A.M. NAik
Group Chairman

We look forward with optimism 
to political leadership with the 
vision, maturity and resolve 
to usher in a resurgent era of 
inclusive growth and prosperity.

Dear Shareholders

at the outset, our hearty 
congratulations to the new 
Government on winning a decisive 
mandate in the General Elections. 
With the uncertainties thrown up 
by the polls now behind us, the 
country can re-focus on its primary 
goal of building a new future for 
all its citizens. We look forward 
with optimism to the new political 
leadership which we believe possesses 
the vision, maturity and resolve to 
usher in a resurgent era of inclusive 
growth and prosperity.  

Economic Scenario 

india’s GDp in FY2019 is estimated 
to have grown by around 7 per cent. 
While this is a laudable achievement 
in the global context, it falls 
marginally short of expectations due 
to an interplay of macro-economic 
and political factors. These include 
the uncertainties which invariably 
accompany our General Elections, 
volatility in crude prices and 
unpredictable currency fluctuations.  
The economy also had to grapple 
with a funding crunch for nFBCs 
precipitated by the iL&FS debt default, 
deceleration in the agriculture and 

mining sectors and widening of fiscal 
and current account deficits. 
on a positive note, the country has 
largely got back on track after the 
initial disruptive effects of twin reform 
measures, viz., Demonetisation and 
GST. The longer-term benefits of 
both these measures are gradually 
being realised through an uptick in 
tax collections on an expanding base 
of tax payers. We also see the light at 
the end of the tunnel in the case of 
overleveraged corporate balance sheets 
and high bank loan delinquencies. 
imaginative steps such as the resolution 
of stressed businesses under the 
insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, bank 
recapitalisation and more stringent 
application of npa credit provisions 
norms should help the sector back on 
its feet. it is also heartening to note 
that india now ranks 77th in the World 
Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index, 
continuing its ascent for the second 
consecutive year.

Benign headline retail (Cpi) inflation 
(a nominal anchor of monetary policy) 
over a prolonged period has prompted 
a softer monetary policy resulting in 
lower interest rates. Eventually, this 
should rev up private sector investment, 
which has remained dormant for the 
past few years.

CHAiRMAN’S STaTEmEnT

annuaL rEporT 2018-19

Though corporate earnings have registered reasonable 
growth during FY19, Fiis have been withdrawing significant 
tranches of money from secondary markets for the better 
part of the year. Domestic money managers also rebalanced 
their portfolios by favouring defensive sectors and reducing 
allocations to cyclical sectors like infrastructure. The last few 
months of FY19 have, however, witnessed a rebooting of 
confidence in the future of the economy, with markets too 
recording a significant inflow of Fii money.

While the private sector has been somewhat tentative 
in increasing spends in FY19 (in areas of ppp, industrial 
capex and certain segments of urban infrastructure), the 
public sector has been far more forthcoming with vigorous 
investments in key sectors. These include water, metro rail 
networks, railways, roads and road adjacencies (special 
bridges, expressways and city flyovers), power transmission 
& distribution and hydrocarbon. The strong underlying 
macro drivers of investments in these sectors are expected 
to sustain into FY20 and beyond. Encouragingly, the 
private sector also seems to have overcome its bashfulness, 
and begun to show signs of revival in road concessions, 
airports, healthcare, metals, mining and cement capacity 
augmentation. Gross fixed capital formation rate improved 
to 32.3% in FY19 from 31.4% in FY18, signalling a smart 
rise in public investment spending.

on the international front, optimism and growth are being 
held hostage to geo-political uncertainties, such as Brexit, 
the flaring of protectionist tendencies and the combustible 
issue of trade tariffs. Current consensus forecasts point to 
a slowdown in the world economy in 2019, precipitated by 
higher oil prices in 2018 and tempering of uS growth, even 
as the uS Fed is under pressure to adopt an accommodative 
monetary stance. against this backdrop, your Company’s 
investments in targeted geographies are expected to yield 
salutary returns. our clear thrust is towards renewable 
energies, hydrocarbon expansion and non-oil revenues 
in the middle East as well as significant investments in 
infrastructure in non-middle East geographies where your 
Company has consolidated its presence.

