Corporate Social Responsibility
Beyond the clear, realistic targets and the measurable progress achieved by our CSR team, is a less quantifiable but deeply fulfilling goal -
spreading smiles.
Building India’s Social Infrastructure
Corporate Social Responsibility, no matter how well
intentioned, runs the risk of diffusion – of trying to run
too many programmes, do too many things, too soon.
We have therefore narrowed our focus to a single theme:
Building India’s Social Infrastructure. Based on key criteria,
a few villages have been selected in water-stressed districts
around the country, and more are being identified.
Through our Integrated Community Development
programmes, we partner with the community and address
issues of water and sanitation, education, health and
skill-building. Active participation from the community is
sought every step of the way, breaking down illusionary
differences between ‘us’ and ‘them’, between ‘experts’
and ‘dependent’ villagers awaiting relief.
Communities pledged their support through ‘Shram
Daan’ or voluntary service. They agreed to partner L&T
in implementing projects, and most importantly, assume
ownership of the plan. This would ensure that the
programmes are sustained all the way to success.
1414
CSR in Action
At L&T, we believe it is imperative that a company’s social
responsibilities transit from lofty thought, emotional prose
and slick presentations to tangible action with measurable
benefits. The well-being of the less privileged of our
country is far too important to be lost in the translation
of plans into performance.
So we asked ourselves a few simple, specific questions.
Did our programmes last year improve access to water
in summer for villagers in Talasari, Maharashtra and in
Rajpura, Punjab? How much water and energy do our
plants consume? And how will our plans for the next
year improve performance further? The answers to these
questions are the real yardsticks of success.
For us, if it is not CSR on the ground, it is not CSR at all.
We have a CSR department in Mumbai, supported by units
around the country. The Larsen & Toubro Public Charitable
Trust further supplements our efforts. Our Corporate
Social Responsibility policy is endorsed by the Group
Executive Chairman. The Company’s Sustainability & CSR
organization structure enjoys Board level representation.
The following pages present our CSR in action.
1515
The social infrastructure we seek to build covers a wide spectrum - water, sanitation, education, health and skill-building.
Where Will the Next EinsteIn Come From?
We do not believe genius limits itself to neat little
demographic brackets. The next Einstein, the next Homi
Bhabha could well be from a disadvantaged community,
far from metropolitan centres. Our responsibility then is
to ensure that the high road of opportunity is open to all.
Pre-school education helps underprivileged children
prepare themselves to enter the formal school set-up.
It has helped increase enrolment and reduce dropouts.
Our programme also gets parents actively involved in the
process. For the responsibility of education remains within
the family.
L&T set up a Science Centre at the Ondipudur Boys Higher
Secondary School, in Coimbatore. It provides hands-on
science education for the underprivileged and acts a hub
of science learning. It will also act as a resource centre,
teacher training centre and venue for project-based and
integrated learning.
Letting a Hundred Balwadis Bloom
The first day – in fact, the first weeks – in school can be
a daunting experience for a child, especially one from a
disadvantaged background. L&T has set up over a hundred
‘Balwadis’ in partnership with NGOs across the country.
Conventionally, such centres used to confine themselves
to looking after the health and nutrition requirements of
children. We went a step further to provide an enriching
learning environment.

A.R.T. - Campaign Against Aids
A new Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Centre in north
Mumbai has been built and operated by L&T and owned
by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. Our
partner is the Mumbai District Aids Control Society.
It is another example of how we are collaborating with
Government departments in the battle against AIDS - a
campaign that we began as early as 1985.
The ART Centre offers the entire range of pathology tests
for up to 2000 patients. They can avail of free medical
and super-specialty consultation and X-Ray facilities.
Ultrasonography is offered at concessional rates. Medicines
issued at the facility are as per the NACO protocol.
We believe education, skill-building and vocational training are powerful weapons in society’s war against deprivation.
The Power Plant that also Provides Water
For the villagers around L&T’s supercritical power station
at Rajpura, Punjab, the plant is a many-sided benefactor.
In addition to lighting up their lives with thermal power,
it is also helping to quench the thirst of many. Rajpura
receives an average annual rainfall of 677 mm – not quite
enough for year-long needs of the farmers.
funds for supporting a number of community initiatives,
L&T-eering has become a way of life.
The employees also assist in tree plantation drives,
participate in company-wide programmes for energy
conservation and recycling of material. All this is carried
out in the personal time of the employees, well beyond
office hours
L&T engineers constructed a multi-tiered water
conservation system. This includes two storage tanks
(Capacity: 7694 cubic metres), a filtration chamber and
a recharge-well for harvesting rainwater and facilitating
artificial recharge.
It has led to a rise in the water table and more water for
the community.
L&T-eers Are More than Volunteers
Volunteers offer their services for good causes. L&T-eers do
more. They are passionate champions of the causes they
espouse. They are conscious of the company’s long history
of responding to social needs. And they carry this tradition
further. From teaching at municipal schools to donating
blood, running marathons for a cause to mobilizing
As we said, they are more than volunteers. The only way to
describe them is - L&T-eers.
Reduce, Reuse...Rethink
To the traditional three ‘Rs’ of sustainability, viz. Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle, L&T added a fourth - Rethink. At L&T’s
Hazira unit, our innovative engineers are using a Vapour
Absorption Machine that taps into the exhaust duct
from the forge reheating furnace. Thus, no natural gas is
needed when the furnace is in operation. It has minimised
natural gas consumption and led to an annual saving of
approximately 192,000 cubic metres of natural gas.
Yes, reducing and re-thinking has its rewards!

Section E:
Principle 1: Businesses should conduct
and govern themselves with Ethics,
Transparency and Accountability
The Company’s governance framework enjoins the
highest standards of ethical and responsible conduct of
business on the part of all concerned to create value for
all stakeholders. The cornerstones of our governance
philosophy are ethics, transparency and accountability.
The Company’s Vision Statement as well as the policies
on Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR),
Corporate Human Resource and Corporate Environment,
Health and Safety (EHS) articulates the commitment to
these values. These policies extend to the operations of
all subsidiaries and associate companies.
L&T’s Board and senior management abide by the
Company’s ‘Code of Conduct’. The CEO & Managing
21
Director provides an annual declaration regarding
compliance by the Company. The Code of Conduct is
featured on the Company’s website – www.Larsentoubro.
com. Sound systems and policies are in place (e.g. Whistle
Blower Policy) to promote the Company’s principles of
ethics and fair practices covering all group companies.
The Company’s Executive Management Committee
(EMC) ensures effective formulation and implementation
of a sustainability strategy, and draws up policies. In
addition, at the corporate level, sustainability initiatives
and performance are periodically reviewed by a nominated
member of the EMC.
Further, we have revised the Environmental & Social Code
of Conduct for suppliers this year and strengthened
processes to include specific clauses on ethics and
transparency. Many of Company’s suppliers are signatories
to this code.
The non-financial performance of the Company is
disclosed in the public domain, encapsulated in the
Company’s annual Sustainability Reports. These reports are
available as printed copies or accessible on the Company’s
website. This report is third-party verified and conforms to
the world-wide accepted framework of Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI).
Details relating to stakeholder complaints are included in
the Directors’ Report Section of this Annual Report.
Codified policies publicly affirm the organisation’s commitment,
governs actions and provides clarity of direction.
Principle 2: Businesses should provide
goods and services that are safe and
contribute to sustainability
throughout their life-cycle
L&T serves the core sector of the economy and builds
infrastructure critical to industries, businesses and public
well-being. We recognize the far reaching impact of
our products and projects, and ensure that safety and
sustainability are integrated into engineering and design.
While designing products to meet the specific needs of
customers, we ensure minimal environmental impact in
the course of production. Societal good, environmental
impact and economic value are taken into account in the
development process of all products.
The Company advocates energy efficiency in the course
of production, and thereby reduces its carbon footprint.
A comprehensive review of health and safety impact
of products, projects and services is carried out. All the
products and projects are accompanied with adequate
labels and signage systems, operation & maintenance
manuals. L&T offers comprehensive training to customer
personnel.
The Company’s expanding green products and services
portfolio helps the customers ‘Go Green’ by conserving
natural resources reducing energy consumption and
associated GHG emissions. The Company’s area of
expertise encompasses Green Buildings, Mass Rapid
Transit Systems like metro and mono rail, solar power
plants built on EPC basis, fuel switch projects, coal
22
gasifiers, super-critical thermal power plant & equipment,
power transmission & distribution systems, energy saving
electrical & automation solutions, etc.
Coal gasifiers manufactured by the Heavy Engineering
business conserve energy and are environment friendly.
Green Building at Talegaon. This is one of many eco-friendly buildings
that form part of L&T’s campuses.
Energy efficient products and systems from the Electrical
& Automation business cover low-watt loss fuses, Power
Management Systems, AC drives, smart metering systems,
etc.
Within the scope of its activities, the Company aims to
conserve resources during construction and manufacturing
by practicing material optimization, using eco-friendly
raw materials and adopting energy efficient processes.
To enhance health and safety aspects at manufacturing
facilities and project sites, multiple initiatives have been
introduced and on-going interventions strengthened.
Sustainability Practices in the Value Chain
Assessing the lifecycle impacts of the Company’s products
is critical to achieving overall reductions in environmental
impact across the value chain, while growing our business.
23
Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the techniques
adopted to understand the environmental impact of
products. This year, we have revised the Environment and
Social Code of Conduct for suppliers which advocates
environment-friendly, occupational health & safety and
socially-responsible business practices. Many suppliers are
committed to practicing it in letter and spirit.
The Company conducted an environmental and social
assessment of select suppliers to help them identify
energy, water and resource-saving opportunities. The
Company also conducts capacity-building programs for
vendors and sub-contractors, and provides training and
technical expertise to improve operational efficiency. Local
sourcing enhances logistics and provides a fillip to the local
economy. Around 80% of the Company’s requirements are
met by local suppliers. Across L&T we have had ongoing
supplier engagement programs.
The Company continually promotes material recycling and
use of alternate materials. However, as the products are
‘engineered to order’ based on customer requirement,
the scope for direct material recycling is limited. Alternate
materials such as fly ash in place of cement, crushed
Air Traffic Control Tower, Mumbai Airport - built by L&T. It combines
aesthetics with engineering.
24
sand instead of natural sand, blast furnace slag in road
construction in place of natural aggregate etc. help to
conserve precious natural resources. Other examples
include recycling of steel scrap from steel centres of
construction business and zinc waste for plating operations.
The Company also engages with its value chain through
an established stakeholder engagement framework.
Feedback is valuable in formulating and implementing the
sustainability roadmap for inclusive growth.
Principle 3: Business should promote
well-being of employees
L&T believes that it is employees who shape the
organisation’s character and drive its performance. The
Company succeeds if, and only if, employees recognise
that the corporate goals are aligned to their individual
aspirations. A nurturing environment and a climate
conducive to personal well-being and professional growth
are intrinsic to the L&T culture.
The Company’s Corporate Human Resource Policy has a
robust framework which inspires innovation and creativity.

Safety is a thrust area for the Company. The Corporate
Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Policy enlists the
commitment towards embedding a safety culture in all
business operations and providing a safe and healthy
workplace to all employees. The safety performance of
the Company is reviewed by the Board of the Company
in each quarter.
Regular safety training, tool box talks, mock drills and
specific safety interventions are undertaken to build a safe
work culture within the organization. Further, a wide range
of technical, functional as well as managerial training is
imparted to the employees to nurture their competencies.
New employees are also given compulsory training on
multiple disciplines including health, safety & environment,
human rights, climate change and sustainable development
along-with orientation towards the Company businesses
and functions of various departments. All contract workmen
receive mandatory safety training before commencing
work. A total of over 3.7 million man – hours of training
was provided in FY 2014-15 to the permanent employees.
The Company’s policy on ‘Protection of Women’s Rights at
Workplace’ has been drawn up, and widely disseminated.
There were no cases of sexual harassment received in the
Company during 2014-15.
No complaints relating to child labour, forced labour or
involuntary labour were received in the FY 2014-15.
Safety techniques need to be scientifically disseminated. L&T has set
up a one-of-a-kind Safety Innovation School in Hazira.
The Leadership Development Academy at Lonavala near Mumbai
is one of the only institutions of its kind in India. It provides the
springboard for Team L&T to attain the next level of professional
growth.
In addition to workplace safety management, efforts
are also made towards employee wellness through the
‘Working on Wellness’ initiative. This focuses on stress
management and essential healthcare to enhance overall
employee well-being and promote work-life balance.
Special programs are conducted for families of employees
on home safety, career guidance and hobbies.
Principle 4: Businesses should respect
the interests of, and be responsive
towards all stakeholders, especially
those who are disadvantaged,
vulnerable and marginalized
As one of India’s most widely held companies with diverse
and transparent shareholding, we recognize that our
stakeholders form a vast and heterogeneous community.
We are conscious of the increased responsibility to ensure
that diverse and sometimes contrary interests are met
with fairness and equity. The Company engages with
its identified stakeholders on an ongoing basis through
a structured stakeholder engagement programs. The
company continues to improve the value proposition it
offers customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers and
other stakeholders and develop the communities around
its areas of operation.
25
The Company uses multiple communication platforms,
including formal and informal channels of communication,
in its dialogue with stakeholders. The Company’s
engagement framework is based on objectives like
proactive response, transparency, inclusiveness and
trust. Based on feedback, the framework is remodeled to
enable the company to customize its communication and
undertake engagement initiatives for internal and external
stakeholders. Informed interaction helps in strategy
formulation, superior decision-making and accountability.
The Company recognizes the opportunity to create
positive social impact through engagements with the
community. The CSR programs run by the Company are
focused primarily on sections of the local communities,
which are disadvantaged, vulnerable and marginalized.
Open communication channels ensure that the expressed
needs of the community are reflected in the development
initiatives we design.
Our CSR program is focused on ‘Building India’s Social
Infrastructure’. After a detailed need assessment, the
focus areas of work are identified in the operational
communities. The Company partners the communities not
only in identifying their needs but also in implementing and
tracking the progress of work done towards addressing
their issues. The programs are focused on:
• Water & Sanitation
• Education
• Health
• Skill Development
Further details of the CSR program & approach are listed

Principle 5: Businesses should respect
and promote Human Rights
The Company upholds the sanctity of Human Rights in
letter and spirit and seeks to identify, assess, and manage
human rights impacts within its sphere of influence and
activities. Human Resource Policy is on the lines of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ILO Core
Conventions on Labour Standards and the UN Global
Compact. The Company is also a member of the Global
Compact Network India.
The Company complies with ethical and human rights
standards and follows the applicable local laws and
regulatory requirements such as conventions of the
International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Factories Act
1948, Building & Other Construction Workers (Regulation
of Employment &Conditions of Service) Act 1996, and
Industrial Disputes Act 1947.
We ensure that human rights clauses (including those
that deal with child or forced labour) are part of contract
documents entered into with sub-contractors, and are
strictly adhered to within our premises and sites, while also
being extended to Subsidiary and Associate companies.
Employees are sensitized on human rights through
induction training programs, interactive sessions, intranet,
policy manuals and posters.
The Company’s recruitment rules, procedures and general
conditions of service stipulate equal opportunities for
all its employees at the time of recruitment as well as
during the course of employment irrespective of gender,
ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, political or
religious affiliation.
We propagate our values across the supply chain by
prescribing a ‘Code of Conduct’ for our suppliers. Apart
from the internal stakeholders the policy extends to our
Suppliers, Contractors and NGOs. We have initiated
environmental and social screening and assessment of
select suppliers based on their impact on the environment
and type of operations. Many of our suppliers are
signatories to this code and are committed to practice
it in letter and spirit. Essential environment-friendly and
socially-responsible business practices propagated by the
Code include energy efficiency, water conservation, waste
reduction, occupational health & safety, prevention of
corruption and respect for human rights.
There were no reported complaints related to human
rights violations during the FY 2014-15.
Principle 6: Business should respect,
protect, and make efforts to restore
the environment
L&T is committed to environmental sustainability in all areas
of its operations. We have revised our sustainability policy
this year which is in synch with current environmental
concerns.
A system is in place to identify and assess potential
environmental risks and opportunities in its operations.
The Company’s environment conservation programs and
initiatives are propagated to its Subsidiary and Associate
Companies. Key suppliers are also encouraged to follow
such practices.
We remain committed to the eight missions of the National
Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) instituted
by the Government of India. Progressively, we have
been investing in products and processes that promote
sustainable growth - enhancing energy security, developing
low-carbon technologies for building infrastructure,
spreading sustainability knowledge and increasing green
cover. Numerous initiatives have been undertaken for
reduction of energy and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission
intensity, increased use of renewable energy, promotion
of green building construction, and enhancement of green
cover, provision of solar & renewable energy solutions to
customers and building of capacity for environmental
management. Carbon emissions are annually disclosed to
the Carbon Disclosure Project. Our energy auditors and
Sustainability begins at home. ‘Unnati’ - L&T’s new facility in Navi

