73rd ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018

Eight Decades of
Leading
the Change

Chairman’s Statement – Annual Report 2017-18
Dear Shareholders

Across the last eight decades, L&T has kept pace with 
technological developments as well as the evolving needs 
of the nation. Your Company is, in every sense, leading 
the change. 

My greetings and good wishes to 
you on the 80th anniversary of the 
formation of L&T. 

The tiny partnership firm set up 
on May 1, 1938 is now a leading 
engineering & construction 
conglomerate, operating at the upper 
end of the technology spectrum. 
Across the last eight decades, we 
have kept pace with technological 
developments as well as the evolving 
needs of the nation. Your Company 
is, in every sense, leading the change. 

Economic Scenario 
In the last fiscal, the Indian economy 
has emerged after grappling boldly 
with multiple challenges.  Structural 
reforms, by their very nature, are 

initially disruptive because they 
unsettle the existing ways of doing 
business, and can often impact public 
perceptions negatively.  However, 
their long-term benefits outweigh 
the early tremors. The GST regime 
and other reforms such as Insolvency 
& Bankruptcy Code, Demonetisation 
and RERA are the building blocks of a 
healthier, more wholesome economic 
environment. 

In addition to the volatility sparked 
by reform-led change, industry 
encountered a host of other 
challenges, viz., muted private 
sector capex, reduced investment 
opportunities in Middle East markets 
and the increasing unpredictability of 
geo-political developments.   

1

On the other hand, some areas of public sector 
infrastructure capex have seen strong investment 
momentum and several large investment programs have 
been initiated. We are also beginning to glimpse the green 
shoots of private sector capex revival in the industrial space. 
It is expected that the economic reforms initiated by the 
Government will expand the tax base, enhance revenues 
and in turn spur GDP growth and infrastructure allocations. 

With private sector participation in roads, airports, power, 
real estate and industrial capex remaining subdued, the 
needle of increased investment has largely shifted towards 
the public sector. The Government has also been focusing 
on development of infrastructure and energy facilities to 
drive strong, sustainable economic growth. Rural reform 
is receiving the attention it deserves. Larger allocations 
towards irrigation, measures to insulate farmers against the 
vagaries of the monsoon, rural road connectivity, and the 
proverbial last mile in rural electrification are heartening.

Positive markers at the national level include a wider tax 
base, increased allocation of share of revenues to states, 
strong Balance Sheets of some PSUs and larger quantum of 
funding from international development agencies such as 
JICA and World Bank. All of them have provided a robust 
financial platform for building infrastructure facilities in  
the country.

On the global front, the signals are mixed. Major 
governments are being lured into populist measures such 
as protectionism.  Geo-political re-alignments are impacting 
traditional trade flows and commodity prices and currencies 
experience never-before volatility. Amid all this, we see 
encouraging signs of global growth revival. 

Performance Overview
Your Company has turned in a commendable performance 
on key financial parameters in 2017-18. Even though 
awarding of infrastructure projects continued to be 
unpredictable in terms of timelines, we registered a 
7% growth in fresh order inflows of R 152,908 crores 
over inflows in the previous year. The unexecuted Order 
Book at the end of 2017-18 stands at  R 263,107 crores 
which provides good revenue visibility in 2018-19. While 
execution was impacted in 2017-18 due to disruptions 

2

caused by implementation of GST as well as bottlenecks 
in some projects due to tardy customer payments, delayed 
clearances, and land acquisition / right of way issue, your 
Company clocked revenues of  R 119,862 crores. This 
translates to a growth of 9.5% on a like-to-like basis over 
the previous year after adjusting for Excise Duties which 
were subsumed in GST from 1st July 2017 onwards. 
Profit after Tax recorded an all-time high of  R 7,370 crore – 
representing a 22% increase over PAT of 2016-17.

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Board 
of Directors has recommended a Dividend of  R 16.00 per 
share. Corresponding dividend in the previous year was  
R 14.00 per share.

International Business
The thrust on international business initiated almost two 
decades ago has contributed to your Company being 
recognized as a marquee player in the Middle East in the 
hydrocarbon and infrastructure sectors. This has ensured 
that despite fiscal contraction in oil producing countries,  
we continued to enjoy business traction throughout 
2017-18. The recent spurt in oil prices could trigger an 
increased round of investments in the region, opening 
possibilities for resurgent growth. 

In line with our aim of diversifying the spread of our 
international business beyond the Middle East, we are also 
actively pursuing opportunities in East and North Africa 
Region (including Algeria and Egypt) and other ‘near shore’ 
geographies of East Asia (Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, 
Vietnam and Sri Lanka). The unexecuted Order Book from 
international markets stood at R 62,500 crore, which 
translates to 24% of the total Order Book. Of the total 
international Order Book, non-GCC business now accounts 
for 31% of the Book size.

Digital Future
Leveraging technology across all operations is a prime focus 
area.  While our digitalization journey will extend far into 
the future, some operational benefits are already visible 
-  better asset utilization, improved labour productivity and 
sourcing efficiencies though the use of IoT (Internet of 
Things) and other digital solutions. L&T Infotech and  
L&T Technology Services are our partners in this initiative, 

and your Company expects to continue harvesting the 
wide-ranging benefits of digitalization in the years ahead.

Talent Management and Succession Planning
Our Human Resources policies and practices centre around 
moulding our employees into leaders in their areas of work. 
Your Company’s structured 7-step Leadership Development 
Programme plays a key role in helping build a robust 
leadership and succession pipeline. A comprehensive 
programme for monetary and non-monetary rewards 
incentivises excellence. 

While I have handed over the reins of day-to-day 
operational management to the CEO & MD, I am focusing 
on business portfolio rationalisation, mentoring the next 
generation of leaders and expanding the outreach of your 
Company’s CSR initiatives. 

Sustainable Development
The sustainability of business pivots on the quality of the 
ecosystem within which it operates. It is therefore a moral 
imperative for responsible corporates to actively implement 
measures to improve business performance, reduce social 
disparities, and mitigate the environmental impact of 
industrial development. Our sustainability focus is on 
reduction of our carbon footprint and introduction of green 
technologies, while improving the lives of the communities 
around us through health, education, water & sanitation 
and skill-building initiatives. 

Total spends on CSR initiatives in 2017-18 by your 
Company amounted to R 101 crore under eligible items, as 
defined in the Companies Act. This translates to 2% of the 
average annual net profits of the Company over the last 
three years.

Outlook
India is witnessing the increasing ‘formalisation’ of an 
economy which for decades had sections operating below 
the radar. Structural reforms such as Demonetisation, GST 
and the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code have resulted in 
a larger pool of assessees and growth in the volume of 
tax collection. The increase in tax revenues should enable 
the Government to invest in essential infrastructure on a 
sustained basis.

While international business opportunities continue to 
remain reasonably healthy, 2018-19 is also expected to 
witness strong domestic growth, aided by supportive 
fiscal policies and the focused development agenda being 
adopted by the Government. Business prospects in different 
sectors provide a large canvas of opportunity which could 
be tapped in 2018-19. Segments which hold promise in the 
current year include:

1)  Infrastructure
a)  Roads – The Government has committed sizeable 
budgetary allocation to augmenting road infrastructure. 
We expect this momentum to continue, aided by increased 
investments in expressway programs.

b)  Railways – A thrust on railway electrification and track 
augmentation is paving the way for increased opportunities 
in your Company’s railways business. We are geared to tap 
these prospects as they develop. 

c)  Metro Rail – We have been participating in Metro Rail 
programs in multiple cities in India and in two projects in 
the Middle East. The investment flow continues to gather 
pace as more cities adopt mass rapid transit as an effective 
and eco-friendly solution to urban traffic congestion. 
Continued growth is expected in this business segment.

d)  Urban Infrastructure – Your Company is a leader in 
providing building solutions across the urban spectrum - 
residential real estate, commercial buildings, affordable 
housing, hospitals, educational institutions, hotels and 
convention centres. While residential buildings have seen 
a lull over the last few years, other prospects in this 
vertical continue to hold promise. The new frontier in 
urban infrastructure is Smart Cities. A growing number of 
cities are adopting elements of smart city infrastructure 
such as intelligent traffic management and surveillance 
systems, smart electric grids & lighting, fibre optic cabling 
and transport & logistics systems. Your Company has the 
unique advantage of in-house domain expertise to provide 
end-to-end offerings to customers. This enables us to play 
the role of a Master System Integrator for the Smart Cities 
of the future. 

3

e)  Water Infrastructure – The water sector has seen  
sub-optimal investment levels in the past. This could 
change for the better, thanks to the growing realization 
that ground water is being overexploited and that better 
irrigation facilities are essential to provide a sustainable 
livelihood for our farmers. Your Company’s diverse 
range of offerings in the water sector will benefit from 
the Government’s programmes to clean the country’s 
major rivers as well as from bulk transmission and water 
treatment for municipalities, sewage & effluent treatment 
plants, lift irrigation and inland waterways infrastructure.

2)  Thermal Power Generation – A slowdown in the 
thermal power generation sector across the last few years 
has led to aggressive bidding, as competitors vie for the 
limited opportunities on offer. Your Company looks forward 
to prospects aggregating 6 GW which are likely to be 
awarded in the current year, and these constitute targeted 
business. We have successfully constructed gas-fired 
power plants in Bangladesh and will continue to tap similar 
prospects likely to come up in the neighbouring country in 
the current year. We also continue to engage with our joint 
venture partners for increased international business in our 
efforts to increase manufacturing capacity utilisation.

3)  Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) – 
We have built strong business foundations in the PT&D 
space in India and the Middle East. Inroads have also been 
made into parts of East Africa, Algeria and Egypt. This is in 
line with our objective of creating an international PT&D 
business covering dispersed geographies. On the domestic 
front, the thrust by the Government on strengthening 
power grids through Central and State utilities, as well as 
intensive electrification of rural households is expected to 
yield good business in the current year. We also continue to 
see good traction in international business prospects.

4)  Hydrocarbon – Oil prices are rebounding from their 
historic low points. This will brighten prospects for your 
Company’s hydrocarbon business in the Middle East region 
which had seen contraction of spends over the last two 
years. We have adopted a policy of judicious bidding 
for projects with selected customers in the GCC region. 
Projects are selected based on a strong customer connect 
and the predictable prospects of streamlined execution. 

4

Countries being targeted include Saudi Arabia, UAE, 
Kuwait, Oman, Algeria and a few in East Asia. On the 
domestic front, prospects in offshore production, onshore 
refinery capex, fertiliser plants and pipeline projects are a 
cause for cheer.

The Company has built up a good order book and 
possesses proven capabilities to harness upcoming 
prospects. 

5)  Heavy Engineering – The Heavy Engineering business 
faced hurdles over the last few years due to shrinking 
global spends on hydrocarbon equipment compounded 
by the slow pace of revival of the nuclear power industry. 
Prospects for the current year are reasonably strong with 
some signs of a higher level of ordering for hydrocarbon 
equipment. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. 
has also progressed in its plan to build ten new nuclear 
power plants using its 700 MW indigenous design. The 
commencement of awarding orders for equipment is 
encouraging news for the Heavy Engineering business. 

6)  Electrical & Automation (E&A) – The Electrical & 
Automation business continued to record stable operational 
indicators in 2017-18. It remains a market leader in many 
segments within its wide range of low voltage switchgear. 
The range includes Air Circuit Breakers, Moulded Case 
Circuit Breakers, Switch Disconnector Fuses and other 
electric protection devices for application in industry, 
agriculture and segments such as buildings. Its expanding 
product spectrum covers building automation systems 
including smart meters and energy management systems, 
and a range of customised energy distribution solutions. 
Business opportunities for the current year are positive,  
and likely to stimulate growth.

In line with its strategic plan to exit non-core businesses, 
your Company signed an agreement with Schneider Electric 
to divest this business, subject to regulatory approvals. 
We envisage that these approvals could be forthcoming in 
timelines in excess of a year.

7)  Realty – This sector has been impacted by 
Demonetisation, RERA and the increased financialization 
of savings where individuals shift their investments from 

real estate or gold to financial assets. While the industry 
continues to be weighed down by excess inventory and 
low absorption rates, business is gradually improving and 
we expect 2018-19 to be better than the last two years in 
terms of order inflows and offtake. Your Company intends 
to continue with monetisation of its properties in Mumbai, 
Bangalore and Chennai, subject to Government approvals.

8)  Information Technology and Technology Services 
(IT and TS) – After listing of L&T Infotech Ltd (LTI) and L&T 
Technology Services (LTTS) in mid-2016-17, the businesses 
have recorded above average growth while maintaining 
margins and returns on capital. Markets have responded 
positively, and have rewarded the IPO shareholders through 
capital appreciation. At the heart of the success of both 
these subsidiaries is the customer-focused lineage of 
Larsen & Toubro. While drawing extensively on the domain 
knowledge and operational expertise of their parent 
company, they have also leveraged its international client 
base which includes global majors. 
The focus of the businesses is on increased digital 
offerings, with special emphasis on client mining, talent 
management, enhanced utilisation of resources and 
superior service offering. These listed subsidiaries are well 
equipped to address and overcome global challenges 
including increasing protectionist policies while maintaining 
healthy shareholder returns.

9)  Financial Services – This business, which was listed 
in 2011, continues to perform well, and had a loan book 
of R 83,654 crore at the end of 2017-18, representing a 
strong Year-on-Year growth of 26%. Its growth momentum 
continues in both lending and investment management 
where the average AUM has risen to R 66,000 crore 
in 2017-18. Digital and data analytics have facilitated 
operations even as growth in focused businesses, asset 
quality, fee income and operational excellence measures 
are enabling the business to increase returns on capital. 
Equity capital was raised in end-2017-18, and your 
Company subscribed to the equity issue in order to 
maintain its equity stakes since it believes that growth 
capital infusion will be return accretive.

10)  Development Projects – Your Company owns 
a portfolio of concession assets comprising roads, a 
transmission line, power generation, a container port 
and a metro rail. The metro rail project and some hydel 
plant projects are currently under construction. In the 
current year, we have divested five road concessions to an 
Investment Trust, and will continue to evaluate options for 
monetisation of value created in the remaining concession 
assets.

Strategic Plan
Your Company formulated its 5-year strategic plan – 
LAKSHYA - spanning the years from 2016-17 to 2020-21 
(both years inclusive), and has largely been on track in 
execution of this plan. The overarching goal is to enhance 
Return on Equity (RoE). Levers to achieve this include 
maintaining steady growth in revenues with improvement 
in margins, control on working capital, divestment of  
non-core businesses, endeavouring to turn around  
under-utilised facilities, minimising capital expenditure, 
avoiding investment in long gestation or asset heavy 
businesses and higher pay-outs to shareholders. Both  
2016-17 and 2017-18 have shown that our efforts are 
yielding positive results. Your Company is confident of 
continuing its RoE enhancement journey during the  
current year as well.

I would like to conclude by thanking Team L&T as well 
as our customers, vendors and other stakeholders who 
have made it possible for your Company to maintain its 
trajectory of growth during a challenging  phase of the 
Indian economy. I also wish to thank my fellow Board 
members for their invaluable support. 

Thank You.

Corporate 
Social 
Responsibility

Contributing towards Social Development and 
Growth 

L&T is an engineering and construction conglomerate with 
a concern for the community. Building on many decades 
of social responsibility activities, the company contributes 
to inclusive growth by empowering communities and 
accelerating development through interventions in water 
& sanitation, health, education and skill development. L&T-
eering, a structured volunteering programme, inspires and 
empowers employee volunteers or L&T-eers to contribute 
their time to community development programmes 
supported by the Company, thereby enhancing social 
impact even further. The employees’ wives and female 
employees power the Prayas Trust, driving CSR initiatives 
in their own capacity and reaching out to remote 
communities.    

Even before the CSR section was introduced in the 
Companies Act 2013, L&T had been interacting with the 

community around L&T facilities and providing health, 
education and skills development services to those who 
needed it most.  

In 2014 we consolidated our CSR programmes with a 
focus on certain development areas that align with the 
national development agenda and the global sustainable 
development goals.  Through the CSR theme ‘Building 
India’s Social Infrastructure’ we are pleased to contribute 
to the social change in India. Here is a snapshot of our CSR 
interventions across four key thrust areas. 

Water & Sanitation
- meeting the bare necessities

The Integrated Community Development Program of 
L&T started in 2014-15, focused on making water – 
the very ‘necessity of life’ –  available to four water 
stressed districts in Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Tamil 
Nadu, covering 11006 households across an area of 
9337 hectares. With an agenda focused on community 
empowerment through Integrated Community 
Development, we have ensured water availability for 
drinking, sanitation and agriculture

Interventions 
•  The water and soil conservation structures like check
  dams, anicuts, contour trenches, farm bunds and

SECTION E 

  PRINCIPLE 1: BUSINESSES SHOULD  
  CONDUCT AND GOVERN THEMSELVES  
  WITH ETHICS, TRANSPARENCY AND  
  ACCOUNTABILITY

L&T’s rich legacy of a transparent and just governance 
system, disclosure practices and integrity are the bedrock 
of the Company’s business philosophy. Larsen & Toubro 
is a professionally managed Indian multinational with 
a focus on enhancing stakeholder’s value through 
committed customer satisfaction. The vision and 
corporate polices of the company are extended to all 
subsidiaries and associate companies. 

L&T has adopted the Code of Conduct (CoC) for 
employees, including board members, to remain 
consistently vigilant and ensure ethical conduct of 
its operations. All employees are required to comply 
with the CoC and are required to provide an annual 
declaration of their adherence to it. This enhances the 
understanding of CoC amongst employees as well as 
infuses in them a sense of ownership for their actions. 
Employees and relevant stakeholders are trained 
and otherwise made aware of the CoC as well as 
amendments to it.

The CEO & MD makes an annual declaration to the 
shareholders regarding the senior management’s 
compliance with the CoC.  It is available on the 
Company’s website – www.Larsentoubro.com.  
All new joinees are made aware of the CoC as a part of 
their induction program. An online mode is also available 
on L&T’s ‘Any Time Learning’ application. The key aspects 
of the CoC are covered in L&T’s HR orientation training 
modules – SWAGAT and PRAYAG for Graduate Engineer 
Trainee (GETs) / Post Graduate Engineer Trainee (PGET).   

An Apex Committee is responsible for ensuring 
implementation of the CoC across the Company. The 
Committee handles non-compliance instances as well 
as guides the unit-level CoC committee. The Apex 
committee also acts, interacts and coordinates with the 
Executive Committee (E Com) on all issues pertaining to 
the CoC. The Apex Committee comprises a minimum of 
five senior members. The Compliance Officer also acts as 
the Ex-Officio of the Apex Committee. 

24

Codified policies publicly affirm the organisation’s commitment, 
govern actions and provide clarity of direction

The unit-level CoC Committee comprises four members 
from HR, Operations and Accounts, and is supervised 
by the Unit Head. This Committee meets at least once 
a quarter. The role of the Unit Committee is to create 
awareness amongst employees, motivate them to 
adhere to the CoC, monitor the compliance, investigate 
instances of non-compliance and report to the Apex 
body. Good corporate governance practices are imbibed 
by the employees and have become a way of life. It 
ultimately enhances the brand value of Larsen & Toubro.

A vigilance mechanism is in place for directors and 
employees to report their concerns about actual or 
suspected fraud, unethical behaviour or violation 
of the Company’s CoC. This is ensured through the 
Whistle-Blower policy – an effective tool available for 
employees to report,  without fear, instances related to 
non-compliance, any wrong practice, unethical behaviour 

 
 
 
 
or improper practice which may have an adverse impact 
on the Company or cause financial loss to the Company. 

The Whistle-Blower Investigation Committee and the 
management maintain anonymity of the whistle-blower 
at all times. During 2017-18, a total of 32 complaints 
were received, 75% of these were investigated and dealt 
with in accordance with the Company’s protocol and 
25% are under review. Details relating to stakeholder 
complaints are included in the Director’s Report Section 
of this Annual Report.

There is a Combined CoC for suppliers which covers 
specific aspects of environmental management and 
compliance, labour practices, human rights, freedom of 
association and collective bargaining, prohibition of child 
labour, prohibition of forced and compulsory labour, 
impact on society, ethics, transparency and business 
processes. 

Every new supplier / vendor must sign this CoC before 
doing any business with L&T. Since 2016, more than 
18,000 suppliers have signed this Combined CoC. 
Capacity-building programmes for vendors and sub-
contractors are conducted by the company and the 
programme provides training on EHS, business process 
improvement and sustainability. 

The Company also ensures compliance by its vendors 
and contractors through periodical assessment, quality 
inspection and EHS audits.

PRINCIPLE 2: BUSINESSES SHOULD  
PROVIDE GOODS AND SERVICES    
THAT ARE SAFE AND CONTRIBUTE TO  
SUSTAINABILITY THROUGHOUT THEIR  
LIFE-CYCLE

L&T ensures that environment, health and safety aspects 
are taken into consideration at the design stage itself, 
while manufacturing products or providing services 
to customers. It is our endeavour to provide safe and 
sustainable goods and services to our clients. Our 
business portfolio consists of infrastructure, energy (oil 
& gas / power), defence, heavy engineering, electrical 
& automation products, hydrocarbon projects, IT, 
technological services and financial services. Sustainability 
aspects, including lower emissions and resource 
conservation, are integrated into our engineering and 
design. The Company also provides training to customers 
and customers’ personnel in the safe use and handling of 
products. 

L&T offers conservation-based products and projects, 
such as Green Buildings, wastewater treatment and 
recycling plants and solar-PV-based power plants.  These 
help our clients prevent pollution and conserve resources. 

At our own campuses, we have 17 certified Green 
buildings including one green factory. Our 24 campuses 
have adopted the zero-wastewater discharge approach 
and continue to ensure water positive status. Energy 
efficiency programs and climate change mitigation 

From world-class airports to metro systems, L&T’s sustainable infrastructure helps people travel with ease

25
25

measures are extensively implemented across L&T, 
contributing towards greener campuses and project sites.  
Renewable energy is harnessed at campuses and project 
sites as well. 

Our green product and services portfolio consists of 
metro rail projects, efficient power transmission and 
distribution systems, small hydro-electric power stations, 
solar-PV-based power plants, green buildings, energy 
efficient equipment (power management systems, AC 
drives, smart metering), water treatment & distribution 
infrastructure, supercritical and ultra-supercritical thermal 
power plants and equipment and coal gasifiers.  Our 
green portfolio is focused on minimising environmental 
impact, e.g. reduced water consumption, carbon 
emissions and material consumption and reduced 
waste-generation.  These help our clients to move on the 
low-carbon economy path. 

The Company extensively participates in the ‘Make 
in India’ programme and promotes local sourcing of 
products and services. The transportation of material 
at the project sites is optimized based on the project 
execution stage. Many of our infrastructure projects are 
at remote locations, and therefore goods and services are 
procured from local producers and surrounding areas as 
far as possible. 

L&T has adopted the 3R (Reduce, Recycle & Recover) 
principle for material conservation. Material recycling 
and use of alternative material (in place of natural 
material) is extensively practiced by our infrastructure 
business. The Sustainability Roadmap 2021 targets 
increasing recycling / use of recycled material by 5%. 

Fly ash substitutes cement, crushed sand is used in place 
of natural sand, and blast furnace slag is used. These are 
some of the conservation methods extensively practiced 
at project sites. However, since most of our products are 
‘engineered to order’ and based on customer-specific 
requirement, the use of recycled material for products is 
limited.  

  PRINCIPLE 3: BUSINESS SHOULD  
  PROMOTE WELL-BEING OF EMPLOYEES

The Company’s growth truly depends upon the growth 
of employees within the organization. The commitment 
of employees, their enthusiasm and dedication helps L&T 
to become a truly global conglomerate. The Company 
nurtures its talent through its leadership program, 
training, motivation and rewarding performance. The 
Corporate Human Resources Policy has set up a strong 
framework for workforce management. Fostering a

training modules are diverse.  They are prepared by 
subject experts and culled from various knowledge 
sources. ATL courses are interactive, engaging and

Safety of the workforce is given top-most priority in all 
activities across facilities and project sites. Every task, job  
or assignment must be performed in a safe manner only. 
This is the basis of our work execution. We have a  
structured approach towards safety, with assigned  
individual objectives. Management commitment to safety

taking business decisions. 

Our focus area is effective implementation of health and

L&T maps both internal and external stakeholders along 
with vulnerable, marginalized and disadvantaged 
stakeholders. This enables us to understand that our 
stakeholders comprise a large and mixed community with 
varied and extended expectations, and L&T always strives 
to match their expectations. 

L&T engages regularly with stakeholders through various 
programmes as they are a central part of L&T’s  
decision-making process. Being a professionally managed 
organization, our constant quest is to create value for all 
stakeholders and at the same time, serve the wider interests 
of society. Our dedicated Corporate Brand Management  
& Communication (CBMC) department facilitates the  
continuous dialogue between stakeholders and the  
Company. 

L&T is a pioneer in providing an anti-depression help-line 
for its employees in India in collaboration with Tata Institute 
of Social Science (TISS).

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) department 
runs specific programmes focused on providing livelihood 
opportunities to vulnerable and marginalized stakeholders, 
both near and away from our campuses and project sites 
to ensure that the benefits reach the maximum number of 
beneficiaries. 

One of our flagship CSR programmes is ‘Integrated 
Community Development (ICD)’ which focuses on 
improving the quality of life of communities living in the 
‘water-stressed’ regions of India. The ICD programme 
works towards providing access to clean drinking water, 
sanitation facilities and water for agriculture in water- 
stressed regions. It is followed up with CSR interventions  
in health, education and skill-building. 

It aims to create a safer work environment for our  
employees, contractors and customers through rigorous 
systems, procedures and firm implementation. This is also 
extended to our supply chain partners as well. Our  
Corporate Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) policy  
articulates our commitment towards building a safe 
workplace and defines protocols to be followed by each 
business across India and abroad. The safety performance 
of the Company is reviewed on a quarterly basis by the 
Company’s Board. 

Regular safety training is undertaken, including Tool Box 
Talks, emergency mock drills and specific safety  
interventions. New employees are introduced to the aspects 
of safety and all contract workmen receive mandatory  
safety training before commencement of work. L&T is 
the first corporate organization in India to be accredited 
as ‘Course Provider’ by National Examination Board in 
Occupational Safety & Health (NEBOSH), United Kingdom 
(UK) for delivering International General Certificate and by

delivering their course.

More than 3.8 million man-hours of safety training were 
provided in FY 2017-18 to our workforce. Our wellness 
program ‘Working on Wellness’ is a unique initiative  
undertaken by Corporate Health and Welfare  
Department, which conducts counselling, awareness 
sessions, health programs, diagnostics camps and health 
workshop activities aimed at enhance employees’ wellness 
and well-being at office. These health interventions are 
grouped into six critical areas like, cancer, diabetes, cardiac 
disease, obesity, ergonomic issues and stress.

  Principle 5: Business should respect and  
  promote Human Rights

L&T is an Indian Multi-national Company (MNC) with a 
presence in over 30 countries, and is exposed to human 
rights issues. L&T publishes an annual Communication 
On Progress (COP) as part of its compliance to UN 
Global Compact (UNGC) and being a member of 
Global Compact Network India (GCNI). The policies 
and practices related to human rights are extended to 
subsidiary and associate companies as well.  L&T’s Human 
Resource Policy covers human rights aspects and ILO 
conventions.

Prohibition of child labour, prohibition of forced and 
compulsory labour, non-discrimination, freedom of 
collective bargaining etc. are covered in our Code of 
Conduct for employees and Human Resource Policy. The 
Policy for Protection of Women’s Rights at Workplace 
is implemented to address sexual harassment at the 
workplace. We conduct periodical training to employees 
on various aspects on human rights. Different training 
media are used for classroom sessions, policy manual 
presentations, intranet and posters. The Company 
complies with applicable regulatory requirements such 
as the Factories Act 1948, Building & Other Construction 
Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions 
of Service) Act 1996, Industrial Disputes Act 1947 
and amendments thereof. Two complaints of sexual 
harassment at work place were received, investigated and 
resolved as per the provisions of the Sexual Harassment 

of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and 
Redressal) Act, 2013 along with its Rules. There are no 
pending complaints with the Company.

Our Combined CoC for suppliers and vendors covers 
Human Rights clauses, and all new suppliers must 
confirm their adherence to these clauses before they can 
commence business with L&T.

  Principle 6: Business should respect,  
  protect and make efforts to restore the  
  environment

Environment protection and the conservation of natural 
resources are part of L&T’s business philosophy. Our 
Corporate Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Policy lays 
emphasis on incorporating environmental consideration 
into all business processes. As a part of our Sustainability 
programme, we set quantifiable targets with a timeline 
and action plan to achieve them since 2009. Our 
Sustainability Roadmap 2021 is aligned with our business 
plan, LAKSHYA 2021, which consists of measurable 
targets and key initiatives. The Sustainability Roadmap 
is extended to S&A companies and they are encouraged 
to set similar targets for themselves. Periodically, 
environmental risks and opportunities are identified 
from operations and addressed at the business level. We 
take our sustainability practices to our supply chain to 
create awareness and bring them abreast with current 
environmental issues (at regional and global level) and 
how these can adversely impact their operations. We also 

Our water conservation efforts have resulted in all 24 of L&T’s campuses being water positive 

30
30

 
 
 
 
share with our vendors, opportunities made available by 
following sustainability practices and its benefit to them. 
More than 18,000 suppliers have signed our combined 
CoC, which is the first step towards following a 
structured sustainability programme in our supply chain.

We continue to conduct water assessment surveys at 
our major campuses. All 24 campuses maintained their 
‘Water Positive’ status in 2017-18. Water conservation 
and rain water harvesting are practiced within our 
premises; additionally our community interventions 
consist of rain water harvesting, check dam construction, 
creation of farm ponds, soil moisture conservation 
programmes, etc. The results are very encouraging.   
Our 24 campuses have been maintaining zero 
wastewater discharge status since 2014, and our 
community intervention programmes have helped us to 
conserve more than 2800 million litres of water annually.

Our climate change interventions programme focuses 
on climate change mitigation and abatement. We focus 
on reducing the energy consumption intensity (GJ/billion 
turnover), implementing energy conservation projects 
and increasing the use of renewable energy at our 
operations. We also intend to reduce our GHG intensity 
(tonnes of GHG emissions/billion turnover).

This year, we achieved Carbon Neutrality for two of 
our Campuses, i.e. Powai (Mumbai) and Chennai. 

We have aligned our practices with Government 
of India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change 
(NAPCC) and its eight Missions, and its annual progress 
is published in our Sustainability Report. Increased 

Tree plantation initiatives across L&T campuses help create natural carbon sinks

energy efficiency, developing low emission technologies, 
building sustainable infrastructure, increasing green 
cover and dissemination of sustainability knowledge are 
adopted by the organization. We invest in lower emission 
and cleaner programmes, thus promoting sustainable 
growth.  Our green product and services portfolio helps 
our clients to reduce their carbon footprint. 

We comply with applicable environmental regulatory 
requirements from the State Pollution Control Board 
(SPCB) and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). 
Quarterly compliance is submitted by each business 
and checked by the Corporate Secretarial department. 
In addition, annual sustainability assurance by an 
independent assurance agency covers compliance to 
environmental regulations, including submission of the 
compliance report to the regulatory agency. During 
2017-18, there were no pending or unresolved show 
cause / legal notices from CPCB / SPCB. 

Renewable energy at manufacturing campuses is utilized, 
wherever feasible. Currently,  six campuses are sourcing 
renewable energy (wind and solar) from external sources, 
and all 24 campuses are generating renewable energy 
onsite.  

