  security  & 
civil aviation (as eligible for offset credits) and introduction 
of multipliers for small & medium enterprises. 

120

Significant Initiatives : 
In the pursuit of manufacturing excellence and productivity, 
the  business  is  committed  and  continues  to  invest  in  its 
campaign titled ‘UDAAN’ which signifies flight or breaking 
free from existing mindsets to scale new heights. UDAAN 
was initiated with the objective of achieving an exclusive 
position  in  the  global  process  plant  equipment  and  to 
fortify our lead position as supplier of defence equipment 
& systems from the private sector. 

Some of the initiatives under “UDAAN” are :
Implementation of Theory of Constraints
• 
Lakshya
• 
Enterprise-wide  Collaboration  for  Alignment  with 
• 
Strategy (ECAS)
Employee Engagement
Innovation
Sustainability

• 
• 
• 

‘Theory  of  Constraints’  based  ‘Critical  Chain  Project 
Management’  targets  improving  execution  and  delivery 
performance. The business undertook a mid-term review 
of its ‘Lakshya’ – a five year strategic plan for identifying 
strategies  and  action  plans  that  are  expected  to  drive 
growth during the plan period. 

ECAS seeks to enhance Organizational Excellence through 
a strategy of promoting Customer Intimacy and promoting 
a culture of Collaboration.

Employee engagement, feedback and ideation workshops 
are conducted with the objective of creating an innovative, 
involved and committed work force. 

Technology & Product Development Centers are focused 
on  process  technologies,  manufacturing  technologies, 
mechanical  systems  technologies,  defence  electronics 
technologies, embedded software solutions and submarine 
designs.  These  centers  provide  specific  emphasis  on 
welding & metallurgy, composite materials, heat transfer, 
hydrodynamics,  computational  fluid  dynamics,  stress 
analysis,  microwave  &  RF  technologies,  embedded 
systems, high availability systems, military communication 
and drives technologies.

Outlook :
In  the  hydrocarbon  sector,  business  prospects  are 
promising in the medium term to long term with expected 
investments in greenfield, upgradation and revamp projects 
in the USA, Middle East, CIS and South East Asian markets. 
Increased shale gas availability in USA and Australia could 
result in announcement of LNG and GTL projects. The new 
urea investment policy is expected to incentivize domestic 
investments in fertilizer plants. In the nuclear equipment 
business,  the  civil  nuclear  liability  implementation  rules 
have been tabled in Parliament but ambiguity in respect of 
the extent of liability remains. For domestic nuclear power 
plants procurement process for long lead items is expected 
to commence.

The Ministry of Defence has announced a decision to give 
impetus to indigenization as a thrust area. Under this new 
policy  Defence  procurement  programs  are  expected  to 
follow  hierarchical  categorization  process  by  preference 
to  Buy  (Indian),  Buy  &  Make  (Indian),  Make  categories 
ahead of Buy & Make (Global) and Buy (Global) categories. 
This would benefit the Indian industry with proven track 
record over the medium to long term. The business is also 
leveraging  its  product  portfolio  of  multiple  engineering 
systems  to  tap  overseas  market  opportunities  in  the 
defence segment. 

With superior technology, a lot of it home grown, state 
of the art manufacturing facilities and a committed work 
force,  the  HE  business  is  well  poised  to  tap  upcoming 
business opportunities.

Electrical & Automation (E&A) Business

India’s widest range of switchgear, offered by L&T. Switchgear is part of L&T’s broad range of electrical and electronic systems, widely used in 
industrial, agricultural, building and commercial sectors.

Overview :
Electrical & Automation (E&A) is one of the core businesses 
of  the  Company.  Its  suite  of  offerings  include  low  and 
medium  voltage  Switchgear,  Electrical  Systems,  Marine 
Switchgear, Industrial and Building Automation Solutions, 
Surveillance Systems,Energy Meters & Relays. Its products 
and solutions cater to a variety of segments like industries, 
utilities, infrastructure, buildings and agriculture.

A major strength of the E&A business is its in-house design 
and development capability for its products and solutions. 
It also has state of the art high precision tool manufacturing 
facilities, a pre-requisite for high quality products. It runs 
four Switchgear Training Centres (STCs) across India that 
imparts training to engineers, consultants, technicians and 
electricians.

The  manufacturing  facilities  are  located  at  Mumbai 
(Powai), Navi Mumbai (Mahape & Rabale), Ahmednagar, 
Vadodara, Coimbatore and Mysore in India as well as in 
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and the 
UK.

The  E&A  business  comprises  two  Strategic  Business 
Groups (SBGs) and designated subsidiaries. Further, there 
are  business  units  that  operate  under  each  SBG.  The 
Products  SBG  includes  Electrical  Standard  Products  (ESP) 
and  Metering  &  Protection  System  (MPS)  while  Projects 
SBG has Electrical Systems & Equipment (ESE) and Control 
& Automation (C&A).

123

Business Environment : 
The E&A business witnessed sluggish economic conditions, 
affected by factors such as tight liquidity, delayed policy 
decisions  and  deferments  in  projects  finalization,  Rupee 
weakening against US Dollar, volatility in commodity prices 
and rise in input costs.

The E&A business, however, sees better business prospects 
in  Middle  East  evidenced  by  increase  in  enquiries/
order  inflow.  Business  performance  in  sectors  such  as 
solar,  telecom,  oil  &  gas  and  agriculture  were  better  in 
comparison  to  the  traditional  sectors  like  infrastructure, 
power, utilities etc.

ESP  focuses  on  Tier  II/III  cities/towns  in  India,  in-line 
with  their  growth  strategy.  The  MPS  business,  that  is 
primarily restricted to institutional clients like state- owned 
distribution  companies,  remained  flat  amidst  fierce 
competition.  ESE  continued  its  focus  to  strengthen  its 
position  in  Medium  Voltage.  C&A  is  putting  continuous 
efforts  on  adding  higher  value  through  own  IP  based 
solutions and strengthening the delivery process.

Despite these odds, the E&A business registered a growth 
in order inflow and revenue in the year 2012-13.

Significant Initiatives :
Not withstanding the economic slowdown, E&A was on 
course to improving its performance in a variety of ways 
that  comprised  restructuring  business,  acquisitions,  new 
capacity creation, launch of new products and numerous 
process improvement initiatives. 

E&A  business  set  up  common  sales  teams  for  Low  & 
Medium  voltage  and  automation  projects  for  identified 
international  territories  broken  into  five  clusters.  During 
FY 2012-13, E&A acquired UK-based Servowatch Limited, 
one of the leading suppliers of advanced integrated ship 
control  systems  for  offering  cutting  edge  technology 
in  control  &  automation  space  not  only  for  marine 
application  but  also  for  other  emerging  segments  like 
Security Surveillance System. 

To  expand  and  strengthen  its  scope  of  offerings,  E&A 
business  acquired  a  leading  Malaysia-based  busduct 
systems  manufacturer,  Henikwon  Corporation  in  July 
2012. 

The year also saw new capacity creation for ramping up 
production of MCCBs (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker) and 
start of U-POWER ACB (Air Circuit Breaker) production by 
opening  a  switchgear  factory  at  Vadodara,  for  modular 
devices  at  Ahmednagar  and  addition  of  new  module 

124

for  LV  Switchgear  at  Coimbatore.  The  Vadodara  facility 
is  supported  by  a  well-equipped  centre  for  research, 
development and engineering of circuit breakers.

The E&A business also made history by implementing for 
the first time in India Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) 
7.01 version for CAD data integration with SAP to speed 
up introduction of new projects.

Another  major  initiative  taken  during  the  year  was 
securing ISO 27001 certification for tightening Information 
Security Systems for BU functions across all manufacturing 
locations. 

The  Precision  Machining  Centre  (PMC)  of  Engineered 
Tooling  Solutions  was  awarded  the  ‘Gold  Certificate  of 
Merit-2012’  in  India  Manufacturing  Excellence  Award 
(IMEA)  instituted  by  Economic  Times  in  association  with 
Frost  &  Sullivan.  PMC  was  also  certified  for  the  tough 
aerospace  standards  AS  9100  Rev.  C  and  is  well  poised 
to  cater  to  global  clients  in  aerospace  markets.  MPS 
participated in the prestigious Indian Merchant Chambers 
Ramakrishna  Bajaj  National  Quality  (IMC-RBNQ)  Award 
and  got  the  commendation  certificate  in  2012  in  the 
manufacturing category. 

Initiatives on spreading a culture of operational excellence 
through ongoing improvement initiatives continued under 
the banner of ‘ELITE’, an acronym for E&A’s Lean Initiative 
Towards  Excellence.  These  were  Lean-5S,  VSM  (Value 
Stream mapping), Value Engineering, Six Sigma, TPM-JH 
(Total  Productive  Maintenance  -JishuHozen)  and  PFMEA 
(Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis).

As in the previous years, the E&A business was successful 
in  achieving  significant  savings  on  account  of  Value 
Engineering (VE) and majority of the projects were focused 
on reduction in material consumption.