Group level Performance Overview

Your Company has once again turned in a stellar 
performance on all key parameters. order inflows, which are 
the lifeblood of any business with Engineering, procurement 
and Construction (EpC) as its core, came in at R 176,834 
crore in FY19 registering a strong growth of 16% over 
FY18. The unexecuted order Book as on 31st march, 2019 
stood at R 293,427 crore which gives us strong revenue and 

2

margin visibility for the next few years. revenues in FY19 
have clocked in at R 141,007 crore registering a resurgent 
growth of 18% over FY18. paT touched an all-time high  
of R 8,905 crore in FY19 representing a substantial growth 
of 21% over FY18.

The touchstone of your Company has been its focus on 
shareholder value creation and your Company has delivered 
on this front in FY19 as well.

it gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Board 
of Directors has recommended a Dividend of R 18.00 per 
share. The corresponding dividend in the previous year was 
R 16.00 per share.

international business

Geographical de-risking has always been part of your 
Company’s game plan for international markets. across the 
last decade, the strong organisation which we have built in 
the oil-rich middle East region has paid handsome dividends, 
while insulating us from the periodic ups and downs of the 
domestic economy. The recent volatility in crude prices due 
to political and economic crosscurrents has, however, led 
to reduced investments in opEC regions. having proactively 
readied itself for such an eventuality, your Company forayed 
into select african countries, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This 
sustained drive over the last few years has started yielding 
results, with non-middle East business contributing to 
around 45% of the international order Book.

meanwhile, L&T infotech (LTi) and L&T Technology Services 
(LTTS) accelerated their growth thrust in the uS and 
European markets.

Talent Management and Succession Planning

Your Company believes that people are the basic building 
blocks of a business organisation, and places unrelenting 
emphasis on nurturing, retaining and developing talent at all 
levels of management. The wide canvas of businesses within 
the Group offers unparalleled opportunities for professional 
growth. Structured professional and leadership development 
programmes, monetary and non-monetary rewards as well 
as a conducive work environment and mentoring at various 
levels form the backbone of hr initiatives of your Company.

i personally allocate quality time to mentoring the next 
generation of leaders for the Group, apart from involvement 
in strategy, business portfolio rationalisation and CSr.

Sustainable Development

Your Company views sustainability as the essential discipline 
of balancing economic growth with social inclusiveness and 
environmental conservation. our Sustainability policy mirrors 
our values and ethos, while our Sustainability programme 
is aligned to universally recognized development goals 
and focused on measurable outcomes. We offer green 
technology solutions for our clients, work continuously 
on energy intensity reduction and shrinking our carbon 
footprint. a ‘reduce, reuse, recycle and redeem’ principle 
has helped us reduce consumption of natural resources. 
most of our campuses are water positive and many 
harness green energy. on the community front, the social 
infrastructure which we help to build is introducing positive 
change in the lives of thousands who live in proximity to 
our campuses. The mantle of social responsibility extends 
beyond the organization to a youthful army of your 
Company’s employee volunteers known as ‘L&Teers’. it is 
indeed heartening that many L&Teers, entirely of their own 
volition, have made social change their personal mission. 

in 2018-19 your Company moved to a higher level 
of disclosure in the public domain and published its 
first integrated report () which conforms to the 
international integrated reporting Council (iirC) framework 
and is in accordance with the Global reporting initiative 
(Gri) Standards.

Total spends on CSr initiatives in 2018-19 by your Company 
amounted to R 122 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. 
The focus areas under CSr continue to be health, education, 
skill building, water and sanitation.

Outlook

apart from the hustle of the election campaigns distracting 
attention from economic policy-making, this year we had to 
contend with global deceleration and financial constraints 
cramping many economies. all this is likely to present 
challenges to india’s growth story in FY20. We expect the 
investment climate to improve in the second half of FY20, 
as the new Government settles down. Financial markets 
and capital inflows may witness volatility in the first half 
of FY20 but gain relative stability in the latter half, given 
india’s inherent potential as an investment destination in the 
emerging markets space. 