Fully-grown trees are natural carbon sinks, and 
biodiversity plays an important role in sustenance 
of human lives on this planet. L&T undertakes tree 
plantation both within and outside its premises (as part 
of our CSR programme) and we engage with agencies 
/ NGOs to conduct plantation at public places, national 
parks and on Government land. During Tree Plantation 
Week (1st July - 7th July 2017), we planted more than 

31

a) 

In the preparation of Annual Accounts, the applicable 
accounting standards have been followed along with 
proper explanation relating to material departures;

b)  The Directors have selected such accounting policies 
and applied them consistently and made judgements 
and estimates that are reasonable and prudent so as 
to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of 
the Company at the end of the financial year and of 
the profit of the Company for that period;

c)  The Directors have taken proper and sufficient care 

for the maintenance of adequate accounting records 
in accordance with the provisions of the Companies 
Act, 2013 for safeguarding the assets of the Company 
and for preventing and detecting fraud and other 
irregularities;

d)  The Directors have prepared the Annual Accounts on 

a going concern basis;

e)  The Directors have laid down an adequate system 
of internal financial control to be followed by the 
Company and such internal financial controls are 
adequate and operating efficiently; 

f) 

The Directors have devised proper systems to ensure 
compliance with the provisions of all applicable laws

driven framework for Internal Financial Controls (“IFC”) 
within the meaning of the explanation to Section 134(5)
(e) of the Companies Act, 2013. For the year ended 31st 
March 2018, the Board is of the opinion that the Company 
has sound IFC commensurate with the nature and size 
of its business operations and operating effectively and 
no material weakness exists. The Company has a process 
in place to continuously monitor the same and identify 
gaps, if any, and implement new and/or improved controls

Directors responded through a structured questionnaire 
giving feedback about the performance of the Board, its 
Committees, Individual directors and the Chairman. 

For the year under review, the questionnaire was modified 
substantially, based on the comments and suggestions 
received from Independent Directors. During the previous 
year(s) an external consultant was engaged to receive the 
responses of the Directors and consolidate/ analyze the 
responses. Based on the experience gained, during the 
current year, the same external consultant’s IT platform 
was used from initiation and till conclusion of the entire 
board evaluation process. This ensured that the process 
was transparent and independent of involvement of 
the Management or the Company’s IT system. This has 
enabled unbiased feedback.

v)  Remuneration Policy:

The remuneration of the Board members 
is based on the Company’s size & global 
presence, its economic & financial position, 
industrial trends, compensation paid by the 
peer companies, etc. Compensation reflects 
each Board member’s responsibility and

executives.

The Company pays remuneration to 
Executive Directors by way of salary, 
perquisites & retirement benefits (fixed 
components) & commission (variable 
component), based on recommendation 
of the NRC, approval of the Board and the 
shareholders. The commission payable is

net profits of the Company in the financial 
year subject to overall ceilings stipulated 
under Section 197 of the Companies Act,

interacts with all the Non-Executive Directors 
& Independent Directors on a one-to-one

vi)  Training & Succession Planning:
The Company has institutionalized 
Leadership Development through a Seven 
Step leadership pipeline for development of a 
robust stage-wise leadership by a structured 
process of talent management. The 
thrust is on facilitating the transformation 
of managers into leaders, leaders into 
‘corporate entrepreneurs (intrapreneurs)’ 
and to create a large pool of leaders who 
can envision, inspire, and successfully deploy 
global growth strategies thus creating a 
result-oriented culture of multiplying value.

Each step of this Leadership pipeline 
development process has been meticulously 
customized to equip managers at various 
levels, with the required knowledge, skill 
& mind-set to transition seamlessly to 
the next level of leadership and global 
entrepreneurship. In this effort, the Company 
has partnered with globally renowned senior 
faculty and premier institutes like Harvard 
Business School, INSEAD, IIM Ahmedabad, 
and Stephen M. Ross School of Business- 
University of Michigan. The programs are 
designed to provide inputs on vital areas 
of strategic importance such as innovation 
based strategies, integrated business models 
to take on global multinationals, cross-
cultural challenges, organic and inorganic 
growth etc., and thus mark an important 
milestone in the journey towards leadership 
development in the global context. 

To facilitate enhanced global acumen & 
international exposure, which are critical 
competencies for establishing a global 
footprint, the Company continues to 
nominate select senior leaders for Advanced 
Management Programs offered by globally 
renowned business schools like INSEAD, 
Wharton, Harvard, IMD, London Business 
School, Oxford and the likes. As a part 
of Leadership development at the top 
echelons of the organization, a structured 
& systematic approach to mentoring has 
been initiated to leverage on the leadership 
experiences & networks of senior leaders and 
to enable them to leave a legacy of success 
mantras. 

In order to continuously monitor the 
progress of high potentials (HIGH POTS) 
who go through the Seven Step Leadership 
Development process and to ensure that 
they are given challenging roles and 
responsibilities, a Top Talent Management 
System is also put in place which is essential 
to ensure progress of a strong leadership 
pipeline.

To ensure that the Company has sufficient 
pool of probable employees who can be 
nominated for Leadership Pipeline, efforts 
are taken at the grass root level. There 
exists several structured core developmental 
programs, conducted by reputed institutions 
like IIM-Bangalore, IIM-Calcutta, XLRI, 
Symbiosis and NMIMS for deserving

employees to develop superior management 
skills and capabilities. A host of strategic 
and behavioural programs are conducted to 
address specific training and developmental 
needs of employees. A comprehensive 
e-learning portal ATL (Any Time Learning) is 
available with multiple on-line programs and 
courses for employees to enable learning ‘at 
any time, at any place’ at locations remote 
or otherwise. The portal provides access to 
on-line data bases, references, management 
videos, e-books and journals.

The NRC reviews on a periodic basis the 
succession planning process being followed 
by the Company especially at the level of the 
Board and senior management.

(VDCs) have been formed across locations, 
with participation from women. A quarterly 
review of the ICD projects is done with the 
village Panchayats and local authorities.

Access to cleaner water, hygienic 
surroundings, better health, education and 
new skills, has altered the lives of around 1 
million individuals through our CSR Programs 
in 2017-18.

All CSR projects have defined goals and 
milestones which are tracked as per the 
periodicity defined for the project. The 
progress is compared with the baseline data 
that is gathered before the commencement 
of the project. This is carried out through 
an onsite evaluation as well as the reports 
generated from the project. The indirect 
impacts that accrue are also factored and 
documented in the monthly reporting 
process. These are subsequently vetted /
measured during the external Social Audit or 
Impact Assessment. The social audit report is 
discussed during the Committee meetings.

The detailed disclosures of CSR spending 
during the year has been given in Annexure 
‘C’ forming part of this Board Report. Please 
refer to pages 95 to 99 of this Annual 
Report.

G.  OTHER INFORMATION

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

The internal newsletters of the Company, the 
press releases, etc. are circulated to all the 
Directors so that they are updated about the 
operations of the Company.

Presentations are made regularly to the Board 
/ NRC / Audit Committee (AC) (minutes of AC,

the Board), where Directors get an opportunity 
to interact with senior managers. Presentations, 
inter alia, cover business strategies, management

meetings, when senior company personnel are 
asked to make presentations about performance 
of their Independent Company (IC) / Business 
Unit, to the Board. 

Some of the Independent Directors are members 
of the IC Board. They share the learnings from 
these meetings with the remaining Non-Executive 
Directors / Independent Directors formally and

these Directors meet senior management in IC 
meetings and informal gatherings.

Independent Directors, the Company has stated 
that it will facilitate attending seminars/programs/

a)  Directors’ Familiarization Program:

c)  Vigil Mechanism / Whistle Blower Policy :

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

The Company has a Whistle Blower Policy in 
place since April 2004. The said policy was 
modified in line with the requirements of the 

81

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Vigil Mechanism under the Companies Act, 2013. 
The Company has a Whistle Blower Investigation 
Committee (WBIC) to manage complaints from 
“Identified” Whistle Blowers. In addition, WBIC 
considers “Anonymous” complaints which in 
their judgement are serious in nature and require 
investigation. The WBIC has four members viz. 
Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary, Head-
Corporate HR and Chief Internal Auditor. The 
WBIC is responsible for end to end management 
of the investigations from receipt of complaints 
to bringing them to a logical conclusion, keeping 
in mind the interest of the Company.

Employees are encouraged to report any 
wrong-doings having an adverse effect on the 
Company’s financials / image. An employee can 
report any wrong-doing in oral or written form. 
Whistle-blowers are assured by the management 
of full protection from any kind of harassment, 
retaliation, victimization or unfair treatment.

Complaints under the Whistle Blower Policy are 
received by the Corporate Audit Services of the 
Company. The Chief Internal Auditor reviews 
the same and convenes a meeting of the WBIC 
for discussions. The WBIC, after screening 
the complaint, decides on the further course 
of action which will include requesting the 
complainant to provide further details, internal 
investigation by the Internal Audit department, 
investigation by external agencies, wherever 
necessary, opportunity to the defendant to 
present his / her case, etc. Based on the findings 
of the investigation, the WBIC decides the action 
to be taken and recommends the same to the 
Executive Committee for implementation.

The WBIC meets formally and reviews the 
complaints and their progress. In addition, 
discussions also take place over video-
conferencing, telephone and emails amongst the 
WBIC members.

The Audit Committee is periodically briefed about 
the various cases received, the status of the 
investigation, findings and action taken, if any.

During the year, the Company has investigated 
the complaints received under the Whistle Blower 
Policy and suitable action has been taken against 
employees, wherever necessary.

Also please refer to pages 58 and 59 of the Board 
Report.

d)  Statutory Auditors:

In the case of appointment of new auditors, a 
Committee, comprising of the Chairman of the 
Audit Committee, the CFO and the Company 
Secretary, evaluates various audit firms based 
on approved criteria as given herein below. The 
Audit firms are required to make a presentation 
to this Committee. The Committee considers 
factors such as compliance with the legal 
provisions, number / nature / size and variation 
in client base, skill sets available in the firm both 
at partner level and staff level, international 
experience, systems and processes followed by 
the firm, training and development by the firm 
to its partners and staff, etc. during the process 
of evaluation. Based on merit and the factors 
mentioned above, the Committee finalizes the 
firm to be appointed and recommends the same 
to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee 
reviews the same before recommending to the 
Board and shareholders for approval.

The above process was followed by the Company 
while appointing M/s Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION POLICY 
INTRODUCTION

As per Regulation 43A of the Securities and Exchange 
Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure 
Requirements) Regulations, 2015, prescribed Listed 
Companies are required to frame a Dividend Distribution 
Policy.

PURPOSE 

The purpose of this Policy is to regulate the process of 
dividend declaration and its pay-out by the Company 
which would ensure a regular dividend income for the 
shareholders and long term capital appreciation for all 
stakeholders of the Company. 

AUTHORITY

This Policy has been adopted by the Board of Directors of 
Larsen & Toubro Limited (‘the Company’) at its Meeting 
held on 22nd November, 2016. The Policy shall also be 
displayed in the annual reports and also on the website of 
the Company.

FORMS OF DIVIDENDS

The Companies Act provides for two forms of Dividend: 

• 

Final Dividend

The final dividend is paid once for the financial 
year after the annual accounts are prepared. The 
Board of Directors of the Company has the power 
to recommend the payment of final dividend to the 
shareholders for their approval at the general meeting 
of the Company. The declaration of final dividend 
shall be included in the ordinary business items that 
are required to be transacted at the Annual General 
Meeting.

• 

Interim Dividend

This form of dividend can be declared by the Board of 
Directors one or more times in a financial year as may 
be deemed fit by it. The Board of Directors shall have 
the absolute power to declare interim dividend during 
the financial year, in line with this policy. The Board 
should consider declaring an interim dividend after 
finalization of quarterly/ half yearly financial results. 
This would be in order to supplement the annual 
dividend or to reward shareholders in exceptional 
circumstances. 

QUANTUM OF DIVIDEND AND DISTRIBUTION

Dividend payout in a particular year shall be determined 
after considering the operating and financial performance 

140

of the Company and the cash requirement for financing 
the Company’s future growth. In line with the past 
practice, the payout ratio is expected to grow in 
accordance with the profitable growth of the Company 
under normal circumstances.

DECLARATION OF DIVIDEND

Dividend shall be declared or paid only out of-

1)  Current financial year’s profit:

a)  after providing for depreciation in accordance 

with law;

b)  after transferring to reserves such amount as may 
be prescribed or as may be otherwise considered 
appropriate by the Board at its discretion

2)  The profits for any previous financial year(s) after 

providing for depreciation in accordance with law and 
remaining undistributed; or

3)  out of 1) & 2) both.

The circumstances under which shareholders may not 
expect dividend/when the dividend could not be declared 
by the Company shall include, but are not limited to, the 
following:

a.  Due to operation of any other law in force;

b.  Due to losses incurred by the Company and the Board 
considers it appropriate not to declare dividend for 
any particular year;

c.  Due to any restrictions and covenants contained in 
any agreement as may be entered with the Lenders 
and

d.  Due to any default on part of the Company.

FACTORS AFFECTING DIVIDEND DECLARATION:

The Dividend pay-out decision of any company, depends 
upon certain external and internal factors- 

External Factors:

• 

Legal/ Statutory Provisions and Regulatory concern: 
The Board should keep in mind the restrictions 
imposed by Companies Act, any other applicable 
laws with regard to declaration and distribution 
of dividend. Further, any restrictions on payment 
of dividends by virtue of any regulation as may be 
applicable to the Company may also impact the 
declaration of dividend.

 
 
 
 
• 

State of Economy: The Board will endeavor to retain 
larger part of profits to build up reserves to absorb 
future shocks in case of uncertain or recessionary 
economic conditions and in situation where the policy 
decisions of the Government have a bearing on or 
affect the business of the Company.

• 

•  Nature of Industry: The nature of industry in which 
a company is operating, influences the dividend 
decision. Like the industries with stable demand 
throughout the year are in a position to have stable 
earnings and thus declare stable dividends.

• 

Taxation Policy: The tax policy of a country also 
influences the dividend policy of a company. The 
rate of tax directly influences the amount of profits 
available to the Company for declaring dividends. 

•  Capital Markets: In case of unfavorable market 
conditions, Board may resort to a conservative 
dividend pay-out in order to conserve cash outflows 
and reduce the cost of raising funds through alternate 
resources.

Internal Factors:

Apart from the various external factors, the Board shall 
take into account various internal factors including the 
financial parameters while declaring dividend, which inter 
alia will include -

•  Magnitude and Stability of Earnings: The extent of 
stability and magnitude of company’s earnings will 
directly influence the dividend declaration. Thus, the 
dividend is directly linked with the availability of the 
earnings (including accumulated earnings) with the 
Company.

• 

Liquidity Position: A company’s liquidity position also 
determines the level of dividend. If a company does 
not have sufficient cash resources to make dividend 
payment, then it may reduce the amount of dividend 
pay-out.

Future Requirements: If a company foresees some 
profitable investment opportunities in near future 
including but not limited to Brand/ Business 
Acquisitions, Expansion/Modernization of existing 
businesses, Additional investments in subsidiaries/
associates of the Company, Fresh investments into 
external businesses, then it may decide for lower 
dividend payout and vice-versa.

• 

Leverage profile and liabilities of the Company.

•  Any other factor as deemed fit by the Board.

RETAINED EARNINGS

The portion of profits not distributed among the 
shareholders but retained and used in business are termed 
as retained earnings. It is also referred to as ploughing 
back of profit. The Company should ensure to strike 
the right balance between the quantum of dividend 
paid and amount of profits retained in the business for 
various purposes. These earnings may be utilized for 
internal financing of its various projects and for fixed as 
well as working capital. Thus the retained earnings shall 
be utilized for carrying out the main objectives of the 
Company and maintaining adequate liquidity levels.

PARAMETERS THAT SHALL BE ADOPTED WITH 
REGARD TO VARIOUS CLASSES OF SHARE

The Company does not have different classes of shares 
and follows the ‘one share, one vote’ principle.

REVIEW & AMENDMENT

The Policy shall be reviewed as and when required 
to ensure that it meets the objectives of the relevant 
legislation and remains effective. The Executive 
Management Committee has the right to change/amend 
the policy as may be expedient taking into account the law 
for the time being in force.

Management 
Discussion and
Analysis

Indian economy
The domestic market had its fair share of upheavals in 
the financial year under review. A combination of deferral 
of award decisions and the implementation of long term 
reforms causing short term economic turbulence have led 
to a muted environment for project execution. For example, 
the introduction of GST from 1st July, 2017 caused 
disruption for a few quarters during which time businesses 
and Government agencies grappled with this new nation-
wide taxation system. Other reform measures such as 
Demonetisation, RERA and the Insolvency & Bankruptcy 
Code have also impacted business momentum in the short 
term, but are expected to lead to sustained economic 
growth in the long run.

Some positive effects have already started being felt 
through higher tax revenues and the gradual formalisation 
of the economy with its consequent widening of the 
tax base. This is likely to give the Central Government 
better wherewithal to allocate higher levels of funding 
for essential infrastructure projects. These investments 
are being supplemented by increased State Government 
spending, greater capex by financially strong PSUs and 
increased quantum of soft lending by bi-lateral and multi-
lateral lending agencies.

Some areas of public sector infrastructure capex have seen 
strong investment momentum and some large investment 
programs have been kicked off. The thrust of the 
Government on roads, conventional and metro railways, 
water management systems and irrigation projects, power 
generation facilities, power transmission & distribution, 
affordable housing, healthcare facilities, build out of smart 

148
148

city infrastructure, and tying up of energy security through 
stronger oil & gas infrastructure has given an impetus to 
domestic awards during the year.

Rural development
The Government has also been focusing on developing 
core infrastructure in rural areas, mainly focused on roads, 
power availability to rural households through intensive 
electrification, irrigation of cultivable land and direct 
transfer of subsidies to families in the BPL segment through 
the expanding base of Jan Dhan Bank Accounts linked with 
Aadhar. Considerable headway has been made in all these 
areas and millions of rural people have been lifted out of 
the ‘BPL zone’ over the last few years.

Global economic scenario
International markets have witnessed noticeable volatility, 
triggered by geo-political events, significant movements in 
currency and commodities, protectionist policies including 
tariff barriers, a prolonged bout of low oil prices, and 
constrained fiscal positions of oil producing nations. The 
recent hardening of oil prices is likely to now give better 
leeway to policy makers in GCC countries to allocate 
increased outlay on essential infrastructure.

The Company has also been reducing its dependence on 
business from the Middle East and is focusing on expanding 
business in East & North Africa Region (including Algeria 
and Egypt) as well as East Asian countries.

Private sector investments
Private sector investments have remained muted and are 
expected to take some more time before a wholesome 
revival can be seen across sectors like Infrastructure PPP, 
industrial capex, consumption driven capex and real estate 
growth. The growing impact of non-performing loans on 
the balance sheets of banks continues to impact the credit 
growth of the banking system.

Focus on long term profitable growth
The ongoing initiatives currently under way include a focus 
on digitalization, strengthening execution and operational 
efficiency, unlocking business value, better asset utilisation, 
judicious use of working capital, business portfolio 
rationalisation and higher shareholder payouts are enabling 
the company to perform well on key parameters and 
improve Returns on Equity.

Infrastructure
Business

Infrastructure Business Scenario
Indian Construction Sector 
Infrastructure in India has come a long way with 
consolidation in the last 2 years (i.e.) 2015 – 2017. Order 
awards especially from the Government including both 
State and Central have further triggered the momentum in 
the current year (2018), which is expected to drive robust 
topline growth of the construction sector in the coming 
years, given the conversion cycle.

Furthermore, Budget 2018-19 is a pragmatic effort, 
fine balancing the requirement of fiscal rectitude while 
keeping in focus the need to connect the missing links in 
infrastructure and farm sector development. 

The budget has reiterated the need for infrastructure 
investments as the ‘sine qua non’  for sustained growth 
with a requirement of R 50 lakh crore, which has to come 
partly from the the Government but importantly through 
‘crowding in’ of investments from the private sector. Much 
stress has been laid on urbanization through adoption of 
smart cities and smart infrastructure and construction of 

large linear infrastructure projects in transportation like 
‘Bharat Mala’, aviation and ports. More importantly, the 
attendant structural reforms through the adoption of the 
IBC and clear emphasis on recapitalization of the banking 
system and strategic disinvestment targets reflected the 
long term commitment of the Government. Such incentives 
will release risk capital, lower risk averseness of the financial 
sector and lead to the upturn of the private capex cycle.

Global Construction Sector
The global infrastructure segment is more buoyant than 
it has been for the last few years and the sentiment is 
positive. Global construction stepped into its stride in 
2017 as the economic backdrop brightened and boosted 
optimism. The USA is enjoying rapid economic growth, 
European markets are catching up and China continues to 
surprise. 

IMF forecasts global GDP to increase by 3.9 percent in 
2018. The construction sector has a strong correlation with 
economic growth. Construction’s share of the economy 
expands in greater proportion when GDP rises above a 
moderate rate. Increasing construction activity around 
the globe is expected to drive with global growth gaining 
momentum and more importantly developed economies 
still accounting for about half of global construction.

Finally, though the sharp rise in crude prices is a double 
edged sword, this raises expectations for the oil and gas 
sector and infrastructure development in the middle East 
which would auger well for the construction sector.

Business Environment Review
The past two years have been very challenging for the 
construction industry. The customer base of the business 
showed a clear shift towards Government clients, as the 
private sector deferred their investment plans due to 
uncertainties caused by various economic developments. 
Though RERA and GST were positives for the industrial 
growth, the sudden implementation of these policies 
brought India’s economy to a standstill for a few months. 
The first half of the financial year was quite challenging 
for the business, which has slowly stabilized, progressing 
towards healthy GDP growth.

The year saw receipt of some breakthrough orders 
from prestigious clients. Major orders were secured 

Most of the airport projects that were deferred during the 
last year have started showing positive movement this year.

The IT sector in India remained sluggish. The Government 
has been active in implementing various health care 
schemes and establishing hospitals. On the whole, the 
business scenario has been better than the previous year’s.

The Qatar embargo had some impact on the ongoing jobs. 
There were no major orders from the GCC, as the economy 
is reviving, with crude oil prices stabilizing after a steep fall. 

Despite uncertain market conditions, the Buildings & 
Factories business has managed to win major orders and 
has continued to maintain its leadership position in the 
industry. 

Initiatives
Apart from continuing its focus on technological 
advancements and R&D, the business has also introduced 
major initiatives with the objective of strengthening 
its customer portfolio, steadying business growth, and 
expanding into emerging markets. Key moves have been 
taken to strengthen the organization and follow a focused 
approach towards projects that complement our strengths. 
Various digital initiatives that were introduced last year 
have been successfully implemented, and are operational 
across all sites of the business. Value engineering, effective 
procurement and supply chain management, operational 
excellence, mechanized execution and innovative 
construction methodologies have improved project cycle 
times, enhanced profitability and delivered quality. The 
business is associated with leading universities and industry 
experts, pioneering use of Robotics and 3D printing in 
construction.

Safety at work is of utmost importance to L&T’s Buildings & 
Factories business, and the focus continues by organizing 

various training and awareness programmes throughout 
the year. Various initiatives have been taken up to digitally 
monitor, record and review all safety-related aspects at site.

Awards & Recognitions
For the second time in a row, the business has been 
awarded the prestigious ‘Sword of Honour’ from the British 
Safety Council. 

1.  B&F received three British Sword of Honour awards and 
a five star certification from the British Safety Council

2.  Ten projects won the Gold Awards from The Royal 

Society For Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA)

3.  16 projects were awarded by the National Safety 

Council.

4.  Indian Building Congress award for precast initiatives

5.  Outstanding Contribution in Commercial Project award 

from EPC World

6.  Two awards for ‘Outstanding Concrete Structure’ from 
Indian Concrete Institute and Two Construction Week 
India Awards

Outlook 
With expected GDP growth between 7.0 to 7.8% and 
with Government’s continued focus on reforms, improved 
World Bank ranking for ‘Doing Business’ and Moody’s 
rating upgrade is expected to lift investor sentiment and 
accelerate FDI flows in long-term. Some of the tailwinds 
are:

•  Airport traffic growth in the country will necessitate 

immediate requirements of airport expansions within the 
country.

•  India is experiencing much growth in medical tourism, 
and the industry is expected to double its size by end 
2018. 

•  The Government has provided infrastructure status to 

Affordable Housing. The relaxation of FDI in real estate 
will steadily boost investment in this sector. 

In the international arena, Bangladesh and the GCC offer 
promising opportunities. The crude oil price is on a rising 
trend. This is a healthy sign for the GCC’s economy and will 
boost revival of stalled investment plans.

L&T’s Buildings & Factories business is a proven player in the 
construction industry, with an exemplary record of handling 
major design-and-build projects and executing them within 
stringent timelines. 

Overall, the environment is promising, yet challenging, with 
a long process duration and increased competition.

Outlook
RREC business
As the road sector is opening up, the Government aims 
to spend close to R 7 lakh crore over the next five years 
to develop 83,677 km of roads including Bharat Mala 
Pariyojana worth R 5.4 lakh crore.

The Government aims to build 45 km of roads per day in 
financial year 2019, an increase from the daily average of 
almost 27 km achieved last year. 

The Ministry has also set targets of awarding orders of 
20,000 km of National Highways and constructing a total 
of 16,420 km in 2018-19 – up from last year’s award of 
orders for 17,055 km highways and 9,829 km constructed.

Railway Business
Indian Railways are planning the highest outlay of 
R 1.46 lakh crore for FY 18-19 – an increase over last year’s 
outlay of R 1.31 lakh crore.

The high-speed rail project is the next big-ticket 
opportunity after the dedicated freight corridor 
projects. While the pipeline of projects from Western and 
Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor is concluding, the 
business is positively looking at the start of the bidding 
process for the 508 km Mumbai-Ahmedabad High 
Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR). With the enhanced value 
of the overall project at R 1,08,000 crore, L&T’s accessible 
value stands at R 59,000 crore, comprising packages 
for viaducts, undersea tunnel(s), stations, maintenance 
depots, track, electrification and signalling. L&T’s Railway 
business will focus on track, electrification and signalling & 
telecommunications.

Apart from the high-speed project, conventional projects 
of the Indian Railways continue to get a big thrust, backed 
by strong Institutional funders like LIC. These include 
25,000 km of electrification to be completed in 4 years 
under the banner of ‘Mission Electrification’. Also, the 
capacity augmentation projects of track doubling will 
involve construction of 17,000 km of additional tracks. The 
business intends to participate in a major portion of these 
projects through EPC tendering. 

Besides mainline railways, the opportunities in the Mass 
Transit Segment continue to be driven by Tier 2 Cities and 
‘Extension lines’ in large metros. Leveraging its overseas 
experience, the business is advocating the LRT solution 
on an EPC turnkey basis for cities like Vijayawada, Indore, 
Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram.

Internationally, the outlook on the Middle East construction 
industry is improving rapidly with the uptick in oil prices 
since mid-2017.

Growth in the region is expected, assuming a moderation 
of geopolitical tensions and a modest rise in oil prices. GCC 
economies are anticipated to lead stronger growth in the 
region, supported by easing fiscal adjustment, Tendering of 
mainline railway projects in Middle East is likely to resume. 
Having been part of a major urban transit system in 
Riyadh – which has progressed significantly – the business 
is gearing up to address these upcoming opportunities as 
well. Further infrastructure investment (such as the UAE 
Expo 2020) and reforms to promote non-oil sector activity 
are expected to offer opportunities. 

The business also has focus on the neighbouring 
geographies, with projects having secured funding either 

from the Indian government or from other bi-lateral/
multilateral agencies such as JICA. 

The business is exploring opportunities in main line railway 
funded by an Indian Line of Credit and multilateral agencies 
in select countries of South Asia (Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) 
and the African continent. 

The business is also exploring opportunities in new 
geographies such as Eastern Africa and CIS. It has already 
started bidding for tenders for projects funded by Indian 
LOC and AfDB in Mozambique and Zambia, and has 
received prequalification for ADB- funded EPC projects in 
Azerbaijan.

Infrastructure in FY 2018-19, which is approximately 
21% more than an estimated expenditure of 
R 4.94 lakh crore in 2017-18. This increase reconfirms 
the Government’s view that infrastructure development 
is the key to economic development. The Finance 
Minister has estimated that investment in excess of 
R 50 lakh crore in infrastructure is needed to augment 
the economy and make it competitive with the other 
emerging economies. A majority of this allocation has 
been earmarked to build metros, bridges, hydro power 
projects and tunnels, which form the core expertise 
of the Heavy Civil Infrastructure business. With major 
projects coming up, including the high-speed rail between 
Mumbai and Ahmedabad, the Bharatmala and Sagarmala 
river-linking projects, hydel projects on the Indus and its 
tributaries, etc., the business is confident on achieving 
its revenue targets backed by a strong order book and 
promising prospects.

opportunities in the region.

Business Environment
Thanks to a slew of Government schemes including 
‘Saubhagya’, the distribution sector in India remained 
vibrant in 2017–18. Having achieved electrification of 
all the villages, now the focus is on electrifying all the 
households. Also, the urban distribution revamp programs 
continue aiming at multiple objectives such as improving 
reliability of power, making the network disaster-resilient 
and improving the aesthetics of cities of tourism and 
heritage importance. The business maintained its leadership 
position as a large EPC player in this segment, with key 
orders from the states of Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, 
Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. 

The business is privileged to partner the Central and State 
Governments in illuminating thousands of households in 
economically backward areas and electrify hundreds of 
villages. In a large number of towns, it has significantly 
improved the quality of power and reduced AT&C 
(Aggregate Technical & Commercial) losses through 
distribution reformation projects. 

500kV HVDC Transmission Line at Kenya

With renewable power characterized by intermittency 
being added increasingly to the grid, advanced solutions 
to ensure voltage stability have been necessitated. L&T 
commissioned India’s first STATCOM project of ±100MVAR 
capacity at NP Kunta substation in Andhra Pradesh. A 
major order was received from Power Grid Corporation 
of India Limited (PGCIL) for implementation of STATCOM 
in three locations in South India. Substation-related 
opportunities in 400kV & 765kV GIS / AIS segments were 
steady as Central and select State utilities concentrated 
on power system strengthening schemes to meet their 
demands. Though there were positive signs on the policy 
front, the general lack of investments in conventional 
power generation and industry segments continues. Gas 
and air-insulated substation orders were received from 
PGCIL and State utilities including two major 400kV GIS 
substation orders from South Indian transmission utilities. 
Several key substation projects were commissioned 
including 765kV gas insulated substations at Hyderabad, 
Nizamabad, Varanasi and Aligarh.

Though the centrally driven transmission schemes were 
less than the prevailing levels, the intrastate system 
strengthening projects by States such as Jharkhand, 
Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and 
Uttarakhand continued to provide ample opportunities 
for transmission line construction. On the back of proven 
execution skills to complete projects within schedule, 
a repeat order from a reputed private developer was 
entrusted to the business. The Testing Station continues to 
attract orders from its customers worldwide – USA, KSA, 
China, Indonesia and Malaysia – to test some of the highest 
and tallest transmission towers in the world.

The Transmission Line business has commissioned about 20 
transmission corridors of 2800 km length in FY17-18. The 
400kV Raipur–Jagdalpur project is the longest twin line in a 
single package with a length of 328 km. Key projects such 
as 765kV Lalitpur-Agra Transmission Line (328 km) and the 
400kV Madhugiri–Gooty TL were commissioned for Power 
Grid. The 220kV Kishenganga–Amragarh TL has been 
successfully completed in Jammu & Kashmir, overcoming 
the tough challenges posed by the weather, terrain and 
local conditions. Other major projects commissioned 
include 400kV Banda–Allahabad TL in Uttar Pradesh and 
400kV Salem–Rasipalayam TL in Tamil Nadu.

With the country achieving a milestone 1 lakh GWHr of 
renewable energy generation in FY 2017–18, L&T’s Solar 
Business has seen remarkable growth. The business secured 
a cumulative 650 MWp+ capacity of grid- connected 
solar PV plants across India, including the prestigious 
order for 325 MWp in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, which is 
also the single largest EPC contract in India to date; 140 
MWp in Bhadla, Rajasthan and 187 MWp in Tamil Nadu. 
The business also won the prestigious Bihar State Rural 
Electrification project, the first-of-its-kind distributed 
generation project with a cumulative capacity of 12 MW 
solar and 105 MWh of energy storage, which aims to 
electrify 236 remote villages.