Two  initiatives,  started  recently-TPM  for  machines  and 
PFMEA for identifying potential defects in a process and 
addressing  them  well  before  they  surface-have  started 
yielding results. 

MPS business unit embarked on technology up-grade for 
integration of radio modules for facilitating collection of 
data  over  mesh  network  and  development  of  pre-paid 
meter and smart meter. 

A  number  of  new  products/variants  were  launched 
during  the  year  that  comprised  Mpower  GSM  Module 
for  controllers  for  the  agriculture  segment,  Contactors, 
premium  range  of  Miniature  Circuit  Breakers  (EXORA), 

improved  range  of  standard  duty  capacitors  and  new 
protection  relay  (Mcomp).  A  solar  lantern  –  Diva-was 
launched by ESP BU, a cost effective solution for the power 
deficit  areas  of  the  country  and  symbolizing  the  use  of 
clean energy. 

registrations and 2 Copyrights as well as 10 international 
Patent applications including 6 Patent Cooperation Treaty 
(PCT)  and  4  Gulf  Cooperation  Council  (GCC)  Patent 
applications.  This  was  the  6th  consecutive  year  of  filing 
more than 100 patent applications.

The C&A business unit introduced new solutions for solar 
plants. Its i-Visionmax solar package is a cost effective and 
efficient tool that continuously controls and monitors the 
plant thereby resulting in lower downtime and enhanced 
improvement of the plant’s overall profitability. 

E&A’s in-house R&D has design & development capabilities 
for  its  products  and  solutions  that  are  among  the  best 
in  the  industry.  The  in-house  R&D  facilities  located  as 
Powai–Mumbai  ,Ahmednager,  Mysore  and  Coimbatore 
are  approved  by  Department  of  Scientific  &  Industrial 
Research, Ministry of Science & Technology.

The R&D centre networks with international labs, testing 
centres and academic institutions to keep abreast of new 
technology  trends  and  introduce  those  for  customers  in 
different segments. Focused R&D activities have enabled 
ESP  to  have  a  healthy  New  Product  Intensity  (NPI)  index 
of >30%-an index which measures the sales of products 
introduced in the market in last five years to the total sales 
in the financial year. 

During  the  year,  the  E&A  business  filed  159  Patent 
applications,  29  Trademark  applications,  36  Design 

Continuous  efforts  on  IP  creation  and  its  management 
earned  the  E&A  business  the  highest  awards  in  patents 
filing  and  design  registration,  instituted  by  the  Indian 
Patents Office, viz. ‘The Top Indian Private Company (Large 
Scale) in Patents 2012’ and ‘The Top Indian Organisation 
in Designs 2012’ 

Outlook :
It  is  expected  that  business  sentiments  in  2013-14  will 
see an improvement over the current year and, therefore, 
will offer better opportunities. The Government’s focus on 
developing  infrastructure  sector  holds  promise  and  that 
the industry could see investments and good growth. 

There are indications of good growth in certain sectors and 
the retail segment supported largely by Tier II/III cities and 
towns in India. The country will witness higher growth in 
energy efficient products as well as focus on development 
of alternate energy sources would gain ground. Water is 
another segment where investment is foreseen. 

In  projects  business,  EPC  awards  in  major  projects  may 
pick-up during FY 2013-14. Local content /value addition/ 
presence  is  fast  becoming  a  crucial  factor  in  GCC

countries such as Oman and Qatar and also CIS (especially 
Kazakhstan).  Political  uncertainty  will  still  be  a  factor  in 
some countries.

The C&A BU is optimistic about the Terminal Automation 
projects  from  oil  refining  companies  which  are  coming 
up  in  a  phased  manner  –  60  locations  in  next  2  years. 
The meter market is poised for healthy growth. MPS BU 
expects  large  procurements  expected  from  state  utilities 
like Rajasthan, West Bengal, Kerala, UP,  Tamil Nadu and 
Andhra Pradesh.

manufactured by ISCAR Limited, Israel.

Product  Development  Center  (PDC)  of  MIP  business 
based  at  Coimbatore  renders  Engineering  and  Product 
Development support across all the businesses of MIP.

Business Environment :
The Construction and Mining Machinery BU was affected 
as Construction equipment industry shrank by 15% over 
2011-12  largely  on  account  of  the  lower  demand  from 
road  sector  and  general  construction  activities  while 
the  Mining  Equipment  demand  was  affected  by  lack  of 
legislative action and pro-active legal impediments though 
long-term  prospects  remain  bright.  In  last  few  years 
competition in Construction Equipment has increased with 
existing manufacturers adding new capacity and entry of 
new  players  who  have  also  taken  to  aggressive  pricing 
eyeing market share. Consequently, pricing continued to 
remain under pressure.

The year 2012-13 saw several Indian tyre majors postponing 
investments due to sluggish automobile demand. However, 
the Global tyre companies continued their investments in 
India and in other emerging economies such as, South East 
Asia, Brazil, Russia and China. RPM has been successful in 

tapping some of these opportunities from the Global Tyre 
companies and was able to double its order inflow from 
overseas business. 

The  Foundry  Business  Unit  (FBU)  suffered  a  substantial 
decline  during  the  year  2012-13  and  this  coupled  with 
cheaper  imports  of  castings  from  China  resulted  in 
FBU  being  under  great  strain  for  most  part  of  the  year. 
Expected  re-introduction  of  Generation-based  Incentive 
and  consolidation  of  market  amongst  key  players  will 
enhance opportunity for FBU. WTG market is repositioning 
itself  with  multi-megawatt  Units  (against  fractional 
mega-watt units) which require larger size castings. This 
will ideally suit the FBU facility. The forecast appreciation 
of Chinese currency (vis-à-vis INR) and the rising costs in 
China are expected to help Indian suppliers to the WTG 
industry  becoming  more  competitive.  Grid  connectivity 
and  performance  of  State  Electricity  Boards  continue  to 
impact WTG installations. 

In  the  case  of  Industrial  Products  SBG,  Industrial  Valves 
segment continued to face challenging environment. The 
targeted projects in international oil & gas sector were on 
schedule. The Domestic Power Projects have not taken off 
due  to  various  issues  resulting  in  lower  domestic  orders 
and this is reflected in the order inflows being stagnant 
in  the  domestic  segments.  Project  investments  in  North 
America  and  Europe  continue  to  be  sluggish.  Overall 
project  costs  are  coming  down  due  to  competitive  bids 
from  EPCs  in  South  Korea  &  China.  This  has  caused  all 
major EPCs trying to put valve package proposals under 
significant  price  pressures.  In  the  Indian  market,  project 
activity  –  including  in  de-bottlenecking  projects-in 
domestic  oil  &  gas  segment  was  low,  resulting  in  lower 
off-take  from  both  Projects  and  Distributors.  On  power 
sector, this has been a disappointing year with all major 
projects  hitting  road  blocks.  In  addition,  due  to  delays 
in payments, order execution was also delayed by many 
customers resulting in lower sales. Expecting to cater to 
the  once  promising  Power  Industry,  many  international 
valve manufacturers have set up shop in India. With this 
additional  capacity  among  valve  manufacturers  in  India 
the intensity of competition is likely to increase in power 
projects. 

For Welding Product business, the year gone by has been 
a  difficult  and  challenging  one  in  terms  of  the  external 
operating business environment. Poor investment climate 
and  high  interest  rates  resulted  in  weak  sentiments  in 
the Capital goods sector which had direct impact on our 
equipment  business.  Tight  liquidity  conditions  and  low 
economic  activity  affected  sales  of  consumables.  With 

129

continuing rise in prices of fuel, electricity and other input 
costs coupled with additional cost of shifting of operations 
during the year there was pressure on bottomline. 

For INP business, overall, there was lower demand through 
the year 2012-13 from key business segments led by the 
automobile  industry  though  there  was  increased  buying 
from  government  sectors  such  as  railways  and  defence. 
The  rupee  depreciation  in  forex  market  also  affected 
profitability, leading to higher cost of imports. 

All the SBUs in the MIP business have faced challenging 
business environment throughout the year.

Significant Initiatives :
CMB  have  expanded  the  company’s  after-sales  support 
capability  through  long-term  full-maintenance  contracts 
and site support agreements to improve machine uptime 
and capping operating costs. 

RPM  took  several  initiatives  in  terms  of  product  range 
expansion  and  customer  base  expansion  and  service 
offerings,  significant  among  them  is  the  development 
of  high-end  radial  Truck  &  Bus  Tyre  building  machines 
(first  time  in  India),  application  of  specialty  coatings 
on  critical  parts,  PVD  on  special  materials  to  enhance 
life  and  functional  improvements  on  the  machines. 
Introduction of new products helped the unit to manage 
the  downturn  in  the  industry.  Apart  from  newer  sizes 
of  presses,  the  Company  was  also  successful  in  getting 
approvals  of  hydraulic  press  and  Tyre  building  machines 
from a few Global Tyre majors based in Europe and USA, 
which is likely to open up opportunities in the Indian and 
International market in the year 2013-14. RPM successfully 
implemented  Operational  Excellence  (OPEX)  initiatives 
in  the  area  of  Supply  Chain  Management  resulting  in 
appreciable reductions in material cost as well as inventory 
levels apart from creating capacities for critical processes. 
A  certification  program  in  Tyre  Machinery  operation 
and  maintenance  has  been  started  at  the  facility  in 
Kancheepuram  and  has  received  good  reviews  from  the 
couple of batches that have attended the program. This 
certification program is targeted towards engineering and 
maintenance personnel in the Tyre Industry.