The traction that the country’s infrastructure development 
has seen in the last few years will, to our minds, continue 

in the future. retail (Cpi) inflation, projected by the rBi to 
remain below 4% up to end-2019, should facilitate a soft 
monetary policy in FY20. additionally, the decisive market 
interventions of the central bank, the recent recapitalisation 
of public sector banks and the ongoing resolution of chronic 
stressed asset cases through iBC give us reason for a broadly 
positive outlook.

Segments which hold promise in the current year 
include:

1) infrastructure

a)  Urban infrastructure
    Your Company has for several years been at the  
    forefront of designing and constructing large and  
    complex civil infrastructure. our capabilities and track  
    record place us in pole position to make the most of    
    numerous emerging opportunities. These include:  
    airports, commercial buildings, hospitals, educational   
institutions, convention centres, shopping malls, iT  
    buildings, affordable housing and high-end residential  
    real estate. 

b)  Smart Cities 
    Your Company leads the way in building smart city  
infrastructure and is well-positioned for the projects  
 likely to be ordered out. We are looking at expanding  

    opportunities in intelligent traffic management and  
    surveillance systems, smart electric grids & lighting,  
    fibre optic cabling and transport & logistics systems.    
    The domain expertise available with L&T infotech and  
    L&T Technology Services positions your Company as a  
    formidable player in master Systems integration for smart  
    city projects.

c)  Roads  
    While the focus of the national highways authority    
    of india continues to be on both EpC and the hybrid   
 annuity model, expressways as well as special bridges  
 and city flyovers are likely to buttress the overall roads  
 investment programme in the country.

d)  Railways 
    With the execution of the first two legs of the Dedicated  
    Freight Corridor well underway, the focus has shifted   
    to the mumbai-ahmedabad high speed rail project,    
    rapid electrification of railway lines and track  
    upgradation / augmentation. all these are likely to  
    provide good business prospects in FY20.

annuaL rEporT 2018-19

e)  Metro Rail 

in the last few years, urban planning authorities have   

    zeroed in on metro rail networks as the most viable  
    solution for decongesting urban traffic in our cities.  
    While over ten cities have operational metro rail  
    networks covering close to 600 km of inner city  
    networks, another 600 km are currently under  
    construction and around 1400 km are in the planning  
    stage. investment in this area is expected to continue   
    for many years as more and more cities move from  
    drawing board to execution phase over the years. Total  
    spends on metro rail networks in the country over  
    the next few years are expected to be in the region of  
    R 400,000 crore.

2) Water infrastructure

The sector has seen a surge in investments over the last 
few years, and the momentum is expected to continue. 
infrastructure for management of water resources within 
the country, waste-water treatment facilities as well as large 
lift irrigation systems are likely to see continued investment. 
inland waterways infrastructure could receive focused 
government attention from FY20 onwards.

3) Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D)  

prospects in india and other focused geographies continue 
to be strong, with investments by Central as well as 
State utilities offering good business opportunities. The 
Saubhagya initiative launched by the Government in 2017 
to transmit electricity to individual households along with 
smart metering has given good business traction to your 
Company. This programme is expected to extend into FY20 
as well. 

While building further on its presence in the middle East 
markets, your Company has also successfully entered parts 
of East africa, algeria, Egypt and countries in East asia.  
These geographies are likely to provide continual growth 
opportunities.

4) Hydrocarbon  

This business has grown rapidly in FY19 in terms of order 
inflows and revenues. it sees sizeable investment prospects 
in domestic and international markets in both offshore and 
onshore segments. prevailing oil prices, hovering around 
uSD 70 per barrel (Brent Crude), should spur further 
investment in oil producing countries, and ensure a pipeline 
of continued investments in the production and processing 
of hydrocarbons.

5) Heavy Engineering  

Your Company’s competitive position is built around its 
strong technological capabilities in designing and production 
of sophisticated equipment for the oil & gas, fertiliser and 
power sectors. on the back of significant all-round growth in 
FY19, the business is expected to leverage strong domestic 
and global business opportunities in FY20.