In the Middle East, though the macro economic scenario 
was mixed in 2017-18 as well, witnessing capex cuts 
and intensifying competition, the business could garner 
opportunities arising out of Expo 2020 related development 
in the UAE and stable T&D investment plans by KSA, Qatar 
and Oman. In the UAE, the business secured orders for 
constructing a number of 132kV gas insulated substations 

from Dubai Electricity & Water Authority and reputed 
private developers. Despite spend cuts induced by the drop 
in oil prices experienced earlier, causing a sense of anxiety 
in the business climate, L&T secured its longest transmission 
line in KSA (from Qassim to Madina – 421 km). Despite the 
imposition of trade embargo, the business secured a major 
order from a private developer in Qatar. L&T commissioned 
33 substations in the Middle East in FY 2017-18. Having 
qualified for the highest voltage levels in its lines of 
business, new private customers have also been added.

In Africa, the business has made an entry into the 
Moroccan and Egyptian markets. The foothold gained in 
Algeria, Malawi and Kenya has grown stronger on the back 
of fresh orders. 

With the completion of the substation projects on schedule 
in Malaysia, the business has demonstrated its capabilities 
and has won recognition in the ASEAN market. Major 
500kV substation and transmission line orders have been 
secured in Thailand. 

Significant Initiatives:
With a major thrust on digitalization as a key enabler, 
the business rolled out several initiatives, including 
3D/4D BIM, deployment of drones and mobility devices 
for project monitoring, connecting plant and machinery 
for asset monitoring, using geospatial technologies 
for surveys, etc. Workmen-related processes are being 
linked through unique identification. Several operational 
excellence initiatives in the areas of on-time delivery, 
profitability enhancement, effectiveness, checks of process 
implementation, working capital management and risk 
management are being pursued.

Initiatives undertaken to enhance safety in operations 
include e-learning modules, improvised safety cards for 
reporting unsafe acts/conditions, virtual reality-based 
training, upgrading Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) 
to reflect changing work methods and mechanization, 
adoption of the Sagging Bridge (Stringing Working 
Platform) technique and the use of motorized winch 
machines in place of tractors, in final sag activities and 
enhanced training on behaviour-based safety, safety audit 
and training the trainers. An innovative programme has 
been developed to groom fresh diploma engineers to take 
up roles as EHS professionals.

Training programmes have been developed in collaboration 
with prestigious institutions to enhance operational 
excellence.

Many initiatives earned awards and recognition for the 
business during the year. These include:

•   ISGF Innovation Award, Solar and Storage Project of 

the Year award from Solar Quarter for Bihar Microgrid 
project

•   Prashasti Patr (Commendation Certificate) from the Bihar 

Government for meeting electrification targets 

•   MEED ‘Power Project of the Year’ award for the Oman

awards for safety performance for multiple projects

•   Special appreciation was received from the Federation of 
Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) for 
RAPDRP Ghaziabad Project for best practices in Safety

Outlook:
On the power distribution front, several projects remain 
significant: the centrally-driven scheme for last-mile 
connectivity, viz. Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (Saubhagya), 
and various distribution reforms by State DISCOMs for 
reduction of AT&C losses, power factor improvement, 
network strengthening in disaster prone areas etc. Urban 
power infrastructure is expected to get a makeover, with 
underground cable networks, advanced metering facilities 
etc. considering the thrust on development of smart cities 
and heritage cities.

The increasing cost of land acquisition related delays have 
led power grid / State utilities to increasingly opt for GIS 
substations due to the small footprint they occupy. As the 
power transmission / transformation capacities to cater 
to the growing demand of urban centres increase, new 
opportunities will arise for EHV (Extra High Voltage) cabling 
projects in large cities keeping in view of the right-of-way, 
aesthetics and Operation & Maintenance aspects. The 
much-need impetus is expected to be provided by power 
quality improvement projects such as STATCOM, new 
clientele from TBCB (Tariff Based Competitive Bidding) 
players, state utilities strengthening their networks 
with funding from multilateral funding agencies, and 
infrastructure projects like metros and airports etc. The 
financial health of state utilities, the political situation in

several states and the availability of funding will remain key 
determinants.

Apart from the domestic market, the business is foreseeing 
the pipeline of opportunities from SAARC countries like 
Bangladesh, Nepal etc., which are funded by international 
funding agencies such as JICA, ADB, IsDB, etc.

rooftop segment looks positive. To harness solar power 
for rural India, the Government of India has formulated 
Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (KUSUM) 
scheme, which aims at solarizing the agriculture sector 
with ubiquitous use of solar power for tube wells and lift 
irrigation projects. Emergent areas like floatovoltaics hold 
promise.

System strengthening in state utilities will provide a 
major impetus to transmission line prospects. Several 
interstate and intrastate transmission lines are expected 
to go through the Tariff Based Competitive Bidding 
route. In certain states, capacity enhancement using the 
already-existing corridor may provide opportunities as it 
eliminates the need for fresh acquisition of right-of-way, 
thereby reducing costs and saving time. The next phase of 
green energy corridors is on the anvil. Substantial activity 
with many prospects is evident in the SAARC countries viz. 
Bangladesh and Nepal, as they are coming up with several 
high-value prospects. 

The solar power market is poised to remain upbeat, 
with yearly solar capacity additions pursuing an upward 
trajectory. The Private Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) 
market in select states will pick up based on encouraging 
open access policies and growing solar power viability. 
Clarity emerging on GST and duties will help the sector 
immensely. Advanced Battery Energy Storage Solutions 
will see a rise due to grid stability requirements and for 
electrifying rural households. 

With upcoming state solar policies focusing on rooftop 
projects with net metering schemes, the prospects for the 

In the Middle East, the business is cautiously optimistic in 
its outlook. The stable recovery of the oil price is expected 
to boost investments in the T&D sector. Infrastructure 
development will continue to be driven by mega events like 
Dubai EXPO 2020, FIFA 2022 and grand plans such as Saudi 
Vision 2030, Qatar National Vision 2030. Further GCC grid 
formation, upgradation to higher voltage levels, integration 
of renewable energy sources to the existing power grid and 
interconnections of transmission networks are expected to 
fuel growth in power distribution throughout the Middle 
East. The revival of the transmission & distribution scene in 
Abu Dhabi is a positive sign. In KSA, SEC (Saudi Electricity 
Company) continues to invest in power infrastructure 
projects. In addition, investment in the renewable sector by 
a leading investor and plans for developing a transnational 
city augur well for the KSA market. Power system capacity 
expansion to cater to infrastructure growth is proceeding as 
per plans in Qatar and Oman. Riding on a strong execution 
track record in Kuwait, the business is in an advantageous 
position to exploit opportunities from key customers in 
Kuwait.

Input costs are bound to increase with the introduction of 
VAT and removal of subsidies on fuel, power and water. 
However, these will have a similar impact on all the players.

Prioritization of spending / budgetary allocation, friction 
between Qatar and other Gulf countries, the slowdown 
in Oman, and related delays in project finalization are 
potential risks.

The business is concentrating on key African economies 
that have a clear road map to build transmission and 
distribution networks to meet increasing demand. 
Grid strengthening, regional interconnection and rural 
electrification opportunities are being pursued in select 
countries. Renewable generation is another area that holds 
potential. Having established a creditable track record and 
subcontractor/ vendor ecosystem, the business is expected 
to significantly scale up under the right conditions.

The rising power demand in ASEAN region paves the 
way for significant investments in grid interconnections, 
grid development and strengthening. In addition, an 
interconnected ASEAN power grid is beneficial in many 
ways such as generation – demand balancing and 
renewable integration. With increasing share in Thailand 
and Malaysia, the business expects to exploit potential in 
Myanmar and other countries in the region.

The overall outlook for the PT&D sector remains promising 
on both the domestic and the international fronts. The 
business looks forward to consolidating its position in 
established markets and gain significantly in new growth 
areas, ably supported by its initiatives on cost leadership 
and delivery excellence.

114 MLD Water Treatment Plant at Ranchi, Jharkhand

Water & Effluent Treatment

Overview:
1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water 
and 2.4 billion people are challenged by inadequate 
sanitation. Many of the water systems that keep 
ecosystems thriving and feed the growing human 
population have become stressed. Rivers, lakes and 
aquifers are drying up or becoming too polluted to use. 
More than half the world’s wetlands have disappeared. 
Climate change is altering patterns of weather and 
water around the world, causing shortages and 
droughts in some areas and floods in others. At the 
current consumption rate, it is pegged that two-thirds 
of the world’s population may face water shortages by 
2025. 

To cater to these various needs, L&T Construction’s 
Water & Effluent Treatment business segment 
has enhanced its process knowhow and detailed 
engineering capabilities across all streams of Water and 
Wastewater business in India, Sri Lanka, the Middle 
East and Africa. Its formidable in-house engineering 
capabilities, coupled with impeccable project 
management skills, has put this segment much ahead 
of the competition.

Business Environment
The human population has successfully harnessed many 
of the world’s natural waterways – building dams, water 
wells, vast irrigation systems and other structures that have 
allowed civilizations to grow and thrive. 

Piped water systems have been set up by the Government 
in most cities. But a large percent of semi-urban areas are 
not covered by these, and rely on ground water. Piped 
sewerage systems feeding into large treatment plants 
exist only in bigger cities and metros. Most cities have 
septic tanks or local waste management. Hence there are 
opportunities in this area for providing water infrastructure 
facilities. 

The mega Government policies to drive water infrastructure 
in India that include AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation 
and Urban Transformation), Namami Gange, Pradhan 
Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana and Delhi Mumbai Industrial 
Corridor Development. Stringent implementation of 
pollution norms is in place to encourage setting up of 
common effluent treatment plants. In addition, large 
investments have been proposed by multi-lateral funding 
agencies for water supply and sewer projects to improve 
the quality of urban life. 

Desalination, water management, mega lift irrigation, mega 
treatment plants and smart cities have started fructifying in 
a large scale. 

All these leave L&T’s Water & Effluent Treatment business 
with huge untapped potential. 

So far, the business has created water infrastructure to 
cater to the requirements of 30 million people. It has 

laid more than 3.5 lakh km of pipelines, designed and 
constructed more than 5300 Million Litres per Day (MLD) of 
water and wastewater treatment plants and brought more 
than 2 lakh hectares of land under irrigation. 

The Water & Effluent Treatment Business has commissioned 
over 25 projects in FY 2017-18, including the following key 
projects:

a)  Gadag Water Supply Scheme, Karnataka

•  Digital Site Walk Through: A combination of hardware 

(SmartGlass) and software solutions used to observe the 
project progress, safety, quality, workmens’ welfare and 
administration from any remote location.

•  HR Dashboard: Provides a more advanced way to assess 

metrics and Key Performance Indicators, allowing 
organizations to present information in a more interactive 
and user- focused manner. 

•  Customer Relationship Management (CRM): A tool 

which enables effective management of the business, 
from the early stage of prospects to award of contract 
– and can be extended till O&M. The CRM platform 
supports the tendering process. Once the prospect is 
converted to NIT (Notice Inviting Tender), the Contracts 
team will use the module to work with various 
departments and for preparation of the bid. The tender 
opening will also be captured in the system for further 
data analysis.

Outlook
The Government has already set in motion an integrated 
Ganga conservation plan – ‘Namami Gange’ – which 
envisages investments for sewage infrastructure across 
several urban habitations along the river. The Pradhan 
Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) has been 
formulated with the vision of extending the coverage of 
irrigation ‘Har Khet ko pani’ and improving water use 
efficiency ‘More crop per drop’ in a focused manner with 
end-to-end solutions on source creation, distribution, 
management, field application and extension activities. The 
Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) is India’s most 
ambitious infrastructure programme, aiming to develop 
new industrial cities as ‘Smart Cities’ and converging 
next-generation technologies across infrastructure sectors. 
The programme envisages development of infrastructure 
linkages like power plants, assured water supply, high 
capacity transportation and logistics facilities. 

Hence, the projects pipeline related to drinking water, 
waste water and irrigation are expected to remain strong 
in India due to growing demand and Government thrust. 
Sector-specific focus is expected to shift towards rural 
drinking water, ETPs/STPs and irrigation projects. Major 
outlay based on the current status and priorities: Water 
projects expected in Gujarat, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, 
Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan; Irrigation projects are 
expected in Tamil Nadu, Telangana & STPs expected in Uttar 
Pradesh and Bihar. 

There is a push towards the PPP mode (HAM – Hybrid 
Annuity Mode) for STPs (Sewage Treatment Plant) causing 
big Infra developers to enter the water sector. There is 
the probability of this getting extended to WTPs (Water 
Treatment Plant) / ETPs (Effluent Treatment Plant).

At present, the competitive landscape is such that L&T 
along with few selected players are only competing 
pan-India, while the smaller players are focusing on their 
home ground. Competitors tend to form JVs with regionally 
strong players and technology licensors for PQ and project 
execution. 

In the international market, opportunities have been 
identified for water treatment, sewage treatment and 
desalination plants in Middle East. The business has already 
made its mark in Tanzania and Sri Lanka and more orders 
are expected from these geographies. Tireless efforts are in 
place to expand into other parts of Africa and Bangladesh.

Outlook
FY 2018-19 looks promising for the business, given the 
boost the Government has given to safe and smart cities 
and other digital initiatives. 

The Union budget for FY 2018-19 has allocated over 
R 25000 crore – an increase of 22% over last year’s 
allocation – towards various initiatives in the areas of smart, 
digital, etc. This augurs very well for the interest pursued by 
the business. 

Several Tier-II cities are expected to roll out surveillance 
projects. Additionally, the transportation sector is also 
moving towards surveillance and traffic management 
systems. A few of the RFPs are in an advanced stage of 
preparation, such as railway surveillance and highway 
traffic management system.

Under the Central Government’s Smart City Mission for 
developing 109 smart cities across India, the cities have 
already been shortlisted and several are at advanced stages 
of RFPs and have received Central Govt. funding. These 
cities will be coming up with RFPs shortly, and the balance 
cities are likely to follow in FY 2018-19. Equipped with 
diversified smart offerings, L&T is well-placed to address 
these opportunities. 

In addition to the above, special focus is laid on the 
modernization of defence and homeland security. In the 
defence sector, perimeter surveillance systems to the Navy 
and Air Force are also shaping up. 

The Bharat Net programme is one the world’s largest 
network infrastructure projects. It aims to digitally connect 
250,000 villages (gram panchayats) across the country and 
unite India digitally. The second phase of the Bharat Net 
program has been floated and aims to deploy network 
infrastructure to the 140,000 gram panchayats on a 
fast-track basis. 

The objective of the Bharat Net programme is to facilitate 
the delivery of e-governance, e-health, e-education, 
e-banking, Internet and other services to the rural India, 
thereby enhancing the quality of rural life.

Along with rural digital initiatives, the Government is 
also focussing on increasing the number of wi-fi hotspots 
across the country. BSNL is planning to ensure that there 
are half a million more hotspots by the end of December 
2018. The aim is to digitally touch India’s 1.25 billion 
population.

One of several initiatives of the Government in the energy 
sector is the drive for replacement of old analog meters 
with new, tamper-proof, digital smart meters for domestic 
consumers. 

The metro initiative is gaining further impetus, with the 
addition of metros for cities of Mumbai, Bengaluru, 
Hyderabad, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Jaipur, and 
Kochi in the next few years. In addition, there are proposals 
for Mass Rapid Transport Systems for Pune, Chandigarh, 
Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Bhopal, Indore and 
Faridabad.

Both technically and financially, the Government has been 
supporting the set-up and upgrade of State Wide Area 
Networks (SWAN). The business expects opportunities in 
State Wide Surveillance.

Presently, the business is very active at various sites 
in India for its coal-based power plants, and in 
Bangladesh for its gas-based power plants. 

Business Environment:
The lack of momentum in industrialization and moderate 
economic growth have directly impacted the power sector 
in recent times. 

The power sector is facing various challenges like shift of 
focus towards renewables, decline in thermal PLF, financial 
stress, promoter’s inability to infuse equity and service debt,

falling electricity prices at exchanges, non-availability of 
long term PPA, coal linkages, water availability, land issues, 
etc. The Government’s focus on renewables has particularly 
impacted the capacity generation of thermal power plants. 

Further, the excess manufacturing capacity in the market 
continues to put pressure on the prices. During these trying 
times, the business sees the opportunity to reorganize, 
consolidate, cut costs and improve efficiencies to make it 
more competitive in the market to secure future orders. The 
business will continue its stand of not bidding at margin 
diluting prices. Instead, it will work in an organized manner 
to make itself cost-competitive to win and successfully 
complete such projects. 

There is some cause for cheer, despite the challenges being 
encountered by the power sector in the past few years. The 
business is confident of revival of capacity enhancement 
in the thermal power sector to match the projected rise in 
demand for power, in line with economic growth in the 
country. In this context, the business will continue to focus 
on coal and gas-based power projects and its adjacencies 
like replacement of old power plants, R&M and new 
business for FGD / SCR systems, sub-critical plants, nuclear 
STGI plants, etc. 

During the year, the business continued its foray into 
Bangladesh, with one more 400 MW combined cycle 
gas-based complete EPC contract.

The business has successfully commissioned two gas-based 
combined cycle power plants in Bangladesh, and has 
added capacity of more than 600 MW to the grid. Further, 
two gas-based power plants totalling 800 MW are under 

construction, and will be completed well within the 
contractual period. 

The success in Oman in the HRSG segment of gas-based 
power plants and export jobs through joint ventures 
continues to mark the business’s capability to meet 
international execution standards, and proves its 
competitiveness among international players. 

The business is poised to focus on new territories outside 
India to mitigate the risk of low domestic demand. 

The business has also diversified into environmental 
solutions, actively started to participate in FGDs, and 
is hopeful of making a breakthrough in the upcoming 
tenders. It will also participate in the replacement project 
market, which is estimated to be around 46 GW, and will 
see the replacement of old and inefficient power plants in 
the country. 

The business continues its operational excellence on the 
jobs in hand by completing the various milestones of the 
projects in record time. The dedication of the Mahagenco–
Koradi project to the nation (3x660 MW) is an example of 
this operational excellence. The business, despite its quest 
to complete project milestones on time, has never lost 
sight of the safety and quality of execution. The receipt 
of various national-level awards on safety and quality is a 
testimony to this. 

Nuclear power, being a clean source of energy, is going 
to play a key role in the Indian power sector in the next 
few years. The Government has an ambitious plan to 
increase the nuclear power production to 23 GW by 
2031 from the current level of 7 GW. The business sees

large-value opportunities in this segment. The business 
has incorporated the manufacturing capability to produce 
turbines of 700 MW capacity related to PHWR nuclear 
power plants. 

Significant Initiatives:
The business has deep-dived into cost-optimization 
programmes, and is confident of successful implementation 
in the upcoming tenders. Internationalization and portfolio 
enhancement continue to remain the focus of the business. 
Enhancing its capability towards these initiatives, the 
business is geared to benefit from any opportunity available 
in these areas. 

The business is also giving due importance to digitalization. 
It aims to achieve cost reduction, carry out smart operations 
and shorten project timelines through these initiatives. 

Smart asset monitoring using IoT and smart manufacturing 
initiatives have been identified as important digitization 
measures to improve business processes and optimize 
equipment utilization.

The business has carried out various initiatives to improve 
its localization of manufacturing activities. 

It regularly reviews its internal control processes, and has 
ensured an adequate internal control system commensurate 
with the size, nature and risks of its business operations. It 
also continues with its risk mitigation initiatives through risk 
management practices and regular reviews. 

Outlook:
Looking ahead, the power sector in the country is set to 
grow to meet the increased demand due to the expected 
GDP growth in the country. The growth in industrialisation 

is the key to economic growth, which in turn will lead to 
a major thrust in the power sector, as power is required to 
support industrialisation. 

Government initiatives like Ujwal DISCOM Assurance 
Yojana, rural electrification programmes, the programme 
on 24x7 power for all, and centralised purchase of 2500 
MW of power from stressed power projects by the Central 
Government for 3 years are some of the measures being 
implemented towards raising the power demand so that 
the power sector embarks on a sustained recovery path. 
The business sees that the power sector is expected to 
unfold many more such positive trends in the areas of 
generation, transmission and distribution to increase the 
demand. 

Coal will continue to be the mainstay of the domestic 
power sector for providing stable, reliable and robust base 
load power supply – though the emergence of alternative 
sources in the form of renewables is another challenge for 
the business. 

The business sees opportunities in the ‘replacement market’ 
and in ‘FGD systems’ in the near future. The business is 
ready to capitalise on any opportunity in these diversified 
areas. 

Excess capacity and aggressive pricing will continue to 
haunt EPC players, and would reflect in the pricing and 
financials. 

South East Asia continues to offer good opportunities for 
gas-based plants, which are not expected to revive in India 
in the near future. The business has taken various steps to 
enter targeted markets like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the UAE 
and Indonesia for gas-based projects.

Business Environment
A sluggish global economy impacted the business for the 
first 3 quarters of 2017-18. Key markets, viz. USA, Brazil 
and China, offered very few opportunities. Other major 
markets targeted i.e. Iran and Russia, were impacted due 
to geopolitical reasons. The Middle East economy slowed 
down due to lower oil prices. Worldwide, most countries 

178
178

responded to the slowdown with restrictive import policies 
and the demand for localization. On the domestic front, 
major economic reforms, viz. Demonetization and the 
introduction of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) led to a 
delay in the tendering process and investments. 

The order inflow for the Nuclear business was impacted 
due to slow progress in order placements. Surplus 
capacities and limited demand led to aggressive 
competition and put extensive pressure on pricing and 
deliveries. The business focused on operational excellence 
to deal with the challenging market scenario and regained 
its competitiveness. Major orders executed in 2017-18 
include equipment for RAPID, EXXON, KNPC AL ZOUR, 
CPCL, IOCL, KBR Lotte Chemicals etc. Major orders received 
include orders for reactors, columns and vessels from HPCL 
including heaviest hydro processing reactor by L&T – 1840 
MT, coke drums from Marathon USA, a major nuclear order 
for steam generators and end shields for GHAVP, Haryana.

Significant Initiatives
In order to maintain its leadership position, the business 
has drawn up a five-year Strategic Plan focusing on 
profitable growth. Major initiatives include product 
portfolio restructuring, key account management, talent 
management and organization excellence. Digitalization 
has been identified as a key driver for improving quality 
and productivity. The culture of continual improvements in 
operations helps the business attain global benchmarks. 

The Product & Technology Development Centre of the 
business is focusing on the development of new products 

and manufacturing technologies. The areas of focus include 
welding and metallurgy, heat transfer, hydrodynamics and 
computational fluid dynamics. 

Outlook
With the uptick in crude oil prices, there is revival in the 
demand for oil in international markets. Global growth 
started picking up towards the end of FY 2017-18, and 
the business outlook for the Process Plant sector looks 
optimistic, with major investment proposals expected in 
South East Asia, MENA and the domestic market. Major 
investments are expected in five to six refineries around the 
world in view of the increase in global demand. Foremost 
opportunities include Takreer in Abu Dhabi, DUQM in 
Oman, KNPC in Kuwait and Thai Oil in Thailand.

The domestic market is also showing signs of revival of the 
Capex cycle by major players in the petrochemical sector. 
Investments are expected in the domestic sector by IOCL, 
HPCL, HMEL and BPCL for capacity enhancement and BS-VI 
upgradation to comply with the applicable fuel standards. 
This is going to benefit the business in the form of steady 
order inflow in the medium term. In the Fertilizer sector, 
major opportunities include revival of sick FCI and HFCL 
units, energy saving and capacity enhancement projects 
driven by the New Urea Policy 2015 (NUP 2015). The 
upcoming opportunities in Talcher Fertilizer will also open 
fresh avenues of business growth.

In the Nuclear sector, fleet procurement opportunities 
in 700 MWe PHWR projects will provide large growth 
opportunities in FY 2018-19.

Defence and Aerospace

Overview
L&T’s defence business provides indigenous solutions 
across the spectrum – from platforms to surveillance-
to-strike capabilities. Having started as a diversification 
initiative primarily with the R&D model, the business 
has metamorphosed through growth phases, 
developing technologies, products, systems, and 
providing solutions across the communication, weapon 
& weapon delivery systems, and platforms for naval 
applications. Currently, the business has grown into an 
integrated portfolio and serves the Armed Forces and 
the Defence Research & Development Organisation 
(DRDO).

The Defence business is structured into two business 
groups:

1.  Defence & Aerospace

2.  Defence Shipbuilding (reported under ‘Others’ segment 

in financial statements)

1.  Defence & Aerospace

L&T’s Defence and Aerospace (D&A) business is today 
engaged in design-to-delivery solutions and serially 
produces these across its chosen defence segments. 
For over three decades, L&T has focussed on design, 
engineering and building Indian products, systems and 
technologies with Defence Research and Development 
Organisation, India (DRDO), as well as with its in-house 
research and development. The business has developed 

and is into manufacturing artillery systems, air-defence 
systems, land & naval weapon systems with associate 
fire-control solutions, naval equipment & systems, 
engineering systems for land and naval forces, military 
bridging systems, communication systems, missile 
propulsion air frames and rocket motors for space-
launch vehicles. 

L&T has stayed committed to ‘Make in India’, and 
has invested in creating multiple work centres across 
the country dedicated to the defence business. These 
include the assembly & integration facility at Talegaon 
near Pune, missile sub-system manufacturing facility 
at Coimbatore and the defence electronics facility at 
Bengaluru. Besides these dedicated facilities, specific 
work-centres are set up at Hazira (near Surat) for 
the strategic programme, Ranoli (near Vadodara) for 
advanced composites, at Powai (Mumbai) for prototype 
development and testing, and a site at Vishakhapatnam 
operating under the GOCO model for a strategic 
programme. L&T continues to develop indigenous 
systems and solutions for the ‘Indigenously Designed, 
Developed and Manufactured’ (IDDM), ‘Make’ and ‘Buy 
and Make Indian’ category of programmes under the 
Defence Procurement Policy. It has planned investments 
in its Product & Technology Development Centre at 
Powai and at Bengaluru for technologies of the future. 

The business has a Joint Venture (JV) with MBDA 
(world leader in missiles and missile systems), and is 
well-poised to develop and produce futuristic missiles

2.  Defence Shipbuilding

The shipbuilding business operates two defence 
shipyards – one at Hazira Manufacturing Complex 
(since 2007) and a greenfield mega shipyard at 
Kattupalli near Chennai (since 2012). Located across a 
sprawling 1225-acre complex, the Kattupalli Shipyard 
is India’s largest shipyard, designed in-house, and 
built to globally benchmarked technological practices. 
Dedicated, independent Design Centres for warships 
and submarines are equipped with integrated 3D 
design, analysis, virtual reality and Product Lifecycle 
Management, interfaced with project management and 
ERP systems in line with global best practices.

The shipyards have successfully delivered interceptor 
boats, offshore patrol vessels and a floating dock for 
the Indian Navy, with the remarkable achievement of 
each vessel being either ahead of time or on schedule – 
a new benchmark in the Indian shipbuilding industry. 

Business Environment
In line with the motto of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Ease of doing 
business’ agenda, the Government has brought about 
major improvements in policies in the Defence sector. The 
enabling policies include release of a Strategic Partnership 
Policy, Simplified Make II Procedure, announcement of 
Defence Industrial Corridors and a draft Defence Production 
Policy. With these policy initiatives moving towards creating 
a level playing field over the past three years, the import 
content has shown a downward trend. 

The Capital Budget for Defence in FY 2018-19 has grown 
by around 7% as compared to that during FY’18. The 

major allocation of the capital budget is to meet existing 
commitments of MoD, and the allocation to undertake 
new acquisitions is likely to be under pressure. With the 
preferential categorization of acquisition programmes 
towards indigenous sourcing, India’s imports are expected 
to continue to show downward trends, going forward. 
There is also active support and facilitation by the 
Government towards indigenous defence production and 
export. 

In the Aerospace segment, L&T collaborates with ISRO 
as technology partners for the development of special-
purpose test facilities for India’s space programmes. In the 
wake of meeting increasing demands of the space sector 
in a timely manner, ISRO is exploring outsourcing of launch 
vehicles and sub-assemblies to the private sector.

Significant Initiatives 
The business is focused on achieving a profitable growth 
as per its Strategic Plan. It has been built on the strengths 
of R&D and Design, matched by great production 
performance over the past three decades, with unstinted 
technology, product development and investments in 
innovation. The new Integrated Reporting Standards 
which the management has decided to embrace from 
FY 2018-19 stresses upon the need to look at sustainability 
even more comprehensively, and commitment to social 
programmes. The business continues to efficiently leverage 
human capital, invest across work centres towards 
digital transformation, focus on conserving and utilizing 
alternative sources of energy, and further enhancing 
efficient process and business sustainability, besides 
protecting the environment.

System Complex at Hazira to serially produce these K-9 
Vajra Howitzers. This programme has served as the clear 
indicator of the MoD’s commitment to push the ‘Make in 
India’ agenda.

Outlook
With the draft Defence Production Policy highlighting the 
vision ‘to make India among the top five countries of the 
world in Aerospace and Defence industries, with active 
participation of public and private sector…’ the preference 
for indigenously designed and developed systems will 
result in opportunities in adjacent domains. Over the 
medium-term, significant opportunities are envisaged 
in programmes for new-build naval (surface as well as 
underwater) platforms, refit of conventional submarines, 
artillery and air defence guns, close-in weapons systems, 
military bridging systems, missile programmes (repeat 

orders), and sub-systems for space launch vehicles. L&T is 
poised and positioned to play a proactive role in ensuring 
self-reliance of our nation through successful ‘Make in 
India’ initiatives. 

With regard to implementation of the Strategic Partnership 
Policy, Request for Information (RFIs) for conventional 
submarines (P75I) and the Future Ready Combat Vehicle 
(FRCV) armoured platform were issued this year to foreign 
OEMs. EOIs to Indian as well as foreign OEMs are expected 
to be issued. L&T is likely to be positioned to be selected as 
a Strategic Partner in key segments. The JV with MBDA is 
well positioned to address IDDM opportunities, ‘Buy Indian’ 
programmes as well as ‘Buy and Make Indian’ programmes 
with access to latest state-of-the-art technologies like the 
Fifth Generation technology for Anti-Tank Guided Missile 
(ATGM). 

With sharper focus on gaining growth momentum, the 
business reiterates its commitment to nation-building.

Electrical &
Automation
Business

Overview
L&T’s electrical and automation (E&A) business 
manufactures a wide range of products and system 
for distribution, regulation and control of electricity 
along with metering products. The business is a major 
player in the system integration business. Its products 
include low and medium voltage switchgear products, 
electrical systems, marine switchgear, industrial and 
building automation products, energy management 
systems and metering solutions that cater to industry, 
utility, building, infrastructure and agriculture 
segments. The E&A business is structured into two 
Strategic Business Groups (SBGs) – Products SBG and 
Projects SBG.

The business has been increasing its penetration in new 
segments like telecom, smart e-cities, healthcare, etc., 
by offering innovative solutions, while consolidating 
its position in the retail segment with a new range of 
consumer products.

The major strength of the business is its elaborate 
in-house design and development facilities for new 
products and life cycle management of its existing 
range of products. The business has six DSIR-approved 
R&D facilities and dedicated test laboratories in India 

that specialise in diverse skill sets. These centres 
network with international labs, testing centres 
and academic institutions to keep abreast of new 
technology trends and introduce them to customers 
in different segments. The business also has well-
developed tooling facilities with state-of-the-art 
manufacturing systems and processes in place for high 
precision tools, which are a pre-requisite for high-
quality products. 

Additionally, its six Switchgear Training Centres at 
Pune, Lucknow, Coonoor, Vadodara, Delhi and Kolkata 
promote good electrical practices in the industry.

Manufacturing operations are located at facilities 
at Navi Mumbai (Mahape & Rabale), Ahmednagar, 
Vadodara, Coimbatore and Mysore in India as well 
as in Saudi Arabia, UAE (Jebel Ali, Dubai), Malaysia, 
Indonesia and the UK.

Business Environment
With a notable rebound in global trade, the world 
economic growth rate reached 3.6 % in 2017. This was 
driven by an investment recovery in advanced economies, 
rebound of the European economy, continued strong 
growth in emerging Asian markets, and signs of recovery 
in several commodity exports. The global growth rate is 
expected to clock up to 3.9 % in 2018, which would be 
highest in this decade. The geopolitical situation across the 
world is also changing fast. 