FBU established itself as the most preferred source to some 
of its key customers. FBU was awarded TN Government’s 
“GREEN  AWARD”  for  environment  friendly  processes 
amidst  participation  across  industries.  FBU  continues  to 
maintain  the  standards  and  be  a  benchmark  foundry  in 
terms of safety and environment management. FBU also 

130

has  implemented  successfully  a  number  of  initiatives 
aimed at cost reduction during the year.

Valves Business Unit has expanded the approvals from key 
oil  companies  and  Power  customers  in  the  international 
market. International network has been strengthened with 
senior personnel posted in key markets such as the Middle 
East and South Africa. A Global Valves Sales Head has now 
been positioned in Jebel-Ali. Market coverage of domestic 
channel business has been strengthened with a number of 
Market development activities and product promotions.

Valves  Business  unit  has  been  focusing  on  Oil  &  Gas  in 
the international market, both downstream and upstream 
segments. Sustained oil & gas project activity in the Middle 
East and Asia Pacific provided good opportunity for valves. 
Long-term  relationships  with  key  end-users  and  EPCs  in 
these  regions  were  leveraged  to  enhance  our  market 
presence  and  exceed  the  order  inflow  targets  for  the 
year. New products addressing the upstream and tankage 
segments were well received in the international market. 
During the year a beginning was made in the International 
power segment with orders from major Power customers 
for power projects across the globe.

INP  business,  over  the  last  year  successfully  launched 
many new products in drilling, milling and turning in the 
market under ‘High IQ’ theme .These new introductions 
are  expected  to  enhance  the  competitive  position  and 
build market share for the business.

Outlook :
The market demand for Hydraulic Excavators is expected 
to  improve  on  account  of  the  increase  in  spending  in 
the  urban  infrastructure,  roads,  general  construction 
sectors  and  spending  by  the  Government  on  various 
infrastructure projects. Coal Sector will continue to be the 
main demand driver for the Mining Equipment Business. 
The  projected  Gap  between  domestic  coal  demand  and 
supply of around 200 million tonnes during FY 2013-14 
portends  opportunity  subject  to  political  actions  leading 
to investments. CMB is well placed to take advantage of 
these  opportunities  through  supply  of  large  size  Mining 
Equipment both to the public and private coal producing 
companies.  Environmental  &  land  acquisition  issues 
continue to be areas of concern and may cause near team 
difficulties  in  mining  equipment  demands  translating  to

Escalating  cost  of  conventional  energy,  continued 
dependence  on  fuel  imports  and  envisaged  regulations 

on commitment to proportional use of renewable energy, 
makes it attractive for the growth of core segment – Wind 
Turbine  Generators.  A  30%  growth  over  FY  2012-13  in 
terms of MW installation is expected in FY 2013-14. This 
will help FBU position itself as the premium supplier to the 
major WTG players.

of  metal  resources.  The  principal  products  and  services 
comprise  Maintenance  &  Repair  (M&R)  consumables, 
specification  grade  electrodes,  flux-cored  welding  wires, 
wear  plates/parts,  welding  and  cutting  equipment,  Tero 
Cote Lab services etc. In the current year, EWAC completed 
expansion of its facilities at Ankleshwar consolidating all 
its manufacturing operations at one place.

The  year  gone  by  has  been  a  challenging  one  in  terms 
of  the  external  operating  business  environment.  Poor 
investment climate and high interest rates resulted in weak 
sentiments  in  the  capital  goods  sector  which  had  direct 
impact on equipment and consumables business. 

For INP, the growth is expected to resume from second half 
of 2013-14 due to anticipated recovery in automotive and 
exports by key business segments and also better liquidity 
coming from lower interest rates.

However,  EWAC  expects  the  situation  to  improve  in 
the  year  2013-14  and  has  planned  major  initiatives  for 
addressing  export  markets  and  providing  integrated 
solutions to customers in welding and cutting spheres.

Overall, business outlook for 2013-14 continues to remain 
challenging for most businesses of MIP and performance 
improvement  is  expected  with  the  turnaround  in  GDP, 
impetus  in  Infrastructure  investments  and  increased 
government expenditure.

Business Environment :
The  year  2012-13  has  seen  outsourcing  trends  closely 
tied  to  how  the  world  economy  has  rapidly  changed. 
The financial uncertainty being created in some markets 
drove  corporates  to  reposition  themselves  through 
new  transformational  initiatives.  If  the  business  climate 
continues  to  suffer,  companies  will  look  to  outsourcing 
– particularly of non-core functions – as a means to save 
costs. 

On the other hand, if the economy improves and business 
needs increase, outsourcing remains attractive because it 
offers  a  way  for  companies  to  keep  up  with  increased 
demand  and  workflow.  Regardless  of  the  economic 
outcome,  market  expects  cost-cutting  to  remain  a  top 
priority  for  global  companies  for  the  indefinite  future. 
As  a  result,  engineering  services  industry  will  likely  see 
vendor-managed  services  on  the  rise,  as  companies  see 
the  benefits  and  flexibility  of  using  variable  staffing 
models. Large outsourcing providers would create business 
opportunities in emerging economies, which may provide 
more onshore outsourcing options.

Engineering Research & Development (ER&D) outsourcing 
to  India  has  shown  remarkable  growth  from  $8.3Bn  in 
2009 to $15 Bn in 2012. Based on the economic conditions 
in  Americas  and  Europe,  analysts  have  revised  growth 
projections for 2013 to 10% from 16%. 

Mega  trends  impacting  the  outsourcing  industry  are 
convergence of Technologies/Industries : 
• 

Products  and  Solutions  with  multiple  functionalities 
are emerging especially in industries such as Consumer 
Electronics, Medical Devices, Automotive and Mobile 
Devices with cross-industry collaborations

•  Open standards driven innovation
• 

Electronics  and  software  emerging  as  a  key  value 
differentiator

•  Adoption of cloud computing, big data, and software 
driven infrastructure is opening new opportunities for 
cost  savings  and  innovation  across  many  industries 
including  Telecom,  Consumer,  Healthcare,  Utilities 
and Manufacturing

Significant Initiatives : 
IES has taken significant initiatives towards overcoming the 
challenges posed by the market and to grow significantly 
in comparison with its peers.
•  Apart  from  expanding  its  global  footprints,  a  key 
initiative  for  IES  is  focusing  on  global  account 
management
Significant investments in the solutioning space with 
emphasis on setting up Test Labs, Tear down studios 

•

• 

• 

and  onboarding  of  solution  architects  &  domain 
experts  to  build  new  service  offerings  and  industry 
specific solutions that can be taken to the market
To  foster  an  innovative  culture  and  to  ensure 
inclusive  growth,  IES  has  invested  in  setting  up  of 
the  Technology  Solutions  and  Innovation  center 
(TSIC). The Tech Panorama was an output of the TSIC 
which  was  conducted  across  all  of  IES’  locations  to 
encourage employee participation and bring out the 
creativity and innovation within the organization
To  be  best-in-class,  IES  has  embarked  on  a 
journey  of  bringing  in  operational  efficiencies  and 
standardization  and  process  consistency  across  the 
organization. Significant investments have been made 
in this space-the Project Management tool, CRM tool, 
Productivity  improvement  &  financial  systems  are 
some  of  the  initiatives  that  will  be  rolled  out  in  the 
new fiscal year

Majority  of  the  revenue  for  IES  is  dependent  on  North 
America  and  Europe  regions.  The  market  conditions 
prevalent  in  these  regions  have  high  impact  on  the 
business. To minimize this risk as well as to focus on newer 
geographies, IES has increased its business focus on Rest 
of the World (ROW) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets. IES 
is also focusing on farming the current clientele and hiring 
local talent to meet client expectations. 

IES is actively working towards increasing its business share 
through  outcome  based  model  from  Resourcing-based 
models.  It  is  focusing  more  on  Solution-based  customer 
engagement, which helps partner with a customer in his 
NPD  programs.  The  significant  long  term  contracts  won 
during the year are a testimony to these endeavors.

Recruiting people of different skills, domains and experience 
is a major challenge for the ER&D service industry. IES has 
been able to minimize this to some extent by setting up a 

Engineering talent is drawn from India’s premier academic institutes.

vertical oriented recruitment organization and by initiating 
various training and capability development programs to 
fulfill the ever changing customer needs.

Being a service provider to all major industry segments, the 
projects executed by IES are varied in nature and require 
different  kinds  of  project  management  (PM)  techniques. 
In this regard, IES have initiated various training programs 
in collaboration with L&T Institute of Project Management 
and  is  also  in  the  process  of  implementing“PULSE”-a 
Project Management Tool to monitor and control project 
performance parameters.