6) Defence Engineering 

This business segment was formed keeping in mind the 
abundant business opportunities that are likely to come up in 
the domestic market on a continuing basis. Your Company’s 
expertise spanning three decades, in both land-based and 
naval systems, gives this business a competitive edge in 
responding to the strong defence capex outlay that is likely 
to sustain at a national level in the coming years.

7) Thermal Power Generation 

This sector continues to face a host of challenges. 
manufacturers of core power generation equipment must 
contend with over-capacity, intensive competition and 
inadequate coal supply. aggravating this is a customer base 
weakened by financially-stressed ipps, public utilities in the 
red and rural customers clamouring for more subsidised 
power. Despite these prevailing conditions, your Company 
sees the potential to bid for around 8 GW of upcoming 
projects in the power EpC space as well as tenders for retro-
fitting existing power plants with state-of-the-art emission 
control equipment. During the last year, we successfully 
executed gas-fired power plant projects in Bangladesh and 
are targeting similar opportunities in neighbouring countries.

8) Realty  

The real estate sector is slowly picking up as demonstrated 
in an increase in sales, a gradual reduction of unsold 
inventory levels and improvement in absorption rates. Your 
Company’s real estate development projects in mumbai as 
well as Bengaluru are progressing well and are expected to 
provide steady revenues and profits over the next few years. 
The launch of new projects in mumbai and Chennai should 
provide growth momentum to this business.

9) information Technology and Technology 
Services (iT&TS)  

This business segment, comprising two separate listed 
entities (L&T infotech and L&T Technology Services) has 
recorded strong revenue growth and increased profitability 
over the last few years. The business is expected to continue 
registering strong growth in FY20 while maintaining margins.

10)  Financial Services  

The nBFC space in india since mid-2019 has been 
dominated by the unfortunate developments concerning 
iL&FS. it has led to a liquidity squeeze, and made lenders 
wary of rolling over short liability positions. Your Company’s 
financial services business successfully weathered the 
upheaval thanks to its robust financial structure, control on 
aLm mismatches, short term strategy and sound operating 
practices. The situation has since improved and the business 
turned in a superlative financial performance in FY19 on all 
key parameters even during a volatile year. The business has 
delivered top quartile return on Equity (roE) in FY19 and 
expects to continue this strong roE performance in FY20.

11)  Development Projects  

Your Company has a clutch of concessions in roads, 
transmission lines, coal fired power plants, hydel power 
plants and a large metro rail (in hyderabad). in FY19, we 
successfully divested five road assets to an infrastructure 
investment Trust (inviT) and a container port (in Kattupalli, 
Tamil nadu) as part of our wide-ranging efforts to enhance 
Group roE. Certain stretches of the hyderabad metro rail 
have been completed in FY19 and it is expected that the 
network will be commissioned fully in FY20. The focus here 
is on monetisation of the value created in these businesses.

L&T-NxT

Your Company is an early adopter of digital technologies 
among india’s E&C companies, and is adept at ioT, Lidar, 
photogrammetry, Bim, ai and machine Learning. Launched 
three years ago, the digital initiative yielded significant asset 
productivity gains and process efficiencies to operations 
ranging from pre-bid engineering and cost-estimation, 
project execution and monitoring and supply chain 
interactions. 

on the strength of wide-ranging digital transformations 
achieved successfully within the L&T group, we have 
now launched a new strategic initiative ‘L&T-nxT’ to 
extend this in-house experience and expertise to global 
markets and create value for our clients in select industry 
verticals. Leveraging the domain expertise of L&T across 
diverse industry segments, L&T-nxT targets building a 
business through the use of new age technologies, such 
as iioT, digitalisation and analytics, artificial intelligence, 
augmented / Virtual reality, Geo-spatial applications and 
Cyber Security to partner our clients in their transformation 
journey. We believe there is a huge opportunity ahead 
with an increasing number of companies moving towards 

industry 4.0 and adopting ‘Smart’ products, systems & 
processes to unlock incremental value.  While it is too early 
to talk about financials, L&T-nxt is well positioned to capture 
a significant market share and become one of the key 
drivers for L&T’s growth in the long term.