The private investment climate in India has remained 
subdued due to stresses in the balance sheet. The 
dust around GST implementation is yet to settle. The 
year witnessed a good monsoon, as well as policy 
announcements in many sectors such as infrastructure,

encouraging. Various recommendations of the project have 
been implemented, contributing to improved efficiency and 
cost reduction. 

Implementation of initiatives like Dindayal Upadhyaya 
Gram Jyoti Yojana, UDAY, SAUBHAGYA, Smart Grid, 
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana and increased 
focus on renewable energy are visible on the ground. 
Other Governmental initiatives like Make in India, Smart 
Cities, increased infrastructure spending, etc., also hold 
promise. The rising oil and metal prices, slow climate of 
order finalisation and liquidity issues continued to pose 
challenges for the businesses.

With the formation of UDAY, the liquidity position of 
utilities has improved, thereby giving more powers to 
state utilities to decide and award orders. This has resulted 
in improved order intake by the metering business. The 
switchboard business posted a good performance for 
the year, except that the international order intake was 
lower. Overall, the domestic business posted improved 
performance over the previous year. VAT implementation 
with effect from 1st January 2018 in the Middle East, e.g. 
KSA and the UAE, has so far been smooth. 

Significant Initiatives:
In its endeavour to deliver quality products and solutions 
at competitive prices, the business always revalidates 
its processes, providing vigour and sustainability to its 
operations. The business launched ‘Project Optima’ for 
all domestic businesses and TAMCO. The project is an 
operational excellence initiative, aimed at achieving refined 
cost structures, improved operational efficiency and faster 
throughput. The outcome of the programme has been 

In FY 2017-18, the R&D spend by the business was 
approximately 2 % of total sales revenue. During the 
year, the business filed 76 Patents, 1 Trademark and 32 
Design applications. Focused R&D activities have enabled 
the Electrical Standard Products business unit to have a 
healthy New Product Intensity (NPI) index of approximately 
25% - an index which measures the sales of new products 
introduced in the market during the last five years with 
reference to the total sales in the financial year.

The Standard Products business implemented a SAP tool 
known as ‘Advanced Planning and Optimisation’ (APO) 
for end-to-end supply chain management. The tool aims 
at improving capability to give a reliable commitment of 
delivery date to customers while receiving orders, based 
on real-time visibility in the supply chain. It works on the 
Theory of Constraints (TOC) and uses a diagnostic metrics 
framework based on Supply Chain Operation Reference 
(SCOR).

In line with its ‘Shrink to grow’ initiative, the switchboard 
business has successfully shifted its Low Voltage 
switchboard manufacturing operations from Ahmednagar 
to Coimbatore campus, which helped in creating 
additional manufacturing capacity for Medium Voltage 
products.

The business participated in Asia’s largest electrical fair 
‘ELECRAMA’ held at Greater Noida in March, 2018 and 
showcased a wide range of offerings, including products 
which are lined up for launch in the coming months.

distributors and retailers

B.  Collaboration, Document Management & Workflow – 
To create a centralised document repository with work 
flow functionality

C.  Analytical Reports & Dashboards – Real-time 

information on key business metrics.

Listed below are few initiatives on which significant 
progress has been made:

1.  Asset Intelligence Management (use of Internet of 

Things)

•  Optimising productive time of machines

•  Tool life monitoring and asset tracking

2.  Training and education using Augmented Reality / 

Virtual reality

•   Guided servicing of ‘Omega’ Air Circuit Breaker using 

Augmented Reality

•   Interactive Induction Training module for new joiners

Product Launches
In FY 2017-18, the business introduced various new 
products in the power distribution, motor control and 
power quality market segments to further strengthen its 
leadership position. Notable additions include higher rating 
air-break and vacuum contactors, 4-Pole MCCBs, electronic 
trip units - SR 18G with enhanced features, S-Line copper 
busways and S-Line aluminium busways for lower (250A) 
ratings, Ti-APFC panels as per IEC61439, APFC relays, etc. 

L&T’s Metering & Protection Systems business was engaged 
in developing new cost-optimized metering platforms 
offering better features to maintain competitiveness in the 
market, and the development of new products to meet 
the unfulfilled needs of customers. During the year, the 
business launched 1-phase and 3-phase kWh meters in 
whole current small form factor and prepaid category. It 
also actively launched 1-phase and 3-phase smart meters 
on various communication platforms in line with emerging 
demands and trends. 

L&T’s Electrical Systems & Equipment (ESE) business 
introduced outdoor cabinets for the telecom segment and 
feeder pillars and front RMU with FRTU (Feeder Remote 
Terminal Unit) for the utilities segment. For the international 
market, a Sub-Main Distribution Board (SMDB) was 
introduced to cater to the infrastructure segment such as

metros, airports, smart e-cities, and high-end residential 
complexes. ESE also started manufacturing Ring main 
units (RMU) and introduced a new variant to its GIS (Gas 
insulated switchgear) range. 

L&T’s Control and Automation (C&A) business successfully 
adapted its in-house developed software for SCADA, 
reducing dependence on imported technology. The 
business also put in significant efforts towards developing 
drives using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array devices) 
and batch controllers.

Business Outlook
In an environment where uptick in private capex is not 
visible, liquidity continues to remain a worry; and with 
core sectors not holding any promise, fresh order bookings 
continue to be a challenge. As per industry estimates, the 
LV Switchgear market is expected to grow by 8 to 10 % 
and reach R 7,600 crore by 2020. 

With the increase in commodity prices and consolidation 
of procurement for state DISCOMS, profitability in the 
metering business is expected to remain under pressure. 
The market for conventional meters is expected to remain 
flat. However, in view of the SAUBHAGYA scheme, the 
market for smart meters seems to be growing. The trend is 
towards higher technology products like AMR, prepaid and 
smart meters. UDAY and other centrally funded schemes 
like DDUJY and IPDS will lead to improvement in payment 
position at utilities.

The automation business is expected to build on its success 
in the infrastructure sector. Government regulations, which 
have made use of RCCB mandatory, will help the modular 

device business to grow. Various announcements made 
in the Fiscal Budget FY 2018-19 such as replacement of 
existing pumps with energy efficient pumps and increase 
in area under drip irrigation are expected to contribute to 
higher growth in the agricultural product business. With 
new medium voltage products, the switchboard business 
will be in a better position to increase its market share in 
DISCOMS. Telecom enclosures still look promising and are 
expected to generate revenue for the business. 

The Marine business envisages a positive sentiment through 
the ‘Make in India’ initiative taken by the Government for 
emphasizing on indigenous content – which has given 
us an edge over foreign suppliers. FY 2018-19 will see 
the conclusion of orders for the electrical and degaussing 
equipment for 24 ships of the Indian Navy. This provides 
the potential to fill up the order book after a lean patch 
during the last few years. 

With the oil prices improving, investment in the oil & gas 
sector of the GCC continues to improve. Growth in the 
MENA region is expected to accelerate to 3 % in 2018. 
Within MENA, GCC economies are expected to lead due to 
stronger growth in the region, supported by easing fiscal 
adjustment, infrastructure investment such as the UAE 
Expo 2020, and reforms to promote non-oil-sector activity. 
In Kuwait and Oman, for all major EPC awards, In-country 
Value (ICV) content and Export Credit Agencies (ECA) are 
likely to impact the businesses. Major growth is expected 
from the infrastructure segment. With the addition of 
focused products for infrastructure in the product basket, 
we are hopeful of getting a significant share of Infra 
business.

Business Environment:
After a prolonged depressed market, signs of recovery are 
now visible, with upward movement in crude oil prices due 
to production cuts by OPEC countries and Russia. However, 
uncertainty with respect to crude oil prices still exists over 
the medium to long-term, leading to continued diligence 
by the oil & gas industry in making strategic investment 
decisions. 

This year has also witnessed several consolidations, 
partnerships and co-investments among EPCI players. 
Companies are adjusting their business models to a period 
of recovery. Oil majors are adjusting their portfolios by 
adding renewables to their energy slate. IOCs and NOCs 
are looking to diversify risk through co-investment outside 
their home countries such as Kuwait in Oman, Saudi Arabia 
in India and China in UAE. Service providers are hedging 
risks through consolidation.

Localization is increasingly becoming a key differentiator. 
ADNOC has started implementation of the In-Country 
Value (ICV) program while Saudi Aramco is implementing 
its In-Kingdom Total Vale Add (IKTVA) program with the 
objective of growing and diversifying the economy and 
creating opportunities for their nationals in the private 
sector. The South East Asian region continues to protect 
local players under the ‘Bumiputra’ concept. 

Competition remained stiff, with some of the competitors 
exercising subsidized prices for limited market potential and 
with new entrants achieving pre-qualifications.  Regional 
players are bidding for Indian projects with an intent to 
load their assets and new competitors have also started 
bidding for domestic prospects.  Commodity prices are 
firming up and forex rates continue to be volatile. 

Significant Initiatives:
The business has set a vision to ‘Revolutionize the 
Hydrocarbon Industry’ and mission of ‘Execution Par 
Excellence’. 

During the year, the business announced the relaunch 
of LAKSHYA 2021, in which strategic imperatives have 

Major role in construction of world’s largest Pet Coke Gasification Complex and Ethylene cracker for Reliance Industries at Jamnagar, India

been identified for each of its verticals. The Company 
lays continued emphasis on sharper bidding to enhance 
its market share and execute its projects well to protect 
bid margins. The business embarked upon an Operation 
Excellence initiative, which is aimed at achieving refined 
cost structures, alignment for timely project deliveries, and 
optimizing fund deployment. This initiative has started 
yielding results for the Company, as reflected in enhanced 
cost-competitiveness in its bids and further improvement in 
its bottom-line for projects under execution.

The Company’s capability-building initiative has made 
significant progress in terms of building its portfolio and 
project leadership as well as functional group development. 
This initiative is aimed at building globally-benchmarked 
project leadership teams for executing large international 
projects, and developing and institutionalizing an 
international project capability development engine. 

Innovation will be a key differentiator for disrupting 
set norms and the way business is conducted in the 
hydrocarbon sector. An Innovation Think Tank has been 
formed to channelize the efforts of the organization 
towards enhancing its capability and capacity to enable 
sustainable growth and achieve execution par excellence in 
every sphere of the enterprise.

The business has continued creating strong central 
functions to maximize synergy and to build a platform 
for easy transition from vertical to project-centric regional 
structure. The Centralized Supply Chain concept was rolled 
out and operational improvements institutionalized.

The Company is enhancing its current practices through 
digital / new-age technological advances. The business has 

also launched a digital transformation initiative towards 
further improving productivity across its functions. 

Risk Management: Pro-active Risk Management has been 
identified as a key strategic initiative to ensure sustainable 
growth. Risk Management is an integral part of the overall 
governance process to identify, segregate, mitigate, 
control and monitor various risks at business, prospect and 
operational levels. 

The Company’s risk management policy and guidelines 
have helped it to create a consistent set of standard 
risk tracking templates and measure the risk levels. This 
enables it to develop the ability to anticipate and respond 
to emerging challenges in a timely manner.  Each project 
goes through a structured pre-bid risk review and periodic 
execution risk reviews, enabling effective monitoring and 
raising timely alerts. The Company promotes a culture of 
transparency in flagging emerging issues as early warning 
signals to management for timely attention. 

Internal Controls: The management has established 
internal control systems commensurate with the size and 
complexity of the business. The internal control manual 
provides a structured approach to identify, rectify, monitor 
and report gaps in the internal control systems and 
processes. The Group follows well-documented Standard 
Operating Procedures (SOPs). The operating effectiveness 
of various controls is periodically tested, and deficiencies (if 
any) are promptly rectified.

Human Resource Development: The business has 
implemented several initiatives focused on acquiring 
and nurturing talent. It firmly believes that people are 
its greatest asset, and has adopted various policies and 

Group Gathering Station-11 for RIL’s Coal Bed Methane Field Development Project at Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, India

initiatives in order to sustain healthy employee relations, 
growth and development as well as work satisfaction. The 
Company’s commitment to creating a highly engaged work 
force is demonstrated through deployment of the GENIE: 
Engagement survey, business specific and managerial level 
interventions, communication with Senior Management 
through forums like ‘Town Hall’, webcast and video 
conferencing.  The ‘I-Too’ recognition framework, initiatives 
like ICONS, long-service awards, team building workshops, 
non-monetary recognition events, etc. are periodically 
undertaken to enhance  employee motivation.

Health, Safety, Environment (HSE) & Sustainability: 
The business considers safety a core value, and is 
committed to achieving HSE excellence at the workplace by 
ensuring the health and safety of people and the protection 
of the environment. Through its ‘Zero Incident Credo’, 
the Company strives for continuous improvement in the 
protection and development of the health, safety, and 
environmental assets of its employees and stakeholders. 
HSE Assurance Audits were conducted to ensure the 
effective implementation of the HSE management system 
across the Company.

Incident Rate (TRIR) and 50 % reduction in Lost Time 
Injury rate (LTIR), which are comparable to the best global 
industry standards.

The Company received many accolades in FY 2017-18.  
The KOC - GC30 project received the ASSE GCC HSE 
Excellence Gold Award 2017 from ASSE Kuwait Chapter.  
MFF Kattupalli received safety awards from the British 
Safety Council, RoSPA and the Golden Peacock award. The 
Offshore business vertical received an award from National 
Safety Council, Maharashtra Chapter, for achieving ‘zero 
accident frequency rate’ consecutively for 3 years.

As a responsible Corporate Citizen, the Company is 
committed to implementing projects that will contribute to 
the quality of life, including schools, hospitals, skill training 
institutes, water supply and distribution and sanitation 
facilities. 

Outlook:
Gradual firming up of the crude oil price is expected to lead 
to increased project budgeting by IOCs and NOCs. A major 
section of this investment is expected to come from North 
America and the Middle East.

The Company released its Sustainability Report – 
‘Sustainability Par Excellence’ – in January 2018, in line with 
Company’s Mission ‘Execution Par Excellence’.  It covers the 
sustainability-focused initiatives taken across the Company, 
and highlights the need to enhance performance across 
all sustainability parameters – safety, energy, water 
conservation and productivity.

Despite lack of appetite by Korean competitors, 
competition intensity is expected to remain high until  
2019 at least, due to the resurgence of European and 
the emergence of the Chinese competition. Clients are 
expecting EPC contractors to share the benefit of Value 
Addition over the tenure of the project. Project schedules 
are also becoming increasingly tighter. 

During the year, the Company achieved its best-ever safety 
performance through a  71% reduction in Total Recordable 

In the domestic offshore sector, ONGC has reported

with potential reserves of 29.74 MTOE. Under the Open 
Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP), EOIs have been received 
by the Government of India from private players for the 
shallow water basins. These developments will translate 
into EPC tendering by 2020-2022. ONGC is progressing on 
its investment for development of deepwater field KG/98-2 
on the east coast of India. This will provide significant 
opportunities to the Company’s offshore and fabrication 
verticals over the medium term, given its strategically 
located Kattupalli yard on the east coast and its tie-up 
with McDermott and GE to develop cost-effective subsea 
solutions. A number of brownfield and decommissioning 
projects are expected to come up in the near future. Saudi 
Aramco is expected to spend USD 3 billion each year on 
offshore capital projects to maintain production.

India has an ambitious plan to nearly double its refining 
capacity to about 438 MMTPA by 2030. The gas energy 
mix is also expected to shift from the current level of 6.5% 
to about 15% by 2022. The demand for petrochemicals 
is expected to go up by 10 MMTPA by 2020. Over 11,800 
km of PNGRD-authorized pipeline projects are pending 
implementation. 

The Indian Public Sector refineries have embarked on 
capacity expansion plans. Some of these refineries also have 
investment plans for integrating petrochemical projects 
along with refinery upgrade. This will offer opportunities to 
the Onshore and Construction Services verticals. 

The roll-out of a comprehensive Urea Policy by the 
Government has led to the revival of public sector urea 

plants at Gorakhpur, Sindri and Barauni. Energy-efficiency 
improvement projects are being actively pursued by 
fertilizer units. 

The Government is focusing on setting up LNG 
infrastructure and investments in LNG receiving plants. 
Both land-based terminals as well as Floating Storage 
Regasification Units (FSRU) are on the anvil. 

The GCC will see higher outlays for downstream and 
petrochemical projects, particularly in Saudi Arabia, the 
UAE and Kuwait. Saudi Aramco plans to spend over USD 
300 billion over the next 10 years, while UAE and Kuwait 
are planning to spend USD 109 billion and USD 112 billion 
respectively over next 5 years. The integrated refinery 
and petrochemical complex model continues to gain 
momentum.

Towards providing geographical risk diversification, the 
Company is looking to explore newer markets which offer 
good long-term business potential, and has undertaken 
intense pre-qualification efforts. Algeria, Iraq and Indonesia 
will see increased levels of activity, and will potentially offer 
differentiated margins.

Shale gas / oil will drive petrochemical and fertilizer 
investment in the US, offering opportunities for high-value 
engineering and modular fabrication services.

With strong capabilities and capacities built over the 
years, the business is well-positioned to leverage these 
opportunities.

technologies that are available today. Second, these are 
all-new technologies, and they are new for everyone – 
no one has the incumbency advantage. Third, to help 
clients navigate and win in these times, one needs 
deep business knowledge to imagine and co-create 
with the customer. To facilitate and deliver amplified 
outcomes to its clients, the Company has embraced the 
concept of ‘Shoshin’, beginner’s mind – a mind that 
has openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions. 
In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities; in 
the expert’s mind, there are few. Expertise is important 
however, and what is needed is the willingness and 
openness to keep learning – and then keep building 
expertise. 

The Company’s relentless focus on digital, analytics, 
automation, IoT and cloud technologies through its 
proprietary Mosaic™ platform is helping it stand out in 
the marketplace. Its cutting-edge work in these areas

has been recognized by leading industry tech analysts in 
numerous studies. 

The Company continues to move on its own path of 
transformation – ‘Change from Within’. The Company 
executed a comprehensive brand launch and global 
rollout during FY’18. LTI’s modern corporate identity 
reflects its aspiration to be a next-generation IT services 
company with deep understanding of physical and 
digital convergence. LTI also expanded its European 
footprint by setting up its latest development centre in 
Poland in FY’18. 

To accelerate its revenue growth, the Company 
has adopted a three-pronged approach, focusing 
on partnerships, acquisitions and association with 
start-up ecosystems. Together, these would assist in 
driving amplified outcomes for its clients. In FY’18, 
the Company acquired Luxembourg-based Syncordis 
S.A., a leading core banking implementation services 
provider. This acquisition is poised to aid in growing 
LTI’s presence in Europe by deepening capabilities in 
the Banking & Financial services sector. The Company 
has also created 360-degree relationships with a few 
select partners, viewing them as global growth engines. 
The Company is creating an ecosystem to partner with 
innovators around the world and co-create value for 
clients through association with 600+ start-ups, using 
inputs from L&T’s other businesses.

2.  Opportunities

The Company has strong domain expertise derived from 
its parentage. It is at an inflexion point, being the right 
size to attain the agility of a start-up while maintaining 
the stability of an established player – which gives it a 
competitive advantage over its peers. 

a)  Banking & Financial Services: In the US market, 
the softening of regulatory changes has resulted 
in more funds being diverted to digital and data 
projects, with an intent to increase efficiency. 
They are increasingly adopting cloud infrastructure 
to drive down costs through radical automation 
and superior asset utilization. They are moving 
towards master data management and analytics to 
allow for a single view of the customer and easier 
regulatory response and operations. However, in 
Europe, the focus will remain on modernizing core 
banking operations. The anxiety towards Cloud and 
Blockchain has subsided to a certain extent as banks 
see these as technology enablers rather than mass 
disruptors. Clients are relying on strategic partners, 
such as LTI, to help establish the new iterative model 
that some banks are looking to adopt. 

b)  Insurance: Spend on digital transformation 
is the emerging trend in this sector, despite 
the pressure on run-the-business spend. Life 
annuity insurers are focused on digital, optimized 
workflow and operating efficiencies as they 
face changing customer expectations. Property 
and casualty insurers are focused on analytics 
and speed-to-market, as market competition 
and the threat of adverse selection drives their 
need for better and faster product deployment. 
LTI has built deep expertise in leading insurance 
products like Duck Creek, Insurity and Guidewire, 
and has unique offerings (digital and non-digital) 
that can help clients reduce turnaround time 
for operations, one of the core enablers for 
cost reduction. 

c)  Manufacturing: There are three key trends 

emerging in this vertical. First, cloud-enabled IT 
modernization has become mainstream, and more 
and more clients are embarking on programmes to 
move majority workloads to the cloud and reduce 
the cost of maintaining internal data centres. 
Second, manufacturing entities are proactively 
assessing ERP modernization, especially in SAP and 
Oracle economies. Third, clients in this industry have 
or are building definitive roadmaps for creating 
digital-ready application landscapes for agility. With 
its focus on Industry 4.0, LTI is uniquely positioned 
to address the digital transformation journey for 
its clients. 

d)  Energy and Utility: Clients in this space are 

focusing on technology to streamline operations 
for cost reduction. Digital investments are majorly 
focused on IoT, Analytics, Mobility and Cloud 
adoption. Advanced analytics is a major investment 
area for oil & gas companies. Augmented reality 
and drones to aid worker productivity, and 
wearables to provide over-the-shoulder coaching to 
workers are some of the next-gen areas where LTI 
sees traction in this market.

e)  CPG, Retail and Pharma: Large players 
in CPG/retail industry segment are facing 
intense local competition. Consumers are seen 
to drift towards more online purchases, and 
it becomes imperative for these large players 
to directly engage with the consumers. LTI 
has helped clients in their participation across 
the customer journey through smart support, 
chat bots and automated interactions, and will 
continue to enhance its offerings to reinforce such 
digital interaction. 

197

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
f)  Hi-Tech, Media and Entertainment: In the 
M&E space, the changing demographic mix is 
leading to shifting spend patterns and is impacting 
ad-supported businesses. The Company sees hi-tech 
clients focus on faster speed-to-market initiatives, 
energy-efficient smart devices and industry models 
shifting towards pay-per-use models.

Engineering spend was USD 121 billion which was 13% 
of the total ER&D spend. In 2017, it went up to USD 219 
billion, having 20% share of total ER&D expenditure. 
By 2022, it is expected to reach USD 489 billion with 
36% weight in total ER&D. Software will be the major 
factor driving growth in digital engineering, followed by 
embedded and mechanical.

There is increased wallet-spending on Digital Engineering 
because of crucial factors like technology innovation, 
business model innovation and growth of tech giants 
and start-ups. The world will see increased R&D activity 
in machine learning, human machine interface, artificial 
intelligence, collaborative robotics, etc. 

In order to become ‘the architect’ of disruptive

Significant Initiatives
(a)  Human Resources: The Human Resources function 
plays a pivotal role in this transformation journey by 
ensuring organizational efficiency and promoting the 
right culture. To sustain growth, LTFH is investing in 
building its talent pool by developing skills internally 

208

and attracting the best talent in the industry. As on 
31st March 2018, LTFH had a total workforce of 15,126 
employees across all subsidiaries. 

  A culture of ‘Results not Reasons’: After another year of 
delivering excellent results, LTFH is constantly working 
towards strengthening its foothold in each business and 
striving to reach a dominant position. Achieving these 
results was no mean feat, but LTFH succeeded because 
of its strong core values and the inculcation of a culture 
of ‘Results not Reasons’, which gave razor sharp focus 
to meet its goals. 

Scalability: LTFH continuously evaluates and optimizes 
the organization structures in line with its business 
priorities. The Human Resources department worked 
in tandem with the business to ensure that there were 
the ‘right people’ to meet growth ambitions. LTFH 
had significant growth ambition which called for new 
geographic expansion as well as growth in existing 
geographies. 

Capability building: Another important agenda 
was to augment capabilities at the middle and senior 
management levels. For building the leaders of 
tomorrow, LTFH continues to give cross-functional 
exposure through various projects and internal job 
postings. LTFH invites world class faculty for senior 
management training sessions to facilitate discussions 
on business practices and issues. LTFH organizes 
individual level coaching with experienced business 
practitioners for leadership development. 

  Driving Productivity: The ultimate metric for success 
is continuous improvement in productivity. LTFH takes 
pride in calling itself a performance driven organization. 
A rewards and recognition mechanism is implemented 
across LTFH to keep the morale high and formally 
appreciate the efforts of a competitive and talented 
workforce. 

(b)  Risk Management: Risk management forms an 
integral part of the LTFH’s businesses. LTFH has a 
robust and comprehensive credit assessment and 
risk management framework to identify, monitor 
and manage risks inherent in its operations. The Risk 
Management framework covers various families of risk 
like credit risk, market risk and operational risk. 

Credit Risk: With the objective of growing fearlessly 
in the segments in which LTFH is operating, target 
markets are clearly identified and understood with 
scoping of opportunity given the competitive landscape. 
Credit underwriting standards, at micro and macro 

 
 
 
levels, determine the minimum acceptable level of risk 
appetite acceptable while building up the business 
portfolios. 

  Market Risk: On the market risk front, liquidity, 
interest rate and concentration risks are the key 
drivers. On a day-to-day basis, a Treasury Strategy team 
manages these risks with an oversight from market risk 
function, under the overall supervision of ALCO and 
periodic reviews by the Risk Management Committee.

  Operational Risk: Operational risk is inherent to 

processes and systems and a dedicated team monitors 
operational risks and incidents, including the robustness 
of various processes, systems and information security 
related matters. Operational processes have been 
streamlined with critical processes being centralised to 
ensure consistency, control and oversight. 

LTFH was awarded the ‘Golden Peacock Award for 
Risk Management 2017’ for robust risk management 
processes. This prestigious award is being given 
annually by the Institute of Directors, New Delhi for 
over 25 years as recognition of high standards in various 
domains of corporate governance. 

(c)  Digital & Analytics: LTFH has designed an architecture 
that enables it to enhance its ‘right to win’ in focus 
products by offering a unique proposition to the 
customers in terms of Turnaround Time (TAT). LTFH 
wants to inculcate Digital & Analytics (D&A) into 
the culture of LTFH. In order to achieve the same, 
LTFH has initiated a project to rewire the complete 
business operations, where technology will orchestrate 
processes. The IT architecture has been completely 
revamped to create a digital workplace. The following 
initiatives are currently being taken by the Company: 

1.  Automation: All the processes in the customer 

life cycle are being relooked at and LTFH wants to 
achieve straight-through processes across all its 
retail businesses.

2.  Technology Infrastructure: From using on 

premise technology infrastructure to cloud- based 
infrastructure, LTFH intends to leverage the power 
of cloud computing during peak hours.

3.  Integrated Operations: LTFH has created a service-
oriented architecture by deploying an Enterprise 
Service Bus which enables it to bend as an when 
requirement changes and interact with data that 
could be accessed from anywhere in the world. 

4.  Fintech Partnership: LTFH has started collaborating 
with fintechs, where innovative services are being 
consumed as a service rather than developing it in 
house.

5.  Data Analytics: LTFH has set up a full-strength 

data analytics team to enable the Company to take 
data-based decisions.

(d)  Corporate Social Responsibility: LTFH aligns its social 
responsibility theme and commitment with the United 
Nation’s global development agenda of Sustainable 
Development Goals (SDG). Key initiatives are woven 
around sustainable livelihoods of rural communities 
facilitated by two spaces of intervention – Integrated 
Water Resource Management (IWRM) and financial 
inclusion / literacy for women empowerment.

The IWRM programme engages with the communities 
to prepare and implement interventions which 
address their core needs on water conservation and 
rejuvenation. 

Through financial inclusion and digital financial literacy, 
LTFH has designed a programme ‘Digital Sakhi’ which 
is making efforts to create livelihood opportunities 
for women by educating them to imbibe nuances of 
digital financial literacy. The women are equipped with 
a mobile tablet with preloaded digital financial literacy 
(DFL) modules to disseminate information on digital 
payments and other relevant government schemes in 
the community.

CSR Programme Outcomes:
•  23% increase in ground water level, 22% increase in 
water storage created by water structures, and 17% 
increase in household annual incomes due to IWRM 
project. 

•  13.86% increase in knowledge level, 11.6% increase 

in household average monthly savings of the 100 Digital 
sakhis.

L&T Infrastructure Development 
Projects Limited (L&T IDPL)

Overview
L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Limited 
(L&T IDPL) is one of India’s biggest Developers of 
Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects. 
Since its inception in 1995, L&T IDPL has executed 
and financed landmark infrastructure projects across 
Transport and Energy, including Highways, Ports, 
Airports, Transmission lines, Hydel Energy and Urban 
Infrastructure, including Water. L&T IDPL currently 
operates 16 completed infrastructure projects in 
transport and energy across 8 Indian states, with a 
mix of toll and annuity assets. As of March 2018, L&T 
IDPL’s portfolio had an estimated total project cost of 
R 17718 crore.

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), the 
largest pension fund in Canada, invested R 2000 crore 
as share capital in L&T IDPL in 2014-15. This is the first 
direct private investment by a Canadian pension fund 
into an Indian Infrastructure Development company.

Over two decades of extensive experience in working 
with Governments, multi-lateral agencies, international 
and domestic financial institutions and corporate 
entities has helped L&T IDPL to develop proven 
competencies in project financing and execution, 

210
210

across viability assessment, financial closure, project 
management, operations & maintenance and portfolio 
management of infrastructure assets in various sectors.

In addition to its project portfolio, L&T IDPL has 
installed Wind Energy Generators (WEGs) with a 
capacity of 8.7 MW in Tamil Nadu in March 2010. The 
energy generated is utilized for captive consumption. 
The WEGs are eligible for 16,128 Carbon Emission 
Reduction (CER) certificates per year until 2022 
as a result of the carbon reduction by these wind 
generators.

Business Environment
During 2017-18, the business environment has been quite 
vibrant. L&T IDPL focused on excellence in O&M (operation 
and maintenance) of its existing 16 assets while there 
was constant evaluation of emerging opportunities in the 
PPP space. This evaluation was carried out for both new 
construction projects as also existing Government owned 
infrastructure assets that have been completed and are 
being offered for O&M. Notable developments in both 
sets of opportunities and the business environment are as 
follows:

Roads: Construction of highways reached 9,829 km 
during FY 2017-18, with an all-time high of 27 km per 
day. This represents a 20% growth over the previous 
year. Expenditure of R 1,16,324 crore was incurred on 
construction of national highways during 2017-18. The PPP 
space witnessed a revival of sorts with the following key 
developments:

1.  Launch & listing of the first Infrastructure Investment 

Trust (InvIT) in May 2017 (six toll-road assets comprising 

Hyderabad Metro Rail project

3,645 lane km) triggering other developers to explore 
this opportunity to monetize mature road assets and 
bring down debt exposure.

2.  Road developers, who until recently focused on projects 
that required them to invest heavily and bear major risks 
over long periods, have shifted to focus to an asset-light 
model like Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), introduced in 
order to re-balance the risk sharing. Of the total length 
awarded by NHAI in fiscal year 2018, awarded 150 road 
projects of 7,400 km worth R 1,22,000 crore. Of the 
total length awarded, 3,396 km (~46%) was awarded 
on Hybrid Annuity model at a cost of R 76,500 crore 
and 209 km (~3%) on Toll mode at a cost of R 2,500 
crore. Commercial banks have selectively financed these 
HAM projects based on the standing of the developer/ 
sponsor. There is growing competition in the HAM 
model with most contractor-developers now bidding for 
projects.

3.  Successful bid-out by NHAI of the first 

Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT) bundle comprising 
of 9 NH projects realizing about R 96.81 billion 
for operational road projects aggregating to 
a length of about 700 km.

4.  Implementation of GST and E-way Bill; the unified 

tax regime has obviated the need for interstate check 
posts which has resulted in reducing the travel time 
of long-haul trucks and other cargo vehicles by over 
one-fifth and improved the turnaround time of the 
fleet. Improved traffic numbers coupled with positive 
WPI growth has led to a double-digit growth in 
revenues for most road developers.

211
211

5.  Introduction of FASTags (electronic toll collection) 

by NHAI has led to decongestion at toll plazas and 
prevention of toll revenue leakage. L&T IDPL toll plazas 
witnessed a substantial increase in electronic tolling 
from 7% in Dec 2016 to 24% in June 2018.