Outlook :
Global trends in the economy today motivate the people in 
general to invest in businesses which have been growing 
significantly  over  the  years.  Engineering  Services  is  one 
such industry. IES added 40 new clients during the year 
and has been serving 35 fortune 500 companies. With the 
initiatives taken in 2012-13, actions planned in the next 
year and addition of new geographies, IES is confident of 
achieving impressive growth in 2013-14.

International revenue at 
 12198 crore doubled during the 
year 2012-13 over that of the previous year. The international 
revenue is mainly contributed by execution of airport, other 
infrastructure development projects, Oil & Gas EPC contracts 
in  GCC  countries  and  by  growth  in  revenue  of  Integrated 
Engineering Services.

Financial Review 2012-13

I.  GROWTH AMIDST CHALLENGES

A.  L&T STANDALONE

Braving challenging business conditions, the Company has 
registered impressive increase in order inflow, growth in the 
revenue and closed the year 2012-13 with strong order book 
and healthy balance sheet.

The  Company  successfully  secured  new  orders  worth 
 88035 crore during the year 2012-13, registering a robust 
growth of 24.7% over the previous year. The order intake 
was  notable  against  the  backdrop  of  subdued  investment 
climate,  lower  GDP  growth  and  delays  in  policy  decisions 
in  India.  Buildings  and  Factories,  Power  Transmission  & 
Distribution,  Transportation  Infrastructure  and  Power  EPC 
businesses  contributed  significantly  to  the  order  inflows 
during  the  year.  Despite  global  uncertainties  and  stiff 
competition, the Company recorded a growth of 18% in the 
international  order  inflow  over  2011-12  aided  by  focused 
efforts to develop the international markets for its offerings.

The  Company  relies  on  its  good  execution  capabilities  to 
achieve revenue growth.

Operating Cost

Manufacturing,  Construction  and  Operating  expenses  at 
  47952  crore  for  the  year  2012-13  increased  by  17%.
These  expenses  mainly  comprise  cost  of  construction  & 
other materials and subcontracting expenses. As compared 
to the previous year, these costs have increased, reflecting 
inflationary pressures and the mix of jobs under execution 
during the year 2012-13.

The Order Book as at the year end stood at   153604 crore 
providing  revenue  visibility  for  the  next  few  years.  49% 
of  the  order  book  represents  orders  received  from  the 
infrastructure sector.

Revenue from Operations

Gross revenue for the year 2012-13 at   61471 crore grew 
by  14.4%  over  the  previous  year.  Certain  businesses  viz. 
Buildings and Factories, Transportation Infrastructure, Water 
and Solar projects registered good increase in the revenue on 
the back of healthy order pipeline. The sales of the product 
businesses,  however,  were  impacted  due  to  low  industrial 
demand.

136

The  Staff  Expenses  for  the  year  2012-13  at 
  4436  crore 
increased by 21% as compared to the previous year. There 
was  a  net  addition  of  5338  employees  during  the  year, 
taking  the  Company’s  manpower  strength  to  54092  as  at 
March 31, 2013.

Sales  and  administration  expenses  for  2012-13  at 
 2077 crore decreased to 3.4% of net sales revenue due 
to reversal of warranty/receivables provisions on successful 
close out of jobs and recovery of dues.

Depreciation & Amortisation charge
Depreciation and amortisation charge for the year 2012-13 
at 
  818  crore  increased  by  17%  over  the  previous  year. 
Increase in the depreciation charge for the year reflects the 
impact  of  the  depreciation  on  the  additions  made  to  the 
fixed assets.

Other Income
Other income for the year 2012-13 amounted to   1851 crore 
as  against 
  1338  crore  for  the  previous  year.  It  includes 
profit of 
 219 crore on sale of certain surplus properties. 
Dividends from Group companies during the year 2012-13 
amounted to   585 crore. The short term investments made 
in low risk securities yielded income at 
 575 crore for the 
year.

The Company as a part of its portfolio management, divested 
its stake in L&T Plastics Machinery Limited at an exceptional 
gain  of 
  214  crore.  The  Company  paid  compensation  to 
employees pursuant to Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) 
amounting to   38 crore. The exceptional gains, net of VRS 
expenses  and  on  post-tax  basis,  amounted  to 
  144  crore 
for the year 2012-13.

Finance cost
 982 crore 
The interest expenses for the year 2012-13 at 
were higher vis-à-vis 
 666 crore for the previous year. The 
increase is due to higher average borrowing incurred by the 
Company for financing the capex/working capital needs and 
investments in the Group companies. The loan portfolio of 
the  Company  comprises  a  blend  of  domestic  and  suitably 
hedged foreign currency loans. The average borrowing cost 
for the year 2012-13 was at 8.8% p.a., despite the elevated 
interest rate scenario and tight liquidity conditions.

Profit after tax and EPS
Besides exceptional gains (net of tax) of   144 crore earned 
during the year, the Company also earned an extraordinary 
gain  (net  of  tax)  of 
  72  crore.  The  said  gain  represents 
reversal of provision made for the diminution in the value of 
investment in Satyam Computer Services Limited and gain 
of   19 crore on sale of Medical business.

over the previous year. Overall PAT including extraordinary 
and exceptional items, for the year was   4911 crore vis-à-vis 
  4457  crore  for  the  year  2011-12,  recording  an  increase 

of 10.2%.

The  Earnings  per  Share  (EPS)  including  exceptional  and 
extraordinary items, for the year 2012-13 at   79.99 showed 
an improvement of 9.7% over the previous year.

Funds Employed and Returns

The overall Funds Employed by the Company at   38219 crore 
as at March 31, 2013 increased by   2967 crore as compared 
to the year end position as on March 31, 2012.

  1505  crore  towards  capital 
The  Company  incurred 
expenditure  during  the  year.  The  major  expenditure  was 
incurred on acquisition of various plant and equipment for 
the businesses in Engineering and Construction segment.

Gross  Working  capital  as  at  March  31,  2013  was 
 43422 crore, representing 70.6% of sales vis-à-vis 72.9% 
for  the  previous  year.  Net  customer  receivables  as  at  the 
end  of  the  year  stood  at 
  22613  crore,  which  include 
 15532 crore of receivables contractually not yet due as on 
March  31,  2013.  The  balance  customer  receivables  which 
were  contractually  due  as  on  March  31,  2013  at  42  days’ 
sales have decreased by 1 day’s sales over the previous year.

Net Working capital as at March 31, 2013 at   10255 crore, 
however, increased to 16.7% of sales due to relatively lower 
advances from customers.

During  the  year,  investments  and  loans  to  subsidiary  and 
associate  companies  increased  by 
  1593  crore.  Major 
investments  have  been  made  in  Power  Development, 
Shipbuilding, Machinery and Industrial Products and Realty 
business.

Excluding  extraordinary  and  exceptional  items,  the  Profit 
after Tax (PAT) at 
 4695 crore recorded a growth of 6.4% 

Balance  sheet  lightening  and  divestment  of  non-core 
businesses are among the key focus areas. During the year 

137

2012-13, the Company has carried out certain divestments 
at remunerative prices with a view to free up the resources 
to  meet  the  increasing  requirement  of  funds  for  core  as 
well as emerging businesses. Major divestitures during the 
year 2012-13 comprise sale of Medical Equipment business, 
divestment from Plastics Machinery business, sale of certain 
surplus properties and exit from its investment in the Satyam 
Computer Services Limited.

Return  on  Net  Worth  (RONW)  including  the  gains  on 
divestitures  for  the  year  2012-13  is  at  17.3%  as  against 
18.8%  for  the  previous  year.  Return  on  Capital  Employed 
(ROCE) for the year 2012-13 is at 14.6% as against 15.1% 
for the previous year. The relative reduction in the return on 
net worth is attributable to the investments through Group 
companies  in  the  emerging  businesses  and  expansion  of 
facilities that are yet to start yielding returns.

Economic  Value  Added  (EVA)  from  normal  operations 
for  the  year  2012-13  is  at 
  219  crore.  Increase  in  funds 
employed, contraction of margins and higher funding cost 
have contributed to a reduction in the EVA for 2012-13 as 
compared to the previous year.

Liquidity & Gearing

Tight liquidity position prevailed through the year 2012-13 
increasing pressure on the funds employed. The Company 
strived to achieve the balance between generation of funds 
at economical rates and their deployment for meeting the 
increasing business requirements.

Cash  accruals  from  the  operations  were  higher  at 
 2115 crore as compared to the previous year mainly due 
to tight working capital management. Proceeds from sale of 
short  term  investments,  divestitures,  dividend  and  interest 
income aided cash generation during the year 2012-13.

Apart from deployment of cash for capital expenditure and 
investments in the Group companies, the Company repaid 
some  of  its  long  term  loans  amounting  to 
  2300  crore 

138

during the year 2012-13. Consequently, there was net cash 
outflow of   411 crore for the year 2012-13.

debt equity ratio of 0.07:1 as at March 31, 2013.