Design) Gold Certification.
energy managers have been trained at units certified by
Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
The Company adheres to all pollution control standards set
by the regulatory bodies like Central and State pollution
control boards. Environmental regulatory approvals are
sought prior to commencement of operations at units and
project sites. Regular checks are conducted by internal
27
and independent auditors/assessors, to ensure compliance
with relevant environmental regulations and compliance
reports are submitted to Central Pollution Control Board
(CPCB) / State Pollution Control Boards (SPCB) where ever
applicable. The Company’s Board of Directors has complete
access to the information within the organization. This
includes reports on any material effluent or pollution
problems. All manufacturing units and service sites are
encouraged to develop and maintain a management
system based on ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001. During the
financial year, there were no pending or unresolved show
cause/legal notices from CPCB/SPCB.
As a part of Company-wide effort to protect the
environment, and in accordance with the circular issued
by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India,
shareholders have been given the option of receiving
documents related to general meetings (including AGM),
Audited Financial Statements, etc., through e-mail instead
of printed copies.
Salient features of the Company’s green initiatives include:
Using Renewable Energy
A Power Purchase Agreement is in place since 2003 with
a renewable energy power producer for various campuses
to draw renewable energy as a substitute to fossil fuel
generated electricity.
Reducing Carbon Footprint
Lifecycle assessment - from cradle to gate - has been
conducted of a product manufactured by the Heavy
Engineering business. Results show that 40% of the
total carbon footprint is generated during the in-house
fabrication process. The rest is caused by activities outside
Company premises. Initiatives taken at the Powai campus
include: investments in renewable energy, reduction in
material consumption and enhancing the product’s energy
efficiency. The Company plans to conduct similar studies
for other products. In addition to reducing its own carbon
footprint, it offers customers a bouquet of green products
and services. Revenue from green products & services are
contributing an increasingly larger share in the Company’s
total revenue.
Conserving Water
L&T’s water consumption intensity and treated wastewater
discharge have declined steadily over the years. Various
water management initiatives like water auditing, rainwater
28
harvesting and Industrial and domestic wastewater
treatment and reuse are in place across all manufacturing
locations. Five L&T campuses have been certified as ‘Water
Positive’ by an independent assurance provider. All 28
major units are zero waste-water discharge.
The Larsen & Toubro Public Charitable Trust (LTPCT)
supplements the Company’s efforts in water conservation
efforts by focusing on water management projects in
tribal and drought-prone regions of Maharashtra. Over
200 check dams were constructed in Dahanu and Talasari
blocks of Maharashtra, in collaboration with voluntary
organizations.
Promoting Biodiversity
Carbon sequestration studies were conducted in six
campuses. Studies show that the Powai campus has:
around 101 wild plant species; 169 cultivated plant
species, 23 bird species, 19 butterfly species, 6 species
of mammals and 9 species of reptiles. Several initiatives
have been taken to protect biodiversity in the area and to
grow native species.
Principle 7: Responsible Public
Advocacy
L&T articulates the larger interests of industry, professional
disciplines and the community at industrial forums and
professional bodies. Our senior executives provide the
benefits of their experience and insights while participating
in the formulation of public policies. Institutes and
industrial forums where the Company participates include:
• Association of Business Communicators of India
• Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of
India (ASSOCHAM)
• Bombay Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI)
• Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

teams on Environment, Health & Safety (EHS), energy
conservation and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Principle 8: Support Inclusive Growth
Inclusive growth is at the heart of Company’s social
engagement strategy. Last year, L&T revisited CSR thrust
areas and developed a new theme: ‘Building India’s Social
Infrastructure’. All the Company’s CSR activities are
centered on holistic and integrated social development
programs at locations identified as being most needy. A
new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy has been
formulated.
The Company has the following structure for
implementation of CSR programs: The Apex SCSR Team
at the corporate level and SCSR team at the business level
and unit level -
• CSR projects are identified and implemented by a unit
level SCSR team, area/branch offices and project based
team with guidance from the Apex and Business level
SCSR team
• Ladies Clubs formed by women employees and spouses
of L&T employees participate in implementation of CSR
projects
• Employee volunteers - known as ‘L&Teers’ focus on
health and education programs
The Company works with NGOs, and the society at large
in a collaborative approach to identify the requirements
of the local community through need assessment
before initiating any social program. Periodic-impact
assessment is done to monitor the benefits received by
the community and augment the CSR project if required.
The community development programs are either fully-
adopted or supported by the company as per the need
on a case-to-case basis. Capacity-building programs for
local administrations are also conducted to successfully
run the programs.
The company has identified the following thrust areas:
• Water & Sanitation
• Education
• Healthcare
• Skill Development
A snapshot of the work is as follows-:
Water & Sanitation
Severe water-stressed areas in the country have been
identified. We will focus on creating sustainable sources
of water for drinking, sanitation and irrigation. Replicable
and indigenous methods for augmenting water supply will
be adopted, such as building check dams, field bunds, and
soil and water conservation. The program will also help
the community to build and utilize sanitation facilities.
Other initiatives in these identified areas will include
support to local schools, skill development training and
access to medical facilities.
Education
We focus on providing primary education, developing
infrastructure and enhancing the learning experience in
schools in the vicinity of our units across India.
Innovative learning methods are used in subjects like
mathematics and science, which many children find
challenging. Our ‘Science on Wheels’ van visits schools and
provides a hands-on opportunity to perform experiments.
Other initiatives include, support to pre-schools,
infrastructure development, setting up computer labs,
providing teaching aids and uniforms to the needy,
capacity building of teachers, organizing summer camps,

and or anti-competitive behaviour, no stakeholder has
filled a case against the Company in last five years and
there are no pending cases as on 31st March, 2015.
Principle 9: Engage with and provide
value to customers
We believe our leadership position in most of our major
businesses rests on our ability to consistently improve the
value we offer customers. We engage with our clients
to understand requirements, and anticipate needs. We
invest in R&D, design facilities, superior manufacturing
and testing processes, and set up training centres for our
own and customer personnel.
Health & Safety concerns are integrated at the product
design stage. Our products carry suitable labeling and are
accompanied by operation and maintenance manuals in

L&T’s Switchgear Training Centre in Vadodara. At all L&T centres, the
emphasis is not on ‘selling’ of brand or product, but on ensuring that
customers adopt good electrical practices and gain the maximum value
from switchgear.
An established system of addressing customer complaints,
comments and suggestions ensures regular personal
interaction with clients. The system consists of regular
IT complex built by L&T for a software major. The high percentage of
‘repeat orders’ that L&T secures across all its businesses is possibly the
most accurate reflection of customer confidence in the Company’s
offerings.

Management Discussion & Analysis 2014-15
The global economy is expected to grow 3.5% in 2015 with
improved economic indicators in US. However, fragility
may continue in Euro zone and the pace of development
is expected to slow down in China in 2015. Although new
investments in Oil & Gas Sector in the Middle East may
get impacted due to low crude oil prices, infrastructure
development would remain in focus. Successful demand
recovery process in the key emerging market economies
and a staggered roll back of the accommodative monetary
policies of the advanced economies hold the key for a
more stable and growth oriented outlook for the global
economy.
Overview of Indian Economy:
The investment climate remained sluggish throughout
the year 2014-15. The GDP growth of Indian economy
was 7.3% in the year 2014-15 via-a-vis 6.9% recorded in
2013-14 based on the new series. The new government in
the centre, assumed the office with the high expectations.
In order to improve macroeconomic parameters, the
government has taken certain policy initiatives such as
enhancing limits of FDI in defence, insurance, real estate,
reduction of subsidies, decontrol of petroleum pricing,
transparent mechanism for allocation of telecom and
natural resources etc. The government has also significantly
stepped up budgetary allocation for infrastructure
development with several new initiatives like development
of Smart cities, Digital India, High Speed Rail Corridors,
new Industrial Clusters and has announced ambitious
projects such as linking of rivers and Clean Ganga along
with the measures for revival of power sector.
Investment climate, however, remained subdued during
2014-15, as the reform process would take some more
time to gain ground. Industrial demand was weak and
capacity utilisation remained low across the sectors. Tight
liquidity position prevailed throughout the year with
elevated interest rates.
The government is addressing policy hurdles by fast-
tracking decision-making and is putting in place some
crucial building blocks for enhancing the ease of doing
business. Going forward, sectors like Roads, Railways,
Security Systems, Communication, and Water offer
good opportunities in short to the medium term.
With its significant capabilities in defence equipment
manufacturing, the Company sees opening up of
significant opportunities in the defence sector under
‘Make in India Program’ in the medium term. Lower oil
prices, higher FDI inflows and the reform initiatives of the
new government at the centre, along with its commitment
to sound fiscal management and consolidation augur well
for the growth prospects and the overall macroeconomic
situation.
Business Scenario:
The Company has sustained the growth momentum in the
order inflows amidst a difficult business environment over
the last 2-3 years on the back of its diversified portfolio,
timely mapping of emerging opportunities and proven
capabilities. The year 2014-15 witnessed sluggish demand
and sectoral bottlenecks, impacting the revenue and
margins of certain core businesses of the Company. Cost
overruns and close-out costs of international jobs pulled
down the overall expected consolidated profits during
2014-15. Increasing levels of net working capital and
limited fresh cash flows exerted pressure on availability
of surplus funds.
The Company has identified certain key thrust areas and
strategies for leveraging on the capabilities in order to
benefit from the emerging growth opportunities. Major
thrust areas and growth strategies are enumerated below.
Growth Strategies and Thrust Areas:
• Focus on Quality of new orders: The businesses are
selective in order intake and are focusing on robust
due diligence of prospects, especially in International
markets, as a part of risk management process so that
the execution and other risks are mitigated.
• Profitable and efficient execution: Efficient contract
management, sound execution strategies, cost
competitiveness and improved operational efficiency
are pre-requisites for achieving profitable growth in the
competitive business environment. Close monitoring,
timely deployment of resources, efficient sourcing
strategies, reduction in the fixed costs and rigorous
negotiation of service contracts are some of the major
initiatives that are pursued to enhance the execution
efficiencies.
109
• Working Capital: To address the increasing levels of
working capital, the Company has embarked upon
tightening of capital allocation to various businesses.
Regular focus on day-to-day cash management,
monitoring of exposures to customers and maximization
of vendor credits are being pursued to bring down the
funds deployed in working capital. Specific measures
for liquidation of sticky receivables, accelerating
invoicing of work completed and liquidation of surplus
/ unserviceable inventories are also being pursued.
• Manpower: People are the key enablers in translating
growth aspirations into reality. Manpower resource
planning is accordingly being focussed on building
up and retention of talent with the requisite skill sets
and managerial / leadership bandwidth. Given the
challenging business environment and increasingly
demanding customers, the focus is on strengthening
the performance-oriented culture and identification of
redundancies.
The Company with its healthy balance sheet, diversified
presence and proven capabilities is well placed to benefit
early as sustainable growth opportunities emerge over the
next few years.
In this background, the Company’s various businesses
present their operations review for the year 2014-15 as
follows:
110
Infrastructure Business
Salalah International Airport, Oman. L&T has constructed a Passenger Terminal Building, Air Traffic Control Tower, the Royal Oman Police building,
management complex, ancillary buildings and other infrastructure including car park facilities.
The Infrastructure business segment is the construction
arm of the Company and enjoys leadership position in the
construction sector in India. It has been ranked among
the world’s top 30 contractors. The Infrastructure segment
offers EPC solutions with single-source responsibility, for
executing large industrial and infrastructure projects from
concept to commissioning through dedicated businesses
– Buildings & Factories, Heavy Civil Infrastructure,
Transportation Infrastructure, Power Transmission &
Distribution and Water, Smart World & Communication.
With a proven track record of over seven decades, the
business segment has been transforming cityscapes
and landscapes with structures of immense size and
grandeur. The company’s capabilities span the entire
gamut of construction - civil, mechanical, electrical and
instrumentation engineering - and its services extend to all
core sector industries and infrastructure projects.
L&T Infrastructure’s international presence is increasing,
with history of work sites in 20 countries that encompass
South Asia, South East Asia, the Middle East, Russia, CIS
countries and African countries. A few recent prestigious
projects of the Infrastructure business segment under
execution include the Statue of Unity, the Riyadh Metro
in KSA, the Doha metro in Qatar, the Western Dedicated
Freight Corridor (WDFC) CTP 1 & 2 and EMP 4 in India, Al
Wakrah Bypass road project in Qatar, Optical fibre cable
111
network for BSNL, Kahramaa Phase XI substations in Qatar
and Mumbai city surveillance project.
Infrastructure Business Scenario
India
India remains rich with potential. With a stable government
in place coupled with improving business sentiments and
a rapidly emerging environment that is conducive for
policy making, the future looks promising especially for
the Infrastructure and Construction sector.
The total order announcements/ awards have marginally
improved during 2014-15 and the trend is expected to
strengthen during 2015-16.
As regards the competitive landscape, many prominent
players continue to reel under high debt and some are
under Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) which is
evident from the recent financial results published by
them. An increasing number of PPP and real estate assets
are up for sale in a ‘buyers’ market. Such companies with
stressed balance sheets will take time to recoup. To fill the
gap, a number of foreign players have come in making
competition more robust.
Going forward, there is a good possibility of the CAPEX
cycle recovering within 2-3 quarters. Only players with
strong delivery capabilities and a stable balance sheet will
be better placed to leverage this upturn.
Middle East
The Middle East also poses a challenging scenario and
growth rates have been conservatively pegged lower
primarily because of the steep fall in crude oil prices
though analysts believe that these prices will settle in
2015. There is a strong likelihood that the GCC countries
will be able to tide over these testing times thanks to the
huge surplus funds that they have at their disposal.
Opportunities will still be available in the Middle East
though it would be prudent to seek growth from other
new geographies like Africa and South East Asia that have
remained largely insulated from the slowdown.
Global
Available results reveal a modest showing by the global
construction industry in 2014 though there has been an
aggressive adoption of ‘big ticket’ infrastructure projects
in the Middle East and the release of pent up demand in
112
the US. While the Euro zone failed to rev up, the sharp
decline in oil prices has led oil majors to announce CAPEX
reductions. Most global contractors are therefore focusing
on select, growing overseas markets resulting in increased
competition.
Orders were improving from the Middle East for a major
portion of 2014, though there has been a perceptible
slowing down in the later part of the year both in on-going
projects and new announcements. The real estate markets
of Dubai and Abu Dhabi are also seeing some correction.
Going forward, although falling crude oil prices could
be a dampener, there is a widespread feeling that the
Middle East construction sector will hold its own and
drive demand albeit at extremely competitive levels. Risk
evaluation and proactive mitigation will remain the focus.
Buildings and Factories
Overview:
Buildings & Factories (B&F) is a business vertical that is
equipped with the domain knowledge, expertise and
wide-ranging experience to undertake Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) of Airports, IT Parks,
Office buildings, Institutional spaces, Hospitals, Stadiums,
Hotels, Elite residential buildings, High rise structures,
Mass housing complexes, Factory structures, Cement
plants and Industrial warehouses. B&F is a pioneer in
offering ’Total engineering solutions’ right from “concept
to commissioning” across all the business lines cited above.
B&F’s competitive advantages
include dedicated
engineering design centers, competency cells, advanced
formwork systems, mechanized projects execution and a
rich talent pool of employees.
Business Environment:
The previous calendar year was a tough one for the
Indian economy. Almost all customers deferred their
projects / investments during first half of the year due
to the parliamentary elections. The federal bank’s cues
to end quantitative easing led to foreign investors
panicking and impulsively pulling out their investments
from all emerging markets including India. This drastically
reduced liquidity in the capital market in turn affecting
the progress of ongoing projects. However, the formation
of a strong central government in the second quarter of
the financial year revived positivity amongst the investors.
Rule‘ was implemented across all projects to educate and
sensitize everyone on hazardous project activities and the
corresponding preventive measures.
A team of experts was formed to study futuristic businesses
potential and formulate suitable strategies to evolve a
competitive edge.
Key moves have been taken to strengthen the international
organization and follow a focused approach towards
projects that complement the strengths of B&F.
The projects executed by B&F continued to bag various
awards & recognitions during 2014-15. Two Projects
bagged Awards from The Royal Society for Prevention
of Accidents (RoSPA). Six Projects bagged Awards from
British Safety Council. Twelve Projects bagged Awards
from National Safety Council, India. Four Projects bagged
L&T is helping cities soar skywards by building a wide range of
residential projects, from elite towers to mass-housing complexes.
Awards from Indian Concrete Institute. Three Projects
bagged Awards for Quality Excellence from CII and
Construction Week.
The prestigious ’Statue of Unity‘ project has been won
which will be a global iconic structure. This re-affirms
B&F’s capabilities of executing challenging and technically
complex projects.
B&F has maintained its leadership in the construction
of super-specialty hospitals and medical colleges in the
country. Major hospital projects have been secured in the
eastern and northern parts of India.
113
Terminal 2, Mumbai International Airport. L&T successfully overcame
the challenges of modernizing and expanding a brownfield airport on
turnkey basis in this busy metropolis without disrupting air schedules.
The new government is keen on bolstering infrastructure
development by announcing projects like SMART cities,
Industrial Corridors, etc.
Against all odds, B&F has registered steady growth and
continued to maintain its leadership position in the
industry. B&F also expanded its footprint in the Middle
East countries to diversify business portfolio.
Significant Initiatives:
B&F implemented operational excellence initiatives across
all levels to enhance profitability, like the introduction of
value engineering techniques to cut down cost and improve
productivity. Project cycle times were brought down by
embracing technology and mechanized execution. Safety
is imbibed as a ’way of culture‘ and the concept of ‘Golden
All India Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital, Bhubaneswar - one of
the many healthcare institutions built by L&T in India and the Gulf.
Repeat orders were received from loyal customers in the
IT and residential business lines. Kannur and Cochin green
field airports were secured during the year emphasizing its
expertise in building aviation infrastructure.
Major orders were secured from esteemed customers like
Bombay Realty, Omkar developers, Oberoi and DLF group
for the construction of elite high rise residential towers in
western and northern India. In southern India, prestigious
orders were received from Prestige, Provident and Skylark
group for the construction of residential towers.
L&T has built over 150 IT parks and commercial complexes in India
and neighbouring countries.
Some of the key projects commissioned by B&F this year
are Commercial complexes for IT giants like Cognizant,
TCS, HCL and iGate, Boeing MRO facility at Nagpur, High
rise residential towers for DLF, Godrej, IREO and Olympia
clients, Cement plants for Rajashree & Century Cements
and Factory establishments for JCB, Maruti Suzuki, North
Central Railway & VSF Grasim.
Outlook:
B&F is upbeat about the Indian business scenario and is
well positioned to capture the momentum. The realty
sector will stimulate growth in view of easing out of
interest rates, relaxation in FDI norms and revived investor
sentiments. Rapid urbanization and the rising middle
class are driving huge demands for affordable houses.
The ‘Make in India’ initiative is expected to bolster the
manufacturing industry. Raising quality and awareness in
healthcare is expected to generate more investments.
Modernization of Tier 1 & 2 city airports and the kick start
of Navi Mumbai green field airport will drive growth in
114
A large residential complex in Ahmedabad. L&T builds residential
projects for all segments of society.
domestic aviation sector. Strong IT & BPM industry growth
will drive commercial space requirement.
In the international arena, though falling oil prices may
have some impact on the Middle East economy, there is
hope that infrastructure spending will continue strongly
in view of Expo 2020 (UAE) & FIFA 2022 (Qatar) and good

Engineering, and Construction of projects in Metros,
Nuclear, Hydel, Ports, Special Bridges, Tunnels and
Defence segments. The goal of the business is to become
a total infrastructure solutions provider, not just in India,
but abroad as well. The in-house design strength and
unique construction methodology cell give Heavy civil
infrastructure business an edge over its competitors and
help it serve customers from concept to commissioning.
Business Environment:
During the current year, Heavy civil infrastructure business
turned in a very good performance and succeeded in
achieving most of its plans in-spite of challenging market
and investment conditions. The operational and financial
performance of the business reflects healthy growth.
The year 2015-16 is expected to be challenging though
encouraging due to a recovery of the Indian economy on
account of reform measures being initiated by GOI. Positive
announcements on Infrastructure and Defence Sectors in
the Union Budget should also revive infrastructure projects.