6.  As per the Economic Survey 2017-18, the road sector 
alone has NPAs of R 36,596 crore. Rising NPAs, higher 
risk provisioning assigned to road sector and dwindling 
profits in the road sector have made banks reduce 
exposure to the infrastructure sector.

7.  Commitment by several large pension funds and long 
term infra-focussed funds to the Indian infrastructure 
space along with NIIF of the Union Government is 
expected to boost the secondary market for TOT 
projects.

Transmission Lines: Around 23,119 circuit kms of 
transmission lines and 86,193 MVA of transformation 
capacity was added during FY 2017-2018. REC TPCL (REC 
Transmission Projects Company Limited, a 100% subsidiary 
of Rural Electrification Corporation) the Bid Process 
Coordinator (BPC) for Transmission Lines on the TBCB (Tariff 
Based Competitive Bidding) route has awarded two bids 
during FY 2017-2018.

A large number of Intrastate Transmission Line bids are 
expected in the coming years.

During the first quarter of FY 2018, an InvIT was 
successfully launched and listed in the Transmission Line 

sector (two power transmission projects with a total circuit 
length of approximately 1,936 ckms, and 6,000 MVA of 
transformation capacity).

Significant Developments in the current year
During 2017-18, L&T IDPL completed two of its highway 
projects, L&T Deccan Tollway and L&T Sambalpur 
Rourkela Tollways, both of which achieved commercial 
operations and commenced toll collection. These 
two highways are generating revenues of about. 
R 60 Lakhs per day.

Overall, gross toll revenue of R 1892.94 crore grew by 19% 
over the last fiscal, despite muted WPI growth of 3%

Electronic toll collections through FASTag saw a large jump. 
Further to the push of less-cash drive of Government of 
India, L&T IDPL FASTag collections went up by 87% (June 
2017 to June 2018).

The transmission line business had gross collection of 
R 202.26 crore as annuity payments.

In May 2018, L&T IDPL became the first infrastructure 
sponsor to successfully launch a private placed InvIT 
(infrastructure investment trust) with an initial portfolio of 
five road assets. This InvIT raised R 3700 crore, with 55% of 
the funds coming from international investors from Canada 
and Germany. InvIT has enabled L&T IDPL to monetize five 
of its assets, repaying bank loans and providing growth 
capital; It also provides L&T IDPL a platform for operating 
assets, both existing and future.

Outlook:
In the coming year, L&T IDPL would constantly evaluate 
new opportunities with worthwhile returns, with a special 
focus on highways and transmission lines, while other 
sectors could be taken up on a project-wise basis. L&T IDPL 
would also focus on operational excellence for its existing 
asset portfolio. To ensure this, L&T IDPL is undergoing 
Project LEAP, a Business Excellence Initiative.

L&T IDPL looks forward to more PPP infrastructure projects 
in both project construction and asset monetization. 
We also hope for quicker dispute resolution processes, 
wherein several of our claims and court cases may see 
final determination. L&T IDPL would also engage with 
all stakeholders to ensure accounting policies and other 
enabling environment is conducive to its business.

L&T IDPL would also evaluate operational assets from the 
secondary market and shall seek to acquire such assets 
(primarily covering Highways & Transmission Lines) which 
meet the investment benchmarks. L&T IDPL would also 
seek to re-enter projects in Bulk/Industrial Water and 
Railways.

L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited

Overview
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&TMRHL) was 
incorporated on 24th August, 2010 as a special purpose 
vehicle to undertake the business to construct, operate 
and maintain the Metro Rail System in Hyderabad 

Visakhapatnam industrial water supply project, Andra Pradesh

under the PPP (Public Private Partnership) model on 
Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) 
basis. The Company entered into a Concession 
Agreement with the erstwhile Government of Andhra 
Pradesh on 4th September, 2010. The agreement 
also provides for development and subsequent 
monetization of Transit Oriented Development.

The Metro Rail system includes construction of three 
elevated corridors from Miyapur to L. B. Nagar, 
Jubilee Bus Station to Falaknuma and from Nagole to 
Shilparamam, covering a total distance of 71.16 km. 
The concession period of the project is for 35 years 
including the initial construction period of 5 years. The 
Concession period is extendable for a further period of 
25 years subject to fulfilment of certain conditions by 
the Company as set out in the Concession Agreement.

The estimated project cost is R 16,375 crore which 
includes the cost of rail system and 6 million TOD 
which is to be funded by a term loan of R 11,478 
crore, equity share capital of R 3,439 crore and 
Viability Gap Fund from Government of R 1,458 
crores. The company has tied up its entire debt and 
achieved financial closure on 1st March 2011. The 
Government of Telangana has declared the appointed 
date as 5th July, 2012 upon fulfilment of the condition 
precedents (CP) from both the parties i.e. L&T Metro 
Rail (Hyderabad) Limited and the State Government.

The Company is executing the project, covering a 
total distance of 71.16 km in 3 different corridors. 
This entire distance is further sub-divided into 6 
stages for ease of implementation. The project cost 

213
213

incurred during the year 2017-18 is R 2,241 crore and 
cumulative up to 31.03.2018 is R 14,723 crore. The 
Hon’ble Prime Minister inaugurated a 30 km stretch 
of the Metro Rail System on 28th November, 2017 
connecting Miyapur to Ameerpet in Corridor 1 and 
Ameerpet to Nagole in Corridor 3.

The overall physical progress of the project as on 
31.03.2018 is 81%. Construction works in Stage 4 and 
5 are nearly complete. The Company is aiming for the 
commencement of commercial services from Ameerpet 
to LB Nagar and Ameerpet to Hitec city before 
December 2018. Stage 6/1 is slated for completion 
during first quarter of next financial year.

As per the Concession Agreement (CA), the scheduled 
Commercial Operation (COD) date for the entire 
project length of 71.16 km was 5th July, 2017. 
However, due to delays in getting RoW and confirming 
alignment changes, the construction of the project 
has got delayed. The lenders have accorded sanction 
of extension of time for COD up to two years i.e., 
up to 5th July, 2019 with a corresponding increase in 
the loan period. As per the revised schedule, the loan 
repayment will start from 30th September, 2020. The 
corresponding cost implications are being assessed for 
claiming compensation.

TOD Projects commenced commercial operations at 
Punjagutta (0.48 million sq. ft. office space during 
Nov. ‘17 and mall space during Feb. ‘18) and at Hitec 
city (0.21 million sq. ft. mall space during Feb18). 
Two other malls at Errum Manzil (0.35 million sq. ft.) 
and Musarambagh (0.24 million sq. ft.) are nearing 

Kudgi Power Transmission Line project, Karnataka

completion. Strategies to develop the Raidurg site, 
which is a large parcel of land, at a prime location and 
has a potential of 3.20 million sq. ft. of mall space and 
office buildings, are underway.

Viability Grant of Funding (VGF) is being released by 
the Central Government from time to time as per 
eligibility and the total VGF drawn stood at R 1204 
crore as on 31st March, 2018.

Business Environment
About 10 million transport trips are performed every 
day in Hyderabad city and the major share is taken by 
bus transport (50%). The city roads are congested, 
with only 8% road area and a very low average speed 
(about 8 kmph). The Company is poised to provide 
safe and punctual travel and has been working on 
various value-added initiatives including last mile 
connectivity, digital ticketing and a Mobile app to minimize 
commuters’ pain points, ensuring higher ridership on the 
metro system.

Non-fare revenue generation through cross-selling of 
products to commuters is being increasingly explored. This 
will be further strengthened by Metro expansion, which will 
result in higher ridership. The Government of Telangana has 
plans to implement Phase II of the Metro project, covering 
85 km (including the Airport link). This will enhance the 
average ridership on the Metro system significantly due to 
the network effect.

The Company has been granted rights for Real Estate 
development with strategically located land parcels 

214
214

interspersed at prime city locations, adjoining metro 
Stations and metro corridors. Developments would 
encompass Grade-A commercial developments for IT/ITES 
Office, Healthcare, Retail and Hospitality. Advertisement 
space offers good revenue potential through unlocking 
various innovative products and services.

Significant Initiatives
The Company has tied-up with a solar power developer 
for generating captive solar power of about 10 MW at a 
very competitive price, which will generate about 10% of 
energy requirement of Metro trains. The Company has also 
received concessional rate of R 4.95/- per Unit (cheapest in 
the country) for electricity.

The Company is exploring various non-fare revenue 
generating options through optimization of resources 
developed in-house for the past 5 years, namely:

•  Leasing out space for erecting mobile towers.

•  Skywalks connecting the malls & metros leading to 

increase in footfall and increased ridership

•  Tie up with cab operators

•  Leasing out Optical Fibre

•  Training our upcoming metro staff with the existing 

infrastructure

•  Consultancy services for other metros.

The Company has developed models to obviate TOD 
related threats, while leveraging the various advantages 
of the offering like metro-rail connect, strategic locational 
offering, etc., and has also obtained automatic step-in-
rights by the Government for specific retailers by which, the 
risk in the event of termination is mitigated. The Company 
has also re-negotiated contracts with various project 
contractors to minimize the claims, on account of extension 
of time.

Outlook:
The Company is planning to open another two stages 
of Metro (Stage 4 & Stage 5) in FY 2018-19, thus taking 
the total metro operations to 56 km, with an expected 
overall ridership of approx. 6.15 lakhs per day. Measures 
like fare integration with other transport modes and 
collaborations with various feeder services for first and 
last mile connectivity are being taken to strengthen fare 
revenue. The Company is also exploring other Non-Fare 
Revenue initiatives like consultancy services with in-house 
competency on Metro system, Wi-Fi, Radio, etc., that will 
add extra revenue to the Company.

Buoyed by the success of Phase 1 Malls, the Company 
intends to start with a 0.5 million sq. mall at Raidurg 
along with 0.15 million sq. mall at Rasoolpura. Discussions 
with customers to kick start a few other developments 
of the portfolio are underway. Measures are being taken 
to upfront the cash inflows on advertisement services by 
entering into longer tenure contracts.

Thermal Power Projects – Nabha Power Limited (NPL)
NPL owns and operates a 2X700 MW supercritical 
thermal power plant at Rajpura, Punjab. Under the Power 
Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Punjab State Power 
Corporation Limited (PSPCL), which is for a period of 
twenty-five years, the entire power generated from this 
plant is sold to PSPCL. The plant is built on super critical 

215

technology of Mitsubishi, Japan. It is the first ‘made in 
India’ supercritical power plant to be commissioned and 
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 also secured 
approvals to arrange coal from alternative sources to make 
up for any shortage in supply of coal under the FSA. The 
State Government has allocated the perennial source of 
water for the plant from the Bhakra-Nangal distributary. 
The plant is operated by an in-house team of experienced 
operations and maintenance professionals.

The power plant has been running successfully for over 
four years with an availability of 85% during FY18. 
NPL has been the most reliable source of power for the 
state of Punjab and has supported its requirements with 
uninterrupted supply during peak season.

NPL also happens to be the lowest cost power producer 
within Punjab with benchmark-setting operational 
efficiency.

Business Environment
India’s Electricity Generation grew at 6% in FY 18 and 
there was addition of 5.44 GW of Thermal Energy Capacity 
Additions in the same period. The Power Demand in Punjab 
was 4671 MW (Q4 2018), registering a 10% increase over 
the demand in the corresponding period last year.

During the year, the power sector was grappling 
with a severe coal shortage. NPL had a lower Plant 
Availability Factor (PAF) due to a forced shutdown in 
October ’17 on account of coal shortages. However, the 
plant imported coal to augment coal supplies and ensured 
a PAF of 85%.

Third Party Sampling and testing through CIMFR (Central 
Institute of Mining and Fuel Research) has been operating 
quite well to mitigate the grade slippage issues in linkage 
coal.

Significant Milestones and Initiatives

emission reduction 220 Tons p.a.

•  Reliability Centred Maintenance approach implemented

•  Performance linked allocation made for improvement in 

coal quality

•  Reduction in interest cost through reduction in borrowing 

and lower interest rate achieved through innovative 
financing instruments

•  Awards received:

  •  Excellent Energy Efficiency Unit, CII, Hyderabad

  •  Top Plant Award, Power Magazine, USA

  •  Best Thermal Generation Unit, IPPAI

  •  Gold Award in Environment, Health & Safety, Grow 

Care India

  •  Best IPP award, Asian Power Magazine

  •  Best Employer Brand Award, EBI

•  CSR initiatives in the area of development of village 

infrastructure, education, skill building, gender equality, 
health and environment were implemented during the 
year

The Company is committed to generate reliable and 
environment- friendly power under safe working 
conditions. Emphasis is laid on continual improvement of 
processes and practices to achieve improved environmental, 
health and safety performance. Training on HSE for 
employees and stake holders is undertaken on a regular 
basis to foster a culture of health and safety.

Outlook
The major focus areas for NPL during FY19 would be 
maximising plant availability, improving operational 
efficiency, enhancing fuel quality, resolving the regulatory 
issues, collection of disputed receivables, cost reduction 
initiatives and Health, Safety and Environment compliances. 
With issues relating to coal allocation under Fuel Supply 
Agreement coupled with logistic constraints, fuel availability 
continues to be challenging in FY 19 too. Procuring 
higher quantities of imported coal, encouraging PSPCL 
for diversion of coal lying in other Power Plants to NPL 

216

and pursuing increase in coal allocation would ensure Fuel 
Security.

Increasing global warming and need for long-term 
sustainable energy security have renewed the focus on 
the traditionally most clean hydro-power. Accordingly, the 
Government is considering policy initiatives for the revival 
of the hydro-power sector. The Company expects that 
approval and timely implementation of these initiatives by 
the Government in the near future may positively impact 
the hydro-power development in the country.

Marine Infrastructure Developer Private Limited : 
Kattupalli Port
Kattupalli Port at Chennai, a container port with a capacity 
to handle 1.2 million TEUs per annum has a container 
terminal with two container berths, and has been accorded 
SEZ co-developer status. During the year 2015-16, the 
Company (L&T) entered into an agreement with Adani 
Group (a port operator) to demerge the port business and 
divest the stake in the resulting company. In the current 
year 2018-19, the Company has divested its ownership 
and has completed the transfer of the port ownership in 
entirety.

Financial Review 2017-18

I.  L&T CONSOLIDATED

A. PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Company performed well on all the parameters during 
the financial year 2017-18, with pick-up in domestic 
investment climate. The slew of measures implemented 
over the last year or so - including demonetisation, Real 
Estate Regulatory Act, Goods & Services Tax, Insolvency 
& Bankruptcy Code have resulted in some short-term 
disruptions. In the long term, however, these are expected 
to give rise to a new economic order. This will have 
potential to significantly enhance revenues and channelize 
the funds for inclusive economic development. The 
Government’s thrust on strengthening infrastructure and 
the ‘Make for India’ concept for key strategic areas, will 
provide opportunities to the Company’s various business 
segments. Also, the rise in commodity prices is likely to 
result in capacity additions by the industry. During the 
year, the Company was beneficiary of the initial impact of 
such measures, which is expected to gather momentum as 
we go forward.

On the global front, uncertainties continue, as developed 
economies have started backing protectionist policies 
and the geo-political climate is giving rise to new trade 
partners, impacting the way of doing business. However, 
with hardening of oil prices, the investment momentum 
in Middle East, a major market for the Company outside 
India, is expected to improve. The Company continues 
to be selective in addressing the international market. 
The business environment remained competitive, with 
both domestic and international players fighting for the 
opportunities available.

Against the backdrop of such an environment, the Group 
recorded satisfactory growth during the year with steady 
performance of its businesses in diverse sectors. The 
Company continued to focus on its goal of maximizing 
shareholder value creation by exiting non-core businesses, 
implementing operational excellence initiatives to have 
profitable growth and containing working capital along 
with better fund management. During the year the 
Company sold two of its subsidiaries EWAC Alloys Limited 
and L&T Cutting Tools Limited. The Company is awaiting 
regulatory approval for conclusion of its stake sale in a 
container port in Tamil Nadu. In November 2017, L&T 
Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, a subsidiary company, 
commissioned a 30 km stretch of metro rail network in the 
city of Hyderabad. Another subsidiary company viz. Nabha 
Power Limited, which houses two thermal power plants at 
Rajpura, received a favourable Supreme Court judgement 
on matters affecting the viability of the Company. The year 
also saw growth consolidation in some businesses, while 

the listed entities within the group - L&T Infotech Limited, 
L&T Technology Services and L&T Financial Services - 
recorded notable growth, with expansion of business and 
new acquisitions.

As at March 31, 2018, L&T Group comprises 93 
subsidiaries, 8 associates, 34 joint venture companies and 
33 joint operations. Most of the group companies are 
strategic extensions of the project and product businesses 
of L&T. Project business catering to the hydrocarbon sector 
is housed in a separate set of group companies to provide 
the business with focus and independent functioning. The 
majority of the subsidiaries support L&T’s core businesses 
and enable access to new geographies, products and 
business segments. Certain distinct service businesses 
- such as Information Technology, Technology Services, 
Developmental Projects and Financial Services - are housed 
in separate subsidiary and joint venture companies of L&T.

Order Inflow & Order Book
L&T Group achieved an order inflow of R 152908 crore 
during the year 2017-18, achieving a growth of 6.9% 
over the previous year. The revival of the domestic 
market compensated for the slight lull on the back of 
depressed oil prices in Middle East, the major market for 
the Company. The domestic market evidenced a pick-up 
in capex finalization by public sector and Government 
undertakings. Also, the year saw movement in the 
award of orders from the private sector, resulting from 
strengthening of commodity prices and improvement in 
investment climate. Domestic order inflow increased by 
15.3% to 76.6% of total order inflow, despite ordering 
momentum yet to gather pace in sectors like Defence, 
the preference there being on public sector enterprises. 
International order inflow declined by 13.6% to 23.4% of 
total order inflow. Further, geographical spread of order 
inflow changed during the year, with the Middle East 
contributing a lower share of 44.8%, which was earlier 
64.9%.

Order Inflow growth was mainly driven by the 
Infrastructure segment, contributing 57.1% of the total 
order inflow for the year. Infrastructure growth was led by 
some large value, prestigious orders received in Heavy Civil 
Infrastructure, Building & Factories and Water & Effluent 
Treatment. The respective businesses of the Company 
have been beneficiaries of the improved investment 
environment in India – accruing from the National 
Highway Authority of India, Dedicated Freight Corridor, 
Saubhagya Scheme, Mass Transit Systems, Airport 
expansion programmes, Andhra Pradesh Infrastructure 
Development, Refinery Expansions, Water Management 
programmes, in addition to some private sector expansion 
capex.

218

A robust order book of R 263107 crore as at March 31, 
2018 gives multi-year revenue and margin visibility to the 
Company. With current year order inflow being domestic 
centric, the composition of international order book 
declined to 23.8% as at March 31, 2018, as compared to 
26.7% in the previous year. As a result of introduction of 
Goods & Services Tax, the order book has been adjusted, 
since revenue excludes GST.

Infrastructure segment continues to contribute 74% of 
the consolidated order book, comprising mainly Heavy 
Civil Infrastructure 18%, Building & Factories 17%, 
Transportation Infrastructure 14%, Power Transmission & 
Distribution 14% and Water & Effluent Treatment 11%. 
With reduced opportunities in the Power sector, the share 
in order book has declined from 5% to 4%.

The growth in revenue was achieved despite transitory 
disruptions due to GST implementation during the 
year. Growth was largely contributed by Heavy Civil 
Infrastructure, Water & Effluent Treatment, Transportation 
Infrastructure, Hydrocarbon, Heavy Engineering and 
Services business. Delayed order awards impacted 
Metallurgical & Material Handling, while limited 
opportunities and intense price competition impacted 
revenue accruals in Power and Valves businesses 
respectively. Growth in L&T’s Electrical & Automation 
business was supported by improved demand for standard 
products, particularly the metering systems.

Operating Cost and PBDIT

Manufacturing, Construction and Operating (MCO) 
expenses at R 83305 crore increased by 6.7% over 
FY 2016-17, registering improved operational efficiency. 
These expenses mainly comprise cost of construction 
material, raw materials and components, subcontracting 
expenses and interest costs of Financial Services business.

Revenue from Operations
L&T Group recorded revenue of R 119862 crore during 
the year, registering a growth of 9%. Adjusted for Excise 
Duty in the previous year, the growth on a like-to-like basis 
was 9.5%. Revenue earned from international operations 
comprised 33% as compared to 34% in the previous year.

219

Staff expenses for the year 2017-18 at R 15292 crore 
increased by 10.4% over the previous year. Staff Cost as a 
percentage of revenue marginally increased to 12.8% from 
12.6%, mainly due to addition of resources for growth of 
the IT & TS businesses. The Company continues to focus 
on improved productivity, digitalization and manpower 
rationalization.

Exceptional Items
Exceptional items of R 123 crore during the year represent 
gain on divestment of stake in two wholly owned 
subsidiaries, EWAC Alloys Limited and L&T Cutting Tools 
Limited, net of provisions made towards uncertain recovery 
of outstanding from a customer referred under Insolvency 
& Bankruptcy Code.

Sales and administration expenses increased by 10.1% 
y-o-y to R 7693 crore, mainly due to higher provisioning 
by Financial Services, Development Projects, Infrastructure 
and Hydrocarbon business, partly compensated by 
exchange gains.

The Group operating profit at R 13571 crore for the 
year 2017-18 registered a healthy growth of 22% y-o-y. 
The EBITDA margins for the year also improved by 120 
basis points to 11.3%. The closure of legacy projects in 
the Hydrocarbon business, cost optimization measures 
in product businesses, monetization of a Realty asset, 
the favourable Supreme Court judgement in the Nabha 
Power case and the strong growth of IT&TS businesses - 
contributed to the improvement in 2017-18, as compared 
to the previous year.

Depreciation & Amortization Charge

Depreciation and amortization charge for the year 
2017-18 decreased by 19% to R 1929 crore, compared 
to R 2370 crore in previous year. The decrease was largely 
due to impairment in the asset values in some of the 
businesses, in the previous year.

Other Income
Other income at R 1412 crore, which increased by 5% 
over R 1344 crore, consists of profit on sale of liquid 
investments, interest and dividend income from treasury 
investments. The growth was on account of higher 
gains from deployment of surplus funds generated 
through operations, and through divestment of stake in 
subsidiaries.

Finance Cost
The interest expenses for the year 2017-18 at R 1539 crore 
was higher by 15% in comparison to R 1339 crore for the 
previous year. The increase was attributable to the impact 
of interest cost in L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail upon partial 
commencement of operations in November 2017, and 
cessation of capitalization of interest on Seawoods assets, 
on it getting ready for sale. Further, higher proportion of 
interest bearing advances in Infrastructure businesses and 
increase in LIBOR rates resulted in increasing the average 
borrowing cost for the year to 7.3%, as compared to 
6.9% in the previous year.

220

Tax Expense
Income Tax charge for FY 2017-18 increased to R 3199 
crore compared to R 2007 crore in FY 2016-17 mainly 
due to increased profits and higher Effective Tax Rate, on 
account of increased disallowances in respect of earlier 
years.

Profit after Tax & EPS
Consolidated Profit after Tax (PAT) at R 7370 crore for 
the year 2017-18 rose by 22% over the previous year at 
R 6041 crore.

Consolidated Earnings per Share (EPS) including 
exceptional items for the year 2017-18 at R 52.62 were 
higher by 22% over the previous year.

Return on Net Worth

The Net Worth of the shareholders, as on March 31, 2018, 
at R 55657 crore, reflects an increase of R 5440 crore, as 
compared to the position as on March 31, 2017. Return 
on Net Worth (RONW) for the year 2017-18 was higher at 
13.9%, driven by increase in net earnings, as compared to 
12.8% in the previous year.

Liquidity & Gearing
Cash flow from operations decreased to R 6428 crore as 
compared to R 12399 crore in the previous year mainly 
due to higher levels of working capital, which partially 
negated increase in operating profits. The group earned 

constituted 16% of the total order inflows for the 
segment.

a significantly higher income from investing activities 
- namely dividends, proceeds from sale of treasury 
investments and divestment activities - which was used to 
repay certain high cost borrowings and meet interest and 
dividend.

The Group incurred capital expenditure of R 2015 crore 
during the year, mainly on construction activity of L&T 
Metro Rail Hyderabad project. There was a net increase of 
R 3254 crore in the cash balances as at March 31, 2018 as 
compared to the beginning of the year.

Infrastructure Segment

B.  SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE (GROUP)
1. 
The Infrastructure segment won orders worth R 87277 
crore, higher by 11% over the previous year, mainly 
from domestic public sector and government customers. 
Large orders were won by Heavy Civil Infrastructure, 
Transportation Infrastructure and Water & Effluent 
Treatment. Although, liquidity constraints of customers, 
aggravated by demonetization continue to impact growth 
momentum in Buildings & Factories, during the year, the 
business was successful in winning a few large-value 
orders. The relatively new business of Smart World & 
Communication registered growth on receipt of smart city 
and telecom orders.

Overall Infrastructure business saw reduced opportunities 
in the Middle East arising out of fiscal policy measures 
in those countries. International order wins of the 
Infrastructure segment, mainly in Power Transmission & 
Distribution and Transportation Infrastructure businesses, 

The Infrastructure segment clocked a gross revenue of 
R 59819 crore for the year 2017-18 registering 10.9% 
growth over the previous year. Execution of orders in hand 
progressed well majorly in Heavy Civil Infrastructure, Water 
& Effluent Treatment and Transportation Infrastructure. 
Building & Factories and Smart World & Communication 
faced some execution impediments by way of fund 
allotment / liquidity crunch, customer clearances and 
work-front availability. Right-of-way and environment 
clearances continue to hamper execution in some of the 
projects.

Revenue from international operations constituted 29% 
of the total revenues of the segment during the year as 
compared to 33% in the previous year, with a reduced 
international order book.

The Infrastructure Segment’s operating profit was higher 
by 10% on y-o-y basis at R 5902 crore for 2017-18, 
though operating margins dropped marginally from 10.2% 
to 10% due to certain stressed international projects in 
Transportation Infrastructure and Buildings & Factories 
businesses.

221

The Funds employed by the segment at R 17511 crore as 
at March 31, 2018 increased by 8.7% vis-à-vis March 31, 
2017, with increased volumes. Increase in Gross Working 
Capital levels due to build-up of project work-in-progress, 
not due for invoicing and collection, was partially 
compensated by better vendor credit management and 
increase in customer advances on new order wins.

2.  Power Segment
The Power segment bagged orders worth R 2414 crore 
as compared to R 2866 crore in the previous year. The 
orders won during the year were majorly export orders. 
The domestic sector continues to be plagued with lower 
levels of coal-based power plant ordering in the face of 
over-capacity in boiler and turbine production as well 
as aggressive pricing by competitors. The order inflow 
was low, also due to the segment losing one large-value 
domestic order and non-participation in another large-
value order due to unfavourable terms.

PAT level. This impacts the operating margin for the Power 
business, since the EPC margins reported as segment 
margins do not include the performance of joint ventures, 
which have a better margin profile.

The funds employed by the segment stood at R 790 crore 
as at March 31, 2018 - higher than R 485 crore as on 
March 31, 2017 - with release of payments to vendors and 
higher carrying value of Investment in Joint Ventures under 
the Power Group, consolidated through equity method 
under IND AS.

3.  Heavy Engineering Segment
The Heavy Engineering segment recorded order inflow of 
R 5848 crore for the year ending March 31, 2018 - lower 
by 25.6% as compared to the previous year, which had 
a large-value Defence order. The current year had a mix 
of orders from the Nuclear Power Corporation of India 
and some defence sector orders. International orders 
constituted a nominal 2.7% of the total international 
order inflows.

Power segment revenue declined y-o-y by 10.5% to 
R 6208 crore, as jobs under execution moved closer to 
completion and new awards were delayed. Revenue from 
international projects at R 1468 crore represented 24% 
of the total revenue for the segment, largely contributed 
by gas-based power plant jobs under execution in 
Bangladesh.

Operating margin decreased by 10 basis points to 3.4% 
during FY 2017-18, as compared to 3.5% in 2016-17 on 
account of change in job mix.

Segment gross revenue of R 4114 crore improved by 19% 
compared to the previous year on the back of execution 
progress on defence jobs received in the previous year. 
Revenue from international operations constituted 22% of 
the total revenue for the segment.
The segment recorded a 6.4% increase in the operating 
profit for the year at R 655 crore against an operating 
profit of R 615 crore in the previous year. The operating 
margin declined from 20% in previous year to 17.1% in 
current year upon change in job mix.

As stated in the previous year, with implementation of IND 
AS, the Joint Venture operations are consolidated only at 

222

Funds employed by the segment as on March 31, 2018 at 
R 1379 crore increased 6% y-o-y, on account of increase 
in construction work-in-progress awaiting invoicing 
milestones, which was partially offset by receipt of 
customer advances and higher vendor credit.

4.  Electrical & Automation Segment (E&A)

The E&A segment performed well, despite the 
transitionary challenges of GST. The Standard Products 
business contributed higher sales of final distributed 
products, agricultural starters and energy meters. The 
business recorded a gross revenue of R 5508 crore for 
the year, an increase of 2.6% over the previous year and 
adjusted for excise duty in previous year, the growth is 
11%. With lower than expected volumes in international 
group companies, revenue from international operations 
declined to 28.1% of the total revenues of the segment.

Segment operating profit for the year improved to R 822 
crore, a 17% increase over previous year. Operating 
margins improved during the year by 90 basis points to 
16%, owing to favourable product mix and improved 
operational efficiencies.

year, driven by a number of onshore and offshore orders 
in domestic sectors and from the Middle East region. 
International orders accounted for 37.6% of total order 
inflow for 2017-18 as compared to 66.9% in the previous 
year, which included a large-size order in the offshore area 
of work.

Segment revenue grew by a healthy 22% y-o-y at R 11760 
crore for the year, through strong execution progress, 
particularly, with respect to fast-track projects received 
during the year. International revenue contributed 57.6% 
of the total revenue of the segment as compared to 
48.6% in the previous year, due to higher proportion of 
international orders in the opening order book.

Favourable claim settlements and close-out of stressed 
jobs resulted in a higher operating profit of R 904 crore 
as compared to R 657 crore in the previous year and the 
consequent margin improvement from 6.8% to 7.7%.

Funds employed at R 2271 crore decreased by 6.5% y-o-y 
aided by higher credit from vendors.

The Company has signed definitive agreements with

the previous year. International revenue constitutes 91% 
of the total revenue of the segment.

The Segment Operating profit stood at R 2391 crore for 
the year 2017-18 as compared to R 2063 crore in the 
previous year. Operating margin improvement of 20 basis 
points, is on account of improved operational efficiencies.

stake in L&T Infotech and 1.13% stake in L&T Technology 
Services, towards meeting the regulatory requirement of

The Financial Services segment comprises Rural, Wholesale 
and Housing Finance as well as Investment and Wealth 
Management businesses housed within L&T Finance 
Holdings Limited (LTFH) and its subsidiaries. The general 
insurance business was divested during FY 2016-17.

by growth in the loan assets and disbursements in all its 
focused businesses.

224

The Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPA) ratio decreased 
from 7.11% (restated) as at March 31, 2017 to 4.80% 
as at March 31, 2018. LTFH, however, has been 
strengthening its balance sheet throughout the year by 
making accelerated provisions in addition to those required 
under regulations. Consequently, the coverage on GNPA 
increased from 31% (restated as per new RBI norms) in 
the year ended March 31, 2017 to 53% in the year ended 
March 31, 2018 indicating a much stronger balance sheet.

conclude the divestment in a container port in Kattupalli, 
Tamil Nadu to a strategic investor and is in advanced stage 
of selling 5 road concessions to an Investment Trust.

9. 

‘Others’ Segment

The ‘Others’ Segment covers Metallurgical and Material 
Handling (MMH), Realty, Shipbuilding, Construction and 
Mining Machinery, Industrial Machinery & Products and 
Valves businesses.

Revenue for the segment declined during the year as 
demand for Real Estate in the metro cities of Mumbai and 
Bengaluru witnessed a slowdown post-demonetization, 
and the Valves business faced de-growth due to lower 
order intake on account of severe competition. With the 
segment registering one large-value transaction in Realty, 
the operating margin improved significantly compared to 
previous year.