B.  L&T GROUP PERFORMANCE

As  at  March  31,  2013,  L&T  Group  consists  of  139 
subsidiaries, 14 associates and 14 joint venture companies. 
Apart from extension of the Company’s core businesses in 
the group companies, certain businesses such as Information 
Technology,  Financial  Services  and  Developmental  Projects 
form  part  of  the  Group  through  investments  in  subsidiary 
and associate (S&A) companies.

The Group Revenue at   75195 crore for the year 2012-13 
registered a growth of 15.8% over the previous year. S&A 
companies  operating  in  Financial  Services,  Information 
Technology, Hydrocarbon, Electrical & Electronics businesses 
have registered a healthy growth during the year 2012-13.

The  state  of  the  art  heavy  forgings  facilities  at  Hazira  in 
Gujarat, ship yard & port facilities in Kattupalli, Tamil Nadu 
were  successfully  commissioned  during  the  year  2012-13. 
The construction work of major developmental projects viz. 
Thermal  Power  Development  plant  at  Rajpura  in  Punjab, 
Seawoods  project  in  Navi  Mumbai,  Hyderabad  Metro  Rail 
project at Hyderabad progressed during the year.

The Group exited from two loss making ventures in China 
and divested from certain real estate projects during the year 
2012-13. The Group also divested its stake in Federal Bank 
Limited during the year.

The Company has changed its accounting policy on goodwill 
on  consolidation  for  more  appropriate  presentation  of 
financial statements. As per the revised accounting policy, 
the goodwill will not be amortised but the same will be tested 
for impairment. Pursuant to the aforesaid policy change, the 
consolidated PAT for 2012-13 is higher by   526 crore.

The overall Group Profit after tax at   5206 crore for 2012-13 
registered a y-o-y increase of 10.9%. The Financial Services 
and  Infotech  businesses  contributed  significantly  to  the 
increase in the consolidated PAT.

The  investments  in  the  road  concessions  forming  part  of 
developmental  project  business  are  incurring  book  losses, 
as  the  newly  commissioned  projects  are  yet  to  reach  the 
optimum traffic levels. Moreover, the newly commissioned 
forgings  facilities,  ship  yard  and  port  with  lower  initial 
business  volume  but  higher  interest  and  depreciation 
charge,have adversely impacted the PAT at the Group level.

The  Earnings  per  Share  (EPS)  including  exceptional  and 
extraordinary items for the year 2012-13 at   84.79 showed 
an improvement of 10.4% over the previous year.

C.  SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE
1.  Engineering & Construction Segment (E&C)
1.1. L&T Standalone:

Order  inflow  of  the  segment  during  the  year  at 
  79766  crore  registered  a  healthy  growth  of  25% 
over the previous year. Orders were mainly procured by 
Buildings  &  Factories,  Transportation  and  Heavy  Civil 
Infrastructure, and Power businesses.

The  segment  revenue  for  the  year  at 
  54501  crore 
grew by 15% over the previous year, mainly driven by 
Buildings & Factories and Transportation Infrastructure 
businesses. This revenue growth was achieved despite 
of delays in obtaining clearances in a few projects under 
execution. International sales revenue during 2012-13 
at   10124 crore doubled as compared to   4826 crore 
for  2011-12  propelled  by  execution  progress  on 
Hydrocarbon, Airport and Infrastructure jobs.

139

 
 
The  composition  of  jobs  under  execution  during 
2012-13  was  dominated  by  international  jobs  with 
relatively lower margins. The slow progress on certain 
jobs especially in the power, minerals & metals sectors 
impacted  margins.  The  segment  recorded  EBITDA 
margin of 11.5% for 2012-13 vis-a-vis 12.7% earned 
in the previous year.

1.2. L&T Group:

Group  level  order  inflows  in  the  E&C  segment  grew 
by  20.4%  to 
  83484  crore  for  the  year  ended

II.  RISK MANAGEMENT

The  Company’s  primary  activity  of  engineering  and 
construction business has a lot of uncertainty and associated 
risks and opportunities. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) 
is an important function for sustainability of the Company’s 
businesses.  The  ability  to  anticipate  risks  and  respond 
effectively is critical for achieving the Company’s objectives 
and  provide  value  to  stakeholders.  The  slowdown  in  the 
economy has impacted the overall business prospects. The 
Company has been doing its part to improve the efficiency 
by  undertaking  quality  jobs,  reducing  costs,  improving 
productivity and managing the risks better.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Increased competition for available opportunities in domestic 
markets has steered the Company to explore opportunities 
globally with focus on markets in the Middle East, South-East 
Asia,  Africa  and  CIS  countries.  With  this,  the  overall  risk 
universe  of  the  organisation  has  expanded.  Country  risk 
and client risk are the key risks to be evaluated in addition 
to execution challenges, political and local issues, changing 
regulatory  laws,  taxation  and  economic  conditions  of  the 
country. The commercial terms are important for managing 
risks relating to the cash flow and performance liability.

All  projects  undergo  a  well-structured  pre-bid  risk  review 
process  by  risk  management  committee  at  business  and 
corporate  level  with  well-defined  authorisation  levels. 
The  process  involves  a  detailed  assessment  of  risks  and 
deliberation on mitigation measures by the risk management 
committee. In case of first time entry to a new country or 
geography,  a  country  clearance  process  is  carried  out  by 
evaluating the risks and opportunities. The Company strongly 
believes  in  ensuring  certainty  of  the  project  outcome  and 
follows a system of on-going projects risk review at regular 
intervals.  Suitable  strategies  are  discussed  to  mitigate  the 
changing complexion of active risks and periodical execution 
risk reviews continue till the completion of the project.

International large value projects are mainly characterised by 
technological challenges, interface and logistics issues, claims 
management,  resource  mobilisation  and  EHS  compliance 
amongst  others.  The  large  size  of  the  project,  execution 
complexities,  new  technology,  new  geography  at  times 
make  it  necessary  to  bid  in  consortium  with  one  or  more 
partners on technology or construction front. The challenge 
of selecting a suitable partner for seamless execution needs 
due  consideration  on  scope  clarity,  financial  strength, 
commercial  arrangement  regarding  non-performance  or 
delay,  revenue  and  profit  sharing  mechanism,  liability 
sharing, legal & dispute settlement.

On the domestic front, the Company is executing large power 
projects  in  which  apart  from  technological  challenges  and 
tight delivery schedules, other important risk factors include 
client creditworthiness, financial closure, fuel linkage, power 
availability and environment clearances. Similarly, some of 
the  critical  risk  factors  in  infrastructure  and  construction 
projects  are  land  availability,  various  statutory  and  local 
body approvals and redressal mechanism on default of client 
obligations.  The  on-going  slowdown  witnessed  over  last 
one year in domestic economy and the challenging liquidity 
conditions, the Company has made suitable progress in the 
area of improving the receivables management. The global 
slump and unfavourable Government policies have impacted 
the performance of a few subsidiaries operating in areas of 
nuclear, forging and shipbuilding. The Company is actively 
engaging  with  its  subsidiaries  to  address  these  concerns. 
While  on  one  side  the  economic  slowdown  and  severe 

competition has put pressure on margins, the ERM strategy 
of structured risk review process and the culture built over 
the years has helped in effective management of all risks and 
creation of value for the organisation.

The  risk  management  process  also  addresses  long  term 
strategic  and  operational  planning,  talent  acquisition 
and  retention,  treasury  management,  financial  reporting 
and  controls,  information  technology  and  security, 
environment health and safety compliance, legal, taxation, 
communication, regulatory compliance and code of conduct 
for employees. The Company believes that risk is an integral 
part  of  every  business  and  promotes  a  culture  of  building 
ability  to  anticipate  and  manage  the  risks  effectively  and 
converting them into opportunities.

The Company’s risk management practices ensure that the 
Company accepts risks within defined parameters for which 
it is adequately compensated and thereby managing the risk 
portfolio of the organisation. The Audit Committee of the 
Board  oversees  the  effectiveness  of  the  risk  management 
process.  Every  independent  business  segment  has  its  risk 
management policy and procedure within the overall ERM 
framework  of  the  Company.  The  process  followed  by  the 
Company  is  in  compliance  with  the  International  Risk 
Management  Standard  ISO  31000:2009.  The  Company 
is  also  a  member  of  the  Engineering  &  Construction  Risk 
Institute (ECRI), USA and actively participates in training and 
knowledge sharing.

Internal Controls

The  Company  believes  that  a  strong  internal  control 
mechanism is an important pillar of Corporate Governance. 
It has established internal control mechanism commensurate 
with  the  size  and  complexity  of  its  business.  Changing 
business  structure  and  increased  focus  on  international 
operations  require  continuous  review  of  internal  control 
efficacy in all business segments of the Company

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.  The  Company  regularly  issues  accounting 
guidelines  to  ensure  uniformity  and  reliability  of  financial 
statements  and  also  has  financial  authorisation  guidelines 
covering  purchasing,  selling,  authorising  of  expenses,  etc. 
which  is  followed  throughout  the  Company.  Individual 
businesses of the Company have well documented standard 
operating  procedures  (SOPs)  for  various  processes  which 
they review from time to time for any changes required due 
to change in business needs.