Business Environment:
For FY 2014-15, the power transmission and distribution
sector in India saw the distribution sector maintaining the
momentum it had gained during the year 2013-14 backed
by significant investments.
Against the backdrop of several governmental initiatives
in the distribution sector, endorsed by central funding
agencies, state utilities have laid emphasis on strengthening
their respective distribution networks for better efficiency,
accountability and management. PT&D has positioned
itself to capitalize on these emerging opportunities and
was successful in bagging major orders. In addressed
markets, Extra High Voltage (EHV) Sub-station Systems
& Power Distribution Business Unit enjoys considerable
market share and is the clear numero-uno in terms of
volume.
The opportunities in the transmission sector were steady
as central and select state utilities concentrated on Power
System Strengthening Schemes to meet their demands.
Policy issues and a general lull continued in the power
and industry segment. Steel, Cement & Power generation
continue to see adverse impact with little expansion

distribution systems in the Middle East.
121
announced and ongoing Greenfield projects moving at
a slow pace.
Transmission Line projects are spread across the Indian sub-
continent and encompass varied and composite terrains.
The contours of the Transmission Line business have
changed from PGCIL & Utilities to Tariff-based competitive
bidding (TBCB) process. Several players are planning to
enter TBCB projects. Strengthening of networks is going
to take place. Land acquisition for the same is in the step
of re-promulgation by the Union Cabinet and will have
an impact on the Right of Way clearances in transmission
line projects.
Projects have been executed for Central Transmission
Utilities like PGCIL, NHPC, etc. and for various State
Transmission Utilities like those in Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, etc. EPC
projects have also been undertaken for various Independent
Power Producers pan India. The business has dedicated,
experienced construction teams to take up projects at
various voltage levels and are presently executing various
projects at 765kV AC, 400kV AC & 800kV High Voltage
Direct Current (HVDC) levels in various parts of the country.
In the Solar Business, the year witnessed reduced
capacity addition due to delays in policy implementation.
Nevertheless, the new government has shown deep
interest in developing solar power plants across India and
has initiated plans to achieve its target of 100 GW by
2022.
On the International front, during the year 2014-15,
PT&D Business in Middle East had mixed fortunes in the
prevailing economic and political scenario. The political
scenario was optimistic in general. The positive investment
climate was aided by FIFA 2022 related investments in
Qatar, Expo 2020 related plans in UAE and continued T&D
investment plans of Kuwait & Oman. Key focus on Saudi
Arabia has resulted in substantial growth for the T&D
Business as their central power utility has gone ahead with
its vast expansion plans so as to meet its demand forecast.
Though the overall scenario looks optimistic, there were
concerns in the Middle East region on account of the
recent developments in the neighboring countries of Iraq,
Syria & Yemen. Further, the drop in oil prices during the
latter part of the year also contributed to some anxiety in
terms of the investments/ developments planned in the
region with a little slowdown witnessed in Brown field/
Green field Industrial Electrical works related to the Oil &
Gas market.
122

124
Outlook:
The emphasis placed by the incumbent government
on providing thrust to domestic manufacturing would
necessitate manifold increase in power requirements. With
World’s largest single rooftop (7.5 MWp) solar power plant in Punjab
its experience and core competencies, the EHV Substation
& Power Distribution business is in an optimal position to
exploit the opportunities accruing as a result.
For the year 2015-16, the EHV substation segment is
expecting a high capital expenditure from central utility for
Substations with emphasis on 765/400 kV GIS. The Central
Government has launched Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram
Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) and Integrated Power Development
Scheme (IPDS) with investment laid as per the Planning
Commission. These schemes aim to continue the reforms
in Power Distribution sector over the next 5 years. This
will provide a great opportunity every year in the DISCOM
(Utility) segment. Further, with the start of coal block
auctions in Feb’15, stalled Power, Steel & Cement Projects
are expected to take off in the year 2015-16.
In the Transmission Business, while the state and central
utilities will continue to attract the routine packages for
grid strengthening, Major Transmission Packages will also
come in through the Tariff Based competitive bidding.
In the Solar business, while the first half of 2014 was
very uncertain due to the elections, the second half was
promising, and laid a good foundation for a vastly better
2015. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)
started the process for allocating 3 GW of solar projects
under the state specific programme. Several Central Public
Sector Undertakings and government organizations are
also in the process of setting up solar power plants.
Three southern states – Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and
the newly carved Telangana – allotted 500 MW of solar
projects each, and if all goes well, a majority of these
projects will be commissioned by end of 2015/early 2016.
Apart from these, several public sector tenders are coming
up to meet the India’s energy requirement. Around
1500 MW tenders have been released and there are plans
to install 5000 MW in the coming 3 years.
After two years of sluggishness, annual solar installations
are expected to cross 2 GW in 2015, and another 3-4 GW
is likely to be allotted this year. More clarity will emerge
during the year as to how exactly the 100 GW target will
be achieved. The domestic PV manufacturing industry will
benefit once the demand increases. Financing cost, which
has been one of the major challenges for setting up solar
projects, is also expected to gradually reduce as a result
of the easing of inflation. Overall, 2015 promises to be
a good year for the Indian solar sector and the start of
a potential era for solar, considering the fructification of

Further, Africa is experiencing an unprecedented
economic boom and is being seen as the next investment
destination. There has been an increased focus on
better macroeconomic management by the govt. bodies
& good policies to attract investments from foreign
companies. There has been a huge inflow of investments
in the infrastructure and Oil & Gas sectors. Africa’s Power
Infrastructure deficit may serve as an impediment to the
continent’s economic growth, but it represents a major
opportunity. Regional integration in terms of power
pools and promotion of renewable generation are game
changers that could shape the energy landscape in sub-
Saharan Africa. The Power infrastructure is being ramped
up. T&D is concentrated on key economies such as Algeria,
Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zambia,
Uganda, Mozambique & Malawi. These countries have a
clear road map to build Substations & Transmission lines to
meet their ever increasing demand for electricity.
The overall outlook of PT&D sector given the above
domestic and international scenario looks promising.
PT&D needs to look forward to strengthen its position to
tap these opportunities by ramping up and leveraging the
synergies across geographies to improve its growth levels
both on top line as well as on bottom line.

operations of 3420 MW of new power generation capacity
during the year that was built by the business.
Business Environment:
Business Environment continued to be challenging for
the power sector. During the year, projects of a meagre
7540 MW in the supercritical space were awarded against
the domestic supercritical manufacturing capacity of about
24000 MW. The excess manufacturing capacity built-up
is leading to aggressive competition with players bidding
all-time low prices coupled with extremely tight completion
schedule to bag awards in the shrunk market. However,
with the political stability, improved consumer confidence,
expectations of a modest recovery in growth and decline
in inflation expectations, the business environment has
shown the signs of improvement. Kick-start of stalled
projects demonstrates such positive environment.
Power business continued to demonstrate its unmatchable
execution capabilities in super critical technology for its
projects. This was proven by commencement of commercial
On the policy front, Government’s thrust for economic
growth through ‘Make in India’ campaign, transparency in
coal block allocation/auction and impetus on distribution
129
reforms will lead to revival of Indian Power sector in the
coming years. It is expected that in line with its ‘Make in
India’ philosophy, the government would extend ‘Phased
Manufacturing Program’ beyond October 2015 and
retain Mandatory Domestic Sourcing clause for critical
equipment in the revised Standard Bidding Documents
(SBD) for UMPPs to ensure optimum utilization of domestic
manufacturing facilities for Power equipment.
For the year 2015-16, the market scenario is likely to
improve with multiple Central as well as State Government
utilities coming up with new tenders. A few UMPPs are also
expected to be tendered with revised SBDs giving impetus
to thermal power sector. Opportunities are also expected
in Nuclear Power generation segment after durable risk
mitigation solutions (Insurance Pool) are made available.
In view of the uncertain gas supply situation in the

Power’s 2x700 MW supercritical thermal power plant at
Rajpura, Punjab, by the business in record time. Securing
two full EPC coal power projects and one Boiler Island job
during the year proves business efforts in this direction.
During the year, the business undertook re-organization
of its business structure with the help of a leading
consultancy agency to achieve operational excellence
and optimal staffing in the business. Innovative IT tools
have been deployed for effective project management.
The business continued its focus on high quality safety
standards and practices resulting in receiving accolades
not only in domestic but also from international clients.
The focus on exports and international markets was further
sharpened during the year. The business has strengthened
its presence in Bangladesh. Various businesses such as
piping, boiler, turbine and engineering were successful in
bagging several prestigious export orders which are being
executed to the complete satisfaction of the clients.
Outlook:
The Indian power sector is undergoing important changes
that are redefining the industry outlook.
The business sentiment has improved. As economic
growth rate improves, it will drive power demand in
India. Several tenders from central and state utilities are
in pipeline and are expected to be awarded during the
coming years. The Government of India’s focus to attain
‘Power For All’ has accelerated capacity addition in the
country. At the same time, the competitive intensity is
increasing on market side as well as supply side - fuel,
logistics, finances and manpower. The financial health of
power distribution companies remains a concern. This, in
turn, is impacting financial health of power generating
companies and further investment from private sector.
In order to achieve power generation target for the year
2015-16, Government has taken various initiatives which
focus on maximization of capacity utilization of existing
as well as stranded power generating assets, controlling
input costs, optimization of fuel mix, technology upgrades
and utilization of non-conventional energy sources.
Stringent environment norms will call for cutting edge
super critical technology and new product innovations
and the business will be in fore-front to take advantage
of these opportunities.

debt across steel players. Some of the positive regulatory
interventions such as allocation of coal mines and increase
in import duty on steel have, however, started to show
signs of improvement in domestic steel sector.
The Ministry of Steel has set ambitious plan to invest in
modernization and expansion of steel plants in various
PSUs and has also taken several initiatives like setting up
of Inter-Ministerial Group and Project Monitoring Group
for effective coordination and expediting implementation
of various investment projects in the steel sector. All these
initiatives provide greater opportunities in steel sector.
Power sector has an investment potential of more than
200 billion USD in the next five years. The Ministry of
Power has set ambitious target to double production
capacity to two trillion units of energy by 2019. All these
initiatives are expected to provide lot of opportunities for
MMH business.

Heavy Engineering Business
Pinaka multi-barrel rocket-launcher. L&T works closely with defence research organisations to develop and manufacture weapon and missile systems
Overview:
The Heavy Engineering business is involved in design,
engineering, production,delivery and commissioning of
custom designed critical equipment & systems to core
sectors like Fertilizer, Refinery, Petrochemical, Chemical, Oil
& Gas, Thermal & Nuclear Power, Aerospace and Defence.
The business has a good track record in executing large,
complex projects with a high technology base on account
of its capabilities consisting of in-house engineering, R&D
centers, world class production facilities, experienced and
competent project team and safe work culture.
The Heavy Engineering business is structured into two
Strategic Business Groups (SBGs):
• Process Plant Equipment and Nuclear
• Defence and Aerospace
Process Plant Equipment and Nuclear (PP&N) SBG is
involved in manufacture of large complex equipment
such as Heat exchangers for process plants and equipment
for the Nuclear Power sector. Heavy manufacturing is
undertaken at work centers located in Mumbai, Hazira
and at Sohar in Oman. The business has also put in place
a team for capturing opportunities in Modification Revamp
& Upgrade (MRU). Ranoli near Vadodara handles precision
fabrication in Stainless Steel and titanium on process plant
side.
The business is proud to be associated with International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the world’s
largest ‘first-of-its-kind’ fusion reactor. While sections of
the 30 M diameter, 3700 MT stainless steel cryostat for
ITER project are being manufactured at the Hazira facility,
the business has setup a workshop in France for assembly
of these sections.
Defence and Aerospace (D&A) SBG is involved in
conceptualisation, design, development and production of
complex systems including Artillery systems, Land & Naval
Weapon systems, Fire Control Systems, Naval equipment
and systems, Underwater Platforms, Engineering Systems
for Land & Marine forces, C4I systems, Missile systems

scenario triggered by slump in oil prices, currency
fluctuations and intense competition. The sudden & steep
drop in oil price has resulted into cancellation, suspension
and deferment of capex projects of oil producing
countries. As a result, there is a slowdown in demand and
margins are under pressure due to aggressive pricing from
competitors having idle capacities.
The situation has got aggravated due to 25% – 50%
depreciation of certain foreign currencies as compared to
6% depreciation of INR in the year 2014-15. Also, high
cost of working capital affects competitiveness of Indian
companies. The localisation policies of certain countries,
and preference to local suppliers by some of the EPC
companies & customers due to socio-political compulsions
have also impacted the business. The competitiveness
of the business is also influenced by the absence of
competitively priced, long tenor financing from Indian
export credit agencies for exported engineering products.
International sanctions on Iran also deprive the business
of some good opportunities.
Nuclear business was affected due to the implications of
the Civil Nuclear Liability Act. All foreign and domestic
suppliers and contractors have been apprehensive about
the liability due to lack of clarity and absence of insurance
instrument for risk mitigation and thus all nuclear power
programs in India were stagnant. On the export front,
however, the business is regularly supplying Dry shielded
canisters and casks for storage of spent nuclear fuel to
L&T will build the cryostat for the prestigious ITER project. The
cryostat will be the world’s largest high-vaccuum pressure chamber
and Combat Management Systems. The SBG operations
span five dedicated and world class production facilities
which include the Strategic Systems Complex at Talegaon
near Pune, Precision Manufacturing Facility in Coimbatore,
Advanced Composites Facility at Ranoli, Military
Communications & Avionics centers at Bangalore and a
special facility at Vishakhapatnam.
Business Environment:
During the year 2014-15, the Process Plant Equipment
segment has been impacted by a weak global economic
Unsaturated Gas Demethanizer. L&T has designed, manufactured and supplied critical process plant equipment to over 40 countries
137
utilities in USA.The production centers have been audited
and approved by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
for this purpose.
The Defence& Aerospace segment is a technology driven
segment with a long ‘bid to award’ cycle and order inflow
has been impacted primarily due to the continuing effect
of deferment in decisions by the past government over
preceding two financial years. Major orders secured in
this segment during the year 2014-15 include production
orders for Artillery systems upgrade and land engineering
systems. The first non-offset export order received from
Philippines this year marks a significant breakthrough in
the International Market. At the same time, some repeat
orders have been deferred by the Government.
On the execution front, the year saw award-winning
process improvements leading to record production rate of
‘missile-a-day’ (Akash) output at Coimbatore, and healthy
progress in serial production of bridging systems from
Strategic System Complex, Talegaon. Revenues, and thus
PBIT in FY 2014-15 are, however, expected to be lower
due to long cycle time of orders at hand and technological
challenges. The SBG has recorded healthy collections of
v 1650 crore, which has resulted in significant improvement
of the Net Working Capital.
Significant Initiatives:
In order to maintain leadership position in the Process
Plant & Defence sector, focused team initiatives are taken
under a campaign titled “UDAAN”
Some of the initiatives under “UDAAN” are:
• Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility
Initiatives
• Implementation of Theory of Constraints
The photograph is for representation purposes only, and does not purport
to be a photograph of the actual nuclear-powered submarine.
L&T has played a key role in various aspects of the design and
manufacture of India’s first Nuclear Powered Submarine
138
• Innovation
• Enterprise-wide Collaboration for Alignment with
Strategy (ECAS) & Employee Engagement
• LAKSHYA (Strategy perspective planning exercise)
‘Theory of Constraints’ based ‘Critical Chain Project
Management’ targets improving execution and delivery
performance. It uses a process to identify the constraints
and to focus the organisation and prioritise actions so as
to increase the flow.
Operational excellence measures such as productivity
monitoring, knowledge management across products,
optimum inventory management are undertaken for the
products under execution. Awareness of the need to
control working capital has been percolated across all levels
in Organisation and a stringent control is being exercised.
ECAS seeks to enhance Organisational Excellence through
a strategy of promoting Customer Intimacy and a culture
of cross functional collaboration. A Cross-functional
collaboration survey was conducted across locations to
take stock of collaboration levels.
The business strives for continuous improvement for
the protection and development of 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
like ‘Behaviour Based Safety’. Local councils to drive
employee engagement and operational excellence
initiatives at local level, employee engagement, feedback
and ideation workshops are conducted with the objective
of creating an innovative, involved and committed work
force. Team building workshops across various businesses
were organised to build a culture of camaraderie and
strengthen employee bonding. The business continued
to engage key business development personnel and
international business heads in select geographies.
Product & Technology Development Centers focus on
new product development and development of improved
manufacturing technology. These Centers are engaged
in enhancing technologies related to process industries,
manufacturing, mechanical systems, defence electronics
& embedded software solutions and submarine designs.
These Centers provide specific emphasis on welding
& metallurgy, composite material, heat transfer,
hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, stress
analysis, drives, microwave & RF, embedded systems,
high availability systems and military communication.
Significant initiatives have been taken by these Centers
to focus on new product development either through
internal development projects or through participation
in opportunities presented by “Make” & “Buy & Make -
Indian” programs or through collaborative programs with
National laboratories such as DRDO and ISRO.
The steering group, comprising the top management of
the business, plans, oversees & monitors all these initiatives
through regular review meetings.
Understanding its social responsibility, the business has
taken a unique environment-friendly initiative where,
instead of welcoming guests or felicitating individuals with
traditional flower-bouquets, tree plantation certificates
are used. This practice is now being increasingly adopted
across other units in the company.
Outlook:
Many of the projects deferred due to the global economic
crisis are expected to move forward in the coming years.
Middle East, Iran and South America offer good prospects
in the short to medium term. In the Process Plant Equipment
business, new investments in refineries are expected to be
low on account of low oil prices which are expected to
remain in range of $50-$80 per barrel for the coming 2-3
years. The business plans to tap business in North America
for growth in coming years. The business has recruited a
senior expat in North America to tap this market. Other
than refinery business, the business expects that around
6 thermal power plants in India and 5 more in South East
Asia would be finalised during the year 2015-16. The
business also expects 3 fertilizer plants to be launched
in the year 2015-16. Further to this, US-Iran discussion
seem to have concluded successfully and a large business
potential is seen in Iran. To start with, the business will
target the industries which do not fall under sanctions.
Generally, however, depreciated foreign currencies and
slow demand is expected to continue to exert pressure on
margins and competitiveness in the year 2015-16.
With clarifications given by Ministry of External Affairs, risk
and uncertainties of civil nuclear liability seem to have been
addressed through the proposed Indian Nuclear Insurance
Plan (INIP). This is expected to revive all Indian nuclear
programs based on domestic and foreign technologies.
In the long term, Russian, French & American plans to
setup nuclear plants in India, will generate substantial
business opportunities for both manufacturing shops and
LTSSHF. L&T has entered into strategic teaming agreement
/ MoU with the concerned foreign technology suppliers
and can look forward to a global presence in this industry.
Due to stiff competition in international markets, foreign
OEMs are looking at cost effective solutions through
plant upgrades & de-bottlenecking, and this opens up
opportunities for the business.
The ‘Make in India’ campaign has given a renewed thrust
to Indigenisation of Defence Sector with strong emphasis
on enhanced role for Private Sector. This is visible from
the pace and volume of clearance of new programs
(totaling >v 1.7 lakh crore) over the past 10 months, across
various sectors such as Naval Platforms, Artillery Systems,
Aircrafts & Helicopters. The various steps taken by the
Government, which include some increase in the Defence
budget, assurances by the top echelons towards quicker
decision making, continuing efforts towards streamlining
processes and procedures for ease of business and focus
on creation of level playing field for DPSUs, foreign
companies and Indian private industry, present a positive
outlook for business. Besides, there is also a strong focus
on defence exports through collaboration between DRDO,
DPSUs and Private Sector. Upcoming opportunities in the
defence sector in the medium term include Artillery & Air
Defence gun programs, Surface & Naval radars, Missiles
and Military communication programs. Over the years,
L&T has made strategic investments in segment-specific
infrastructure and technology, through in-house R&D &
product development, for the Defence sector. Significant
Technology & Product Development Initiatives are being
undertaken in selected fields. The business is“future
ready” to play a proactive role towards self-reliance in
strategically important areas.
The business envisages good market opportunities in
the medium to long term and is well positioned with
the necessary technology, largely home grown, state of
art manufacturing facilities, with a young and dedicated
work-force, all of this augurs well for the business to tap
upcoming business opportunities.
Major Subsidiary Companies
L&T SPECIAL STEELS AND HEAVY FORGINGS
PRIVATE LIMITED (LTSSHF):
LTSSHF is a joint venture (JV) between Larsen & Toubro (L&T)
and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL)
with L&T holding 74% equity stake. The JV Company has
set up a fully integrated manufacturing facility at Hazira,
Gujarat to produce ingots and finished forgings required
for critical equipment in nuclear power and hydrocarbon
industry, rotors in power industry, rolls in steel plants and
other heavy forgings for general engineering applications.
The setting up of LTSSHF constitutes a major strategic step
towards achieving India’s independence from imports of
heavy forgings and for ensuring timely supply of heavy
forgings for nuclear power plants. LTSSHF commenced
commercial operations from October1, 2012 with a
capacity to produce ingots weighing upto 300 MT each
and heavy finished forgings weighing up to 120 MT each.
The annual capacity for finished forgings is 40000 MT.
139
During the year, the Company has successfully produced
Special Steels in various grades, ingots weighing up to
200 MT - the largest size in the country and manufactured
heavy forgings required for critical equipment in refineries,
fertilizers, nuclear, power and other segments. A vertical
shaft furnace facility required for manufacture of rotors
has been commissioned. The company has been successful
in qualifying its facility to meet the requirement of several
customers and obtaining development orders. The
company has, however, faced fierce competition from
global established players. This is primarily due to excess
overall global capacity and a reduced demand. Focused
efforts are on for improving production processes and
manufacturing efficiencies in order to remain competitive.
Technical collaboration for a specified range, with Japan
Steel Works, world leaders in special forgings, has shown
good results. The company has undertaken additional
work involving value-addition beyond forging and is
actively exploring suitable opportunities in new areas such
as specialised & large medical equipment to tide over the
current difficult period. In the mid-term, with the imminent
release of Indian Nuclear projects and progress on the
Russian, French & American fronts for new Light Water
Reactors, LTSSHF envisages a much improved scenario
within the next 3 years
SPECTRUM INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED (SIPL):
SIPL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Larsen &Toubro Limited.
SIPL undertakes technology development and manufacture