Acquisition of Mindtree Limited

Your Company is in the process of acquiring a controlling 
stake in mindtree Limited, a company operating in the 
iT services space. We believe the acquisition would be 
completed in the best interests of all stakeholders. For L&T, 
it is a good opportunity to grow the iT&TS business portfolio 
and create value for the shareholders.

Strategic Plan

Your Company’s 5-year strategic plan ‘LaKShYa’ is 
the roadmap for growth and value addition. LaKShYa 
extends from FY17 to FY21 and encompasses every major 
performance parameter to achieve the over-arching goal of 
boosting roE. Your Company is well on its way to achieving 
its targets and has recorded progress on all fronts of the 
Lakshya plan over the last three years (FY17 to FY19). 
We remain confident of achieving the goal in FY21 (the 
terminal year of the plan) and in the meantime, have been 
developing the next strategic plan (to be launched from 
FY22) to ensure steady, profitable growth into the future.

Acknowledgements

i would like to thank the leadership team of L&T headed 
by mr. S.n. Subrahmanyan and all the employees for their 
stellar contribution to the Company’s performance. i also 
thank our customers, vendors and other stakeholders for 
their confidence and trust in the Company. i acknowledge 
and thank my fellow Board members for their invaluable 
support in taking the Company to greater heights.

Thank You

SOCIAL 
RESPONSIBILITY

Bhim Block, Rajasthan  

Contributing towards Social 
Development and Growth 

L&T is an engineering and construction conglomerate 
with a concern for the community. Building on over 
eight 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 L&T’s 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.    
In the recent years we consolidated CSR programmes 
with a focus on certain development areas that align 
with the global and national development agenda. 
L&T received the highest ‘4 Good’ rating in the annual 
The Economic Times ‘2 Good 4 Good’ CSR Rating 
Scheme based on its performance and impact created 
in CSR in the period 2016-18. A total of 35 companies 
participated this year in the rating scheme presented by 
The Economic Times, with knowledge partner KPMG. 

Through the CSR theme ‘Building India’s Social 
Infrastructure’ we are glad to contribute to social 
change in India.  Here is a snapshot of our CSR 
interventions across four key thrust areas. 

WATER & SANITATION

The Integrated Community Development Program of L&T 
started in 2014-15, focused on making water - the very 
‘necessity of life’ - available to six water stressed districts 
in Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu covering 20100 
households across an area of 16844 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  
    farm ponds constructed with the participation and

    contribution of the community, helped in increasing the  
    water level in the water bodies in these villages and  
    retain soil moisture.   
•	 The	community	groups	like	Village	Development		
	 	 Committees	(VDCs),	Farmers	Groups	with	50	per	cent		
	 	 participation	from	women	and	Self	Help	Groups	(SHGs)		
    were created. They assumed the responsibility to  
    maintain the structures created through the project.
•	 	Farmers	were	trained	in	agricultural	practices	with		
    optimal use of water and use of zero-budget natural   
    fertilisers to retain the fertility of the land. The  
    community members also devised methods that improve  
    the arability of land.
•	 Agri-based	livelihood	options	were	created	for		
    additional income generation benefitting 1800 no.  
    of families.

WASH Initiatives 

The Swachha Bharat Program of GOI gave the necessary 
impetus to initiate the sanitation drive in villages. L&T 
trained local youth in masonary skills and used local 
materials to achieve the following:   
•	 Community-based	monitoring	committees	to	deter	open		
    defecation. 
•	 Construction	of	over	4000	well-designed	household			
    toilet-cum-bathrooms and over 300 school toilets of   
    which 1108 HH toilets and 117 school toilets were built  
    in 2018-19. This work was recognised under Sanitation  

    Mission of by Government of Rajasthan by awarding it  
    for being the best sanitation programme in the state. 

Impact

•	 Access	to	water	for	drinking,	sanitation,	irrigation,  
    cultivation of fodder and extra crops
•	 Ensured	water	availability	to	10558	households	
•	 Increased	land	productivity	by	converting	46%	of	fallow		
    land to cultivable land

	 	 are	ODF	benefitting	1108	families	this	year		
•	 Improved	economies,	for	18300	households,	raising	the
    aspirations of the people 

The Kookara - Lasariya watershed project, Bhim Block 
of Rajsamand District Rajasthan, enabled water holding 
of	6948	lakh	litres	in	one	year	(2018-19)	and	made	54	
hectares of barren land cultivable.