The  Company  has  an  internal  audit  department  staffed 
adequately  with  qualified  professionals  in  both  technical 
and  financial  field.  The  department  conducts  audit  of  all 

143

units  of  the  Company  and  its  major  S&A  companies  at 
regular  intervals.  Based  on  observations  of  internal  audit 
department, respective process owners carry out necessary 
process/system improvements and thereby strengthen overall 
control mechanism. All significant observations and corrective 
actions taken are reviewed by the Management and Audit 
Committee  of  the  Board.  There  is  also  an  internal  control 
department in the Company which helps in formulation of 
internal control policy and guidelines for areas of weakness 
identified during internal audit or by process owners or by 
management.

Apart from the internal mechanism to review and monitor 
internal  controls,  the  Company  also  periodically  engages 
independent  professional  firms  to  carry  out  review  of  the 
effectiveness of various control processes in businesses and 
support  functions.  Their  observations  and  suggestions  on 
good  practices  are  reviewed  by  the  Management  and  the 
Audit  Committee  of  the  Board  for  implementation  and 
strengthening of the controls.

III.  FINANCIAL RISKS

1.  Capital Structure, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risks
The  Company  continues  its  policy  of  maintaining  a 
conservative  capital  structure  which  has  ensured  that 
it  retains  the  highest  credit  rating  amidst  an  adverse 
economic  environment.  Low  gearing  levels  also  equip 
the  Company  with  the  ability  to  navigate  business 
stresses on one hand and raise growth capital on the 
other. This policy also provides flexibility of fund-raising 
options for future, which is especially important in times 
of global economic volatility.

The  Company  holds  necessary  levels  of  liquidity, 
judiciously  deployed  in  short  term  investments  in  line 
with  the  corporate  treasury  policy.  The  Company 
constantly assesses liquidity levels in view of business, 
economic and capital market conditions and maintains 
access  to  the  lowest  cost  means  of  sourcing  liquidity 
including  banking  lines,  trade  finance  and  capital 
markets.

The  Company  dynamically  manages  interest  rate  risks 
through  a  mix  of  fund-raising  products,  investment 
products  and  derivative  products  across  maturity 
profiles and currencies within a robust risk management 
framework.

2.  Foreign Exchange and Commodity Price Risks

The various businesses of the Company are exposed to 
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and commodity 
prices. Additionally, it has exposures to foreign currency 
denominated financial assets and liabilities.

managed contractually by inclusion of price pass through 
or  variations  clauses,  the  Company’s  loan  portfolio  is 
managed  by  an  appropriate  choice  of  loan  currency 
and also by contracting appropriate treasury products, 
with  a  view  to  balancing  risks  and  at  the  same  time 
optimising  the  borrowing  costs.  Hedging  actions  are 
carried out under the framework of a Board approved 
Risk Management Policy. Financial risks in each business 
portfolio  are  measured  and  managed  centrally  within 
the Company. 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.  INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The  Company  views  Information  Technology  (IT)  as  a  key 
enabler for efficiency and providing competitive advantage. 
IT  is  accordingly  managed  through  a  robust  governance 
process  that  covers  value  delivery,  cost  optimisation, 
technology management, support and education.

The Information Technology systems in the Company form 
the backbone for carrying out all the business processes, for 
communication, collaboration and for providing information 
for effective decision making, monitoring and management 
control.

The  Information  Systems  at  Company,  implemented  over 
many  years  are  maintained  systematically  to  enhance 
capability with new features and also to remain current on 
technology  with  upgrades.  These  systems  are  improving 
productivity  and  efficiency  of  all  our  operations.  Over  the 
years, the newer systems help us to connect with customers, 
provide  better  products  and  services  and  enable  better 
execution of large projects.

The Information Technology initiatives completed during the 
year  2012-13  have  been  a  healthy  mix  of  introduction  of 
new technology, extending technology applications to new 
areas and businesses and maintenance and enhancements 
of existing systems.

Mobile  technology  has  been  implemented  for  a  number 
of applications. One of them was for the Company Board. 
An Application on iPad now enables all board papers to be 
made securely available on the iPads of all the directors with 
features for directors to make annotations before and during 
the  meetings.  The  Board  has  thus  become  paperless  and 
the board members have access to the required information 
while they are on the move thus increasing their efficiency. 
The  Secretarial  Department’s  efficiency  has  also  been 
increased because the processes of printing, compiling and 
couriering the papers have been eliminated.

  While  the  business  related  financial  risks,especially 
involving commodity prices are to a reasonable extent, 

To improve efficiencies in procurement of material and services 
and  to  enable  access  to  new  suppliers  and  new  markets, 

144

 
 
 
 
an  advanced  sourcing  system  has  been  implemented  and 
integrated with the ERP and is proving to be very beneficial.

A state of the art Project Management Center system has 
been  established  that  brings  together  project  completion 
information,  a  live  visual  status  and  communication  with 
project  team  all  in  a  single  instance  to  facilitate  better 
monitoring and review of projects by senior management.

On the manufacturing side, a Product Lifecycle Management 
system  has  been  implemented  to  facilitate  new  product 
introduction and to tighten the integration between design, 
procurement and manufacturing processes.

An  innovation  portal  was  launched  to  spur  innovation, 
tracking  ideas  from  generation  through  the  funnel  to 
fruition. Solutions for increased collaboration and knowledge 
management  are  finding  more  traction  with  users.  The 
popularity of our eLearning solutions is increasing with more 
users using the courses thereat.

While every business has been equipped with an ERP solution, 
the year saw many enhancements, standardisations, roll outs 
of the ERPs to overseas and new locations thereby enabling 
seamless  workflows  between  national  and  international 
sites.

IT  Infrastructure  is  being  continuously  enhanced  and 
improved with the commissioning of a new data center, new 
computer and storage solutions, increased bandwidth, video 
conferencing and telepresence systems for communications.

IT  Risk  Management  is  addressed  holistically  covering  all 
aspects  of  Information  Security  and  Business  Continuity 
Planning. Many of the IT centers have been certified under 
the ISO 27001 standard after due implementation of all the 
processes.

V.   CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The sustainability journey of the Company has been rewarding 
with recognition at the national as well as global levels. The 
Company was ranked as the 4th Greenest Company in the 
industrial segment in the World by Newsweek Magazine. The 
Company has also been included in Dow-Jones Sustainability 
Index – 2012 (emerging markets) and ranked as the sector 
leader in construction & material section.

Social responsibility at the Company is born out of heightened 
social  consciousness.  The  Company  and  the  individual 
L&T-ite have always considered themselves as integral parts 
of the larger social mosaic. The Company identifies growing 
aspirations  of  communities,  eagerly  participates  in  the 
collaborative quest for answers to society’s myriad problems 
and ensures that its actions and operations do not impinge 
on the collective good.

responsibility’  entered  the  public  lexicon.  The  Company 
disclosed environmental, social and economic performance 
based on GRI framework in 2008, and since then have been 
publishing  the  Sustainability  Report  on  an  annual  basis. 
A  robust  sustainability  structure,  commitment  from  top 
management and innovation at the core gives strength to 
sustainability  reporting.  All  sustainability  reports  are  ‘GRI 
Checked Application Level A+’ signifying the highest levels 
of disclosures.

After successful completion of first short term sustainability 
targets  (2009-12),  the  Company  released  its  Sustainability 
Roadmap for the period 2012-15. The roadmap emphasises 
on energy conservation & GHG mitigation through innovation, 
inducting  a  ‘safety  culture’  and  actively  propagating  the 
concepts of water conservation, material management and 
enhancing the health index of the organisation.

The Company believes that focused activities will lead to a 
sustained  impact.  The  Company  has  therefore  enunciated 
three distinct ‘Thrust Areas’. These are:

 Mother & child





Education

Skill building

Company’s strategies are in harmony with National Action 
Plan on Climate Change released by Government of India. 
Some  of  the  highlights  from  the  Company’s  sustainability 
journey  are  carbon  sequestration  study  at  key  campuses, 
large scale tree plantation across manufacturing units and 
project  locations,  increasing  energy  conservation  by  more 
than  15%  y-o-y  and  developing  a  talent  pool  of  energy 
auditors.  L&T’s  green  product  portfolio  identified  from 
existing businesses helps customers to reduce their carbon 
footprint  during  the  operations  and  help  them  to  move 
towards low carbon growth economy.

Company’s water conservation initiatives are not only limited 
to reducing water consumption at its manufacturing units 
but  also  creating  alternative  water  source  to  communities 
by  creating  water  bodies  (check  dams)  in  tribal  areas.  In 
addition  to  18  campuses  which  became  ‘Zero  wastewater 
discharge units’, the Company’s Powai Campus at Mumbai 
achieved  water  neutral  status.  L&T  Public  Charitable  Trust 
completed construction of the 100th check dam in the tribal 
belt of Talasari in Thane district, Maharashtra.