value investments in the hydrocarbon sector, and revamp
prospects in certain ageing refinery projects offer good
potential for the facility which has already established itself
by producing a variety of complex equipment.
140
Electrical & Automation Business
India’s widest range of switchgear. L&T switchgear leads the way in the agricultural, industrial, building and commercial sectors
Overview:
The Electrical & Automation (E&A) business offers a wide
range of products and solutions for electricity distribution
and control in industries, utilities, infrastructure, buildings
and agriculture sectors. Its basket of offerings include Low
and Medium Voltage Switchgear components, Electrical
Systems, Marine Switchgear systems, Industrial & Building
Automation Solutions, Surveillance Systems, Energy
Meters and Protection Relays.
E&A business is supported by its five decades of experience
in in-house design & development that facilitates the
introduction of contemporary products and a high precision
tool manufacturing facility which is a pre-requisite for
high quality manufacturing. E&A runs six Switchgear
Training Centres across the country that impart training
and learning on good electrical practices to engineers,
consultants, contractors, technicians and electricians.
Currently, E&A business has manufacturing facilities at
Navi Mumbai (Mahape & Rabale), Ahmednagar, Vadodara,
Coimbatore and Mysuru in India as well as in Saudi Arabia,
Jebel Ali (UAE), Kuwait, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and
the UK.
The constituents of E&A business are two Strategic
Business Groups (SBGs) and designated subsidiaries. In
India, both the SBGs have under them two Business Units
(BUs) each. The Products SBG includes Electrical Standard
Products (ESP) and Metering & Protection System (MPS)
business units while Projects SBG comprises Electrical
Systems & Equipment (ESE) and Control & Automation
(C&A) business units respectively.
Business Environment
The year 2014-15 did not see any perceptible change at
the ground level in any segment. The Indian manufacturing
sector saw a decline from 18% to 17% of GDP according
to the new GDP data released by Government of India
and manufacturing exports remained stagnant at about
10 % of GDP.
141
The economics slow-down led to a financial crunch at many
industrial sectors due to which new plants / expansions
were not announced. Also, around 40% of the prospects
got deferred to next year. With lesser opportunities in the
market, competition became fiercer and led to lower price
realisation. To further compound difficulties, factors like
irregular rainfall and deficit monsoon impacted sales in the
agricultural segment.
Even the international market remained quite calm. With
the reduction in dependence by US on oil imports, oil prices
saw a steep drop that affected the oil & gas sector, leading
to postponement of CAPEX and OPEX cycles. Infra projects
have, however, seen an upswing in view of FIFA-2022 in
Qatar and EXPO-2020 in Dubai in the current year.Lots of
activities were seen in metro and airport projects in Middle
East countries.
With Ti and T-Era range of switchboard and improved
automation solutions, E&A business is better positioned
to get its share of orders. It is currently engaged in talks
with EPC contractors and is in the process of obtaining
approvals.
During the year 2014-15, ESP witnessed two developments
–separation with Yaskawa (for Drives business) and Hager
(Branding agreement for Air Circuit Breakers) leading to
a decline in sales.
Significant Initiatives:
In spite of the tough market condition, E&A was able
to maintain its growth trend for both revenue as well as
bottom line, surpassing industry average. The contributors
to this success were best manufacturing practices,
operational improvement initiatives and introduction of
new products throughout the year.
E&A continued to devote its resources and capabilities to
the research & developmental endeavors, which is one
of its core strengths. Its in-house design & development
capabilities are rated among the best in the industry.
The facilities at Powai–Mumbai, Ahmednager, Mysuru,
Mahape and Coimbatore are approved by the Department
of Scientific & Industrial Research, Ministry of Science &
Technology. These centers network with international
labs, testing centers and academic institutions for keeping
abreast of new technology trends and introducing those
for customers in different segments.
During the year, E&A business filed as many as 152 Patent,
14 Trademark, 5 Design and 5 Copyright applications in
India, along with 6 foreign applications (all patents; 5
PCT National Phase; 1 Convention application). This was
142
the 8th consecutive year of filing more than 100 patent
applications. E&A won the “Top Organisations for Designs”
award from The Indian Intellectual Property Office which
confers annual National Intellectual Property (IP) Awards
on outstanding innovators, organisations and companies
in the field of patent, designs, trademarks and geographic
indications on World IP day on 26th April every year.
The year saw production ramp up inmodular devices and
MCCBs (Molded case circuit breaker) at Ahmednagar
and Vadodara facilities respectively. With the start of
manufacturing of new range of bus bar trunking system
at Coimbatore, a cost effective product was added to the
product portfolio of ESP. The year also witnessed the closure
of E&A’s 6 decades-old manufacturing facility at Powai and
shifting of the same to a world class facility in Mahape,
Navi Mumbai. There was a major thrust on extensive sales
promotion activities like seminars, technology conclaves,
road shows, mass media campaign and stockists’ shop
up-gradation etc. The training efforts of the business also
got a boost through higher participation at its six training
centers.
MPS introduced new single phase meters ‘Alpha’ & ’Alpha
Plus’, Single Phase Meter with ZigBee radio used in AMR
system,Cl.1 Whole Current Meter with IR (Infra-Red)
communication port, Over current & Earth fault Relay with
RS-485 port. During the year 2014-15, MPS received a
prestigious order from Tata Power to supply 5000 nos. 1
Phase Meter with LPR (Low Power Radio Modem), which
when completed would be India’s largest mesh network.
MPS provided the required support to Tata Power for
installation of first 500 meters.
E&A could improve its profitability despite tight market
conditions primarily because of better product mix,
subdued material prices and operation efficiencies. In spite
of best efforts to contain customer outstanding, the funds
employed by the business increased due to prevailing
liquidity situation.
During the year, E&A entered the Confederation of Indian
Industry (CII)’s list of Top 26 Most Innovative Companies
in India and was awarded during CII’s Industrial Innovation
Awards 2014. For Value Engineering (VE) efforts, E&A won
the Handa Golden Key Award instituted by Indian Value
Engineering Society (affiliated to SAVE International). E&A’s
Human Resource won 4 HR ACE Awards (Most Effective
People Development Intervention (1st Prize), Tech Champ
(1st Prize), Senior Level People Champion (1st Prize), Extra
Mile (3rd Prize)), CII National Award for HR Excellence for
PMC, Coimbatore and 2 Golden Globe Tiger Awards 2015
in the HR categories of – Best Mentoring Programme &
Best Change Management Initiative respectively at Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. MPS won as many as 24 Awards (9
Gold, 11 Silver, 4 Bronze & 1 Appreciation) at 5th Regional
QCFI (Quality Circle Forum of India) Convention 2015.
C&A won Bronze award for RAPDRP, executed for
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd.
(MSEDCL), at First Maharashtra State e-Governance
Function and was also ranked as #3 System Integrator
in Global Survey of System Integrator Giants 2014 by
Control Engineering. ESP team won the 1st prize for
Six Sigma project in Lean Six Sigma Excellence Awards
2014 (LSSEA ’14) organised by Symbiosis Centre
for Management & Human Resource Development
(SCMHRD) in the Manufacturing category. ESP’s QC
Circle at Ahmednagar Switchgear Works bagged the
3rd position at CII’s Maharashtra Quality Circle (QC)
competition held at Kolhapur. ESP’s Vadodara Switchgear
Works (VSW) received ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ from
the Office of the Chief Commissioner of Central Excise,
Customs & Service Tax, and Vadodara zone during the
award ceremony that coincided with Central Excise Day
2015. ESE’s manufacturing facility at Coimbatore won
the 3rd Prize at the 5S Excellence Award ceremony in
Manufacturing – Large Scale category - organised by CII,
Southern Region.
Outlook
With the new government at the center, positive sentiments
are seen in the domestic market. Government spending is
likely to increase in the coming years. An uptrend is also
seen in orders from electrical utilities which is expected
to grow by 15% in coming years. Utilities will continue
to explore new technology and pilots for new technology
will continue into the year 2016-17. E&A business also
sees improvement in demand from agro industries,
pharma, textile, cement & steel sectors. The Government’s
announcement for transforming 100 cities into smart cities
and focusing on Tier 2 and 3 cities holds good potential
for E&A business.
In the area of renewable energy, the Government has
significantly revised the solar energy generation target
to be achieved by 2022. This is an area of opportunity
for E&A.The new Government has given clearance to
many naval as well as coast guard projects. The defense-
offset clause applicable to India’s imported vessels and
submarines increases opportunities for suppliers like
E&A’s marine switchgear which offers complete electrical
& control solutions for warships & submarines under one
roof. Money scarcity is likely to continue in the coming
year as Government auctions would absorb a lot of money
from the monetary system. With Euro weakening over
USD, the competitor cost of imports will be cheaper in
domestic market, leading to fierce price competition.
Projects are expected to be deferred or delayed in both
Middle East and Malaysia due to drop in oil prices. All major
customers have announced or indicated huge reduction
in Opex and Capex. Social infrastructure projects like
hospitals and metro are, however, expected to continue
as planned. Metro projects in GCC are expected to add to
revenue only in the year 2016-17 but ground work is being
targeted in the current year to increase E&A’s chances of
success. A special task force team has been formed to work
specifically on metro/railway projects coming up in GCC.
The key role for this team would be to create a strategic
alliance with main contactors from the bidding stage and
working with them to tap into these opportunities.
The key to success in the year 2015-16 will be effective
implementation of business verticals and re-organisation
of marketing zones and territories to focus on large
product portfolio for ESP. The key focus areas will be retail
L&T’s new range of high-tech AC Drives for varied applications
Mumbai International Airport Network Operations Centre - powered
by L&T’s control and automation systems and expertise
143
and agricultural sectors in India. Another growth driver
would be venturing into new geographies like Myanmar,
Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia where economy looks
buoyant. E&A plans to introduce array of new products
such as AU range of final distribution products, 690V
MCCBs, Vacuum contactors, pre-paid/smart meters and
launch of full range of Enersys M and Ti distribution boards
catering to infrastructure segment in domestic as well as
international market which are expected to increase the
revenue contribution coming from new products.
Major Subsidiary Companies
TAMCO GROUP OF COMPANIES:
TAMCO is the leading manufacturer of Low and Medium
Voltage switchgear in South East Asia with manufacturing
facilities in Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. Its products
are widely used in power, oil & gas, construction and
manufacturing industries. Through extensive R&D and
advanced manufacturing technology, TAMCO has been
able to deliver high quality, safe, reliable and cost effective
products and solutions. Its strength lies in the flexibility
to develop and adapt products to meet customers’ needs
and, therefore, it has a high reference list across the globe.
The year 2014-15 was a year of mixed outcomes for
TAMCO. Though there were significant achievements like
getting recommended for the first 5 packages of Petronas
RAPID project, getting approval from ENA for supplying
to UK Utilities and developing a local BUMI partner for
quoting in TNB tenders, the performance of the group was
not satisfactory. The bottom line was significantly affected
on executing low margin orders, losses in Indonesia and
Australia subsidiaries in view of economic slowdown.
Fall in oil prices have led to a delay in oil & gas projects.
Added to this, the devaluation of the Euro has made the
European companies become more competitive. With
most manufacturers having excess capacities, there is a
price war to garner the available orders in the market.
Thus, the year 2015-16 looks to be a challenging year in
the Middle East, though prospects from utility companies
are likely to continue.
The key strategies for the year 2015-16 include reduction
in discretional costs and extensive value engineering
measure for material cost savings, improving operational
efficiency, launch of a new compact and cost effective
Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) & Ring Main Unit (RMU)
for various markets, getting approved by Saudi Electricity
Company and in Kuwait markets.
144
L&T ELECTRICAL & AUTOMATION FZE (LTEAFZE):
L&T Electrical & Automation FZE (LTEAFZE) is a 100%
subsidiary of L&T International FZE based in UAE. The
company provides Systems Integration solutions in the Oil
& Gas, Power, Water and Waste Water and Infrastructure
space like Airports, Hospitals, Stadiums and Transportation
segment like Metro and Rail. The solutions are centered
around Process Automation and Telecommunication
applications catering to customers / contractors in the
Middle East, Africa, CIS and Turkey markets. It has state-
of-the-art facility in Jebel Ali Free Zone and is accredited
with ISO 9001, 18001, 27001 and TUV for functional
safety.
The Company has had a below average year in terms of
achievements. The costs surpassed the estimation on the
projects, leading to a moderate bottom line, lower than
previous year. The plans are to be better prepared for the
variations in the costs on the project so as to maintain
sustainable performance.
The business outlook of the region presents a cautious but
optimistic approach. The slide in oil prices has resulted in
oil majors revisiting some of the investments and reducing
opex as well as cutting down on manpower to reduce
costs.
Projects on the drawing board, Front end engineering
drawing (FEED) stage have slowed down considerably.
Infrastructure projects have taken a big hit. Contractors
are delaying payments due to tightness of money supply
in the market. Oil & Gas projects will concentrate mainly
in off-shore and revamp to improve efficiency.
Projects announced in the infrastructure segment are likely
to continue, especially those that affect people at large
such as hospitals and metro projects. The key to success
would be focus on metro opportunities like Riyadh Metro,
Doha Metro, Oman Rail, technology tie ups and target
opportunities in brown field projects.
L&T ELECTRICALS AND AUTOMATION SAUDI ARABIA
COMPANY LIMITED, LLC (LTEASA):
L&T Electrical & Automation Saudi Arabia Company Limited
(LTEASA) is the result of a joint venture with Yusuf Bin
Ahmed Kanoo Group of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
It has set up a state-of-the-art integrated manufacturing
facility in Dammam to cater to the customers in and
around Saudi Arabia. The company offers complete range
of electrical systems and switchgear components in the
Saudi Arabia/ Middle East region in Low and Medium
Voltage categories, Pre-fabricated/Packaged Substations,
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) panels and Automation
solutions.
The joint holding with Kanoo Group is on the verge of
getting dissolved with TAMCO Group acquiring the stakes
of the JV partner. The necessary Government approval has
been sought and received around the close of financial
year. This will entail a fresh Board constitution, and change
in all statutory records to reflect such change in ownership
in the Company during the year 2015-16.