Management (AAUM) in the Investment Management 
business increased to R 65932 crore during the year ended 
March 31, 2018 - a growth of 68%. Average Assets 
Under Service (AAUS) in the Wealth Management business 
increased to R 18347 crore during the year ended March 
31, 2018, registering growth of 35%.

8.  Developmental Projects (DP)
The Group has acquired concessions through the 
competitive bidding process for the development of 
Power projects, Roads, Bridges, Hyderabad Metro Rail 
and power transmission line. The total portfolio of the 
group consists of 5 power projects, 15 road & bridge 
projects, 1 transmission line project, 2 ports and 1 metro 
rail project. The metro rail project is housed under L&T 
Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&T MRHL) which is a 
100% subsidiary of L&T. Power projects are developed 
by L&T Power Development Limited & other projects are 
developed by L&T Infrastructure Development Projects 
Limited. The total estimated cost of projects, reassessed 
not considering the 3 hydel power projects under hold, is 
pegged at R 47807 crore, of which equity commitment is 
R 10395 crore with R 9293 crore having been infused as at 
March 2018.

The segment recorded revenue of R 4294 crore for the year 
ended March 31, 2018, which is lower as compared to 
R 4367 crore in the previous year, as construction activity 
in the Hyderabad Metro project nears completion, and is 
partly compensated by higher revenue from the Rajpura 
power plant.

The segment clocked an operating profit of R 270 crore for 
the year 2017-18, improving over the R 91 crore earned 
in FY 2016-17, as Nabha Power accrued revenues on 
receiving a favourable judgement in the matter of disputed 
receivables. The revenue also includes operational revenue 
on partial commissioning of the L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad  
project in November 2017.

II.  L&T STANDALONE

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

L&T’s standalone financials capture the performance of 
the Infrastructure segment, Power, Heavy Engineering, 
Electrical & Automation and the ‘Others’ segment 
comprising Metallurgical and Material Handling business, 
a part of Realty business, a part of Hydrocarbon business, 
part of Shipbuilding business and Construction & Mining 
Machinery business.

L&T delivered good performance on all operational 
parameters, despite a volatile environment. The domestic 
market is set on a growth path with a slew of reforms, 
as against the international arena caught in geo-political 

225

turmoil. The Infrastructure business segment surpassed 
the previous year’s performance, while the Power and 
Industrial businesses continued to experience headwinds 
to growth.

Considering the returns potential and business 
opportunities, the Company has infused additional capital 
of R 2000 crore in L&T Finance Holdings Limited. As a 
part of business portfolio restructuring, the Company 
divested its complete stake in two subsidiaries viz. EWAC 
Alloys Limited and L&T Cutting Tools Limited. In a major 
development, the company took concrete steps towards its 
stated intent to divest the Electrical & Automation business 
by signing, subject to regulatory approvals, a definitive 
agreement with Schneider Electric.

The key focus area continues to be enhancement of 
shareholder value through operating margin improvement 
and higher cash flow generation through working capital 
reduction and unlocking of capital earnings sub-par 
returns.

Order Inflow & Order Book
Order inflow during 2017-18 grew by 13% at R 105302 
crore as compared to R 93201 crore in the previous year. 
The Infrastructure segment contributed 79.1% of the total 
order inflow during the year as compared to 82.1% in the 
previous year. The Power business has been sluggish due 
to the sectoral challenges.

Heavy Engineering order inflow pre-dominantly consisting 
of defence orders, reported a decline due to deferment 
of select prospects. Industrial demand has been low, 
reflecting modest order inflow growth in E&A business. 
The ‘Others’ segment saw pick-up in order inflow in 
the Minerals & Metals business, with higher commodity 
prices driving fresh investment. International order inflow 
dropped to 15.1% of the total order inflow for 2017-18 as 
compared to 16.4% in the previous year.

Order Book as at March 31, 2018 stood at R 227523 
crore, 83.8% of which is contributed by the Infrastructure 
segment. International orders constituted 17.9% of the 
current order book. L&T continues to carry a healthy order-
book-to-revenue ratio at 3.05 providing better visibility of 
revenue growth over the medium term.

Revenue From Operations
L&T achieved a revenue growth of 12.5% at R 74612 
crore as compared to R 66301 crore in the previous 
year. Revenue growth over the previous year is mainly 
driven by execution pick-up in infrastructure projects in 
Transportation Infra, Heavy Civil Infra and Water & Effluent 
Treatment and progress in defence projects under Heavy 
Engineering.

The Power segment revenue declined over the previous 
year by 10.6% as a result of a declining order book. 
Electrical & Automation segment grew by 4%.

11% y-o-y in line with revenue growth. The Company’s 
manpower strength stood at 42924 as on March 31, 2018 
compared to 41466 as at March 31, 2017.

Depreciation and amortization charge for the year 
2017-18 reduced by 13.6% and was at R 1049 crore, 
as compared to R 1215 crore in the previous year. The

Company’s treasury operations, dividends and income 
from group companies. Other income for the year 2017-
18 at R 1885 crore, decreased as compared to R 1915 
crore for the previous year, mainly due to lower yield on 
treasury investments.

Other Comprehensive Income (OCI)
Other comprehensive income during year, reflected a loss 
of R 51 crore, compared to a gain of R 157 crore in the 
previous year, mainly representing change in balances 
pertaining to cash flow hedge reserve on account of 
gain/loss during the period and profit/loss reclassification 
adjustments.

working capital at R 15393 crore decreased to 20.6% of 
revenue as compared to R 13933 crore at 21% of revenue 
as on March 31, 2017. Release in working capital is 
attributable to improved collections and better credit terms

crore during the year as compared to R 5980 crore in the 
previous year. The drop is mainly due to higher deployment 
of funds to support growing business volumes. The cash 
generated through internal accruals, treasury income and 
liquidation of current investments was mainly used for 
investments of R 1456 crore in S&A companies and capex 
of R 1013 crore, in addition to payment of dividend and 
interest of R 2279 crore and R 1322 crore respectively.

III.  STRATEGY, BUSINESS MODEL AND RESOURCE 

ALLOCATION

Strategy Formulation:
The company has embedded business strategy formulation 
as part of its long term sustainability plans. Business 
strategy is evolved every 5 years through a collaborative 
and consultative process that also includes financial 
parameters as guideposts for different elements of 
strategic plans.

While 5 year business outlook and broad financial goals 
are embedded as an overarching strategic plan, shorter 
term annual targets are framed before the commencement 
of every financial year which, in turn, get folded into a 
rolling medium term plan.

The current 5 year strategic plan commenced in 2016-17 
and is slated to end on 2020-21 during which time the 
group level shareholder value creation measured by Return 
on Equity (RoE) is targeted to grow significantly.

The Company has a well laid-out plan of resource 
allocation to meet its strategic objectives. These include:

•  Maintaining adequate liquidity on the Balance Sheet 

to exploit organic and inorganic growth opportunities 
and fund emerging businesses such as Smart City 
Infrastructure, Nuclear Power and Defence equipment 
manufacturing.

Prudent allocation of resources (Capex and Working 
Capital) to fund growth in businesses

•  Maintaining strong financial health to facilitate access 

to the Capital Markets as and when required

development initiatives, offering professional 
development opportunities and fostering a conducive 
organisation climate. The company has evolved a 
series of structured HR policies to enable this resource 
allocation.

• 

• 

Sustainable and long term engagements with labour 
sub-contractors to ensure steady augmentation of 
resources at project sites

IV. RISK MANAGEMENT

L&T has a four-tiered structure for Risk Management. The 
top-tier comprises the Audit Committee and a Board-
appointed Apex Risk Management Committee (ARMC) 
comprising of Executive Directors. The Audit Committee 
of the Board oversees the efficacy of the risk management 
processes. Strategic risks and top operational risks and 
new initiatives (new geography, new investment etc.) for 
respective businesses are discussed in detail in the ARMC 
meetings.

The second tier is the Corporate Risk Management 
department and the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), who oversee 
and facilitate the Risk Management processes enterprise-
wide and lead organization-wide initiatives in the Risk 
Management domain.

In the fourth tier, the Project Heads act as risk owners and 
manage operational risks.

The Audit Committee, ARMC and the Risk Management 
Committees at various levels are informed on the critical 
risks affecting the Company for their review and guidance. 
Mitigation plans are drawn up and implemented as 
appropriate within the overall ERM framework of the 
Company.

The Company works predominantly in the project 
business and has developed robust project risk 
management processes. The key processes of risk 
reviews include Pre-bid risk reviews, Execution risk 
reviews, Project Close-out risk reviews and Country 
Clearance, in case of venturing into a new country 
and revisit clearances based on the geopolitical and 
economic developments in each of the cleared countries. 
Pre-bid reviews are carried out as a pre-requisite for 
bidding for any new project based on a bid authorization 
matrix. Execution risk reviews of the projects are 
held at regular intervals to track project performance, 
movement of risks in the project and effectiveness 
of mitigation measures. Close-out risk reviews are 
held to capture key learnings from the projects and 
what went right/wrong analysis, which help in factoring 
learnings for future bids and creating a knowledge 
repository.

The Company also has a robust Financial Risk 
Management set-up which focuses on exposures and risks 
emanating from currency and commodity price volatility in 
the course of business. The structural stability and strength 
of the Company is ensured by careful Assets / Liabilities 
planning.

L&T has been conferred the prestigious ‘Best Risk 
Management Framework And Systems - Capital Projects 
& Infrastructure Award’ at the India Risk Management 
Awards event organized by CNBC TV18.

The Company emphasizes on continuous learning and 
has initiated several knowledge-based initiatives to 
improve risk awareness across the organization. One 
such initiative was launching of an e-learning training 
program for employees on Enterprise Risk Management 
(ERM) to disseminate knowledge and enhance capabilities 
on risk management, which will lead to better business 
performance. The course is continuously updated with 
new case studies relevant to the various business verticals. 

230

Periodic training workshops on risk management are held 
across the Company.

The Company organises seminars and conclaves on Risk 
Management, where eminent speakers on the subject are 
invited to share perspectives and to elevate the level of 
discussions on the topic within the Company.

The Company has a Knowledge Centre established 
to provide inputs to the businesses comprising the 
latest economic developments and covering analysis 
on competitors, clients, sectoral studies, countries and 
geo-political developments. The efforts are on to help 
businesses anticipate potential risks in their respective 
areas and work out suitable steps to deal with them. This 
also highlights opportunities in the sectors / geographies 
of interest.

The Company recognizes exceptional contribution in 
managing risks by awarding selected project teams in the 
annual L&T Risk Management Awards.

The top enterprise-level risks for the Company and the 
mitigation measures being implemented are:

Geopolitical Risks: Unexpected political changes in some 
of the developed countries, trade barriers and increasing 
conflict in the Middle East (The Saudi – Qatar standoff) 
are some of the risks that the Company faces. The 
Company monitors such geopolitical risks, and develops 
appropriate mitigation strategies addressing geographical 
concentration, strategic sourcing options, regular 
monitoring of international sanctions and other economic 
measures.

Slow Recovery of Key Sectors: Growth in sectors such 
as Power, Nuclear, and Metals & Minerals continued to 
be hampered by a number of constraints such as the 
lack of investment, the reduction in power tariffs, the 
slow pace of decision-making, the financial distress 
of players, the delay in environmental clearances, the 
lingering effects of the mining ban, etc. Being a diversified 
conglomerate helps mitigate the risk of such slowdown in 
some sectors, as we see compensating growth in certain 
other sectors. Renewed impetus to Infrastructure sector 
by the Government - namely roads, railways, airports & 
waterways - provides growth opportunities in the near 
future.

Competition: It has been observed that competition 
from foreign and domestic players has considerably 
increased in the past few years. The Company’s 
engineering, procurement, and construction business 
derives its competitive strength from its excellence in 
executing projects of varying sizes - its reputation for 

quality, technology, cost-effectiveness and its project 
management expertise. This helps in gaining an edge over 
the competition.

Reputation and Brand: The Corporate Governance 
and Compliance policy is in place mandating adherence 
to the Code of Conduct and Internal Controls. This 
is ensured by regular knowledge-sharing across the 
organization and appropriate controls.

Other Operational Risks:

Execution Challenges: The Company faces 
execution challenges, such as geological surprises, 
availability of work front, land acquisition and right-
of-way (ROW), pending approvals and clearances from 
Government agencies, working in difficult/harsh weather 
conditions, manpower issues, etc. The Company closely 
tracks the key risks for each project to effect timely 
mitigation.

Partner Risks: Company partners with different 
contractors (Joint Venture / consortium projects) across 
businesses based on technical requirements/local market 
conditions. The partner’s performance and financial 
strength are crucial for project success. Learnings from 
past projects are incorporated in the inter-se agreement 
with the partners and clauses on liability of each partner 
are carefully drafted after legal due diligence.

Working Capital Challenges: Project delays and 
adverse contractual payment terms sometimes lead to 
increased working capital requirements. The Company 
has strengthened the process for close monitoring of cash 
flows at the project level. The Company ensures regular 
follow-up for delay in payments by client, and has ensured 
improvement in working capital levels.

Claims management: The Company maintains a strong 
documentation and follow up with clients / sub-
contractors / vendors for any claim that is submitted. Legal 
teams are consulted periodically to ensure a robust process 
of claims management.

Human Resource Challenges:

The Company actively scans the environment for talent 
with skill-sets suited to the expanding and changing needs 
of the business, though availability of such resources is 
limited. The leadership pipeline has been strengthened 
and proper processes are implemented for hiring the best 
talent. Suitable retention policies are being constantly 
worked upon to minimize attrition of key resources.

The Company has institutionalized the risk management 
processes to map and monitor the risks across the 
businesses and respond effectively to achieve its strategic 

231

objectives. The Company has been successful in tapping 
the opportunities both in domestic and international 
markets. The Company sees risk management as a 
business enabler and believes that risk is an integral part of 
every business and promotes capability-building across the 
organization to anticipate and manage risks effectively.

FINANCIAL RISKS

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 in a tough economic 
environment. Low gearing levels also equip the Company 
with the ability to navigate business stresses on one hand 
and raise growth capital on the other. This policy also 
provides flexibility of fund-raising options for the future, 
which is especially important in times of global economic 
volatility. Withdrawal of monetary accommodation in 
certain countries on the back of strong growth and rising 
inflation and the current geo-political positioning have 
resulted in elevated financial market volatility during the 
last quarter of FY17-18. Despite the challenging domestic 
economic environment in FY 17-18, primarily due to 
the spill-over effects of demonetisation as well as GST 
implementation issues, the Company managed to restrain 
the working capital usage, especially at net level. The 
Company has been investing capital into subsidiaries as 
scheduled, and in some cases to provide for deterioration 
in performance caused by the sluggish economic/business 
downturn and JV partner challenges, and also to optimise 
overall Group interest rate costs. The Company plans to 
maintain adequate liquidity on the Balance Sheet to deal 
with slow recovery/downturn in economic conditions.

The Company judiciously deploys its periodical surplus 
funds in short-term investments in line with the defined 
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. The Company further optimized the cost of debt 
by using subsidized export financing scheme of RBI and 
Commercial Paper issuance as well as re-pricing of some of 
its existing long-term liabilities. 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.

Foreign Exchange and Commodity Price Risks

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

denominated financial assets and liabilities. The business- 
related financial risks, especially involving commodity 
prices, by and large, are managed contractually through 
price variation clauses, while the foreign exchange 
and residual commodity price risks are managed by an 
appropriate choice of treasury products for balancing risks 
and at the same time optimising the hedging costs.

The above risk management activity is carried out under 
the framework of Financial Risk Management Policy 
approved by Audit Committee and noted by the Board. 
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 financial year 2017-18 was characterised by a 
relatively strong USD against developed market currencies 
on robust US growth and inflation pick-up. Despite US rate 
hike concerns, rising oil prices and GST implementation 
concerns, rupee depreciation was contained during the 
year. However, synchronized global economic growth 
along with demand/supply mismatches led to an increase 
in commodity prices. The combination of lower exchange 
rate volatility along with robust financial risk management 
processes resulted in lower financial cost and reduced the 
impact of higher input costs on the Company.

V.  INTERNAL CONTROLS

The growing business activities, restructuring of businesses 
and challenging external factors call for a constant 
review of the efficacy of the Company’s internal control 
mechanism. Sound internal control procedures reduce 
process variation, leading to more predictable outcomes. 
The Company is committed to ensuring an effective 
Internal Control environment that will help in preventing 
and detecting errors, irregularities and frauds, thus 
ensuring security of Company’s assets and efficiency 
of operations. The Company has an internal control 
mechanism which is commensurate with the size and 
complexity of business and aligned with evolving business 
needs.

Strong Corporate Governance and the right tone at 
the top serves as a strong pillar for excellence. This is 
demonstrated through various means including, but not 
limited to, the Corporate Policy on Internal Controls, 
which provides a structured framework for identification, 
rectification, monitoring and reporting of Internal Control 
weaknesses in the Company along with responsibilities 
and tasks enjoined upon employees in all positions; the 
Policy on Code of Conduct for employees and vendors 

232

together with the Whistle Blower Policy that extends to 
vendors and channel partners, the facility of expression 
of genuine concerns about unethical behaviour, improper 
practice, any misconduct, any violation of legal or 
regulatory requirements, actual or suspected fraud by any 
official of the Company without fear of punishment or 
unfair treatment; Internal Controls evaluation included 
as part of employee’s appraisal; and appraising Senior 
Management and the Audit Committee of the Board 
periodically on the internal processes of the Company with 
respect to Internal Controls, Statutory Compliances and 
Assurance.

The Company has well-documented policies, procedures 
and authorization guidelines commensurate with the 
level of responsibility and standard operating procedures 
specific to the respective businesses. The Company has laid 
down Internal Financial Controls (IFC) as detailed in the 
Companies Act, 2013 and has covered all major processes 
commensurate with the size of business operations. 
Controls have been established at the entity level and 
process levels, and are designed to ensure compliance 
with internal control requirements, regulatory compliance 
and appropriate recording and reporting of financial 
and operational information. Processes and controls laid 
down as per IFC are regularly updated for all the changes 
occurring internally due to change in business process, 
restructuring, IT changes, etc. or any changes in external 
scenarios like introduction of new law, new risk, etc. There 
is appropriate framework in place to ensure that adequate 
internal controls are laid down and operate effectively.

The Internal Control Organisation

The Company has adopted the three-lines-of-defence 
model as prescribed by COSO (Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations) to ensure an effective internal controls 
mechanism within the Company.

The first line of defence lies with the Business Heads, 
process owners and support functions. They own primary 
responsibility for design, establishment of internal controls 
and its operating effectiveness in their respective areas of 
operation. The Internal Controls framework is documented 
in the form of Internal Controls Manuals, Standard 
Operating Procedures, Accounting Guidelines including 
regular management reporting and monitoring thereof. 
Policies and procedures are reviewed periodically from 
time to time for any changes required, due to change in 
business needs as well as improvements in processes to 
strengthen the internal control systems. The Authorisation 
Matrix for financial transactions are derived based on 
Board resolutions which are delegated to individuals based 
on business needs within the overall limits of Corporate 

Authorisation Guidelines. Financial powers are vested 
based on business requirements and there is no automatic 
vesting of powers based on designation / grade of an 
individual.

The second line of defence lies with Corporate Internal 
Control (CIC) department. They facilitate and monitor the 
efficacy of the Internal Controls embedded in Operations 
so as to assist the management in establishing strong 
internal controls. The Internal Control Department at the 
Corporate level formulates procedures and guidelines 
for any areas of weaknesses that are identified during 
internal audit or as triggered by process owners or 
management based on internal or external risk factors. 
Apart from the internal mechanism to review and monitor 
internal controls; the Company also periodically engages 
independent professional firms to carry out review of 
the effectiveness of various Key Control processes in 
businesses and support functions. Their observations 
and suggestions on good practices are reviewed by the 
management for implementation and strengthening of the 
controls.

The third line of defence lies with Corporate Audit 
Services (CAS). They give assurance on Internal Controls 
effectiveness by carrying out independent internal audits. 
CAS is staffed adequately with qualified professionals 
in both technical and financial fields. The department 
conducts audit of all units of L&T and its major S&A 
companies at regular intervals. Based on observations of 
Internal Audit department, respective process owners carry 
out necessary process / system improvements, and thereby 
strengthen overall control mechanism. The process of 
Internal Audit is reviewed by the Management and Audit 
Committee of the Board.

VI. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

L&T has pioneered the use of Information Technology 
for its business since the IT revolution started. As one of 
the early adopters, L&T implemented ERP systems for its 
businesses successfully in the late nineties, and since then, 
many other complementary systems around ERPs covering 
the entire set of business processes. For speed and agility, 
L&T has followed a federated approach to IT, wherein 
every business had its own IT setup consisting of core ERP, 
associated systems, IT Infrastructure and staff.

New Digital Technologies (AI, ML, RPA & Analytics etc.) 
have been making dramatic transformations to many 
businesses. They have also given rise to new business 
models. L&T has also embarked on a digital transformation 
journey and are being designed and implemented across 
various businesses.

233

The implementation of these digital solutions has 
the potential to transform the way we operate, 
resulting in significant benefits to increase our 
competitiveness and profitability. Implementation of 
these solutions requires us to have robust foundational 
core IT systems running the businesses. While our 
efforts to design and implement the digital solutions 
are under way, our core IT systems are also being 
upgraded, with the requisite set of functionalities and 

technologies on a continuous basis to support these digital 
initiatives.

To strengthen the Information Security status and to 
prevent any cyber threat to the Company’s business or 
information repository, the Company has established a 
CISO office. This move is to give focused attention to the 
growing threats from the cyber world and to enhance the 
Company’s cybersecurity protocols and secure the future 
of the organization.

respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, 
financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity in accordance with the Indian 
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 
2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for 
safeguarding the assets of the respective companies and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection 
and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, 
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit.

In conducting our audit, we have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters

issued under section 143(11) of the Act.

We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the standalone Ind AS 
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements that 
give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating 
the appropriateness of 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports 
referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 
standalone Ind AS financial statements.

ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 
(Referred to in paragraph 1 (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the 
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Larsen & Toubro Limited (the “Company”) as at March 31, 
2018 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company as for the year ended on that date 
which includes internal financial controls over financial reporting of 1 of the 29 joint operations, which is a Company incorporated in 
India. 

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Board of Directors of the Company and those charged with governance of the joint operation referred to above, which is a 
Company incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal 
control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in 
the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants 
of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were 
operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective Company’s policies, 
the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting 
records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company and its 
joint operation Company incorporated in India, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on 
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants 
of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an 
audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was 
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over 
financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining 
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing 
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend 
on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error.

236

237

 
 
 
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditor of the joint operation 
which is a Company incorporated in India, in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the 
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being 
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a 
material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or 
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that 
the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of 
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion
In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the 
report of the other auditor on internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the joint operation referred to in the Other 
Matters paragraph below, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial 
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the 
internal control over financial reporting established by the respective Company considering the essential components of internal control 
stated in the Guidance Note.

Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls 
over financial reporting insofar as it relates to 1 joint operation, which is a Company incorporated in India, is solely based on the report 
furnished to us by the other auditor of such Company.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements
NOTE [1] 

Significant Accounting Policies
(a)  Statement of compliance

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and 
the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and 
amendments thereof issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs in exercise of the powers conferred by section 133 of the Companies 
Act, 2013. In addition, the guidance notes/announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also 
applied except where compliance with other statutory promulgations require a different treatment. These financials statements 
have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 28, 2018.

(b)  Basis of accounting

The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments 
that are measured at fair value in accordance with Ind AS. 

Fair value measurements are categorised as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are 
observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

• 

• 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access at 
measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly or indirectly; and

• 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets or liabilities.

Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair 
value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.

(c)  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 Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements 
of Ind AS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”. 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 the financial statements 
along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and 
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

Amounts in the financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees in crore [1 crore = 10 million] rounded off to two decimal 
places as permitted by Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Per share data are presented in Indian Rupees to two decimals 
places.

(d)  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.

(e)  Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised based on nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and recovered with reasonable 
certainty. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is reduced for estimated customer 
returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

(i) 

Revenue from operations
Revenue for the periods upto June 30, 2017 includes excise duty collected from customers. Revenue from July 1, 2017 
onwards is exclusive of goods and service tax (GST) which subsumed excise duty. Revenue also includes adjustments 
made towards liquidated damages and other variation wherever applicable. Escalation and other claims, which are not 
ascertainable/acknowledged by customers are not taken into account.

A. 

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have been 
passed, provided all the following conditions are satisfied:

1. 

significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer;

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

2. 

the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership 
nor effective control over the good sold;

3. 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

4. 

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and

5. 

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

B. 

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

1.  Cost plus contracts: Revenue from cost plus contracts is determined with reference to the recoverable costs incurred 

during the period plus the margin as agreed with the customer.

2. 

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 subject to the condition that it is probable such cost will be recoverable. 
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.

The estimated outcome of a contract is considered reliable when all the following conditions are satisfied:

i. 

ii. 

iii. 

iv. 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the Company;

the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the contract can be measured reliably.

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

For contracts where the aggregate of contract cost incurred to date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised losses 
as the case may be) exceeds the progress billing, the surplus is shown as due from customers. For contracts where 
progress billing exceeds the aggregate of contract costs incurred to-date plus recognised profits (or minus recognised 
losses, as the case may be), the surplus is shown as the amount due to customers. Amounts received before the related 
work is performed are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as a liability towards advance received. Amounts billed for work 
performed but yet to be paid by the customer are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as trade receivables. The amount of 
retention money held by the customers is disclosed as part of other current assets and is reclassified as trade receivables 
when it becomes due for payment.

C.  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.

D.  Revenue from property development activity in the nature of a construction contract is recognised based on the 

‘percentage of completion method’ (POC) when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably upon fulfilment 
of all the following conditions:

1. 

all critical approvals necessary for commencement of the project have been obtained;

2. 

contract costs for work performed (excluding cost of land/developmental rights and borrowing cost) constitute at 
least 25% of the estimated total contract costs representing a reasonable level of development;

3. 

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

4. 

at least 10% of the total revenue as per the agreements of sale or any other legally enforceable documents is 
realised at the reporting date in respect of each of the contracts and the parties to such contracts can be reasonably 
expected to comply with the contractual payment terms.

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

The costs incurred on property development activities are carried as “Inventories” till such time the outcome of the 
project cannot be estimated reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled. When the outcome of the project 
can be ascertained reliably and all the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled, revenue from property development activity 
is 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-date, to the total estimated cost of the 
project. For the purpose of computing percentage of construction, cost of land, developmental rights and borrowing 
costs are excluded.

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.

E. 

Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering services is recognised when the outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably by reference 
to the stage of completion of the transaction. The outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably when all the 
following conditions are satisfied:

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company;

the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Stage of completion is determined by the proportion of actual costs incurred to-date, to the estimated total costs of the 
transaction.

Unbilled revenue represents value of services performed in accordance with the contract terms but not billed.

F. 

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 the same basis as stated in (B) supra.

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

H.  Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the qualifying costs incurred by the 

company, are recognised as other operational income in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which such 
costs are incurred. Government grant receivable in the form duty credit scrips is recognised as other operational income 
in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the application is made to the government authorities and to 
the extent there is no uncertainty towards its receipt.

I. 

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.

(ii)  Other income

A. 

Interest income on investments and loans is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the 
effective interest rate including interest on investments classified as fair value through profit or loss or fair value through 
other comprehensive income. Interest receivable on customer dues is recognised as income in the Statement of Profit 
and Loss on accrual basis provided there is no uncertainty towards its realisation.

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

C.  Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the 

economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

(f)  Exceptional items

An item of income or expense which by its size, type or incidence requires disclosure in order to improve an understanding of the 
performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item and disclosed as such in the financial statements.

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
(g)  Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

PPE is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the 
cost of the item can be measured reliably. PPE is stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated 
depreciation and cumulative impairment, if any. PPE acquired on hire purchase basis are recognised at their cash values. Cost 
includes professional fees related to the acquisition of PPE and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with 
the Company’s accounting policy.

Own manufactured PPE is capitalised at cost including an appropriate share of overheads. Administrative and other general 
overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to construction or acquisition of PPE or bringing the PPE to working condition 
are allocated and capitalised as a part of the cost of the PPE.

PPE 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).

Depreciation is recognised using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the assets (other than freehold land and 
properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 
2013, or in the case of assets where the useful life was determined by technical evaluation, over the useful life so determined. 
Depreciation method is reviewed at each financial year end to reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic 
benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful life and residual values are also reviewed at each financial year end and the 
effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is accounted on prospective basis.

Where cost of a part of the asset (“asset component”) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different 
from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is 
depreciated over its separate useful life.

Depreciation on additions to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata to the period of use. Extra shift depreciation is 
provided on a location basis.

Depreciation charge for impaired assets is adjusted in future periods in such a manner that the revised carrying amount of the 
asset is allocated over its remaining useful life.

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 adopted by the Company for similar assets.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

(h) 

Investment property

Properties, including those under construction, held to earn rentals and/or capital appreciation are classified as investment property 
and are measured and reported at cost, including transaction costs.

Depreciation is recognised using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the investment property less their residual 
values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 or in the case of assets where the useful life was 
determined by technical evaluation, over the useful life so determined. Depreciation method is reviewed at each financial year end 
to reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future benefits embodied in the investment property. The estimated useful 
life and residual values are also reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/
residual value is accounted on prospective basis. Freehold land and properties under construction are not depreciated.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and 
no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of property is recognised in 
the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period.

(i) 

Intangible assets

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 stated at original cost net of tax/duty 
credits availed, if any, less accumulated amortisation and cumulative impairment. 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.

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

Research and development expenditure on new products:

(i) 

Expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred.

(ii)  Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

A. 

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

B. 

the company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

C. 

the company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

D. 

E. 

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

F. 

the company has ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Development expenditure that does not meet the above criteria is expensed in the period in which it is incurred.

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

Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis over the estimated useful life. The method of amortisation and useful 
life are reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a 
prospective basis.

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

(j) 

Impairment of assets

As at the end of each accounting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE, investment property, intangible 
assets and investments in subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies to determine whether there is any indication that those 
assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, PPE, investment property and intangible assets are tested for 
impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any. Intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each year.

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

(i) 

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

(ii) 

in the case of a cash generating unit (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash flows), at the 
higher of the cash generating unit’s net selling price and the value in use.

(The amount of 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. For this purpose, the discount rate (pre-tax) is determined based on the weighted 
average cost of capital of the company suitably adjusted for risks specified to the estimated cash flows of the asset).

If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such deficit is 
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or cash 
generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the 
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that 
would have been determined had no impairment loss is recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal 
of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(k)  Employee Benefits

(i) 

Short term employee benefits:
Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia and 
performance-linked rewards falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term 
employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii)  Post-employment benefits:

A.  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.

B.  Defined benefit plans: The employees’ gratuity fund schemes and employee provident fund schemes managed by board 
of trustees established by the Company, the post-retirement medical care plan and the Company pension plan represent 
defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation under 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 using a discount rate based on the market 
yield on government securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the defined benefit 
obligations at the Balance Sheet date.

Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest 
on the net defined benefit liability or asset) and any change in the effect of asset ceiling (if applicable) is recognised in other 
comprehensive income and is reflected in retained earnings and the same is not eligible to be reclassified to profit or loss.

Defined benefit costs comprising current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on settlements are recognised 
in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefits expense. Interest cost implicit in defined benefit employee cost is 
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under finance cost. Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit plan 
are recognised when the settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense at the earlier of the plan amendment or 
curtailment and when the company recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.

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.

(iii)  Long term employee benefits:

The obligation recognised in respect of long term benefits such as compensated absences, long service award etc. is 
measured at present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Company and is recognised in a similar 
manner as in the case of defined benefit plans vide (ii)(B) supra.

Long term employee benefit costs comprising current service cost and gains or losses on curtailments and settlements, 
re-measurements including actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit 
expenses. Interest cost implicit in long term employee benefit cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under 
finance cost.

(iv)  Termination benefits:

Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised as expense when the 
Company’s offer of the termination benefit is accepted or when the Company recognises the related restructuring costs 
whichever is earlier.

(l)  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.

(i) 

Finance leases:

A. 