The  Company  responds  positively  to  emerging  societal 
expectations and helps to catalyse the harmonised growth of 
society. Programs undertaken have grown in terms of reach 
across  Company’s  locations  and  affirmative  progress  has 
been made by strengthening the interventions in education, 
health and skill building.

There has been no radical change in the way the Company 
expresses the social concern after the concept of ‘mandated 

Many  seemingly  complex  social  problems  have  down-to-
earth solutions - but these solutions need to be found, and 

145

then implemented. The Company stepped in by augmenting 
sanitation facilities in schools. It was the first step in a chain 
reaction to improve education standards and reduce gender 
disparity. More girl children have chosen to continue their 
studies and education has received a boost.

The  spread  of  Company’s  community  health  care  centers 
was further widened with the addition of two new health 
centers at Chennai and Coimbatore. Several health camps 
and  outreach  programs  were  carried  out  in  locations  and 
project sites across India in collaboration with local NGO’s 
and hospitals, benefitting larger sections of society.

The skill building activities for rural and urban youth under 
the Construction Skills Training Institutes covers 8 locations 

and reach out to an increasing number of beneficiaries. The 
model is being further scaled-up through partnerships with 
ITI’s and NGO’s to extend training closer to rural population. 
Other  initiatives  taken  up  include  vocational  training  for 
computer  education,  beautician  and  nursing  assistant 
courses.  Training  is  also  provided  to  empower  self-help 
groups  of  underprivileged  women  for  income  generation 
opportunities.

Through  Working  on  Wellness  (WoW)  initiatives,  the 
Company  is  working  towards  enhancing  the  employee 
well-being  by  conducting  programs  such  as  power  yoga, 
stress management, health talks and preventive health care.

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 funds. 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 Q(8)(ii)(f)(7).

The Company expects to fund 
(previous year:   84.45 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2013-14.

 51.53 crore (previous year:   48.56 crore) towards its gratuity plan and

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.

A  one  percentage  point  change  in  assumed  healthcare  cost  trend  rates  would  have  the  following  effects  on  the

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

NOTE [Q] (contd.)

risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognised as expense or income in the period in which such 
loss/gain occurs. Further, the provision of   18.68 crore, which was created in 2011-12 based on actuarial valuation 
towards the future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the plan, has been reversed in 
the current year, because the balance in surplus account of the fund is higher than the interest obligation of   10.81 
crore as on March 31, 2013.

Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.  Basis of accounting

The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following the historical cost convention [except for the revaluation of certain fixed 
assets], in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles [“GAAP”] 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 recognised 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 recognised 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  recognised  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 which are in substance similar to delivery of goods is recognised 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.

Revenue from those property development activities [Note no.Q23(b)] which have the same economic substance as that 
of a construction contract is recognised based on the ‘Percentage of Completion method’ (POC) when the outcome 
of a real estate project can be estimated reliably upon fulfillment of all the following conditions:

a.  All critical approvals necessary for commencement of the project have been obtained;

b.  When the stage of completion of the project reaches a reasonable level of development i.e. contract costs for 
work performed bears a reasonable proportion to the estimated total contract costs. For this purpose, a reasonable 
level of development is treated as achieved only if the cost incurred (excluding cost of land/developmental rights 
and borrowing cost) is atleast 25% of the total of such cost;

c. 

 Atleast 25% of the saleable project area is secured by contracts or agreements with buyers;

d.  Atleast 10 % of the total revenue as per the agreements of sale or any other legally enforceable documents are 
realised at the reporting date in respect of each of the contracts and it is reasonable to expect that the parties 
to such contracts will comply with the payment terms as defined in the contracts.

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

The costs incurred on property development activities are carried as “inventories” till such time the outcome of the 
project cannot be estimated reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled. When the outcome of the project 
can be ascertained reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled, revenue from property development activity 
is  recognized  at  cost  incurred  plus  proportionate  margin,  using  percentage  of  completion  method.  Percentage  of 
completion is determined based on the proportion of actual cost incurred to the total estimated cost of the project. 
For this purpose, actual cost includes cost of land and developmental rights but excludes borrowing cost.

Expected loss, if any, on the project is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is foreseen, irrespective of 
the stage of completion of the contract.

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

equipment is recognised 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 recognised 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.

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. 

Revenue  from  contracts  for  the  rendering  of  services  which  are  directly  related  to  the  construction  of  an  asset  is 
recognised on similar basis as stated in (iv) above.

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

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

viii.  Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of the contract are fulfilled.

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

x. 

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 recognised when 
the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

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

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. 

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale

ii. 

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. 

v. 

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

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

vi.  The Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development reliably

The development expenditure capitalised as intangible asset is amortised over its useful life.

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

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.

213

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

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.

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.

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.

c. 

d. 

7.  Tangible Fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative 
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.)

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.

Lease rentals in respect of assets acquired under leases are charged to 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.

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. 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

a.  Owned assets

i. 

Revalued assets:

Depreciation is provided on straight line method on the values and at the rates given by the valuers. The difference between 
depreciation provided on revalued amount and on historical cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to Statement of 
Profit and Loss.

ii.  Assets carried at historical cost:

Depreciation on assets carried at historical cost is provided on the written down value basis on assets acquired up to March 
31, 1968 (at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956) and on straight line 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,

deductions. Extra shift depreciation is provided on a location basis.

iv.  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.

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 method over the lease term. Where there is reasonable 
certainty that the Company shall obtain ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, such assets are depreciated 
at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 or at the higher rates adopted by the Company 
for similar assets.

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 amortisation

Intangible  assets  are  stated  at  original  cost  net  of  tax/duty  credits  availed,  if  any,  less  accumulated  amortisation  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. 

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.

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.  Investment:

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 realisable 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.

Purchase and sale of investments are recognised based on the trade date accounting.

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

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.  Completed property/Work-in-progress (including land) in respect of property development activity at lower of cost or net realisable 

value

14.  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.

15.  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. 

Expenses incurred on issue of shares

ii. 

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

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

16.  Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs include interest, commitment charges, amortisation of ancillary costs, amortisation 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.

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 
over the vesting period.

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

a. 

The reporting currency of the Company is Indian rupee.

b. 

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 up to 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. 

e. 

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.

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 ICAI dated March 29, 2008 on accounting of derivatives. In addition, the 
derivative arrangements embedded in the contracts entered in the course of business are accounted separately if the economic 
characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to economic characteristics and risks of the host 
contract [Note Q23(a)].

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.

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

Accordingly, the resultant gains or losses on fair valuation/settlement of the derivative contracts (including embedded derivatives)
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. 

iii. 

iv. 

v. 

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

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

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

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.

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.

21.  Accounting for interests in Joint Ventures

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. 

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

b. 

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

c. 

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

b. 

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

c. 

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:

24.  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 realisation 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Larsen & Toubro Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Larsen & Toubro Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries, 
associates and joint ventures (“the L&T Group”) which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2013, and the consolidated 
statement of profit and loss and consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting 
policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated 
financial  position,  consolidated  financial  performance  and  consolidated  cash  flows  of  the  Company  in  accordance  with  accounting 
principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant 
to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in 
accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we 
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial 
statements are free from material misstatement.

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement 
of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal 
control relevant to the Company’s preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view 
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the 
reports of the other auditors on the financial statements of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures as noted below, the consolidated 
financial statements 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, 2013;

b) 

in the case of the consolidated statement of profit and loss, of the profit of the L&T Group for the year ended on that date; and

c) 

in the case of the consolidated cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the L&T Group for the year ended on that date.

Other matters

In respect of the financial statements of a subsidiary, we carried out the audit jointly with other auditor. The details of assets, revenues and 
net cash flows 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 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, revenues and net cash flows in respect of these subsidiaries and joint ventures and the net carrying cost of investment

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, 2013, 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, revenues and net cash flows in respect of these subsidiaries and joint ventures and the net carrying cost of investment 
and current year/period share of net profit in respect of these associates, to the extent to which they are reflected in the consolidated 
financial statements are given below:

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 Q(10)(ii)(f)(7)].
The Company expects to fund   59.65 crore (previous year:   64.51 crore) towards its gratuity plan and   146.47 crore 
(previous year:   114.42 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2013-14.
Employer’s and employees’ contribution (net) for March is paid in April.

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 
recognised 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 recognised as expense or income in the period in which such 
loss/gain occurs. Further, the provision of   20.61 crore, which was created in 2011-12 based on actuarial valuation 
towards the future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the plan, has been reversed in 
the current year, because the balance in surplus account of the fund is higher than the interest obligation of   11.50 
crore as on March 31, 2013.

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.  Basis of accounting

The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following the historical cost convention [except for the revaluation of certain fixed 
assets], in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles [“GAAP”] 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 recognised in the period in which the results are 
known.

The accounts of Indian subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates have been prepared in compliance with the Accounting Standards 
as 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.

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 decimal places.

3.  Revenue recognition

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

A.  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  recognised  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 which are in substance similar to delivery of goods, is recognised 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.