Significant Initiatives:
L&T Hydrocarbon has institutionalised risk management
processes by implementing risk management policy
and guidelines, incorporating global best practices and
procedures along with quantitative tools and techniques.
The Risk management process is aimed at identification,
assessment, monitoring and mitigation of risks from pre-
bid to execution/close out of the project. Risk management
committee periodically reviews the risks and advises on the
mitigation measures.
The major challenges like tight work schedule, technical
complexities, growing competition, newer geographies,
forex variation, claims management and staffing of key
project personnel are mitigated through specific actions
like operational excellence initiatives, alliances, cost
optimisation, improved customer intimacy, compliance
with stringent HSE standards, proactive forex hedging,
strong contract & claims management and identification
of key personnel & talent at pre-bid stage.
All projects undergo a well-structured pre-bid risk review
process by risk management committee at business
and at corporate level as per well-defined authorisation
limits. The process involves a detailed assessment of risks
and deliberation on mitigation measures by the Risk
Management Committee and risk reviews of on-going
projects at regular intervals. Project managers/Project team
members also undergo 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.

mechanism is an important pillar of corporate governance. It
has established internal control mechanism commensurate
with the size and complexity of its business. Internal control
manual provides structured framework for identification,
rectification, monitoring and reporting of internal control
weaknesses in the Company. The Company also follows
well documented Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
for critical business processes. The operating effectiveness
of various controls is periodically tested by external parties
and deficiencies, if any are promptly rectified.
L&T Hydrocarbon has a unique mix of experienced
professionals and young dynamic passionate individuals
working in various disciplines. HR efforts are targeted
to ensure that the right talent is sourced, selected,
trained and deployed across the organisation. A number

Outlook:
The new government regime in India, has laid the policy
framework for realising strong growth in the coming
years by focusing on key pillars of Infrastructure creation
to achieve sustainable 7-8% GDP growth p.a. With China
slowing down, already certain global agencies have forecast
that India could become the fastest growing economy
in the year 2015-16. The gradual pick-up in on-ground
implementation of the above measures is expected to
result in increased opportunities for L&T Hydrocarbon in
the year 2015-16.
In Upstream sector, ONGC is expected to continue with
new project awards, notwithstanding the recent fall in
crude oil prices. Also, E&P companies in select geographies
like Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and Thailand are expected
to continue with their planned capex investments.
L&T Hydrocarbon is actively pursuing opportunities with
Saudi Aramco for their “Maintain Potential Facilities -
Long Term Agreement (LTA)” program which will provide
visibility of continuous projects awards in medium to long
term. L&T Hydrocarbon is also building up competencies in
Brownfield Projects to move up the value chain. As part of
de-risking strategy, L&T Hydrocarbon is actively developing
relationships with private sector customers.
In the Mid & Downstream sector, with fall in crude prices
and consequent reduction in under-recoveries, Indian
Refiners have planned expansion and clean fuel projects.
L&T Hydrocarbon is witnessing a number of exciting
opportunities in LNG Terminals, petrochemical plants &
refinery up-gradations. Fertiliser sector is also witnessing
a revival with planned investment of over v 40000 crore
in next four years.
In International markets, the current oil price scenario
has resulted in oil related projects being kept on hold.
Significant EPC awards are, however, expected in the
Gas sector in the coming year. United Arab Emirates
has planned several Gas development projects driven
by investments by state-owned companies – ADCO
and ADGAS. Oman has continued its investments and
offers good opportunities in downstream projects. Saudi
Arabia has embarked upon a program to develop its
unconventional gas reserves which will provide a number
of opportunities for L&T Hydrocarbon. Kuwait is emerging
as a stable, business- friendly destination with a fast
moving economy. With lower break even costs, Kuwait has
capacity to invest further even in this downturn and has
ambitious plans to increase oil production from 3 million
barrels per day (bpd) to 4 million bpd by 2020 which will
provide L&T Hydrocarbon with a number of opportunities
in Gathering Centres, Booster Stations, Central Gas
Utilisation Project with associated infrastructure.

Information Technology Business
L&T Infotech’s global headquarters in Mumbai
Overview:
Information Technology business forms part of the IT
& Technology Services segment of Larsen & Toubro.
Information Technology business is housed in a wholly
owned subsidiary viz. Larsen & Toubro Infotech Limited
(“L&T Infotech”). L&T Infotech’s business is classified
under two business Clusters ‘Industrials’ and ‘Services’:
• The ‘Industrials’ Cluster leverages the parent Company’s
existing strengths and heritage to cater to manufacturing
plants, establishments including wholesale, retail sale of
products and establishments dealing with Energy and
Utilities. This cluster also houses horizontals of SAP,
Oracle, Enterprise Integration, as well as Manufacturing
Execution Systems. Horizontals are responsible to serve
clients across both Clusters.
Business Environment:
Indian IT-BPM industry saw the export market at ~USD
100 billion in the year 2014-15, recording 13.1% growth
in constant currency over last year. Growth in reported
currency is estimated at 12.3%. Engineering & R&D and
product development segment is the fastest growing
at 13.2%, driven by higher value-added solutions from
existing players and expansion of the GIC landscape.
Digital solutions around SMAC (Social, Mobility, Analytics
& Cloud)– upgrading legacy systems to be SMAC enabled,
greater demand for ERP, CRM, mobility and user experience
technologies is driving growth in IT services. Infrastructure
outsourcing and software testing segment also outpaced
the industry growth rate.
• The ‘Services’ Cluster focuses on Banking, Financial
Services, Insurance, Media & Entertainment, Travel &
Logistics, and Healthcare. This cluster houses Testing
horizontal.
The year also witnessed hyper-growth in the technology
start-up and product landscape and India is already ranked
as the 4th largest startup hub in the world with over 3100
startups in the country.
154
Exports to US, the largest market, grew above industry
average, aided by an economic revival and higher
technology adoption. Demand from Europe remained
strong during the first half of the year, but softened during
the second half due to currency movements and economic
challenges. Manufacturing, Utilities and Retail growth
remained strong as clients increase discretionary spend
on customer experience, digital, analytics, ERP updates
and improving overall efficiency.
In the year 2015-16, NASSCOM expects the industry to
add revenues of USD 20 billion to the existing industry
revenues of USD 146 billion. Export revenues for the year
2015-16 is projected to grow by 12-14% and reach USD
110-112 billion. Domestic revenues (including ecommerce)
for the same period is likely to grow at a rate of 15-17%
percent and is expected to reach USD 55-57 billion during
the year.
Some of the key trends which are expected to drive
industry growth are as follows:
• Infrastructure Management Services (IMS): Traditional
IMS would remain, however, cloud based IMS and
Automation would bring the growth in this segment.
• Digital: Digital is the new Buzz word especially in the
Domestic market. Prime Minister’s Digital India plan,
Smart cities Initiatives are opening a lot of opportunities
for the IT industry.
• Internet of Things (IoT): IoT is the key to Digital world.
It would lead to all physical devices being connected,
which would have numerous business benefits across
industries. IDC forecasts that the worldwide market for
IoT solutions will grow from USD 1.9 Trillion in 2013 to
USD 7.1 Trillion in 2020.
• Newer Delivery models: Digital, IoT, Automation, SMAC
are not only disrupting what IT industry offers, but also
how it is offered. Newer technologies are leading to
newer delivery models. Many players are trying different
delivery models like Factory model.
• Growth from Emerging markets: US and Europe have
traditionally been the largest IT markets. In the last few
years, however, share of Emerging markets is slowly
increasing, with significant contribution in incremental
IT growth.
Business environment of IT BPM industry witnesses multiple
risks and challenges such as geography concentration,
over dependence on a few business verticals and clients.
Downturn or slower recovery in the specific geography
or business vertical or downsizing by the key clients
may have adverse impact on the prospects. The major
business being international, change in the legislations
of foreign countries, restrictions on offshore outsourcing
and stringent immigration regulations governing on-site
execution of contracts pose considerable challenges to
Indian IT companies. External unforeseen circumstances
and exchange rate risks are inherent in the business
environment. Intense competition and employee attrition
are other major risks being tackled by the IT industry. Legal
& Contractual Compliance assumes major importance in
execution. Increasing adoption of Automation technologies
for Application and Infrastructure Management services,
poses a serious threat particularly to India based players for
whom labour arbitrage will no more be a differentiating
feature with cost savings of the order of 40% to 70%
possible through automation.
Significant Initiatives:
In rapidly changing global landscape, businesses are
struggling to create sustainable advantage relative to
the competition, thereby requiring different types of
expertise, apart from technology. Solution demand is more
Industry-specific. L&T Infotech’s strategic investments in
people (talent acquisition, development & retention),
technology and domain-specific solution labs are critical
to its on-going business proposition. The company has
identified the following thrust areas to achieve its near
and medium term objectives:
• Digital: Digital Transformation is the way organizations
are changing their business models, to meet customer
expectations & achieve operational efficiency, in an
environment where the lines between the physical &
digital worlds are blurred. L&T Infotech’s digital offerings
are branded as MOSIAC. MOSAIC stands for Mobility,
Social, Analytics, Internet-of-things, and Cloud.
• A few of its Digital offerings include:
• Digital Transformation Consulting

Outlook:
The Business world today, is volatile, uncertain, complex
and ambiguous. Geo-political upheavals, and disruptions
in business models are driving customers to constantly
seek newer ways to run and grow their business. For
the Global technology industry, this serves as both an
opportunity and a challenge.
With sourcing services growing at 10% at a global level
and India leading with 55% market share, IT exports from
India are estimated to cross approx. USD 112 Billion in
2015-16, registering a growth of close to 14%. Industry
trends, however, will continue to play an important
role towards this. For e.g, with Oil prices at the current
levels, IT spend has been deeply impacted. While growth
opportunities would emerge from Transformation of
technological landscapes into new-age technologies
and markets outside of North America & Europe, Indian
IT players are also being challenged because of the
increasing shift from the labour-arbitrage model to that
of Automation & Robotics.
In alignment with global trends, L&T Infotech continues
to invest in Rest-of-the-world markets, where it is seeing
significant traction. South Africa and India have already
shown very positive trends while Middle East will be a
region to grow under the shadows of L&T, which has
significant presence there. L&T Infotech, besides building
competency in the Digital space, has also developed
significant capabilities in Automation and started
deploying them at clients’ landscapes. This will not only
mitigate competition risks, but will also help open doors
in both existing and new accounts.
L&T Infotech offers a clear understanding of social, mobile
and analytics technologies that can enable new business
capabilities and stir innovation, which results in sustained
innovation for its clients across the globe. In nutshell,
With the right focus provided in technology, geography
and leadership, the management is confident that
L&T Infotech has gathered the right momentum for 2015-
16 and beyond.

maintaining a focus on growing existing clients. Of its total
client base, 54 clients are Fortune 500 companies.
Business Environment:
The engineering services market is rapidly changing as
disruptive technologies are impacting the current paradigm.
With more than 30+ billion connected devices expected
in the next five years, the IoT/ M2M market is causing all
our clients to explore new ways to develop new products
and leverage new business models to monetise their
respective value chain. The shift to digital manufacturing,
3D printing, and virtual factory /modelling and innovative
and simplistic industrial designs is becoming real now.
As per Gartner, global spend in engineering services will
reach $1.4 trillion by 2020 and the total outsourcing spend
in engineering services will grow 3-4 times the rate of total
spend on engineering with a substantial contribution from
the emerging markets.
As technologies converge and find applications across
industries, mega trends impacting the outsourcing industry
are:
• Connectivity - Connected Cars, Connected Flights &
Connected medical Devices bring efficient performance
to the entire ecosystem
• Miniaturisation – Population explosion in fast
growing cities results in space and energy constraints.
Consequently, products need to reduce form factor and
reduce energy consumption.
• Localisation – User specific features suitable for local
markets.
• Digital Engineering – Simulation and modelling allows
design reviews before prototypes are created. This saves
costs, effort and time in the product development life
cycle.
• Software Led Differentiation – General purpose
industrial grade electronics has become very powerful
and allows development of software based features that
create the much need differentiation for products in the
market-place.
LTTS with its multi-disciplinary and multi-domain presence
has the advantage to leverage its best practices across
different industry verticals and is well poised to address
the business environment.
Significant Initiatives:
LTTS is riding the wave of change in technology markets
and adopting innovative solutions while building new
competencies. In order to traverse from Services to
Solutions trajectory, L&T Technology Services has initiated
Proofs of Concepts (POCs) and setup several labs to enable
growth in each of the key areas to drive innovation and get
technological advantage. New Centres of Excellence in the
areas of engineering analytics and power electronics and
focus on Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine
(M2M) has allowed LTTS to capitalise on these changes
and enable rapid growth.
LTTS has several alliances and industry partnerships some
of which include AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System
Architecture), National Instruments, Siemens, Dassault
Systems, PTC, and Texas instruments.
In 2014, LTTS was acknowledged amongst the four
leading global Engineering Research and Development
(ER&D) service providers in the Zinnov Consulting 2014
survey measured by specialisation, R&D practice maturity,
and innovation and IP eco-system linkages. The survey also
placed 6 of the company’s verticals in the leadership zone
and the Industrial Products vertical in the Leadership Zone
for the fourth time in a row. Gartner also recognised the
company as one of the key vendors to watch as an IoT,
SI and engineering service provider as well as one of the
few companies offering integrated energy management
solutions.
Awards and Accolades:
• LTTS, received the 2014 Excellence in Engineering
Services Award from Frost & Sullivan. Frost & Sullivan
recognised L&T Technology Services for its use of next
generation technologies for innovation and to increase
customer value in the area of engineering design.
• The company was also awarded the “Quality Excellence
Award in Product Development” by the National Quality
Excellence. These awards are instituted to encourage the
Quality competition and is aimed at giving recognition
to industries for best quality in product development.
• The company also won an award for Best Software
testers by Unicom at the World conference on next
generation testing.
During the year 2014-15, LTTS entered into a Joint Venture
with Thales Software India, the Indian subsidiary of Thales,
the global technology leader in aerospace, transportation
and defence and security markets. The majority stake
holding adds leverage to LTTS’s growing competencies
and expertise in high-end avionic software.
In order to expand its footprints within North America, the
company acquired Dell Engineering Services during the
Engineering services that enhance efficiencies and reduce costs
159
year. The strong complimentary capabilities of both the
organisations in Mechanical Design, Embedded Electronics,
and Manufacturing will add synergies while sharing a
number of relationships in multiple vertical segments
with key clients. The acquisition will also strengthen
LTTS’s global position in the USD 4 billion transportation
engineering research & development market and will help
widen its reach in with the new local delivery center in
North America.
Quality processes and projects at LTTS are benchmarked
and certified to ISO 9001, CMMI Level 5, AS 9100 C for
Aerospace projects and ISO 13485 for medical projects.
The professionals are the most important assets of the
Company. The Company believes that the quality and level
of services that these professionals deliver is highest in the
global engineering technology services industry and the
Company is committed to remain among the industry’s
leading employer. During the year, the Company added
(net) 321 employees and the closing headcount as of
March 31, 2015 was 9327.
Outlook
Though Global GDP growth in 2015-16 is expected to
be moderate, the global market for Engineering Research
& Development (ER&D) services is expected to defy the
economic downturn. Demand from sectors including
computing systems, medical devices, energy and
infrastructure is fuelling the ER&D market, and providers in
emerging economies, led by India, are poised to gain share
as multinational corporations seek to invest in innovation
and drive future growth.
Indian Engineering Service Providers (ESP) today have
embraced the global outsourcing model for better
growth prospects. With the R&D spend in various sectors
increasing in the coming years, the Indian ESPs have
good opportunities in the area of Automotive, Consumer
Software & Industrial Automation sectors. Outsourcing
is expected to increase in Consumer Electronics and
Semiconductor sectors. This opportunity along with the
strengths of the Indian ESPs like scalability of resources,
cost effectiveness, maturity in offshoring, senior leadership
engagement and design capabilities have resulted in
customers increasing responsibility and accountability of
the Indian ESPs. For Indian ESPs to move towards synergic
partnerships, these strengths coupled with the changing
business model trends like managed services and risk-
reward models will be the levers which will help grow
business.
Prospective growth for the outsourcing industry lies in
the upcoming and ever changing technology impacting
every sphere of human life. Key technology trends which
have a significant impact in the near future include mobile
internet, Internet of Things, Automation of knowledge
work, Cloud technology, Advanced robotics, Autonomous
& near-autonomous vehicles, Next-generations genomics,
Energy storage, Advanced materials, Advanced oil & gas
exploration & recovery, Renewable energy, etc.

business
• Implementation of automated rule- driven credit

Outlook:
Over the last one year, India’s new government took
several steps to unshackle binding growth constraints.
In particular, it cleared many infrastructure bottlenecks,
sped up decision-making, fast-tracked project clearances,
cut red tape and sorted out mining issues. Nevertheless,
several multilateral think tanks observe that the pace of
reforms will need to be stepped up to bridge the yawning
infrastructure gap, unlock private investments, make
Indian firms globally competitive and strengthen the
balance sheets of financial intermediaries. While there has
been some improvement in the economic environment,
a longer timeframe is expected for the revised policies,
legislation and regulation to translate into fresh capital
expenditure and new projects in several sectors.
L&T General Insurance
Overview
L&T General Insurance achieved a Gross Written Premium
(GWP) of v 344 crore (Previous Year v 270 crore) thereby
registering a growth of 28% over the previous year.
164
The company made significant foray into Private Motor
and Retail Health Insurance and its products have been
well received in the market. Motor remains the largest
contributor to the GWP with a share of 60%. Health
and other Commercial lines of business (primarily Fire
and Engineering) contributed 14% and 26% of the total
GWP respectively. L&T General Insurance has a pan India
presence with 15 branches.
Business Environment
General insurance industry (excluding specialised insurers
such as AIC and ECGC) reported a subdued growth of
10.80% in GWP from v 72853 crore in the year 2013-
14 to v 80696 crore in the year 2014-15. The growth
in premium for private players has slowed down to
11.3% in year 2014-15 against 15% in the previous year,
whereas for the PSUs, the growth has remained constant
at 10.3%. In spite of the slowdown in growth rate, which
can be attributed to subdued auto sales and lack of new
infrastructure projects in the year 2014-15, the private
players have retained their market share of 47%.
Along with a lower top line growth, the year was marked
by two major natural catastrophes - the Hudhud cyclone
that hit the Andhra coast and floods in the Kashmir Valley,
which negatively impacted the profitability of the industry
for the year 2014-15.
Motor and Health lines of business are the fastest growing
segments and account for 46% and 24% of the industry’s
GWP respectively.
Significant Initiatives
The extensive use of the robust technology platform
coupled with improvement in process efficiencies resulted
in better productivity levels for the Company. This will
further help the Company to optimize its operating costs
in future.
Outlook:
Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2015 was passed
by both houses of the Parliament in March 2015 and
a number of regulatory changes are expected from
IRDAI. Low insurance penetration in terms of premium
percentage to GDP, growth in urbanisation and further
economic recovery is expected to improve the growth of
industry in the year 2015-16. Health insurance is expected
to demonstrate a strong growth due to demographics,
provision for specialised players and government’s focus
on health insurance and Motor insurance is expected to
maintain its leading position amongst various segments.
L&T General Insurance is poised to leverage the
opportunities on the back of its operational efficiencies
supported by its state-of-the-art technology platform.