Leases where the Company has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards of ownership of the related assets 
to the lessee are classified as finance leases. Assets taken under finance lease are capitalised at the commencement

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.

B.  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.

(ii)  Operating leases:

The leases which are not classified as finance lease are operating leases.

A. 

Lease rentals on assets under operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis 
over the term of the relevant lease.

B.  Assets leased out under operating leases are continued to be shown under the respective class of assets. Rental income 

is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

(Also refer to policy on depreciation, supra)

(m)  Financial instruments

Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to a contract embodying the 
related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at 
transaction values and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are attributable to 
the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from as the case may be, the fair value of such financial assets or liabilities, on 
initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss are recognised immediately in Profit or Loss. 

In case of funding to subsidiary companies in the form of interest free or concession loans and preference shares, the excess of the 
actual amount of the funding over initially measured fair value is accounted as an equity investment.

A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and presented on net basis in the balance sheet when there is a current legally 
enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and it is intended to either settle on net basis or to realise the asset and settle 
the liability simultaneously.

(i) 

Financial assets:

A.  All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety either at amortised cost or at fair value 

depending on the classification of the financial assets as follows:

1. 

Investments in debt instruments that are designated as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - at fair value.

2. 

 Investments in debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at - at amortised 
cost (unless the same designated as fair value through profit or loss):

• 

• 

The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash 
flows; and

The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

3. 

Investment in debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through 
other comprehensive income [FVTOCI] (unless the same are designated as fair value through profit or loss)

• 

• 

The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows 
and selling financial assets; and

The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

4.  Debt instruments at FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments, if any, and all changes are recognised in 

profit or loss.

5. 

6. 

7. 

Investment in equity instruments issued by subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies are measured at cost 
less impairment.

Investment in preference shares of the subsidiary companies are treated as equity instruments if the same are 
convertible into equity shares or are redeemable out of the proceeds of equity instruments issued for the purpose 
of redemption of such investments. Investment in preference shares not meeting the aforesaid conditions are 
classified as debt instruments at FVTPL.

Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the related instruments are not held for trading 
and the Company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in Other 
Comprehensive Income.

B. 

For financial assets that are measured at FVTOCI, income by way of interest and dividend, provision for impairment 
and exchange difference, if any, (on debt instrument) are recognised in profit or loss and changes in fair value (other 
than on account of above income or expense) are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other 
equity. On disposal of debt instruments at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in other equity 
is reclassified to profit or loss. In case of equity instruments at FVTOCI, such cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to 
profit or loss on disposal of investments.

C.  A financial asset is primarily derecognised when:

1. 

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or

2. 

the company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay 
the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and (a) 
the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the company has neither 
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of 
derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in Profit or Loss.

D. 

Impairment of financial assets: The company recognises impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss 
model, which involves use of a provision matrix constructed on the basis of historical credit loss experience as permitted 
under Ind AS 109. Impairment loss on investments is recognised when the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable 
amount. 

(ii) 

Financial liabilities:

A. 

Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at FVTPL 
are subsequently measured at fair value. Financial guarantee contracts are subsequently measured at the amount of 
impairment loss allowance or the amount recognised at inception net of cumulative amortisation, whichever is higher. 
All other financial liabilities including loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using Effective Interest Rate 
(EIR) method.

B.  A financial liability is derecognised when the related obligation expires or is discharged or cancelled.

(iii)  The Company designates certain hedging instruments, such as derivatives, embedded derivatives and in respect of foreign 
currency risk, certain non-derivatives, as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign 
operations. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted as cash flow hedges.

A. 

Fair value hedges: Changes in fair value of the designated portion of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are 
recognised in Profit or Loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that 
are attributable to the hedged risk.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it 
no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising 
from the hedged risk is amortised to Profit or Loss from that date.

B.  Cash flow hedges: In case of transaction related hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives 
that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated 
in equity as ‘hedging reserve’. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in Profit or 
Loss. Amounts previously recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity relating to the effective 
portion, are reclassified to Profit or Loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same head as 
the hedged item. The effective portion of the hedge is determined at the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the 
hedging instrument from inception of the hedge and the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item from 
the inception of the hedge and the remaining gain or loss on the hedging instrument is treated as ineffective portion.

In case of time period related hedges, the forward element and the spot element of a forward contract is separated 
and only the change in the value of the spot element of the forward contract is designated as the hedging instrument. 
Similarly, wherever applicable, the foreign currency basis spread is separated from the financial instrument and is 
excluded from the designation of that financial instrument as the hedging instrument in case of time period related 
hedges. The changes in the fair value of the forward element of the forward contract or the foreign currency basis 
spread of the financial instrument is accumulated in a separate component of equity as ‘cost of hedging reserve’. The 
changes in the fair value of such forward element or foreign currency basis spread are reclassified to Profit or Loss as a 
reclassification adjustment on a straight line basis over the period of the forward contract or the financial instrument.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it 
no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated 
in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in Profit 
or Loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised 
immediately in Profit or Loss.

(iv)  Compound financial instruments issued by the Company which can be converted into fixed number of equity shares at the 
option of the holders irrespective of changes in the fair value of the instrument are accounted by separately recognising the 
liability and the equity components. The liability component is initially recognised at the fair value of a comparable liability 
that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognised at the difference between 
the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. The directly 
attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and the equity components in proportion to their initial carrying 
amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of the compound financial instrument is measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not 
remeasured subsequently.

(n) 

Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:

(i) 

Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of weighted average cost or net 
realisable value. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products in which they will be 
used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.

(ii)  Manufacturing work-in-progress at lower of weighted average cost including related overheads or net realisable value. In 

some cases, manufacturing work-in-progress are 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.

(iii)  Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of weighted average cost or net 

realisable value. Cost includes related overheads and excise duty paid/payable on such goods.

(iv)  Completed property/work-in-progress (including land) in respect of property development activity at lower of specifically 

identifiable cost or net realisable value.

256

257

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

Assessment of net realisable value is made at each reporting period end and when the circumstances that previously caused 
inventories to be written-down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realisable value 
because of changed economic circumstances, the write-down, if any, in the past period is reversed to the extent of the original 
amount written-down so that the resultant carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realisable value.

(o)  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 subject to more than insignificant risk of 
change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.

(p)  Securities premium account

(i) 

Securities premium includes:

A. 

The difference between the face value of the equity shares and the consideration received in respect of shares issued.

B. 

The fair value of the stock options which are treated as expense, if any, in respect of shares allotted pursuant to Stock 
Options Scheme.

(ii)  The issue expenses of securities which qualify as equity instruments are written off against securities premium account.

(q)  Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets 
acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an 
adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are attributable to the 
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventoried 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 in Profit or Loss in the period in which they are 
incurred.

(r)  Share-based payment arrangements

The stock options granted to employees pursuant to the Company’s Stock Options Schemes, are measured at the fair value of the 
options at the grant date. The fair value of the options is treated as discount and accounted as employee compensation cost over 
the vesting period on a straight line basis. The amount recognised as expense in 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 within equity.

The fair value of the stock options granted to employees of the Company by the Company’s subsidiaries is accounted as employee 
compensation cost over the vesting period and where such fair value is not recovered by the subsidiaries, the same is treated as 
dividend declared by them.

(s)  Foreign currencies

(i) 

The functional currency and presentation currency of the company is Indian Rupee.

(ii)  Transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recorded on initial recognition using the 

exchange rate at the transaction date. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported at the 
closing spot rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated. 
Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet 
date at the closing spot rate are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise except for:

A. 

exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, 
which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those 
foreign currency borrowings; and

B. 

exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

(iii)  Financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different than Indian Rupees are translated into Indian 

Rupees as follows:

A. 

assets and liabilities for each Balance Sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Balance Sheet;

B. 

income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; and

C. 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in equity as ‘foreign 
currency translation reserve’ for subsequent reclassification to Profit or Loss on disposal of such foreign operations.

(t)  Accounting and reporting of information for Operating Segments

Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating 
decision making body in the Company to make decisions for performance assessment and resource allocation.

The reporting of segment information is the same as provided to the management for the purpose of the performance assessment 
and resource allocation to the segments.

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 
inter segment revenue.

ii) 

Expenses that are directly identifiable with/allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result.

iii)  Most of the centrally incurred costs are allocated to segments mainly on the basis of their respective expected segment 

revenue estimated at the beginning of the reported period.

iv) 

v) 

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

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

vi)  Segment result includes the interest expense incurred on interest bearing advances with corresponding credit included in 

“unallocable corporate income/(expenditure)(net).

vii)  Segment results have not been adjusted for the exceptional item attributable to the corresponding segment. The said 

exceptional item has been included in “unallocable corporate income/(expenditure)(net)”. The corresponding segment assets 
have been carried under the respective segments without adjusting the exceptional item.

viii)  Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable corporate assets 

and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole.

ix)  Segment non-cash expenses forming part of segment expenses includes the fair value of the employee stock options which is 

accounted as employee compensation cost [Note 1(r) supra] and is allocated to the segment.

x) 

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price which 
are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

(u)  Taxes on income

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

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s 
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit and quantified using the tax rates and 
laws enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date.

258

259

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences including the temporary differences associated 
with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the company is able to control the 
reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences to the extent that is probable that taxable profits 
will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is 
reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits 
will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets relating to unabsorbed depreciation/business losses/losses under the head “capital gains” are recognised and 
carried forward to the extent of available taxable temporary differences or where there is convincing other evidence that sufficient 
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which 
the Company expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Transaction or event which is recognised outside Profit or Loss, either in Other Comprehensive Income or in equity, is recorded 
along with the tax as applicable.

(v) 

Interests in joint operations

The Company as a joint operator recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation, its share in the assets/liabilities held/ 
incurred jointly with the other parties of the joint arrangement. Revenue is recognised for its share of revenue from the sale of 
output by the joint operation. Expenses are recognised for its share of expenses incurred jointly with other parties as part of the 
joint arrangement.

Interests in joint operations are included in the segments to which they relate.

(w)  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised only when:

(i) 

the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

(ii) 

it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

(iii)  a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money 
is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows. 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:

(i) 

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

(ii)  a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible. Contingent assets are disclosed where an 

inflow of economic benefits is probable.

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

Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received 
under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.

(x)  Commitments

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

(i) 

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

(ii)  uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;

(iii) 

funding related commitment to subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies; and

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] 
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)

(iv)  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.

(y)  Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally 
through a sale (rather than through continuing use) when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present 
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset (or disposal group) and the sale is highly 
probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less 
costs to sell.

(z)  Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from 
operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the profit before tax excluding exceptional items for the effects of:

(i) 

changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;

(ii)  non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses; and

(iii)  all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flows exclude items which are not available 
for general use as at the date of Balance Sheet.

(aa)  Key sources of estimation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS 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. The estimates and 
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates include useful lives of property, plant 
and equipment & iintangible assets, allowance for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit 
plans, expected cost of completion of contracts, provision for rectification costs, fair value measurement etc. Difference, if any, 
between the actual results and estimates is recognised in the period in which the results are known.

(ab) Business Combination

Common control business combination where the Company is transferee is accounted using the pooling of interest method. Assets 
and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts and no new asset or liability is recognised. Identity 
of reserves of the transferor company is preserved by reflecting them in the same form in the Company’s financial statements in 
which they appeared in the financial statement of the transferor company. The excess between the amount of consideration paid 
over the share capital of the transferor company is recognised as a negative amount and the same is disclosed as capital reserve on 
business combination.

The information in the financial statements of the prior period is restated from the date of business combination in case the 
business combination is approved by statutory authority in the subsequent period.

(previous year: R 60.35 crore) net of recoveries of R 0.79 crore (previous year: R 1.42 crore) from its group companies 
towards the stock options granted to deputed employees, pursuant to the employee stock option schemes (Note 34). 
The entire amount pertains to equity-settled employee share-based payment plans.

R 76.12 crore (previous year: R 117.36 crore) for which the options have been vested to employees as at March 31, 2018.

(i)  Capital management:

The Company continues its policy of a conservative capital structure which has ensured that it retains the highest credit rating 
even amidst an adverse economic environment. Low gearing levels also equip the Company with the ability to navigate business 
stresses on one hand and raise growth capital on the other. This policy also provides flexibility of fund raising options for future, 
which is especially important in times of global economic volatility. The gross debt equity ratio is 0.21:1 as at March 31, 2018 
(as at March 31, 2017 0.23:1).

(j)   During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company paid the final dividend of R 14 per equity share for the year ended 

March 31, 2017 amounting to R 1960.76 crore and dividend distribution tax of R 317.93 crore.

(k)   On May 28, 2018, the Board of Directors has recommended the final dividend of R 16 per equity share for the year ended 

March 31, 2018 subject to approval from shareholders. On approval, the total dividend payment based on number of shares 
outstanding as at March 31, 2018 is expected to be R 2242.19 crore and the payment of dividend distribution tax is expected 
to be R 357.60 crore.

The Company regularly reviews its foreign exchange forward and option positions and interest rate swaps, both on a standalone 
basis and in conjunction with its underlying foreign currency and interest rate related exposures. The Company follows cash flow 
hedge accounting for Highly Probable Forecasted Exposures (HPFE) hence the movement in mark to market (MTM) of the hedge 
contracts undertaken for such exposures is likely to be offset by contra movements in the underlying exposures values. However, 
till the point of time that the HPFE becomes an on-Balance Sheet exposure, the changes in MTM of the hedge contracts will impact 
the Balance Sheet of the Company. Further, given the effective horizons of the Company’s risk management activities which 
coincide with the durations of the projects under execution and could extend across 3-4 years and the business uncertainties 
associated with the timing and estimation of the project exposures, the recognition of the gains and losses related to these 
instruments may not always coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, 
therefore, may affect the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Hence, the Company monitors the potential risk 
arising out of the market factors like exchange rates, interest rates, price of traded investment products etc., on a regular basis. For 
on-Balance Sheet exposures, the Company monitors the risks on net unhedged exposures.

NOTE [44] (contd.)

(i) 

Foreign exchange rate risk:

In general, the Company is a net receiver of foreign currency. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates and in particular a 
strengthening of the Indian Rupee may negatively affect the Company’s net sales and gross margins as expressed in Indian 
Rupees. There is a risk that the Company will have to adjust local currency product pricing due to competitive pressures when 
there have been significant volatility in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial institutions to protect against 
foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, certain firmly committed transactions, forecasted 
future cash flows and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has entered and may enter in future, 
into non-designated foreign currency contracts to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its 
foreign-denominated debt issuances. The Company’s practice is to hedge a portion of its material foreign exchange exposures 
with tenors in line with the project/business life cycle, however, the Company may choose not to hedge certain foreign 
exchange exposures for a variety of reasons.

The net exposure to foreign currency risk (based on notional amount) in respect of recognised financial assets, recognised 
financial liabilities and derivatives is as follows:

To provide a meaningful assessment of the foreign currency risk associated with the Company’s foreign currency derivative 
positions against off Balance Sheet exposures and unhedged portion of on-Balance Sheet financial assets and liabilities, 
the Company uses a multi-currency correlated value-at-risk (“VAR”) model. The VAR model uses a Monte Carlo simulation 
to generate thousands of random market price paths for foreign currencies against Indian rupee taking into account the 
correlations between them. The VAR is the expected loss in value of the exposures due to overnight movement in spot 
exchange rates, at 95% confidence interval. The VAR model is not intended to represent actual losses but is used as a risk 
estimation tool. The model assumes normal market conditions and is a historical best fit model. Because the Company uses 
foreign currency instruments for hedging purposes, the loss in fair value incurred on those instruments are generally offset by 
increases in the fair value of the underlying exposures for on-Balance Sheet exposures. The overnight VAR for the Company at 
95% confidence level is R 39.80 crore as at March 31, 2018 and R 59.80 crore as at March 31, 2017.

Actual future gains and losses associated with the Company’s investment portfolio and derivative positions may differ 
materially from the sensitivity analysis performed as at March 31, 2018 due to the inherent limitations associated with 
predicting the timing and amount of changes in foreign currency exchanges rates and the Company’s actual exposures and 
position.

(ii) 

Interest rate risk:
The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s outstanding floating rate debt. While 
most of the Company’s outstanding debt in local currency is on fixed rate basis and hence not subject to interest rate risk. 
A major portion of foreign currency debt is linked to international interest rate benchmarks like LIBOR. The Company also 
hedges a portion of these risks by way of derivatives instruments like Interest rate swaps and currency swaps.

The exposure of the Company’s borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and by having access to funding 
through an adequate amount of committed credit lines. Given the need to fund diverse businesses, the Company maintains 
flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines to meet obligations when due. Management regularly 
monitors the position of cash and cash equivalents vis-à-vis projections. Assessment of maturity profiles of financial assets and 
financial liabilities including debt financing plans and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing 
the liquidity position.

The Company’s investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting the Company’s liquidity 
requirements. The Company uses a combination of internal and external management to execute its investment strategy and 
achieve its investment objectives. The Company typically invests in money market funds, large debt funds, government of india 
securities, equity funds and other highly rated securities under a limits framework which governs the credit exposure to any one 
issuer as defined in its investment policy. The policy requires investments generally to be investment grade, with the primary 
objective of minimising the potential risk of principal loss. To provide a meaningful assessment of the price risk associated with the 
Company’s investment portfolio, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of change in prices of the 
securities that would have on the value of the investment portfolio assuming a 0.5% move in debt funds and debt securities and 
a 5% movement in the NAV of the equity funds. Based on the investment position a hypothetical 0.5% change in the fair market 
value of debt securities would result in a value change of +/- R 14.04 crore as at March 31, 2018 and +/- R 15.98 crore as at March 
31, 2017. 5% change in the equity funds NAV would result in a value change of +/- R 16.24 crore as at March 31, 2018 and 
+/- R 17.83 crore as at March 31, 2017. The investments in money market funds are for the purpose of liquidity management only 
and are held only overnight and hence not subject to any material price risk.

(c)  Credit Risk Management:

The Company’s customer profile include public sector enterprises, state owned companies and large private corporates. 
Accordingly, the Company’s customer credit risk is low. The Company’s average project execution cycle is around 24 to 36 months. 
General payment terms include mobilisation advance, monthly progress payments with a credit period ranging from 45 to 90 days 
and certain retention money to be released at the end of the project. In some cases retentions are substituted with bank/corporate 
guarantees. The Company has a detailed review mechanism of overdue customer receivables at various levels within organisation 
to ensure proper attention and focus for realisation.

The company is making provisions on trade receivables based on Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model. The reconciliation of ECL 
is as follows:

* Basis used to determine interest income on plan assets:
The Trust formed by the Company manages the investments of provident funds and gratuity fund. Interest income on plan 
assets is determined by multiplying the fair value of the plan assets by the discount rate stated in (g)(i) below both determined 
at the start of the annual reporting period.
The Company expects to fund R 45.05 crore (previous year: R 6.18 crore) towards its gratuity plan and R 67.68 crore (previous 
year: R 73.21 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2018-19.

NOTE [50]
Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits” (contd.)

h)  Characteristics of defined benefit plans and associated risks:

1.  Gratuity plan:

The Company operates gratuity plan through a trust wherein every employee is entitled to the benefit equivalent 
to fifteen days last salary 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 favorable as compared to the obligation under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The defined benefit plan for 
gratuity of the Company is administered by separate gratuity funds that are legally separate from the Company. The 
trustees nominated by the Company are responsible for the administration of the plan. There are no minimum funding 
requirements of these plans. The funding of these plans are based on gratuity fund’s actuarial measurement framework 
set out in the funding policies of the plan. These actuarial measurements are similar compared to the assumptions set 
out in (g) supra. Employees do not contribute to any of these plans.

Unfunded gratuity represents a small part of gratuity plan which is not material. Further, it includes amounts payable in 
respect of the Company’s foreign operations which result in gratuity payable to employees engaged as per the local laws 
of country of operation.

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. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.

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. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.

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 Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan mandates contribution by employer 
at a fixed percentage of employee’s salary. Employees also contribute to the plan at a fixed percentage of their salary 
as a minimum contribution and additional sums at their discretion. The plan guarantees interest at the rate notified by 
Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. 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.

All the above defined benefit plans expose the Company to general actuarial risks such as interest rate risk and market 
(investment) risk.

Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” on new Ind AS that has been issued 
but is not effective as of the closing day of the reporting period:

A. 

Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” in respect of accounting periods 
commencing on or after April 1, 2018, superseding Ind AS 11 “Construction Contracts” and Ind AS 18 “Revenue”.

The Company’s current revenue recognition policy is broadly aligned to the principles enunciated in Ind AS 115 and does not 
require any material change except for realty business. In terms of Ind AS 115, revenue of realty business will be recognised at the 
time of delivery of units to the customers as compared to revenue recognition based on percentage completion method currently 
followed as per the Guidance note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The management is in the process of 
implementing Ind AS 115 and does not expect any material impact on the Company’s financial position as at March 31, 2018 and 
on the financial results of the Company in the first year of implementation viz. financial year commencing on April 1, 2018 except 
as above.

B. 

Ind AS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”

On March 28, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 
and inserted Appendix B, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration in Ind AS 21.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF  
LARSEN & TOUBRO LIMITED

Report on the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated Ind AS financial statements of LARSEN & TOUBRO LIMITED (hereinafter referred to as 
the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as the “Group”), which includes Group’s share of 
profit/ loss in its associates and its joint ventures and which also includes 31 joint operations of the Group accounted on a proportionate 
basis, comprising the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2018, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including other 
comprehensive income), the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, for the year 
then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the 
consolidated Ind AS financial statements”).

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

The Parent’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements in terms of the 
requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) that give a true and fair view of the consolidated 
financial position, consolidated financial performance (including other comprehensive income), consolidated statement of cash flows 
and the consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group including its joint operations, associates and joint ventures in 
accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian 
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Board 
of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint operations, associates and joint ventures are responsible for the 
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group, 
and of its joint operations, associates and joint ventures for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and 
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, 
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and 
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements 
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the 
purpose of preparation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements by the Directors of the Parent, as aforesaid.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. In conducting 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 
consolidated Ind AS financial statements are free from material misstatement.

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

ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 
(Referred to in paragraph “f” under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date) 

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the 
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 
2018, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of LARSEN & TOUBRO LIMITED (hereinafter referred 
to as “Parent”) and its subsidiary companies (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”), which includes internal financial controls over 
financial reporting of its joint operations, its joint ventures and its associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India, as 
of that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its joint operations, its joint ventures and its associate 
companies, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based 
on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective Companies considering the essential components 
of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) 
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and 
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of 
its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of 
frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, 
as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Parent, its subsidiary 
companies, its joint operations, its joint ventures and its associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India, based on our 
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under 
Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the 
Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated 
effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over 
financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining 
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing 
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend 
on the auditors’ judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by other auditors of the subsidiary companies, 
joint operations, joint ventures and associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India, in terms of their reports referred 
to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial 
controls system over financial reporting of the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its joint operations, its joint ventures and its associate 
companies, which are companies incorporated in India.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the 
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being 
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a 
material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or 
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that 

350

the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of 
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the 
reports of other auditors referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its joint operations, 
its joint ventures and its associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate 
internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating 
effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective companies 
considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. 

Other Matters

Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls 
over financial reporting in so far as it relates to 35 subsidiary companies, 1 joint operation, 12 joint venture companies and 2 associate 
companies, which are companies incorporated in India, is based solely on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies 
incorporated in India. 

Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls 
over financial reporting in so far as it relates to 5 subsidiary companies, and 2 associate companies, which are companies incorporated 
in India, whose financial information is unaudited, and is based solely on the Management’s representations provided to us and our 
opinion on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Group is not 
affected as the financial information of such entities is not material to the Group. 

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of other 
auditors and the financial information certified by the Management.

NOTE [1] 

Significant Accounting Policies

(a)  Statement of compliance

The Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the 
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and amendments 
thereof issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs in exercise of the powers conferred by section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. 
In addition, the guidance notes/announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also applied 
except where compliance with other statutory promulgations require a different treatment. These financials statements have been 
approved for issue by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 28, 2018.

(b)  Basis of accounting

The Group maintains its accounts on accrual basis following historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that 
are measured at fair value in accordance with Ind AS.

Fair value measurements are categorised as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are 
observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

• 

• 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at 
measurement date

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
directly or indirectly; and

• 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets or liabilities

Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair 
value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.

(c)  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 Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements 
of Ind AS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”. 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 the financial statements 
along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and 
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended.

Amounts in the financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees in crore [1 crore = 10 million] rounded off to two decimal 
places as permitted by Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Per share data are presented in Indian Rupees to two decimal 
places.

(d)  Basis of consolidation

(i) 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. For 
this purpose, an entity which is, directly or indirectly, controlled by the Parent Company is treated as subsidiary. The Parent 
Company together with its subsidiaries constitute the Group. Control exists when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, 
has power over the investee, is exposed to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its 
power to affect its returns.

(ii)  Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, obtains control over the subsidiary and 
ceases when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, loses control of the subsidiary. Income and expenses of a subsidiary 
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss from the date the 
Parent Company, directly or indirectly, gains control until the date when the Parent Company, directly or indirectly, ceases to 
control the subsidiary.

(iii)  The consolidated financial statements of the Group combines financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries 
line-by-line by adding together the like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. All intra-group assets, liabilities, 
income, expenses and unrealised profits/losses on intra-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The accounting 
policies of subsidiaries have been harmonised to ensure the consistency with the policies adopted by the Parent Company.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

The consolidated financial statements have been presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as Parent Company’s 
standalone financial statements.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Parent Company and 
to the non-controlling interests and have been shown separately in the financial statements.

(iv)  Non-controlling interest represents that part of the total comprehensive income and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to 

interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company.

(v)  The gains/losses in respect of part divestment/dilution of stake in subsidiary companies not resulting in ceding of control, are 

recognised directly in other equity attributable to the owners of the Parent Company.

(vi)  The gains/losses in respect of divestment of stake resulting in ceding of control in subsidiary companies are recognised in 

the Statement of Profit and Loss. The investment representing the interest retained in a former subsidiary, if any, is initially 
recognised at its fair value with the corresponding effect recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as on the date the 
control is ceded. Such retained interest is subsequently accounted as an associate or a joint venture or a financial asset.

(e) 

Investments in joint venture and associates

When the Group has with other parties joint control of the arrangement and rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement, 
it recognises its interest as joint venture. Joint control exists when the decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous 
consent of the parties sharing the control. When the Group has significant influence over the other entity, it recognises such 
interests as associates. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity 
but is not control or joint control over the entity.

The results, assets and liabilities of joint venture and associates are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using 
equity method of accounting after making necessary adjustments to achieve uniformity in application of accounting policies, 
wherever applicable. An investment in associate or joint venture is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise 
the Group’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture or associate. Gain or loss in respect 
of changes in other equity of joint ventures or associates resulting in dilution of stake in the joint ventures and associates is 
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On acquisition of investment in a joint venture or associate, any excess of cost 
of investment over the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the joint venture, is recognised as goodwill and is included in 
the carrying value of the investment in the joint venture and associate. The excess of fair value of assets and liabilities over the 
investment is recognised directly in equity as capital reserve. The unrealised profits/losses on transactions with joint ventures are 
eliminated by reducing the carrying amount of investment.

The carrying amount of investment in joint ventures and associates is reduced to recognise impairment, if any, when there is 
objective evidence of impairment.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture 
(which includes any long term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate or joint 
venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the 
Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

(f) 

Interests in joint operations

When the Group has joint control of the arrangement based on contractually determined right to the assets and obligations for 
liabilities, it recognises such interests as joint operations. Joint control exists when the decisions about the relevant activities require 
unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control. In respect of its interests in joint operations, the Group recognises its share 
in assets, liabilities, income and expenses line-by-line in the standalone financial statements of the entity which is party to such 
joint arrangement which then becomes part of the consolidated financial statements of the Group when the financial statements 
of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are combined for consolidation. Interests in joint operations are included in the 
segments to which they relate.

(g)  Business Combination/Goodwill on consolidation

The Group accounts for its business combinations under acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition related costs are recognised 
in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the 
condition for recognition are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

Goodwill on consolidation as on the date of transition i.e. April 1, 2015 represents the excess of cost of acquisition at each point 
of time of making the investment in the subsidiary over the Group’s share in the net worth of a subsidiary. 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 excess of the Group’s share in the net worth of a subsidiary over the cost of acquisition 
at each point of time of making the investment in the subsidiary.

Goodwill on consolidation arising on acquisitions on or after the date of transition represents the excess of(a) consideration 
paid for acquiring control and (b) acquisition date fair value of previously held ownership interest, if any, in a subsidiary over the 
Group’s share in the fair value of the net assets (including identifiable intangibles) of the subsidiary as on the date of acquisition of 
control.

Goodwill on consolidation is allocated to cash generating units or group of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from 
the synergies of the acquisition.

Goodwill arising on consolidation is not amortised, however, it is tested for impairment annually. In the event of cessation of 
operations of a subsidiary, the unimpaired goodwill is written off fully.

Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under common control are accounted at historical 
cost. The difference between any consideration given and the aggregate historical carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the 
acquired entity are recorded in shareholders’ equity.

(h)  Operating cycle for current and non-current classification

Operating cycle for the business activities of the Group 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.

(i)  Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised based on nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and recovered with reasonable 
certainty. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is reduced for estimated customer 
returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

(i) 

Revenue from operations

Revenue for the periods upto June 30, 2017 includes excise duty collected from customers. Revenue from July 1, 2017 
onwards is exclusive of Goods and Service tax (GST) which subsumed excise duty. Revenue also includes adjustments made 
towards liquidated damages and variation wherever applicable. Escalation and other claims, which are not ascertainable/
acknowledged by customers are not taken into account.

A. 

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:

1. 

significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer;

2. 

the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor 
effective control over the good sold;

3. 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

4. 

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

5. 

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

B. 

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

1.  Cost plus contracts: Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognised by reference to the recoverable costs incurred 

during the period plus the margin as agreed with the customer.

2. 

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 subject to the condition that it is probable that such cost will

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

be recoverable. 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.

The estimated outcome of a contract is considered reliable when all the following conditions are satisfied:

i. 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

ii. 

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the Group;

iii. 

the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

iv. 

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the contract can be measured reliably

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

For contracts where progress billing exceeds the aggregate of contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits (or 
recognised losses as the case may be), the surplus is shown as the amount due to customers and in case the aggregate 
of contract cost incurred to date plus recognised profits (or recognised losses as the case may be) exceeds the progress 
billing, the surplus is shown as due from customers. Amounts received before the related work is performed are 
disclosed in the consolidated Balance Sheet, as a liability towards advance received. Amount billed for work performed 
but yet to be paid by the customer are disclosed in the consolidated Balance Sheet as trade receivables. The amount of 
retention money held by the customers is disclosed as part of other current assets and is reclassified as trade receivables 
when it becomes due for payment.

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

arrangement [being joint operations, in terms of Ind AS 111 “Joint Arrangements”], is recognised on the same basis as 
adopted in respect of contracts independently executed by the Group.

D.  Revenue from property development activities 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 in the nature of a construction contract is recognised based on the 
‘Percentage of completion method’ (POC) when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably upon fulfillment 
of all the following conditions:

1. 

all critical approvals necessary for commencement of the project have been obtained;

2. 

contract costs for work performed (excluding cost of land/developmental rights and borrowing cost) constitute at 
least 25% of the estimated total contract costs representing a reasonable level of development;

3. 

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

4. 

at least 10% of the total revenue as per the agreements of sale or any other legally enforceable documents is 
realised at the reporting date in respect of each of the contracts and the parties to such contracts can be reasonably 
expected to comply with the contractual payment terms.

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 date to the total estimated cost of the 
project. For the purpose of computing percentage of construction, cost of land, developmental rights and borrowing 
costs are excluded.

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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

In the case of the developmental project business and the realty business, revenue includes profit on sale of investment 
properties or sale of stake in the subsidiary and/or joint venture companies as the sale/divestments are inherent in the 
business model.

E. 

Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering services is recognised when the outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably by reference 
to the stage of completion of the transaction. The outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably when all the 
following conditions are satisfied:

1. 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

2. 