Revenue  from  those  property  development  activities  [Note  Q(24)(b)]  which  have  the  same  economic  substance  as 
construction contract is recognised based on the ‘Percentage of Completion method’ (POC) when the outcome of a 
real estate project can be estimated reliably upon fulfillment of all the following conditions:

a.  All critical approvals necessary for commencement of the project have been obtained;

b.  When the stage of completion of the project reaches a reasonable level of development i.e. contract costs for 
work performed bears a reasonable proportion to the estimated total contract costs. For this purpose, a reasonable 
level of development is treated as achieved only if the cost incurred (excluding cost of land/developmental rights 
and borrowing cost) is at least 25% of the total of such cost;

277

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

c.  At least 25% of the saleable project area is secured by contracts or agreements with buyers;

d.  At least 10% of the total revenue as per the agreements of sale or any other legally enforceable documents are 
realised at the reporting date in respect of each of the contracts and it is reasonable to expect that the parties 
to such contracts will comply with the payment terms as defined in the contracts.

The costs incurred on property development activities are carried as “inventories” till such time the outcome of the 
project cannot be estimated reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled. When the outcome of the project 
can be ascertained reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled, revenue from property development activity 
is  recognised  at  cost  incurred  plus  proportionate  margin,  using  percentage  of  completion  method.  Percentage  of 
completion is determined based on the proportion of actual cost incurred to the total estimated cost of the project. 
For this purpose, actual cost includes cost of land and developmental rights but excludes borrowing cost.

Expected loss, if any, on the project is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is foreseen, irrespective of 
the stage of completion of the contract.

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

equipment is recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised 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  are  recognised  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.

Expected loss, if any, on the construction/project related activity is recognised as an expense in the period in 
which it is foreseen, irrespective of the stage of completion of the contract. While determining the amount of 
foreseeable loss, all elements of costs and related incidental income not included in contract revenue are taken 
into consideration.

v. 

Revenue from contracts for rendering of services which are directly related to the construction of an asset is recognised 
on similar basis as stated in (iv) supra.

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

vii.  Revenue from software development is recognised based on software developed or time spent in person hours or 
person weeks, and billed to customers as per the terms of specific contracts. Unbilled revenue represents value of 
services performed in accordance with the contract terms but not billed.

viii.  Income from hire purchase and lease transactions is accounted on accrual basis, pro-rata for the period, at the rates 
implicit in the transaction. Income from bill discounting, advisory and syndication services and other financing activities 
is accounted on accrual basis. Income from interest-bearing assets is recognised on accrual basis over the life of the 
asset based on the constant effective yield. Loan origination income i.e. processing fees and other charges collected 
upfront, are recognised at the inception of the loan. Income including interest or any other charges on non-performing 
asset is recognised only when realised. Any such income recognised before the asset became non-performing and 
remaining unrealised is reversed.

ix.  Revenue  relatable  to  construction  services  rendered  in  connection  with  Build-Operate-Transfer  (BOT)  projects 
undertaken by the Group is recognised during the period of construction using percentage of completion method. 
After the completion of construction period, revenue relatable to toll collections of such projects from users of facilities 
are accounted when the amount is due and recovery is certain. Licence fees for way-side amenities are accounted

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

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 
variation occurs.

x. 

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

xi.  Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of the contract are fulfilled.

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

xiii.  Income from investment management fees is recognised in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement 
and SEBI regulations based on average Assets Under Management (AUM) of mutual fund schemes over the period 
of the agreement in terms of which services are performed. Portfolio management fees are recognised 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 basis in accordance with the Trust Deed 
and are dependent on the net asset value as recorded by the respective mutual fund schemes.

xiv.  Revenue from port operation services including rail infrastructure is recognised on completion of respective services.

xv.  Revenue from charter hire is recognised based on the terms of the time charter agreement.

xvi.  Insurance premium (net of service tax) is recognised as income over the contract period or period of risk, as appropriate, 
after adjusting for unearned premium (unexpired risk) and premium 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 recognised net of reinsurance ceded and represents premium 
written that is attributable and to be allocated to succeeding accounting periods for risks to be borne by the Company 
under contractual obligations on a contract period basis or risk period basis, whichever is appropriate. It is calculated on 
a daily pro-rata basis, written on policies during the twelve months preceding the Balance Sheet date for 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 recognised as income on ceding of reinsurance premium.

Profit commission under re-insurance treaties, wherever applicable, is recognised 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 
the Company. IBNR/IBNER has been created on reinsurance accepted from Indian Motor Third Party Insurance Pool 
(IMTPIP) based on actuarial estimates received from the IMTPIP.

the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

B.  Other income

a. 

Interest income is accrued at applicable interest rate.

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

c.  Other Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the related costs, are recognised 

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

d.  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 unrealised 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 recognise any decline which is other than 
temporary in nature and such determination of decline in value, if any, is made for each investment individually. The unrealised 
profits/losses on transactions with associate companies are eliminated by reducing the carrying amount of investment.

c.  Goodwill on consolidation represents the difference between the Group’s share in the net worth of a subsidiary, an associate or 
a joint venture, and the cost of acquisition at each point of time of making the investment in the subsidiary, the associate or the 
joint venture as per Accounting Standard (AS) 21 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. 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 on consolidation as per Accounting Standard 
(AS) 21 ”Consolidated Financial Statements“ is not amortised, however, it is tested for impairment. In the event of cessation of 
operations of a subsidiary, associate or joint venture, the unimpaired goodwill is written off fully.

d. 

The gains/losses in respect of part dilution of stake in subsidiary companies pursuant to issue of additional shares to minority 
shareholders are recognised directly in capital reserve under reserves and surplus in the Balance Sheet. The gains/losses in respect 
of part divestment of stake in subsidiary companies pursuant to sale of shares by the holding company are recognised in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss.

e. 

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

Type of joint venture
Jointly controlled operations

Jointly controlled assets

Jointly controlled entities

Accounting treatment
Company’s  share  of  revenues,  common  expenses,  assets  and  liabilities  are  included  in 
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities respectively.
Share of the assets, according to nature of the assets, and share of the liabilities are shown 
as part of gross block and liabilities respectively. Share of expenses incurred on maintenance 
of the assets is accounted as expense. Monetary benefits, if any, from use of the assets are 
reflected as income.
The  Company’s  interest  in  jointly  controlled  entities  are  proportionately  consolidated  on 
a  line-by-line  basis  by  adding  together  the  book  values  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and 
expenses, after eliminating the unrealised 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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

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

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. 

v. 

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

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

vi.  The Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development reliably

The development expenditure capitalised as intangible asset is amortised over its useful life.

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

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. 

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 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. 

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) supra.

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.

8.  Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative 
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.

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.

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.)

10.  Depreciation

A. 

Indian companies

a.  Owned assets

i. 

Revalued assets:

Depreciation is provided on straight line method on the values and at the rates given by the valuers. The difference 
between depreciation provided on revalued amount and on historical cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to 
the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

ii.  Assets carried at historical cost:

Depreciation on assets carried at historical cost is provided on the written down value basis on assets acquired up 
to March 31, 1968 (at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956) and on straight line 
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.

iii.  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.

iv.  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.

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 method over the lease term. Where there is 
reasonable certainty that the Company shall obtain ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, such assets 
are depreciated at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 or at the higher rates adopted 
by the Company for similar assets.

iii. 

Leasehold land:

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

B. 

Foreign companies

Depreciation has been provided on methods and at the rates required/permissible by the local laws so as to write off the assets 
over their useful life.

11.  Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible  assets  are  stated  at  original  cost  net  of  tax/duty  credits  availed,  if  any,  less  accumulated  amortisation  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 five years

e.  Customer contracts and relationships: 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 capitalised as intangible asset upon completion of the project at the cumulative construction costs including related margins 
(refer to policy on revenue recognition supra) 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.

g. 

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

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

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.

h.  Utility right to use costs are amortised over the period of ’agreement to use‘, but not exceeding 10 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 
assets‘ revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.

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 realisable 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” [Note R(4)(b)]. Purchase and sale of investments are recognised 
based on the trade date accounting.

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.  Completed property/work-in-progress (including land) in respect of property development activity at lower of cost or net realisable 

value

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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) incurred on issue of debentures/bonds

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

18.  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, commitment charges, amortisation of ancillary costs, amortisation 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

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)

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 amortisation 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  forecasted  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 forecasted transactions, are recognised in the financial statements at fair value as on the 
Balance  Sheet  date,  in  pursuance  of  the  announcement  of  the  ICAI  dated  March  29,  2008  on  accounting  of  derivatives.  In 
addition, the derivative arrangements embedded in the contracts entered in the course of business are accounted separately if 
the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to economic characteristics and risks 
of the host contract. [Note Q(24)(a)]

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 (including embedded derivatives) 
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 and 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.

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

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. 

iii. 

iv. 

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”

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

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.

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:

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

23.  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. 

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

b. 

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

c. 

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.

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 realisation 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 recognised 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:

a. 

transactions of a non-cash nature

b. 

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

c. 

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.