SECTiON E

 Principle 1: Businesses should conduct  
 and govern themselves with Ethics,  
 Transparency and Accountability

at Larsen & Toubro, Corporate Governance is fundamental 
to the business and core to its existence. The philosophy 
is based on the transparent governance & disclosure 
practices, respect for human rights and individual dignity 
and adherence to norms of moral and professional 
conduct. L&T is a professionally managed indian multi-
national, committed to total customer satisfaction and 
enhanced value creation. The Vision of the company is 
inclusive, with a culture of caring and trust supplemented 
by corporate policies. These are also applicable to all 
subsidiary and associate companies. 

The Company has laid down its Code of Conduct (CoC) 
which is applicable to Board members, senior management 
and employees. The objective is to remain committed, 
vigilant towards ethical conduct of business processes. 
all employees need to adhere to and provide an annual 
declaration for their compliance with the CoC. The 
objective is to increase the understanding and instill a sense 
ownership of the Company. 

The CEo & mD provided an annual declaration by the 
Board members and senior management to CoC and 
affirms its compliance. The CoC is available at  
www.larsentoubro.com and periodical training is 
conducted for relevant stakeholders to make them aware 
of the CoC and amendments. all new employees undergo 
training on the CoC in the induction program. The training 
module on CoC is also hosted on L&T’s web-based any 
Time Learning (aTL) portal. The Graduate Engineering 
Trainees (GETs) and post Graduate Engineering Trainees 
(pGETs) also learn about the CoC in the ‘praYaG’ & 
‘SWaGaT’ (special orientation) training modules.

at the apex level in the governance structure, a CoC 
committee comprising minimum five board members 
meet at least twice a year to review the CoC and ensure 
implementation across the organization. This apex 

committee coordinates, interacts and provides feedback to 
the Executive Committee (E Com) on all issues pertaining to 
the CoC. The Compliance officer of the organization also 
acts as Ex-officio secretary of the apex committee. its key 
function is to ensure implementation of the CoC across the 
organization, review all the instances of non-compliance 
and augment the CoC if required. The Compliance officer 
also oversees the function of unit-level CoC committees.

All L&T vendors and  suppliers sign a Combined Code of Conduct covering 
various aspects of governance.

at the unit level, the CoC committee comprises four 
members from heads of human resources (hr), operations 
and accounts department. The committee is chaired by the 
unit head and meets at least once a quarter. The role 
of the unit committee comprises creating awareness 
amongst employees, motivating them to adhere to the 
CoC and monitoring compliance. The investigation of 
non-compliance cases, and reporting to the apex level 
committee is also done by the unit CoC committee. 
Senior officers from various locations are appointed as 
coordinators for the respective locations/businesses/ 
corporate departments. The objective is to inculcate good 
governance practices amongst employees. This ultimately 
boosts L&T’s brand value. 

25

 
 