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group;

3. 

the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

4. 

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably

Stage of completion is determined by the proportion of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs of 
the transaction. Unbilled revenue represents value of services performed in accordance with the contract terms but not 
billed.

In respect of information technology (IT) business and technology services business, revenue from contracts awarded on 
time and material basis is recognised when services are rendered and related costs are incurred. Revenue from fixed price 
contracts is recognised using the proportionate completion method.

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 the same basis as stated in (i) B above.

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 effective yield.

F. 

G. 

H.  Revenue on account of 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 fare/toll collections of such projects from users of facilities is 
accounted when the amount is due and recovery is certain. License fees for way-side amenities are accounted on accrual 
basis.

I. 

J. 

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

Income from investment management fees is recognised in accordance with the contractual terms and the SEBI 
regulations based on average Assets Under Management (AUM) of mutual fund schemes over the period of the 
agreement in terms of which services are performed. Portfolio management fees are recognised in accordance with the 
related contracts entered with the clients over the period of the agreement. Trusteeship fees are accounted on accrual 
basis.

K.  Revenue from port operation services is recognised on completion of respective services or as per terms agreed with the 

port operator, wherever applicable.

L. 

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

M.  Revenue from operation and maintenance services of power plant receivable under the Power Purchase Agreement is 

recognised on accrual basis.

N.  Other operational revenue:

1.  Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the qualifying costs, incurred 
by the Group, are recognised as other operational income in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in 
which such costs are incurred. Government grant receivable in the form duty credit scrips is recognised as other

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

operational income in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the application is made to the 
government authorities and to the extent there is no uncertainty towards its receipt.

2.  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.

(ii)  Other income

A. 

Interest income on investments and loans is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and the 
effective interest rate including interest on investments classified as fair value through profit or loss or fair value through 
other comprehensive income. Interest receivable on customer dues is recognised as income in the Statement of Profit 
and Loss on accrual basis provided there is no uncertainty towards its realisation.

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

C.  Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the 

economic benefits will flow to the group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

(j)  Exceptional items

An item of income or expense which by its size, type or incidence requires disclosure in order to improve an understanding of the 
performance of the Group is treated as an exceptional item and the same is disclosed in the notes to accounts.

(k)  Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

PPE is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of 
the item can be measured reliably. PPE is stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation 
and cumulative impairment, if any. PPE acquired on hire purchase basis are recognised at their cash values. Cost includes 
professional fees related to the acquisition of PPE and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the 
Group’s accounting policy.

Own manufactured PPE is capitalised at cost including an appropriate share of overheads. Administrative and other general 
overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to construction or acquisition of PPE or bringing the PPE to working condition 
are allocated and capitalised as a part of the cost of the PPE.

PPE not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work-in-progress”. (Also refer to 
policies on leases, borrowing costs, impairment of assets and foreign currency transactions below).

Depreciation is recognised using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the assets (other than freehold land and 
properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, 
or in case of assets where the useful life was determined by technical evaluation, over the useful life so determined. Depreciation 
method is reviewed at each financial year end to reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits 
embodied in the asset. The estimated useful life and residual values are also reviewed at each financial year end with the effect of 
any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is accounted on prospective basis.

Where cost of a part of the asset (“asset component”) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different 
from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is 
depreciated over its separate useful life.

Depreciation on additions to/deductions from, owned assets is calculated pro rata from the date it is ready for use. Extra shift 
depreciation is provided on a location basis.

Depreciation charge for impaired assets is adjusted in future periods in such a manner that the revised carrying amount of the 
asset is allocated over its remaining useful life.

Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term. Where there is reasonable 
certainty that the Group shall obtain ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, such assets are depreciated based on 
the useful life adopted by the Group for similar assets.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

NOTE [1] (contd.)

(l) 

Investment property

Properties (including those under construction) held to earn rentals and/or capital appreciation are classified as investment property 
and are measured and reported at cost, including transaction costs.

Depreciation is recognised using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the investment property less their residual 
values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, or in the case of assets where the useful life was 
determined by technical evaluation, over the useful life so determined. Depreciation method is reviewed at each financial year end 
to reflect the expected pattern of consumption of the future benefits embodied in the investment property. The estimated useful 
life and residual values are also reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/ 
residual value is accounted on prospective basis. Freehold land and properties under construction are not depreciated.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and 
no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of property is recognised in 
the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period.

(m)  Intangible assets

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 stated at original cost net of tax/duty 
credits availed, if any, less accumulated amortisation and cumulative impairment. 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.

Research and development expenditure on new products:

(i) 

Expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred

(ii)  Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

A. 

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

B. 

the Group has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

C. 

the Group has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

D. 

E. 

F. 

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

the Group has ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 
Development expenditure that does not meet the above criteria is expensed in the period in which it is incurred.

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

Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis over the estimated useful life. The method of amortisation and useful life are 
reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective 
basis. The estimated useful life for major categories of the intangible assets are as follows:

(i) 

specialised software: over a period of three to ten years;

(ii) 

technical know-how: over a period of three to seven years;

(iii)  development costs for new products: over a period of five years;

(iv)  customer contracts and relationships: over a period of the contract which generally is over seven to ten years;

(v) 

intangible assets with indefinite useful life that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses;

(vi) 

fare collection rights obtained in consideration for rendering construction services represent the right to collect fare during 
the concession period in respect of Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects undertaken by the Group. Fare collection rights are 

366

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

capitalised as intangible asset upon completion of the project at the cumulative construction costs including related margins. 
Till the completion of the project, the same is recognised as intangible assets under development. Fare collection rights are 
amortised using the straight line method over the period of concession; and

(vii)  exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred for potential mineral reserves is recognised and reported as part of 

“intangible assets under development” 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.

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

(n) 

Impairment of assets

As at the end of each accounting year, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE, investment property and intangible 
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the 
PPE, investment property and intangible assets are tested for impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill 
and the intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each year.

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

(i) 

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

(ii) 

in the case of a cash generating unit (the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash flows), at the 
higher of the cash generating unit’s net selling price and the value in use.

(The amount of 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. For this purpose, the discount rate (pre-tax) is determined based on the weighted 
average cost of capital of the Company suitably adjusted for risks specified to the estimated cash flows of the asset).

If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such deficit is 
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or cash 
generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For this purpose, the impairment loss recognised in respect of a cash 
generating unit is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to such cash generating unit and then to 
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets of the cash generating unit on a pro-rata basis.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit), except for allocated 
goodwill, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the 
carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss is recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in 
prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss (other than impairment loss allocated to goodwill) is recognised immediately in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss.

(o)  Employee benefits

(i) 

Short term employee benefits:

Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia and 
performance linked rewards falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term 
employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii)  Post-employment benefits:

A.  Defined contribution plans: The Group’s superannuation scheme, state governed provident fund scheme, employee 

state insurance scheme, social security contributions 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.

B.  Defined benefit plans: The employees’ gratuity fund schemes and employee provident fund schemes managed by board 

of trustees established by the Company, the post-retirement medical care plan and the Parent Company pension plan 
represent defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation under 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 using a discount rate based on the market 
yield on government securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the defined benefit 
obligations at the Balance Sheet date.

Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest 
on the net defined benefit liability or asset) and any change in the effect of asset ceiling (if applicable) is recognised in other 
comprehensive income and is reflected in retained earnings and the same is not eligible to be reclassified to profit or loss.

Defined benefit costs comprising current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on settlements are recognised 
in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefits expense. Interest cost implicit in defined benefit employee cost is 
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under finance cost. Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit plan 
are recognised when the settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense at the earlier of the plan amendment or 
curtailment and when the Group recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.

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.

(iii)  Long term employee benefits:

The obligation recognised in respect of long term benefits such as compensated absences, long service award etc. is 
measured at present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Group and is recognised in a similar 
manner as in the case of defined benefit plans vide (ii) B above.

Long term employee benefit costs comprising current service cost and gains or losses on curtailments and settlements, 
re-measurements including actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit 
expenses. Interest cost implicit in long term employee benefit cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under 
finance cost.

(iv)  Termination benefits:

Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised as expense when the 
company’s offer of the termination benefit is accepted or when the Group recognises the related restructuring costs 
whichever is earlier.

(p)  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. Power generation projects executed under long term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with state utilities that are in 
substance finance leases are classified accordingly.

(i) 

Finance leases:

Leases where the all the risks and rewards of ownership of the related assets are substantially transferred to the lessee are 
classified as finance leases.

A.  Assets taken under finance lease are capitalised at the commencement 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.

B.  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.

NOTE [1] (contd.)

(ii)  Operating leases:

The leases which are not classified as finance lease are operating leases.

A. 

Lease rentals on assets under operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis 
over the term of the relevant lease.

B.  Assets leased out under operating leases are continued to be shown under the respective class of assets. Rental income 

is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

(Also refer to policy on depreciation above)

(q)  Financial instruments

Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to a contract embodying the related 
financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction 
values and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are attributable to the 
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from, as the case may be, the fair value of such financial assets or liabilities on 
initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A financial asset and a financial liability is offset and presented on net basis in the balance sheet when there is a current legally 
enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and it is intended to either settle on net basis or to realise the asset and settle 
the liability simultaneously.

(i) 

Financial assets

A.  All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, 

depending on the classification of the financial assets as follows:

1. 

Investments in debt instruments that are designated as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - at fair value

2.  Other investments in debt instruments – at amortised cost, subject to following conditions:

• 

• 

The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash 
flows; and

The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

3.  Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other 

comprehensive income [FVTOCI] (unless the same are designated as fair value through profit or loss)

• 

• 

The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows 
and selling financial assets; and

The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

4.  Debt instruments at FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments, if any, and all changes are recognised in 

profit or loss.

5. 

Investments in equity instruments are classified as FVTPL, unless the related instruments are not held for trading 
and the Group irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in other 
comprehensive income.

6. 

The group has elected to measure the investments in associates and joint ventures held through unit trusts at 
FVTPL.

B. 

For financial assets that are measured at FVTOCI, income by way of interest and dividend, provision for impairment 
and exchange difference, if any, (on debt instrument) are recognised in profit or loss and changes in fair value (other 
than on account of above income or expense) are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

equity. On disposal of debt instruments at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in other equity 
is reclassified to profit or loss. In case of equity instruments at FVTOCI, such cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to 
profit or loss on disposal of investments.

C.  A financial asset is primarily derecognised when:

1. 

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or

2. 

the group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the 
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and a) the 
group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b) the group has neither transferred nor 
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of 
derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

D. 

Impairment of financial assets: The Group recognises impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss 
model which involves use of a provision matrix constructed on the basis of historical credit loss experience as permitted 
under Ind AS 109.

In respect of financial services business, the Group applies a separate model of the expected credit loss for recognising 
impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, lease receivables, trade 
receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset, and financial guarantees not designated 
as at FVTPL as follows:

• 

• 

Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the 
weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance 
with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the 
original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired 
financial assets). The Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument 
(for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.

The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected 
credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the 
credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures 
the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month 
expected credit losses are portion of the lifetime expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls 
that will result if default occurs within the 12 months weighted by the probability of default after the reporting 
date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.

•  When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, 
the Group uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument 
instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment, the Group compares 
the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default 
occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable 
information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk 
since initial recognition

(ii) 

Financial liabilities

A. 

Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at FVTPL 
are subsequently measured at fair value. Financial guarantee contracts are subsequently measured at the amount of 
impairment loss allowance or the amount recognised at inception net of cumulative amortisation, whichever is higher. 
All other financial liabilities including loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using Effective Interest Rate 
(EIR) method.

B.  A financial liability is derecognised when the related obligation expires or is discharged or cancelled.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

(iii)  The Group designates certain hedging instruments such as derivatives, embedded derivatives and in respect of foreign 

currency risk, certain non-derivatives as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of net investments in foreign 
operations. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted as cash flow hedges.

A. 

Fair value hedges: Changes in fair value of the designated portion of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are 
recognised in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that 
are attributable to the hedged risk. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, 
terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to the carrying 
amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to profit or loss from that date.

B.  Cash flow hedges: In case of transaction related hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives 

that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in 
equity as ‘hedging reserve’. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or 
loss. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity relating to the effective 
portion are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same head as 
the hedged item. The effective portion of the hedge is determined at the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the 
hedging instrument from inception of the hedge and the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item from 
the inception of the hedge and the remaining gain or loss on the hedging instrument is treated as ineffective portion.

 In case of time period related hedges, the forward element and the spot element of a forward contract is separated 
and only the change in the value of the spot element of the forward contract is designated as the hedging instrument. 
Similarly, wherever applicable, the foreign currency basis spread is separated from the financial instrument and is 
excluded from the designation of that financial instrument as the hedging instrument in case of time period related 
hedges. The changes in the fair value of the forward element of the forward contract or the foreign currency basis 
spread of the financial instrument is accumulated in a separate component of equity as ‘cost of hedging’. The 
changes in the fair value of such forward element or foreign currency basis spread are reclassified to profit or loss as a 
reclassification adjustment on a straight line basis over the period of the forward contract or the financial instrument.

 The cash flow hedges are allocated to the forecast transactions on gross exposure basis.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no 
longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity 
at that time remains in equity and is recognised in profit or loss when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in 
profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss.

(iv)  Compound financial instruments issued by the Group which can be converted into fixed number of equity shares at the 

option of the holders irrespective of changes in the fair value of the instrument are accounted by separately recognising the 
liability and the equity components. The liability component is initially recognised at the fair value of a comparable liability 
that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognised at the difference between 
the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. The directly 
attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and the equity components in proportion to their initial carrying 
amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of the compound financial instrument is measured at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured 
subsequently.

(r) 

Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:

(i) 

Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of weighted average cost or net 
realisable value. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products in which they will be 
used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.

(ii)  Manufacturing work-in-progress at lower of weighted average cost including related overheads or net realisable value. In 

some cases, manufacturing work-in-progress are 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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

(iii)  Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of weighted average cost or net 

realisable value. Cost includes related overheads and excise duty paid/payable on such goods.

(iv)  Completed property/work-in-progress (including land) in respect of property development activity at lower of specifically 

identifiable cost or net realisable value.

Assessment of net realisable value is made at each subsequent period end and when the circumstances that previously caused 
inventories to be written-down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realisable value 
because of changed economic circumstances, the write-down, if any, in the past period is reversed to the extent of the original 
amount written-down so that the resultant carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realisable value.

(s)  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 subject to more than insignificant risk of 
change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.

(t)  Securities premium account

(i) 

Securities premium includes:

A. 

The difference between the face value of the equity shares and the consideration received in respect of shares issued.

B. 

The fair value of the stock options which are treated as expense, if any, in respect of shares allotted pursuant to Stock 
Options Scheme

(ii)  The issue expenses of securities which qualify as equity instruments are written off against securities premium account

(u) 

 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets 
acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings, to the extent they are regarded as an 
adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are attributable to the 
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventoried 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 in profit or loss in the period in which they are 
incurred.

(v)  Share-based payment arrangements

The stock options granted to employees pursuant to the Group’s Stock Options Schemes, are measured at the fair value of the 
options at the grant date. The fair value of the options is treated as discount and accounted as employee compensation cost over 
the vesting period on a straight line basis. The amount recognised as expense in 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 within equity.

(w)  Foreign currencies

(i) 

The functional currency and presentation currency of the Group is Indian Rupee. Functional currency of the Group and foreign 
operations has been determined based on the primary economic environment in which the Group and its foreign operations 
operate considering the currency in which funds are generated, spent and retained.

(ii)  Transactions in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency are recorded on initial recognition using the exchange 

rate at the transaction date. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported at the closing spot 
rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange 
differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date at the 
closing spot rate are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise except for:

A. 

exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, 
which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those 
foreign currency borrowings;

372

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

B. 

exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and

C. 

exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is 
neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in foreign operation), which are 
recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on repayment of the 
monetary items.

(iii)  Financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different than Indian Rupees are translated into Indian 

Rupees as follows:

A. 

assets and liabilities for each Balance Sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Balance Sheet;

B. 

income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; and

C. 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as foreign 
currency translation reserve for subsequent reclassification to profit or loss on disposal of such foreign operations. The 
portion of foreign currency translation reserve attributed to non-controlling interest is reflected as part of non-controlling 
interest.

(x)  Accounting and reporting of information for Operating Segments

Operating segments are those components of the business whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating 
decision making body in the Group to make decisions for performance assessment and resource allocation. The reporting of 
segment information is the same as provided to the management for the purpose of the performance assessment and resource 
allocation to the segments.

Segment accounting policies are in line with the accounting policies of the Group. 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) Power Generation projects under Developmental Projects segment which are 
classified as assets given on finance lease, the interest expenses on borrowings are accounted as segment expenses.

(iii)  Most of the centrally incurred costs are allocated to segments mainly on the basis of their respective expected segment 

revenue estimated at the beginning of the reported period.

(iv) 

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

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

Group.

(vi)  Segment result includes the interest expense incurred on interest bearing advances with corresponding credit included in 

“unallocable corporate income”

(vii)  Segment results have not been adjusted for the exceptional item attributable to the corresponding segment. The said 

exceptional item has been included in “unallocable corporate income net of expenditure”. The corresponding segment assets 
have been carried under the respective segments without adjusting the exceptional item

(viii)  Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. In respect of (a) Financial 

Services segment, and (b) Power Generation projects under Developmental Projects segment which are classified as assets 
given on finance lease, segment liabilities include borrowings as the interest expenses on borrowings are accounted as 
segment expenses in respect of the segment and projects. Investment in joint ventures and associates identified with a 
particular segment are reported as part of the segment assets of those respective segments.

Unallocable corporate assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Group as a whole.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

(ix)  Segment non-cash expenses forming part of segment expenses includes the fair value of the employee stock options which is 

accounted as employee compensation cost [see Note 1(v) above] and is allocated to the segment.

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

are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis

(y)  Taxes on income

Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income (or on the basis of book profits wherever 
minimum alternate tax is applicable) and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act 1961, and 
based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.

Dividend distribution tax paid on profits distributed by the subsidiary company during the period is treated as an item of expense 
and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The dividend distribution tax paid in earlier years for which set off is available 
against the tax liability arising out of the dividend distribution by the Parent Company is recognised as an item of income in the 
period in which such set off is availed with corresponding effect in the equity to the extent of such set off. Both the recognition of 
expense and income as aforesaid are included in the current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Group’s financial 
statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit and quantified using the tax rates and laws 
enacted or substantively enacted as on the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences including the temporary differences associated 
with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the 
reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Dividend distribution tax payable on profits of subsidiary companies which are proposed to be distributed in foreseeable future, is 
recognised as deferred tax liability with corresponding effect in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which such profits 
are proposed to be so distributed. Such liability is reversed in the period in which the profits are distributed by the subsidiary 
company.

Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences to the extent that is probable that taxable profits 
will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is 
reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits 
will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets relating to unabsorbed depreciation/business losses/losses under the head “capital gains” are recognised and 
carried forward to the extent of available taxable temporary differences or where there is convincing other evidence that sufficient 
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets in respect of 
unutilised tax credits which mainly relate to minimum alternate tax are recognised to the extent it is probable of such unutilised tax 
credits will get realised.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which 
the Group expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Transaction or event which is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or in equity, is recorded along 
with the tax as applicable

(z)  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised only when:

(i) 

the Group entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; and

(ii) 

it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

(iii)  a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation

Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money 
is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows. 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.

374

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [1] (contd.)

Contingent liability is disclosed in case of:

(i) 

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

(ii)  a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible.

Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent 
assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received 
under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.

(aa)  Commitments

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

a) 

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

b) 

uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;

c) 

funding related commitment to 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

(ab) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally 
through a sale (rather than through continuing use) when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present 
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset (or disposal group) and the sale is highly 
probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less 
costs to sell.

(ac)  Statement of Cash Flows

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

i. 

ii. 

changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables, transactions of a non-cash nature;

non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses, and 
undistributed profits of associates and joint ventures; and

iii.  all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flows exclude items which are not available 
for general use as at the date of Balance Sheet.

(ad) Key sources of estimation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires that the management of the Group 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. The estimates and 
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates include useful lives of property, plant 
and equipment & intangible assets, allowance for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respect of retirement benefit 
plans, expected cost of completion of contracts, provision for rectification costs, fair value measurement etc. Difference, if any, 
between the actual results and estimates is recognised in the period in which the results are known.

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 interest income on plan assets: 
The Trust formed by the Parent Company and a few subsidiaries manage the investments of provident funds and gratuity 
fund. Interest income on plan assets is determined by multiplying the fair value of the plan assets by the discount rate 
stated in (vii) below both determined at the start of the annual reporting period.

The Group expects to fund R 93.63 crore (previous year: R 37.48 crore) towards its gratuity plan and R 122.04 crore 
(previous year: R 140.68 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2018-19.

 (D)  Attrition Rate:

(a)  For post-retirement medical benefit plan & pension plan, the attrition rate varies from 1% to 12% (previous year: 

2% to 8%) for various age groups.

(b)  For gratuity plan the attrition rate varies from 1% to 25% (previous year: 1% to 6%) for various age groups.

(E)  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.

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

(G)  The obligation of the Group 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)  A one percentage point change in actuarial assumptions would have the following effects on defined benefit obligation:

(viii)  Characteristics of defined benefit plans and associated risks:

(A)  Gratuity plan:

The Parent 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 The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

The defined benefit plans for gratuity of the Parent Company and material domestic subsidiary companies are 
administered by separate gratuity funds that is legally separate from the Parent Company and the material domestic 
subsidiary companies. The trustees nominated by the group are responsible for the administration of the plan. There 
are no minimum funding requirements of these plans. The funding of these plans is based on gratuity fund’s actuarial 
measurement framework set out in the funding policies of the plan. These actuarial measurements are similar compared 
to the assumptions set out in (vii) supra. An insignificant portion of the gratuity plan of the group attributable to 
subsidiary companies is administered by the respective subsidiary companies and is funded through insurer managed 
funds. A part of the gratuity plan is unfunded and managed within the group. Further, it also includes amounts payable 
in respect of the Group’s foreign operations which result in gratuity payable to employees engaged as per the local laws 
of country of operation. Employees do not contribute to any of these plans.

(B)  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. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [45] (contd.)

(C)  Pension plan:

In addition to contribution to state-managed pension plan (EPS scheme), the Group 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. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.

(D)  Trust managed provident fund plan:

The Parent Company and a few subsidiaries manage provident fund plan through a provident fund trust for its 
employees which is permitted under The Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan 
mandates contribution by employer at a fixed percentage of employee’s salary. Employees also contribute to the plan at 
a fixed percentage of their salary as a minimum contribution and additional sums at their discretion. The plan 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.

All the above defined benefit plans expose the Group to general actuarial risks such as interest rate risk and market 
(investment) risk.

(c)  Revenue contributed by any single customer in any of the operating segments, whether reportable or otherwise, does not exceed

NOTE [46] (contd.)

(e)  Segment reporting: basis of identifying operating segments, reportable segments and definition of each reportable segment:

(i) 

Basis of identifying Operating segments:

Operating segments are identified as those components of the groups (a) that engage in business activities to earn revenues 
and incur expenses (including transactions with any of the group’s other components); (b) whose operating results are 
regularly reviewed by the Group’s Corporate Executive Management to make decisions about resource allocation and 
performance assessment; and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.

The group has eight reportable segments as described under “segment composition” below which are the group’s 
independent businesses. The nature of products and services offered by these businesses are different and are managed 
separately given the different sets of technology and competency requirements. In arriving at the reportable segment, the 
six operating segments have been aggregated and reported as “infrastructure segment” as these operating segments have 
similar economic characteristics in terms of long term average gross margins, nature of the products and services, type of 
customers, methods used to distribute the products and services and the nature of regulatory environment applicable to 
them.

(ii)  Reportable segments

An operating segment is classified as Reportable segment if reported revenue (including inter-segment revenue) or absolute 
amount of result or assets exceed 10% or more of the combined total of all the operating segments.

(iii)  Performance of a segment is measured based on segment profit (before interest and tax), as included in the internal 

management reports that are reviewed by the Group’s Corporate Executive Management. The performance of financial 
services segment and finance lease activities of power development segment are measured based on segment profit (before 
tax) after deducting the interest expense.

The Group regularly reviews its foreign exchange forward and option positions and interest rate swaps, both on a standalone 
basis and in conjunction with its underlying foreign currency and interest rate related exposures. The Group follows cash flow 
hedge accounting for Highly Probable Forecasted Exposures (HPFE) hence the movement in mark to market (MTM) of the hedge 
contracts undertaken for such exposures is likely to be offset by contra movements in the underlying exposures values. However, 
till the point of time the HPFE becomes an on balance sheet exposure, the changes in MTM of the hedge contracts will impact the 
Balance Sheet of the Group. Further, given the effective horizons of the Group’s risk management activities which coincide with 
the durations of the projects under execution and could extend across 3-4 years and the business uncertainties associated with 
the timing and estimation of the project exposures, the recognition of the gains and losses related to these instruments may not 

441

 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)

NOTE [56] (contd.)

always coincide with the timing of gains and losses related to the underlying economic exposures and, therefore, may affect the 
Group’s financial condition and operating results. Hence, the Group monitors the potential risk arising out of the market factors 
like exchange rates, interest rates, price of traded investment products etc. on a regular basis. For on balance sheet exposures, the 
Group monitors the risks on net unhedged exposures.

(i) 

Foreign exchange rate risk:

In general, the Group is a net receiver of foreign currency. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a 
strengthening of the Indian Rupee, will negatively affect the Group’s net sales and gross margins as expressed in Indian 
Rupee. There is a risk that the Group may have to adjust local currency product pricing due to competitive pressures when 
there have been significant volatility in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Group may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial institutions to protect against foreign 
exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, certain firmly committed transactions, forecasted future 
cash flows and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the Group has entered, and may enter in the future, into 
non-designated foreign currency contracts to partially offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on its foreign 
denominated debt issuances. The Group’s practice is to hedge a portion of its material net foreign exchange exposures with 
tenors in line with the project/business life cycle. However, the Group may choose not to hedge certain foreign exchange 
exposures for a variety of reasons.

The net exposure to foreign currency risk (based on notional amount) in respect of recognised financial assets and recognised 
financial liabilities and derivatives is as follows:

To provide a meaningful assessment of the foreign currency risk associated with the Group’s foreign currency derivative 
positions against off-balance sheet exposures and unhedged portion of on-Balance Sheet financial assets and liabilities, 
the Group uses a multi-currency correlated value-at-risk (“VAR”) model. The VAR model uses a Monte Carlo simulation 
to generate thousands of random market price paths for foreign currencies against Indian Rupee taking into account the 
correlations between them. The VAR is the expected loss in value of the exposures due to overnight movement in spot 
exchange rates, at 95% confidence interval. The VAR model is not intended to represent actual losses but is used as a risk 
estimation tool. The model assumes normal market conditions and is a historical best fit model. Because the Group uses 
foreign currency instruments for hedging purposes, the loss in fair value incurred on those instruments are generally offset 
by increase in the fair value of the underlying exposures for on-Balance Sheet exposures. The overnight VAR for the Group at 
95% confidence level is R 64.58 crore as at March 31, 2018 and R 75.07 crore as at March 31, 2017.

Actual future gains and losses associated with the Group’s investment portfolio and derivative positions may differ materially 
from the sensitivity analysis performed as at March 31, 2018 due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the 
timing and amount of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the Group’s actual exposures and position.

(ii) 

Interest rate risk:

The Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s outstanding floating rate debt and lending. 
The Group’s outstanding debt in local currency is a combination of fixed rate and floating rate. For the portion of local 
currency debt on fixed rate basis, there is no interest rate risk. For the portion of local currency debt on floating rate basis, 
there is a natural hedge with receivables in respect of financial services business. There is a portion of debt that is linked 
to international interest rate benchmarks like LIBOR. The Group also hedges a portion of these risks by way of derivatives 
instruments like interest rate swaps and currency swaps. 

The exposure of the Group’s borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and by having access to funding through 
an adequate amount of committed credit lines. Given the need to fund diverse businesses, the Group maintains flexibility in 
funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines to meet obligations when due. Management regularly monitors 
the position of cash and cash equivalents vis-à-vis projections. Assessment of maturity profiles of financial assets and financial 
liabilities including debt financing plans and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the 
liquidity position.

The Group’s investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital and supporting the Group’s liquidity 
requirements. The Group uses a combination of internal and external management to execute its investment strategy and achieve 
its investment objectives. The Group typically invests in money market funds, large debt funds, Government of India securities, 
equity and equity marketable securities and other highly rated securities under a limits framework which governs the credit 
exposure to any one issuer as defined in its investment policy. The policy requires investments generally to be investment grade, 
with the primary objective of minimising the potential risk of principal loss. To provide a meaningful assessment of the price risk 
associated with the Group’s investment portfolio, the Group performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of change in 
prices of the securities that would have on the value of the investment portfolio assuming a 0.50% movement in debt funds and 
debt securities and a 5% movement in the NAV of the equity and equity marketable securities. Based on the investment position 
a hypothetical 0.50% change in the fair market value of debt securities would result in a value change of +/- R 24.17 crore as at 
March 31, 2018 and +/- R 33.07 crore as at March 31, 2017. A 5% change in the equity funds NAV would result in a value change 
of +/- R 17.19 crore as at March 31, 2018 and +/- R 19.39 crore as at March 31, 2017 respectively. The investments in money 
market funds are for the purpose of liquidity management only and are held only overnight and hence not subject to any material 
price risk.

(c)  Credit risk management:

(i) 

Financial service business:
Financial services business has a risk management framework that monitors and ensures that the business lines operate within 
the defined risk appetite and risk tolerance levels as defined by the senior management. Risk Management function is closely

involved in management and control of credit risk, portfolio monitoring, market risks including liquidity risk and operational 
risks. The credit risk function independently evaluates proposals based on well-established sector specific internal frameworks, 
in order to identify, mitigate and allocate risks as well as to enable risk-based pricing of assets. Regulatory and process risks 
are identified, mitigated and managed by a separate Group. Risk management policies are made under the guidance of Risk 
Management Committee and are approved by Board of Directors.”

(ii)  Other than financial service business:

The Group’s customer profile include public sector enterprises, state owned companies and large private corporates. 
Accordingly, the Group’s customer credit risk is low. The Group’s average project execution cycle is around 24 to 36 months. 
General payment terms include mobilisation advance, monthly progress payments with a credit period ranging from 45 to 90 
days and certain retention money to be released at the end of the project. In some cases retentions are substituted with bank/
corporate guarantees. The Group has a detailed review mechanism of overdue customer receivables at various levels within 
organisation to ensure proper attention and focus for realization.

Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” on new Ind AS that has been issued 
but is not effective as of the closing day of the reporting period:

(a) 

Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” in respect of accounting periods 
commencing on or after April 1, 2018 superseding Ind AS 11 “Construction Contracts” and Ind AS 18 “Revenue”.

The Group’s current revenue recognition policy is broadly aligned to the principles enunciated in Ind AS 115 and does not require 
any material change except for realty business. In terms of Ind AS 115, revenue of realty business will be recognised at the time 
of delivery of units to the customers as compared to revenue recognition based on percentage completion method currently 
followed as per the Guidance note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The management is in the process 
of implementing Ind AS 115 and does not expect any material impact on the Group’s financial position as at March 31, 2018 and 
on the financial results of the Group in the first year of implementation viz. financial year commencing on April 1, 2018 except as 
above.

(b) 

Ind AS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”

On March 28, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 
and inserted Appendix B, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration in Ind AS 21.

In Appendix B, it is clarified that the date of transaction to determine the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of related 
asset, expense or income is the date on which the initial recognition of the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising 
from the payment or receipt of advance consideration.

The Group’s existing accounting policy conforms to the above clarification.

Notes:
1.   Significant influence is demonstrated by holding 20% or more of the total voting power, or control of or participation in business decisions under an 

agreement of the investee.

2.   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.

3.   There is restriction on transferring the resources to the share holder and hence the same has not been considered for consolidation.

4.   The associate company is under liquidation process and investment is fully provided in the accounts.