Business Environment:
The Indian Infrastructure sector is likely to get major
boost from the Government’s focus on development of
infrastructure in India. While the recovery in the sector
is likely, it would be gradual as majority of players are
still burdened with highly leveraged balance sheets and
stalled or slow moving projects. Furthermore, if structural
constraints like uncertainty in land acquisition, delays in
approvals, and inadequacy of long term funding avenues
are not tackled swiftly, the project implementation on
the ground may not gather momentum, thereby delaying
recovery in the infrastructure sector. In addition, aggressive
bidding in the past and inability or limited ability to raise
equity for BOT projects have also impacted viability of
infrastructure projects. Difficulty in achieving financial
closure and overall weak macro-economic environment
has also reduced the risk appetite of developers towards
new projects. With the political stability, sharper focus on
infrastructure development and improvement in economy,
166
new projects announcements by both the public and
private sector are likely to pick-up in coming years.
During the year 2014-15, many steps have been taken
to improve funding avenues to the infrastructure sector.
The key policy measures include easing of FDI norms for
Construction, Railways, and Defence, liberalisation of ECB
policy, and providing incentives to promote InvITs. RBI
has also taken multiple steps to ease funding availability
to infrastructure project. Some of the key ones include
providing incentives to banks in the form of exemption
from CRR/SLR for long term bonds raised to lend to
infrastructure sector, flexibility in refinancing norms for
infrastructure projects. Besides, the Union Budget has also
allocated higher funds towards public sector infrastructure
projects.
In the Union Budget for 2015-16, the capital outlays
for roads, and railways have been increased by v 140.3
billion and v 100.5 billion respectively which along with
significantly higher road cess will enable higher public
spending towards these infrastructure projects. In total,
investment in infrastructure is proposed to be increased
by v 700 billion in FY 2015-16 (BE) over FY 2014-15 (RE).
Recognizing the need of reviving private sector participation
in infrastructure projects, the Union Budget has proposed
rebalancing of risks in PPP projects with Government
taking up major risks, appointing an Expert Committee
for analysing the possibility of and replacing multiple prior
permissions with a pre-existing regulatory mechanism, and
rationalizing dispute resolution mechanism.
In order to improve funding options, alternate funding
sources like Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDFs) and Alternate
Investment Funds (AIFs) were introduced in the past to tap
into other source of savings like Insurance and Pension
Funds so as to accelerate and enhance the flow of long
term funds. In this regard, the recent initiative in the form
of Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) may help in
channelising long term funds into the sector and in releasing
developers’ capital for further deployment in new projects.
Moreover, InvITs could play a vital role in providing wider
long-term refinance avenue thereby providing headroom
for banks for new funding requirements.
To make highway projects financially viable and attract
large number of bidders, the ministry of road, transport
and highways has suggested a hybrid model wherein the
National Highway Authority of India would finance up to
40 per cent of the total project cost. As per the model, 40
per cent of the total project cost (TPC) is to be provided
by the authority (NHAI) to the concessionaire (highway
developer) during the construction period in the form
of ‘Construction Support’. The concessionaire would be
required to bear the balance 60 per cent of the project
cost through a combination of its equity contribution and
debt raised from the market. In the past aggressive bidding
and faulty traffic projections have led to many projects
becoming financially unviable. Under the proposed model,
the total cost for the concessionaire (highway developer)
would be only up to 60 per cent of the total project cost.
NHAI has also come up with implementation of RFID
technology, for automation of toll collections.
congestion at toll plazas and to enable seamless movement
of vehicles on the countrywide national highways. L&T IDPL
is among the first Concessionaires to fully exploit the new
Electronic Toll Collection system across all SPVs/Projects.
Now the commuter will be able to pass through L&T IDPL’s
as well other concessionaires stretch without stopping at
toll plazas with a single unique RFID TAG/Account.
Significant Initiatives:
L&T IDPL has set up internal task forces and project
monitoring groups to identify, prioritise & resolve challenges
faced by certain projects in the roads portfolio. L&T IDPL
has also made significant strides to improve performance
by help of steps such as arresting leakage of traffic on
Project roads by improving awareness about reduction
in travel time by usage of toll roads and partnering with
local Authorities to close evading routes to Toll Plazas.
L&T IDPL is working with Gujarat State Government to
devise innovative solutions within ambit of Concession
Agreements to improve operational performance of State
Government road projects in Gujarat. Results of these
initiatives are expected to bear fruit from the year 2015-16.
Road Sector overview:
During the year 2012-13, the company had signed
concession agreement for execution of two projects in the
state of Maharashtra. Delay in land handing over, however,
resulted in delay of project implementation works which
in turn resulted in substantial increase of project cost. To
de-risk impact of such delays, termination agreements
were signed on 22nd September 2014 for L&T East West
Tollway Limited and L&T Great Eastern Highway limited in
the state of Maharashtra.
Recently, NHAI established a central clearing house for
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) in an effort to reduce
The unique RFID TAG affixed to the vehicle windshield
will be scanned by RFID reader mounted on ETC lane at
toll plazas and toll will be deducted from their account
automatically. The new ETC system mitigates the risk
associated with toll violation, leakages and Operation &
Maintenance expense
During the year, the two road subsidiaries achieved Partial
COD (Commercial Operations Date) - II for Pimpalgaon
Nashik Gonde (PNG) in March 2014 and Devihalli Hassan
(DHTL) in December 2014. This has led to an increase in
Total Revenue Collections from Road Projects. Appointed
date was declared for two projects: Deccan Tollways (DTL)
in April 2014 & Sambalpur Rourkela (SRTL) in June 2014.
Construction work is underway in full swing in both the
Projects.
Construction has been completed for Krishnagiri-
Walajahpet road project and Samakhiali-Gandhidham road
project and accordingly assets have been capitalised.
Major maintenance works were completed for five road
projects i.e., Vadodara-Bharuch Tollway, Panipat Elevated
corridor, Western Andhra Tollway (Jadcherla-Kothakota),
Interstate Road Corridor (Palanpur-Swaroopganj) and
Krishnagiri-Thopur Tollway. This enhances the asset
quality, usability and riding quality of the roads.

The total revenue from Toll Operations during the year
2014-15 aggregated to v 1177 crore as against the
corresponding figure for the year 2013-14 of v 936 crore
recording a growth of 25.7% over the previous year.
L&T IDPL had entered into a Share Purchase Agreement
on 16th May, 2014, for sale of its equity stake in M/s.
Dhamra Port Company Ltd. The divestment was completed
in June 2014.
Larsen & Toubro Limited and Canada Pension Plan
Investment Board (CPPIB) have entered into a definitive
investment agreement in June 2014. The agreement was
made between L&T and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
CPPIB, for investment into L&T Infrastructure Development
Projects Limited. CPPIB, through a subsidiary, has made
an initial investment of v 1000 crore in L&T IDPL on
December 16, 2014 by way of subscription to compulsorily
convertible preference shares.
A second tranche of v 1000 crore or such higher amount as
may be agreed between L&T IDPL and CPPIB’s subsidiary,
will be invested after twelve months from the date of
the initial investment, subject to any required regulatory
approvals at such time. This is the first direct private
investment by a Canadian pension fund into an Indian
infrastructure development company.
The Company had issued Commercial Papers during the
year and also Letters of Credit to vendors/contractors
providing goods/services for the Sambalpur-Rourkela
road project, Kudgi transmission line project and major
maintenance works. During the year, credit ratings for 6
projects were enhanced based on growth in toll collections.

Odisha
Outlook:
The recovery in the infrastructure sector is expected to
be gradual and would be linked with on-ground impact
of the policy measures as well as availability of funding.
With high leverage, ability to raise funds via stake sale in
subsidiaries, monetisation of assets, or dilution of equity
will be key in improving liquidity and capital structure of
infrastructure companies that have been aggressive in
the BOT space in past. The sector would be raising funds
through equity route like Qualified Institutional Placement
(QIP)/Rights issue/Warrants/Preference shares or sale of
stake at the SPV or holding company level to reduce overall
indebtedness at the Group level. The likely reversal in the
interest rates cycle would also provide some respite.
L&T IDPL expects an increase in its revenues by achieving
COD in L&T BPP Tollway Limited and continuous efforts to
curb violations & diversions on existing projects. L&T IDPL
also expects bidding activity to pick up in the sector after
necessary reforms are undertaken by the Government to
improve the business environment and fix policy issues. This
intermediate time provides an opportunity to L&T IDPL to
strengthen its portfolio, financial footing & prepare itself in
time for next round of project awards by Government on
BOT mode. L&T IDPL is well placed to increase its presence
in the PPP transportation infrastructure and transmission
line sector.

Thermal Power Projects – Nabha Power Limited (NPL)
NPL is a 2X700 MW supercritical thermal power plant at
Rajpura, Punjab. This is the first development project and
the first power plant to be owned & operated by L&T.
Entire power generated from this plant is contracted with
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (erstwhile PSEB)
for a period of twenty five years under a Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA). The plant is built on super critical
technology of Mitsubishi, Japan. It is the first ‘made in
India’ supercritical power plant to be commissioned and
made operational in the country.
The plant sources its fuel from South Eastern Coalfields
Ltd. (Subsidiary of Coal India Limited) under a 20 year Fuel
Supply Agreement (FSA). The company has also secured
approvals to arrange coal from alternative sources to
make up for any shortage in supply of coal under the FSA.
Bhakra-Nangal distributary is the perennial source of water
for the plant under an allocation by the state irrigation.
The plant is operated by an in-house experienced team of
operations and maintenance professionals
First unit of 700 MW had already commenced commercial
operations in Feb – 2014 and the second unit of 700 MW
commenced operations during the year in July 2014.
The power plant is running successfully for over a year
with a technical availability of over 90% in first year of
operations.
Business Environment:
The year 2014-15 continued to witness challenges in the
areas of coal supply and regulatory uncertainty. Lack of
adequate rail infrastructure in the country also posed
challenges in fuel supply chain.
Power Generation Capacity additions have accelerated
in the recent years which in turn have propelled the
demand for coal. As a result, despite an increase in the
coal production, there is still significant dependence on
imported coal. Fast tracking of coal block allocations
and environment clearances are expected to augment
domestic production. Development of ancillary sectors
such as railways to support the capacity additions is also
a key factor.
This year has witnessed a balanced view being taken on
various industry issues by regulators across the country.
Positive initiatives such as pass through of imported coal
costs, new bidding guidelines, accelerated clearances,
regular tariff hikes etc. were seen.
Significant Initiatives:
• Second Unit of 700 MW was commissioned and declared
commercial operations on July 10, 2014 after successful
completion of necessary tests under the PPA. First unit
had already commenced operations in the year 2013-14.
169
• Over 90% off take of linkage coal under the Fuel supply
Agreement achieved
• The company undertook significant initiatives to source
coal from alternative sources to make-up for any
intermediate shortfall in linkage coal with the approval
of state regulator
• 100% of dry fly ash disposal achieved
• Refinancing the long term debt in its existing projects
with a view to significantly reduce the interest cost
• CSR initiatives in the area of development of village
infrastructure, education, skill building, enhancing
gender ratio, health and environment were implemented
during the year
• The company has built a committed team of professionals
experienced in the field of operations and maintenance
of power plants. Special emphasis is given to training
and development of the workforce through various
training programs. In addition to the competency
building programs, the company also focusses on soft
skills and leadership development.
Outlook:
Increased private participation in the power sector is
expected to play an important role in future capacity
additions. Lower per capita consumption promises robust
long term demand. On the fuel side, coal production
capacity is expected to further increase by the year
2016-17.
Punjab is power surplus for 7-8 months in a year. With
energy demand expected to grow and no further capacity
additions being planned, the system may be deficit again
in the medium term.
Maximising the plant availability, improving operational
efficiency, settling the regulatory issues, ensuring adequate
fuel availability, cost competitiveness and focus on
construction activities for its Singoli-Bhatwari hydel project
are identified as the thrust areas for the year 2015-16.
L&T Shipbuilding Limited:
Kattupalli Port Operations
L&T Shipbuilding Limited is a joint venture between L&T
and Tamilnadu Industrial Development and Corporation
Limited (TIDCO) wherein L&T holds 97% and TIDCO holds
3% in the company to develop shipyard cum minor port
complex. Both the shipyard and the port have SEZ status.
Kattupalli port at Chennai has a container terminal with
two container berths.
Business Environment:
India has 13 major ports and about 200 non-major ports.
Cargo traffic, which was 976 million metric tonnes (MMT)
in 2012 is expected to reach 1758 MMT by 2017. The
Indian ports and shipping industry plays a vital role in
sustaining growth in the country’s trade and commerce.
India currently ranks 16th among maritime countries, with
a coastline of about 7517 km. Around 95 per cent of
India’s trade by volume and 70 per cent by value takes
place through maritime transport, according to the
Ministry of Shipping.
The Indian government continues to support the ports
sector. It has allowed foreign direct investment (FDI) of
up to 100 per cent under the automatic route for projects
regarding construction and maintenance of ports and
harbors. It has also facilitated a 10-year tax holiday to
enterprises engaged in developing, maintaining and
operating ports, inland waterways and inland ports.
During the year, Kattupalli Port operations continued to
remain affected owing to lack of export connectivity on
customs side due to delays in the necessary government
approvals which led to the traffic in the port remaining
very subdued. The relevant export connectivity approval
has since been issued in January 2015 for the EXIM trade
allowing the Container Freight Station (CFS) at Kattupalli
to select Kattupalli port for exports as well as imports.
Kattupalli port achieved the milestone of handling 100000
tons of Steel project cargo at the facility since it started
Break Bulk Operations in April 2014.
Outlook
The shipping lines and other CFSs have now begun to
seriously evaluate Kattupalli Port for EXIM trade. Given the
issues of traffic congestion at Chennai port, the prospects
for Kattupalli port are quite encouraging. A few shipping
lines have already commenced their operations through
Kattupalli Port while many more enquiries are coming in.
During the year 2015-16, Kattupalli port is targeting to
achieve a volume of between 3,00,000 to 4,00,000 TEUs.
There is a strong interest from Roll on Roll off (RoRo-
Import/Export of cars) operators to shift to Kattupalli port.
Kattupalli port has received all clearances to handle RoRo
cargo in March 2015 and is targeting to achieve a volume
of 6000 cars per month in the year 2015-16.
170
The Order book as at 31st March 2015 stood at v 232649 crore
providing strong revenue visibility for the next couple of
years. Building & Factories, Heavy Civil Infrastructure and
Transportation Infrastructure businesses contributed major
part of the order book. The order book registered a growth
of 28% over the previous year. The international orders
constitute 26% of the order book as at 31st March 2015.
Revenue from Operations
The consolidated revenue at v 92762 crore for the year
2014-15 registered a growth of 8% over the previous year.
Infrastructure, Information Technology & Technology Services
(IT & TS), Financial Services and Realty businesses recorded
healthy y-o-y growth. The overall revenue growth at group
level was moderated by decline in revenue recorded by
Power, Metallurgical & Material Handling, Heavy Engineering
and Hydrocarbon segments operating with a reduced Order
Book in investment constrained sectors. Lower industrial
demand impacted sales by Electrical & Automation and
Industrial Machinery businesses.
Revenue from International business constitutes 28% of
total revenue of the Group.
Financial Review 2014-15
I. L&T CONSOLIDATED
A. PERFORMANCE REVIEW
As at March 31, 2015, L&T Group comprises of 130
subsidiaries, 11 associates and 18 joint venture companies.
Most of the group companies are strategic arms of project
and product businesses of L&T. They provide reach to different
segments in the value chain of the respective businesses
and also access to new geographies. Certain distinct service
businesses such as Information Technology, Technology
Services, Developmental Projects and Financial Services are
housed in the subsidiary and associate companies of the
Group. L&T Finance Holdings Limited is the listed subsidiary
of L&T with a number of group companies under its umbrella
operating in the financial services sector.
The Company has exercised the option as per clause 41 of
the Listing Agreement and started publishing consolidated
financial results on a quarterly basis effective April 1, 2014.
Consolidated financial reporting on a quarterly basis provides
superior quality of information of the Group’s performance
to the various stakeholders at large.
The Group garnered fresh orders totaling to v 155367 crore
for the year 2014-15 registering significant growth of
22% over the previous year, despite challenging business
environment. Increase in order inflow was driven by domestic
orders. Power Transmission and Distribution, Power,
Metallurgical & Material Handling and Heavy Engineering
businesses contributed to the order inflow growth during
the year. Infrastructure segment contributed to 55% of
the total order inflow. The Company, while focusing on
the improving domestic market, was selective in pursuing
international opportunities and this is reflected in the lower
share of international orders which stood at 25% of the total
order inflow in 2014-15 compared to 38% in the previous
year.
Operating Cost and PBDIT
Manufacturing, Construction and Operating (MCO) expenses
at v 67294 crore for the year 2014-15 increased by 7.5%
over the previous year. These expenses mainly comprise cost
of construction & other materials, subcontracting expenses,
manpower costs of IT&TS businesses and interest expenses
of Financial Services business segment. On a relative basis,
the MCO expenses reduced from 73.5% to 73.2% of net
revenue aided to an extent by benign commodity prices
during the year.
171
Other Income
Other income for the year 2014-15 amounted to v 1007 crore
as against v 982 crore for the previous year. This mainly
consists of profit on sale of current investments and interest
& dividend income from treasury investments.
Finance cost
The interest expense for the year 2014-15 at v 2851 crore
was lower by 9% in comparison to v 3138 crore for the
previous year due to borrowing cost capitalisation and
cessation of interest cost of a Power generating subsidiary
upon commissioning of its plant during the year. The average
borrowing cost for the year 2014-15 was maintained at
9.9% p.a. through effective refinancing and judicious mix
of short and long term borrowings.
Exceptional Item
Exceptional item in the Statement of Profit & Loss represents
gain of v 348 crore on divestment of the Company’s part-
stake in L&T Finance Holdings Limited (L&T-FHL) and sale of
a strategic investment by a subsidiary company.
Profit after Tax
The overall consolidated Profit after Tax (PAT) at v 4765 crore
for the year 2014-15 declined by 2.8% over previous year
largely due to the operating losses incurred by Hydrocarbon
business in its international jobs and also due to lower profits
earned by Power, Metallurgical & Material Handling and
Heavy Engineering businesses.
Earnings per share
Consequently, Consolidated Earnings per Share (EPS)
including exceptional and extraordinary items for the year
2014-15 at v 51.33 showed a decline of 3.1% over the
previous year.
The Staff expenses for the year 2014-15 at v 7922 crore
increased by 11% as compared to the previous year mainly
on account of pay revisions, payroll cost of new ventures and
increase in marketing staff cost of the service businesses.
The total group manpower strength as on March 31, 2015
is 97466, which includes manpower in the operation of the
IT & TS businesses at 26570. The total group manpower was
91477 as on March 31, 2014, which included manpower
strength of 24052 in operation of IT & TS.
Sales and administration expenses for the year 2014-15
at v 5453 crore increased to 5.9% of net revenue mainly
due to warranty provisions, increase in mobilization costs
for execution of new large projects in the Middle East and
statutory provisions against non-performing and standard
assets of Financial Services business.
Profit before depreciation, interest and tax (PBDIT) for the
year increased to v11336 crore, reflecting 5.6% increase
over the previous year. The EBITDA margin for the year at
12.3% is lower by 30 basis points as compared with the
previous year on the back of operating losses of Hydrocarbon
business.
Depreciation & Amortisation charge
Depreciation and amortisation charge for the year 2014-15
at v 2623 crore reflects increase of 81% over 2013-14 during
which v 664 crore was written back towards amortisation
charge. Depreciation for the year 2014-15 also includes
additional charge due to revision in useful lives of assets
as required by Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2014 and
the impairment of two road projects surrendered during the
year.
172
Net Worth and Returns
The Net Worth of the shareholders at v 40909 crore as at
March 31, 2015 increased by v 3197 crore as compared to
the position as on March 31, 2014.
Return on Net Worth (RONW) for the year 2014-15 declined
to 12.1% as against 13.7% for the previous year due to
lower Profit after Tax during the year.
Liquidity & Gearing
Cash accruals from operations at v 6315 crore constituted
the major source of funds during 2014-15 and registered an
improvement over the previous year aided by relatively lower
allocation to net working capital. Borrowings during the year
(net of repayments) amounted to v 4833 crore mainly related
to Developmental projects business. During the year, L&T
IDPL, raised v1000 crore through subscription by Canada
Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) in compulsorily
convertible preference shares marking the first direct private
investment by a Canadian pension fund into an Indian
infrastructure development company. There has been a net
cash inflow of v 1805 crore mainly on account of sale of
stake in subsidiaries / joint ventures during the year 2014-15.
Dividend and treasury income contributed v 471 crore to the
cash generation during the year 2014-15.
The Group has incurred capital expenditure of v 6771 crore
during the year 2014-15. There has been a net increase of
v 1759 crore in the cash balances as on March 31, 2015 as
compared to the balances as at the beginning of the year.

B. SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE (GROUP)
1.
Infrastructure Segment
Order Inflow at the group level in the Infrastructure
segment grew to v 85763 crore for the year 2014-15
on higher base, driven by domestic orders. Power
Transmission and Distribution business, with 35%
increase in the order intake, contributed significantly to
the order inflow growth of the segment. International
orders constituted 22% of the total order inflow during
the year.
At Group level, Infrastructure segment recorded gross
segment revenue of v 44859 crore for the year 2014-15
173
registering 18% growth over the previous year driven by
most businesses of the Infrastructure segment. Revenue
from international operations constituted 24% of the
total revenues of the segment during the year.
2. Power Segment
Order Inflow at the group level in the Power segment at
v 15125 crore grew manifold on the back of large value
turnkey orders secured from state utilities indicating
early signs of recovery of the sector.
Infrastructure Segment Group EBITDA at v 4791 crore
for 2014-15 was higher by 19% over the previous year.
Operating profit margin (OPM) was sustained at 11.1%
during the year 2014-15 due to steady execution of the
order book and effective operational cost management.
At Group level, Power segment recorded gross segment
revenue of v 4756 crore for the year ended March 31, 2015
recording a decline of 23% over the previous year due
to lower opening order book and newly secured orders
during the year being at early stage of execution.
The Funds Employed by the Group segment at
v 14150 crore as at March 31, 2015 increased by 11%
as compared to the position as on March 31, 2014

capital.
The Group Segment OPM declined to 16.3% during the
year ended March 31, 2015 vis-à-vis 25.2% in 2013-14
mainly due to under recoveries on lower levels of
capacity utilisation during the year. Moreover, EBIDTA
174
for the previous year provided a higher base effect due
to realisation of margins on jobs nearing completion.
The Group Segment recorded decline in OPM at 10.6%
during the year ended March 31, 2015 vis-à-vis 16.6%
in 2013-14 due to under recoveries, delayed execution
and cost overruns in certain projects in progress.
The Funds Employed by the Group segment at
v 2049 crore as at March 31, 2015 decreased by 16% as
compared to the position as on March 31, 2014 on the
back of higher customer advances on new order wins.

MMH segment recorded order Inflow of v 6136 crore
indicative of some improvement in the investment
outlook in metals & mining sector.
At Group level, MMH segment recorded gross
segment revenue of v 3426 crore for the year ended
March 31, 2015 registering a decline of 40% over the
previous year due to depleted opening order book and
delayed receipt of fresh orders during the year.
The Funds Employed by the Group segment at
v 3228 crore as at March 31, 2015 decreased by 2%
as compared to the position as on March 31, 2014.

II. L&T STANDALONE
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Company registered an impressive growth in order
inflow during the year 2014-15, despite challenging
business environment. Revenue and EBITDA growth,
however, remained modest due to slower progress on non-
infrastructure projects under execution. Profit after Tax at
v 5056 crore in 2014-15 was lower as compared with the
corresponding previous year due to cost and time overruns
in some projects and under recoveries in few of the lines of
business.
The Company continued its initiative of restructuring its
businesses for value creation. During the year 2014-15,
Integrated Engineering Services business has been
transferred to the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
to provide the required focus and agility to this business to
take advantage of growth opportunities.
The Company successfully secured new orders worth
v 109738 crore during the year 2014-15, registering an
increase of 41% over the previous year, led by domestic
orders which grew 50%. The order intake was healthy despite
delayed revival of public and private investments, policy
implementation delays and aggressive competition. Buildings
& Factories, Heavy Civil Infrastructure, Transportation
Infrastructure, Power Transmission & Distribution and Power
businesses contributed significantly to the order inflows
during the year. International orders contributed to 14% of
the total order inflow during 2014-15.
The Order Book as at the year-end stood at v 191252 crore
providing good revenue visibility for the next couple of
years. The order book registered a growth of 29% over the
previous year with international orders constituting 13% of
the order book.
180
The Staff expenses for the year 2014-15 at v 4151 crore
increased by 11.3% due to pay revisions as compared to
the staff expenses for previous year, adjusted for transfer
of IES business for like to like comparison. The Company’s
manpower strength stood at 44081 as at March 31, 2015.
Sales and administration expenses for the year 2014-15
at v 1982 crore increased to 3.5% of net revenue due to
increase in some of the administration cost and provision for
doubtful debts and advances. The increase is also attributable
to higher reversal of warranty provisions in the previous year.
The EBITDA margin for the year at 11.4% reduced by 10
basis points as compared to the previous year. Consequently,
Profit before depreciation, interest and tax (PBDIT) stood at v
6488 crore for the year, registering a modest growth of 3%
over the adjusted PBDIT for the previous year.
Depreciation & Amortisation charge
Depreciation and amortisation charge for the year 2014-15
at v 1008 crore increased by 32% over the previous year.
Increase in the depreciation charge for the year is mainly
due to the revision in useful lives of the assets pursuant to
Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
Other Income
Other income for the year 2014-15 amounted to v 2283 crore
as against v 1897 crore for the previous year. Dividends from
Group companies during the year 2014-15 amounted to
v 851 crore as against v 865 crore for the previous year. The
short term investments of temporary surpluses made in low
risk securities yielded income of v 622 crore for the year.
Finance cost
The interest expenses for the year 2014-15 at v 1419 crore
were higher vis-à-vis v 1064 crore for the previous year. The
increase in the interest expenses is mainly due to interest
on higher borrowings made during the year to finance the
rising working capital needs of the businesses. The average
borrowing cost for the year 2014-15 was contained at 9.5%
p.a., with refinancing of the loans and efficient treasury
management.

gain of v 357 crore on divestment of the Company’s part-
stake in L&T Finance Holdings Limited (L&T-FHL) carried out
during 2014-15. The Company had also diluted a part of its
holding in LT-FHL in the previous year, recording a gain of
v 589 crore.

the year 2014-15 at v 54.46 showed a decline of 8% over

interest rates prevailing during most part of the year
2014-15 elongated the working capital cycle. The businesses

not achieved billing milestones and delays in realisation of
customer outstandings.
During the year, investments and loans to subsidiary

for the previous year. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) for
the year 2014-15 at 12.5% is lower compared to 14.9% as
that of the previous year. The funds deployed in the group
companies in capital intensive businesses in the last few
years have not yet started yielding adequate returns, causing
decline in ROCE and RONW.

at March 31, 2015 after considering short term investments

III. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s portfolio largely consists of project businesses
with significant dependence on core sectors of the economy.
There is an increasing thrust by the Government towards
sectors like defence, renewables, railways, roads, smart
cities, low cost housing, etc. The company is well positioned
to leverage its experiences successfully in these sectors. With
a good track record in these sectors, the company plans to
align itself with the emerging opportunities.
The Central Government plan expenditure has been
constrained by the fiscal deficit. The fall in crude oil prices
has led to drop in level of subsidies, thus creating space for
Government investments in critical areas like railways. High
interest rates in a weak growth environment are creating
challenges for asset developers and leading to stretched
balance sheets in the banking system. RBI’s efforts in
bringing down inflation are expected to soften the interest
rate environment. With the Prime Minister making special
efforts towards “Make in India” initiative and efforts towards
bringing foreign capital and technology in the country, the
manufacturing sector is expected to get a boost.
The impact of the 14th Finance Commission recommendations
and devolution of power to States will change the expenditure
patterns of States. The recent coal and spectrum auctions
and much anticipated improvement in on-the-ground
decision making augurs well for infrastructure sector. The
PPP model may need to be reworked with an appropriate
risk-return sharing mechanism. The sharp drop in oil price
can delay the expansion plans of customers in the Middle-
East region in the hydrocarbon sector. If soft oil price sustains
over a longer term, growth in infrastructure sector could also
slowdown in the Middle-East region.
caused by the economic/business downturn, and also
to optimise overall Group interest rate risks and costs.
The Company continues to maintain adequate liquidity
on the Balance Sheet to deal effectively with business
situations.
The risk management organisation has evolved over last
few years. The Company has a robust risk management
framework governed by sound risk management policies.
The Company’s existing framework provides for risk reviews
at various levels based on an authorisation structure matrix.
The Company is constantly evaluating steps to further
strengthen the Risk Management processes in the company.
The Audit Committee periodically reviews the risks facing
the company providing an opportunity for an independent
assessment.
The key processes of risk reviews include evaluation of top
risk at enterprise level, country clearance process, pre-bid risk
reviews, execution risk reviews and close-out risk reviews.
Structured presentations are made to the management
for country clearances as well as pre-bid risk reviews. For
projects under execution, periodic execution risk reviews are
held. The Company has processes to identify “Top risks that
matter” for the top Management’s review and mitigation
measures to be integrated with the business plans.
Challenges in domestic business includes worsening terms
of trade resulting in stretched working capital requirements,
slow recovery of key sectors, delays due to client obligations,
etc. Depreciating currencies of foreign competitors is a risk
which needs to be countered by improving the operational
performance and sourcing efficiencies.
The Company’s Knowledge Centre provides the value-added
research focused on the macro-economic matters, sector-
specific issues and the Company. This has enabled provision
of meaningful insights and appropriate alerts for emerging
risks. With such initiatives in place, risk management is
expected to become a strong business enabler in due course
of time.
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
cycles while being able to raise growth capital on the
other. Given the demanding economic conditions in
FY 2014-15, there has been an increase in the working
capital levels of the Company. The Company has been
investing capital into subsidiaries as scheduled and in
some cases to provide for deterioration in performance
The Company deploys its periodical surplus funds
in short term investments in line with the corporate
treasury policy. The Company constantly monitors the
liquidity levels, economic and capital market conditions
and maintains access to the lowest cost means of
sourcing liquidity through banking lines, trade finance
and capital markets. In line with above, the Company
sought to balance out the mix of short term and long
term funding sources in its working capital funding mix
this year by increasing short term funding. 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 Company’s businesses are exposed to fluctuations
in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices.
Additionally, it has exposures to foreign currency
denominated financial assets and liabilities.
While the business related financial risks, especially
involving commodity prices, by and large, are managed
contractually through variations clauses, the Company’s
loan portfolio is managed by an appropriate choice of
loan currency and appropriate treasury products, for
balancing risks and at the same time optimising the
borrowing costs.
Business related foreign exchange risks are insulated
largely through hedging actions 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, quantified and managed
within the acceptable thresholds as laid out in the Risk
Management Policy of the Company. The process is also
subject to an annual review by the Audit Committee.
The financial year 2014-15 was characterised by a
strong USD against most of the asset classes (currency
/ commodities). The rupee moved from 59.9 to 62.5
per US Dollar during the year. The Company was able
to deal with the volatility in markets and especially the
USD strength reasonably well given the robust financial
risk management process in place. Benign commodity
prices, a relatively stable INR against USD along with the
analytical risk management framework has benefitted
the Company.
183
IV. INTERNAL CONTROLS
V. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Company’s internal controls system has been founded on
values of integrity and operational excellence which explains
its pre-eminent position in all its businesses. Over the years,
formal and independent exercises for evaluation of internal
controls and initiatives for remediation of deficiencies
have resulted in a robust framework for Internal Controls,
commensurate with the size and complexity of the business.
The internal framework essentially has two elements:
(1) Structures, policies and guidelines designed to achieve
efficiency and effectiveness in operations and compliance
with laws and regulations (2) an assurance function provided
by Corporate Audit Services. The audit observations are
addressed by businesses with necessary monitoring and
facilitation by the Corporate Internal Controls department.
The entire process is reviewed periodically by the Senior
Management and the Audit Committee which oversees the
Internal Audit function.
During the year, the Company has taken steps to review
and document in a phased manner the adequacy and
operating effectiveness of internal controls in line with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2013 and the revised
SEBI Listing agreement. Employees are guided by the
Company’s ‘Code of Conduct’ policy. The ‘Whistle Blower’
policy which provides direct access to the employees to
the top management and Board members of the Company
enables the sustenance of the internal control framework in
an effective manner.
The Company views Information Technology (IT) as a key
enabler for improving productivity, efficiency and for
providing competitive advantage. In order to have enhanced
focus on business to IT connect, all business verticals have
their IT set-up reporting to a Divisional Chief Information
Officer (CIO) whose efforts are ultimately knitted into
Corporate IT function through well-defined governance
process.
Information Technology function runs in two modes i.e., Run
IT and Leveraging IT. Whilst function of Run IT is to enable
business with required functionality at the most optimum
cost, excellent reliability, availability, security & support,
Leveraging IT focuses on niche solutions bolted on Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) and Non ERP software systems to
give cutting edge/ competitive advantage to the businesses.
The Company’s own social media platform is widely used
to increase communication, collaboration and employee
engagement.
The Company’s drive towards creating Private cloud
computing has achieved maturity with deployment of
new applications and services year-on-year and increased
company-wide adoption. Almost all new business units
are consuming IT services from this platform leading to
improved speed of deployment and cost efficiencies. As
new initiatives in near future, the Company plans to work
with key vendors and examine a Hybrid cloud model to gain
additional leverage.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit
report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of
such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates
made by the Company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial
statements.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the
information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted
in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2015, and its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

d) Weighted average share price at the date of exercise for stock options exercised during the period is ` 1554.71 (previous year:
` 1120.61) per share.
e)
(i)
In respect of stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s stock options schemes, the intrinsic value of the options
(excess of market price of the share over the exercise price of the option) is treated as discount and accounted as employee
compensation over the vesting period.
(ii) Expense on Employee Stock Option Schemes debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss during 2014-15 is ` 49.11 crore
(previous year: ` 55.88 crore) net of recoveries of ` 2.54 crore (previous year: ` 3.30 crore) from its group companies
towards the stock options granted to deputed employees, pursuant to the employee stock option schemes (Note N). The
entire amount pertains to equity-settled employee share-based payment plans.
f)
Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014, the Company has
adopted the guidance note on Employee Share Based Payments issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and
revised the method of computation of stock option compensation based on the number of grants that are expected to vest.
Consequently, the charge on account of employee stock option compensation for the year ended March 31, 2015 is lower and
the profit before tax is higher by ` 13.99 crore.
g) During the year, the Company has recovered ` 14.60 crore (previous year: ` 16.01 crore) from its subsidiary companies towards
the stock options granted to their employees, pursuant to the employee stock option schemes.
h) Had fair value method been adopted for expensing the compensation arising from employee share-based payment plans:
(i)
The employee compensation charge debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year 2014-15 would have been
higher by ` 9.10 crore (previous year: ` 21.30 crore) [excluding ` 2.05 crore (previous year: ` 5.45 crore) on account of
grants to employees of subsidiary companies]
(ii) Basic EPS before extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 54.46 per share to ` 54.37 per share
(iii) Basic EPS after extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 54.46 per share to ` 54.37 per share
(iv) Diluted EPS before extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 54.10 per share to ` 54.00 per share
(v) Diluted EPS after extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 54.10 per share to ` 54.00 per share
i) Weighted average fair values of options granted during the year is ` 1190.22 (previous year: ` 556.06) per option
j)
The fair value has been calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the significant assumptions and inputs to
estimate the fair value of options granted during the year are as follows:

The balance in share option outstanding account as on March 31, 2015 is ` 252.56 crore (net) (previous year: ` 323.70 crore),
including ` 135.98 crore (previous year: ` 148.22 crore) for which the options have been vested to employees as on March 31,
2015.
A(IX) The Directors recommend payment of final dividend of ` 16.25 per equity share of ` 2 each on the number of shares outstanding as

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(9)(ii)(f)(7) infra].
The Company expects to fund ` 59.74 crore (previous year: ` 26.38 crore) towards its gratuity plan and ` 92.03 crore
(previous year: ` 86.74 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2015-16.