Whistle Blower Policy
The policy was formulated in 2004, and is periodically 
reviewed and updated. The objective is to have a vigilance 
mechanism in place for directors, senior management 
and employees to report their concerns about potential, 
suspected and actual frauds, unethical, and violation to the 
clauses of the CoC. The Whistle Blower policy is an effective 
method available to employees to fearlessely report any 
wrong practices, unethical behavior or non-compliance 
which may have a detrimental impact on the organization 
including financial damage and its brand devaluation.  
During 2018-19, a total of 51 Complaints were received 
through whistleblower policy and all these complaints were 
scrutinized and addressed in accordance with the Company’s 
protocol. 50 complaints were resolved and one complaint 
is in the process of being resolved. The Whistle Blower 
investigation committee and management maintain the 
anonymity of the whistleblower at all times. The stakeholder 
complaints are included in the director’s report section of the 
annual report. 
From the last two years, the Whistleblower policy has been 
extended to suppliers and contractors as well to enable 
them to report their concerns about unethical behavior, 
misconduct, violation of legal and other requirements, 
improper practices, actual or suspected fraud by the 
company official without the fear of unfair treatment 
or punishment (including loss of business).  The senior 
management and the audit committee of the Board are 
apprised of the internal processes on a periodical basis, 
which covers internal controls, statutory compliance, and 
assurance. 
The Company has established a Combined Code of Conduct 
for the suppliers and vendors which covers various aspects, 
such as compliance with environmental regulations, 
health & safety, labour practices, human rights aspects, 
minimum wages rule, freedom of association and collective 
bargaining, prohibition on child labour, forced & compulsory 
labour, ethical behavior, reducing negative impact on society 
due to their operations, transparency in business processes 
and environment conservation. 
a new supplier needs to sign this combined CoC when 
he/she wants to do business with the Company. So far 
more than 22,000 suppliers have signed this CoC. Training 
workshops, including capacity building programmes, are 
periodically conducted for vendors and sub-contractors 
which cover topics from Environment, health & Safety 

(EhS), human rights, business process improvements and 
sustainability. The Company ensures compliance by vendors 
and suppliers to combined CoC through periodic quality 
appraisal, EhS audits, and assessments.

 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 endeavor 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 and certified Green Campus 
(LDa Lonavala). our 24 campuses have adopted the zero-
wastewater discharge approach and continue to ensure 
water positive status. Energy efficiency programmes 
and climate change mitigation measures are extensively 
implemented across L&T, contributing to 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 

26

 
 
227 MLD Water Treatment Plant, Kolkata, West Bengal 

 L&T offers a variety of energy-saving low voltage switchgear

and coal gasifiers. Our green portfolio is focused on 
minimizing 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 the 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)	are	
extensively practiced by our infrastructure business. The 
Sustainability Roadmap 2021 targets increasing recycling/
use	of	recycled	material	by	5%.
Fly	ash	substitutes	cement	in	construction,	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 requirements, 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 help 
L&T to become a truly global conglomerate. The 
Company nurtures its talent by motivating and rewarding 
performance. The Corporate Human Resources Policy has 
set up a strong framework for workforce management. 
Fostering	a	culture	of	caring	and	trust	are	other	corporate	
policies	like	the	Environment,	Health	&	Safety	(EHS)	Policy,	
Whistle-Blower policy, Protection of Women’s Rights at 
Workplace and the CoC.
L&T does not discriminate against employees based on 
caste, religion, region, gender or physical disability and 
merit of candidates is always accorded top priority for 
selection and promotion. L&T adheres to be UNGC (United 
Nation	Global	Compact)	principles	which	include	Human	
Rights clauses. These causes are part of our contracts with 
suppliers, partners, NGOs and extended across our supply 
chain.

The Company recognizes the employees’ right to form 
unions and associations affiliated with trade unions at its

Training and skill-building are the pillars which support 
L&T’s skill development agenda. Regular training and 
exposure to the challenges of the future are vital parts of 
an employee’s career progress. L&T trains employees in new 
skills in emerging fields in addition to continual training 
on functional and behavioral areas. Employees are given 
opportunities for higher education through sponsorship in 
reputed colleges and by way of corporate tie-ups.

L&T’s	e-learning	portal	–	Any	Time	Learning	(ATL)	–	is	
available for employees anytime and at any place. The 
training modules are diverse. They are prepared by subject 
experts and culled from various knowledge sources. ATL 
courses are interactive, engaging and user-friendly. The 
ATLNext, a learning process automation, and analytical 
platform has been hosted since last two years. This 
intelligent and adaptive learning platform makes learning 
personal and compelling. The Leadership Development 
Academy	(LDA)	at	Lonavala	has	been	identified	as	a	unique	
corporate university in India. It is a symbol of value for L&T 
as it helps people develop and grow by providing the right 
infrastructure, and services to aid and enhance learning. 
The LDA has been recognized as a ‘Research Centre’ by 
Symbiosis International University. It enables employees 
to pursue their PhD. programmes. In addition, various 
functional, technical and managerial training programmes 
are provided to employees through technical training 
centres	from	Mumbai	(Madh	and	Mahape),	Mysore	and	
Project	Management	Institutes	(Vadodara	and	Chennai).