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 loss.
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 care 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 ` 27.55 crore created in 2013-14 based on actuarial valuation towards
the future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the plan, has been reversed to the extent
of ` 22.69 crore in the current year, because the balance in surplus account of the fund is higher than the interest
obligation of ` 27.78 crore as on March 31, 2015.

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, 2013 and the Accounting Standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 read with Rule 7(1) of
the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013. 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 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 III to the
Companies Act, 2013 (“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 III 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 Equity 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 III. 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 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;
256
Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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.
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 the rendering of engineering design services and other services which are directly related
to the construction of an asset is recognised on similar basis as stated in (iv) supra.
vi. Revenues from construction/project related activity and contracts executed in joint ventures under work-sharing
arrangement [being jointly controlled operations, in terms of Accounting Standard (AS) 27 “Financial Reporting
of Interests in Joint Ventures”], is recognised on the same basis as similar contracts independently executed by the
Company.
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.
257
Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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. Extraordinary and exceptional Items
Income or expenses that arise from events or transactions that are clearly distinct from the ordinary activities of the Company are
classified as extraordinary items. Specific disclosure of such events/transactions is made in the financial statements. Similarly, any
external event beyond the control of the Company, significantly impacting income or expense, is also treated as extraordinary item
and disclosed as such.
On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company,
is such that its disclosure improves an understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classified as an
exceptional item and accordingly disclosed in the notes to accounts.
5. Research and development
a.
Revenue expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred.
b. Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:
i.
ii.
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
The Company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it
iii. The Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset
iv.
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.
258
Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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. The balance charge is recognised as employee benefit expenses in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans
to recognise the obligation on a net basis.
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement
occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become
vested.
c)
Long term employee benefits:
The obligation for long term employee benefits such as long term compensated absences, long service award etc. is recognised
in the similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans as mentioned in (b)(ii) 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.
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.
iii. 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.
iv.
Initial direct costs relating to assets given on finance leases are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
259
Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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 based 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.
ii. Assets carried at historical cost:
Depreciation on assets carried at historical costs is provided on straight line method on the basis of useful life as specified
in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of certain assets where the useful life was determined by
technical evaluation. The carrying amount of the assets as on April 1, 2014 is depreciated over the remaining useful life.
Where the useful life of the asset has expired, the carrying amount as on April 1, 2014 has been charged to the retained
earnings as on April 1, 2014.
iii. Depreciation for additions to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata. 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 II to the Companies Act, 2013, the difference is
adjusted through lease equalisation and lease adjustment account.
ii.
Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:
Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term. Where there is reasonable
certainty that the Company shall obtain ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, such assets are depreciated
based on the useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 or based on the useful life 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 over their useful life as
follows:
a.
Specialised software: over a period of six years.
b.
Technical know-how: over a period of six years in case of foreign technology and three years in the case of indigenous technology.
c. Development costs for new products: over a period of five years.
260
Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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:

borrowings, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising from foreign currency

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. The amount recognised as expense each year is arrived at based on the number of grants expected to vest.
If a grant lapses after the vesting period, the cumulative discount recognised as expense in respect of such grant is transferred to the
general reserve.
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:
Closing inventories at rates prevailing at the end of the year
Fixed assets as at April 1, 1991 at rates prevailing at the end of the year in which the additions were made. Subsequent
additions are at rates prevailing on the dates of the additions. Depreciation is accounted at the same rate at which the
assets are translated.

ii.
262
Notes forming part of the Accounts (contd.)
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)
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 recognised as income or expense of the period in which they arise.
Forward contracts, other than those entered into to hedge foreign currency risk on unexecuted 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 such forward contracts are recognised as income/expense of the
period in which such roll over/cancellation takes place.
f) All the other derivative contracts, including forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks on unexecuted firm
commitments and highly probable forecast transactions, are recognised in the financial statements at fair value as on the Balance
Sheet date, in pursuance of the announcement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) dated March 29, 2008
on accounting of derivatives. 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.
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 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.

d) Weighted average share price at the date of exercise for stock options exercised during the period is ` 1554.71 (previous year:
` 1120.61) per share.
e)
(i)
In respect of stock options granted pursuant to the Company’s stock options schemes, the intrinsic value of the options
(excess of market price of the share over the exercise price of the option) is treated as discount and accounted as employee
compensation over the vesting period.
(ii) Expense on Employee Stock Option Schemes debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss during 2014-15 is ` 65.91 crore
(previous year: ` 75.68 crore) (net) [Note M and N]. The entire amount pertains to equity-settled employee share-based
payment plans.
f)
Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014, the Company has
adopted the guidance note on Employee Share Based Payments issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and
revised the method of computation of stock option compensation based on the number of grants that are expected to vest.
Consequently, the charge on account of employee stock option compensation for the year ended March 31, 2015 is lower and
the profit before tax is higher by ` 17.06 crore.
g) Had fair value method been adopted for expensing the compensation arising from employee share-based payment plans:
(i)
The employee compensation charge debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year 2014-15 would have been
higher by ` 11.15 crore (previous year: ` 26.75 crore)
(ii) Basic EPS before extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 51.33 per share to ` 51.21 per share
(iii) Basic EPS after extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 51.33 per share to ` 51.21 per share
(iv) Diluted EPS before extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 50.98 per share to ` 50.86 per share
(v) Diluted EPS after extraordinary items would have decreased from ` 50.98 per share to ` 50.86 per share
h) Weighted average fair values of options granted during the year is ` 1190.22 (previous year: ` 556.06) per option

$
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 10(ii)(f)(7)] infra.
The Company expects to fund ` 91.43 crore (previous year: ` 25.10 crore) towards its gratuity plan and ` 198.84 crore
(previous year: ` 89.45 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2014-15.

h) General descriptions of defined benefit plans:
1. Gratuity plan:
The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent to
fifteen days salary last drawn for each completed year of service. The same is payable on termination of service or
retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit vests after five years of continuous service. The Company’s scheme is more
favourable as compared to the obligation under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. A small part of the gratuity plan,
which is not material is unfunded and managed within the Company.
2.
Post-retirement medical benefit plan:
The Post-retirement medical benefit plan provides for reimbursement of health care costs to certain categories of
employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling sanctioned based on cadre of the
employee at the time of retirement.
3. Company’s pension plan:
In addition to contribution to state-managed pension plan (EPS scheme), the Company operates a post retirement
pension scheme, which is discretionary in nature for certain cadres of employees. The quantum of pension depends
on the cadre of the employee at the time of retirement.
4. Trust managed provident fund plan:
The Company manages provident fund plan through a provident fund trust for its employees which is permitted
under the Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan envisages contribution by employer and
employees and guarantees interest at the rate notified by the provident fund authority. The contribution by employer
and employee together with interest are payable at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is
earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on rendering of service.
The interest payment obligation of trust-managed provident fund is assumed to be adequately covered by the interest
income on long term investments of the fund. Any shortfall in the interest income over the interest obligation is
recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial loss. Any loss/gain arising out of the investment
risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognized as expense or income in the period in which such
loss/gain occurs. Further, an amount of ` 28.80 crore (previous year: provision of ` 39.28 crore) has been reversed
based on actuarial valuation towards the future obligation arising out of interest rate guarantee associated with the
plan.

Q(23) a) One of the subsidiaries, which has been awarded a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project for construction of a bypass toll road
and a bridge over the River Noyyal in Coimbatore District of Tamil Nadu State, under the Concession Agreement dated October
3, 1997, had received a termination notice from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, (MORTH).
The ground of termination was Government of India’s subsequent intention to go for four-laning of the existing two lane road.
The subsidiary had obtained injunction from Delhi High Court against the said notice of the Government and is accordingly
continuing to collect the toll. The tolling rights of the subsidiary are protected under the aforesaid concession agreement.
The subsidiary had also filed an application opting for arbitration for resolution of disputes and an Arbitral Tribunal had been
constituted as provided in the concession agreement. The Arbitral Tribunal has pronounced the award on December 12, 2014 in
favour of the Company. The Tribunal has also awarded, interalia, compensation to be paid to the Company for loss of revenue
at Athupalam Bridge and suitable extension of the concession period.
The MORTH has challenged the award of March 12, 2015 seeking stay of the aforesaid Tribunal award before the Delhi High
Court. Since the matter is sub-judice, the compensation has not been recognised in the financial statements.
b)
In respect of one of the subsidiaries, advance from customers of ` 7.00 crore represents booking amount received from intending
buyers of the office space towards part of sale consideration. The said customers have not complied with the terms of the
arrangement in respect of the payments as per schedule hence the Company has cancelled their allotments. The parties have
filed cases against the Company for specific performance. The Company is confident of winning the cases and do not expect
any liability arising in the matters.
Q(24) There are no amounts due and outstanding to be credited to Investor Education & Protection Fund as at March 31, 2015.

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, 2013 and the Accounting Standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 read with Rule 7(1) of
the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013. 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 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
329
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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 read with Rule 7(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014,
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 III to the
Companies Act, 2013 (“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 III 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 Equity 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 III. 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 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 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.
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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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 engineering design services and other 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
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.
In respect of information technology (IT) and technology services, revenue from contracts awarded on time and material
basis is recognized when services are rendered and related costs are incurred. Revenue from fixed price contracts is
recognised using the proportionate completion method.
xi. Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of the contract are fulfilled.

xv. Revenue from charter hire is recognised based on the terms of the time charter agreement.
xvi Revenue from operation and maintenance services of power plant receivable under the Power Purchase Agreement
is recognised on accrual basis.
xvii. 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 reinsurance 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. 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.
b. Other operational revenue

332
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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. 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.
b.
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 unrealized
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. Minority interest represents that part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests which are
not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Group. Further, Preference shares issued by the subsidiaries to stakeholders outside the
Group together with dividend accruals thereon also form part of minority interest in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
e. 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.
f.
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.
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.
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. The manner in which the probable future economic benefits will be generated including the existence of a market for
output of the intangible asset or intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of intangible assets
v. The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
intangible asset and
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 & 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.
335
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 straight line method on the basis of useful life as specified
in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of certain assets where the useful life was determined by
technical evaluation. The carrying amount of the assets as on April 1, 2014 is depreciated over the remaining useful
life. Where the useful life of the asset has expired, the carrying amount as on April 1, 2014 has been charged to the
retained earnings as on April 1, 2014.
iii. Depreciation for additions to/deductions from owned assets is calculated pro-rata. 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 II to the Companies Act, 2013,
the difference is adjusted through lease equalisation and lease adjustment account.
ii.
Lease transactions entered into on or after April 1, 2001:
Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term. Where there is
reasonable certainty that the Company shall obtain ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, such assets
are depreciated based on the useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 or based on the
useful life 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 lives.
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. Specialised software: over a period of three to ten years;
b.
Technical know-how: over a period of three to seven years;
c. Development costs for new products: over a period five years;
d. Customer contracts and relationships: over a period of seven to ten years;
e. 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 in respect of road projects are amortised over the period of concession using the revenue based amortisation
method prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Under the revenue based amortisation method, amortisation is
provided based on proportion of actual revenue earned till the end of the year to the total projected revenue from the intangible
assets expected to be earned over the concession period. Total projected revenue is reviewed at the end of each financial year
and is adjusted to reflect changes in earlier estimate vis-à-vis the actual revenue earned till the end of the year so that the whole
of the cost of the intangible asset is amortised over the concession period.
336
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
f.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred for potential mineral reserves is recognised and reported as part of “intangible
assets under development” under “intangible assets” when such costs are expected to be either recouped in full through
successful exploration and development of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale; or when exploration and evaluation
activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise
of economically available reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing or are planned for
the future. Exploration assets are re-assessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one
of the conditions outlined above is met. All other exploration and evaluation expenditure is recognised as expense in the period
in which it is incurred.
g. 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
asset’s 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.
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).
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 cost or net realisable value. However,
these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished goods in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at
or above cost;
b. Manufacturing work-in-progress at lower of cost including related overheads or net realisable value. In some cases, manufacturing
work-in-progress is valued at lower of specifically identifiable cost or net realisable value. In the case of qualifying assets, cost
also includes applicable borrowing costs vide policy relating to borrowing costs;
337
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
c.
Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost includes
related overheads and excise duty paid/payable on such goods; and
d. Completed property/work-in-progress (including land) in respect of property development activity at lower of specifically
identifiable cost or net realisable value.
Cost of inventories is computed either on a weighted average or on First-in-First-out (FIFO) basis.
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; and
ii.
The discount allowed, if any, in respect of shares allotted pursuant to Stock Options Scheme.

i.
ii.
Expenses incurred on issue of shares;
Expenses (net of tax) incurred on issue of debentures/bonds; and

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. The amount recognised as expense each year is arrived at based on the number of grants expected to vest.
If a grant lapses after the vesting period, the cumulative discount recognized as expense in respect of such grant is transferred to the
general reserve.
20. 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.
adjusted in the cost of fixed assets specifically financed by the borrowings contracted upto March 31, 2004 to which the
exchange differences relate;
338
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
ii. 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. Closing inventories at rates prevailing at the end of the year.
ii.
Fixed assets as at April 1, 1991 at rates prevailing at the end of the year in which the additions were made. Subsequent
additions are at rates prevailing on the dates of the additions. Depreciation is accounted at the same rate at which the
assets are translated.
iii. Other assets and liabilities at rates prevailing at the end of the year.
iv. Net revenues at the average rate for the year.
d. Financial statements of foreign operations comprising jobs contracted on or after April 1, 2004, are treated as integral operations
and translated as in the same manner as foreign currency transactions, as described above. Exchange differences arising on such
translation are recognised as income or expense of the period in which they arise.
e. Financial statements of overseas non-integral operations are translated as under:
i. Assets and liabilities at the rate prevailing at the end of the year. Depreciation and 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.
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

NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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.
Segment revenue includes sales and other operational revenue directly identifiable with/allocable to the segment including (a)
inter segment revenue and (b) profit on sale of stake in the subsidiary and/or joint venture companies under Developmental
projects segment and Realty business grouped under “Others” segment.
ii. Expenses that are directly identifiable with/allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result.
In respect of (a) Financial Services Segment and (b) certain projects under Developmental Projects segment viz. power
generation projects & power transmission system projects which are classified as finance lease and annuity based road
projects, the interest expenses on borrowings are accounted as segment expenses. Expenses which relate to the Company
as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under “unallocable corporate expenditure”.
iii.
Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in “unallocable corporate
income”.
iv. Segment result includes margins on inter-segment capital jobs, which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the
Company.
v. Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. In respect of (a) financial
services segment, and (b) certain projects under developmental projects segment viz. power generation projects & power
transmission system projects which are classified as finance lease and annuity based road projects, segment liabilities include
borrowings as the interest expenses on borrowings are accounted as segment expenses in respect of the segment and
projects.
Unallocable corporate assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and
not allocable to any segment.
vi. Segment non-cash expenses forming part of segment expenses include the intrinsic value of the employee stock options
which is accounted as employee compensation cost [Note R(19)] and is allocated to the 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.
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
340
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (contd.)
NOTE [R] SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd.)
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.

Significant influence is demonstrated by holding 20% or more of the voting power of the investee ( Para 4 of AS 23 - Accounting for Investments in Associates)
The Incorporated joint venture is not required to be audited as per regulatory laws in Iran. Hence the management certified accounts have been considered for consolidation.
The Group has sold its stake in The Dharma Port Company Limited , an incorporated joint venture and NAC Infrastructure Equipment Limited, an associate company during FY 2014-15.
The associate company is under liquidation process and investment is fully provided in the accounts.