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 
is demonstrated through our approach and is visible while 
taking business decisions. Our focus area is effective 
implementation of health and safety practices in line 
with	our	‘Zero	Accident	Vision’.	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 
the commencement of work. L&T is the first corporate 
organization in India to be accredited as ‘Course Provider’ 
by the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety 
&	Health	(NEBOSH),	United	Kingdom	(UK)	for	delivering	the	
International General Certificate and by the Institution of 
Occupational	Safety	&	Health	(IOSH),	the	UK	for	delivering	
their course. 

More than 4.1 million man-hours of safety training were 
provided	in	FY	2018-19	to	our	workforce.	Our	wellness	
programme ‘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 enhancing 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 4: Business should respect the    
  interests of and be responsive towards    
  all stakeholders, especially those who are  
  disadvantaged, vulnerable and  
  marginalized. 

Our responsibility to stakeholders is reflected in the way 
we do our business. The contribution of shareholders and 
investors to the growth of the Company is deeply valued, 
and we work hard to ensure that we deliver positive returns 
to the shareholders.

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

  Principle 5: Business should respect and   
  promote Human Rights

L&T	is	an	Indian	Multi-National	Company	(MNC)	with	a	
presence in over 35 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	is	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, the 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 the Workplace 
is implemented to address sexual harassment at the 
workplace. We conduct periodical training for employees 
on various aspects of 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

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

Environmental 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 considerations 
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 L&T’s 

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 the regional 
and	global	level)	and	how	these	can	adversely	impact	their	
operations. We also share with our vendors, opportunities 
and benefits made available by following sustainability 
practices. More than 22,000 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 2018-19. Water conservation and 
rainwater harvesting are practiced within our premises; 
additionally, our community interventions consist of 
rainwater 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).	
We maintained the Carbon Neutrality for two of our 
Campuses,	i.e.	Powai	(Mumbai)	and	Chennai	in	2018-19	
as well. 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 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 the compliance to environmental 
regulations, including submission of the compliance 
report to the regulatory agency. During 2018-19, there 
were no pending or unresolved show cause / legal notices 

from CPCB / SPCB. Renewable energy at manufacturing 
campuses is utilized, wherever feasible. Currently, eight 
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 the sustenance of human lives 
on this planet. L&T undertakes tree plantation both within 
and	outside	its	premises	(as	part	of	its	CSR	programme)	
and engage with agencies / NGOs to conduct plantation 
at public places, national parks and on Government land. 
During the year 2018-19 more than 2,50,000 trees were 
planted by our people in project locations across India. We 
have planted more than 7 lakh trees in the last five years 
across India and we continue to nurture a self-sustaining 
forest at two locations in India through the Miyakwaki 
technique.

Director under Section 160 of the Companies Act, 2013, 
proposing his candidature for the office of Independent 
Director of the Company.

In the opinion of the Board, Mr. Zainulbhai fulfils the 
conditions specified in the Companies Act, 2013 and 
rules made thereunder and LODR Regulations for his 
re-appointment as an Independent Director of the 
Company and is independent of the management. A 
copy of the letter for appointment of Mr. Zainulbhai as an 
Independent Director setting out the terms and conditions 
would be available for inspection without any fee by the 
members at the Registered Office of the Company.

The Board considers that his association would be of 
immense benefit to the Company as it has been beneficial 
in the past and it is desirable to avail services of Mr. 
Zainulbhai as an Independent Director. Accordingly, 
the Board recommends the resolution in relation to the 
re-appointment of Mr. Zainulbhai as an Independent 
Director, for the approval by the shareholders of the 
Company.

Except Mr. Adil Zainulbhai, being the appointee, none 
of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel of the 
Company and their relatives are concerned or interested, 
in the resolution set out at Item No. 10. 

Item No. 11:

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held 
on August 22, 2017, the shareholders had approved 
payment of remuneration to Mr. S. N. Subrahmanyan 
(DIN: 02255382) as the Chief Executive Officer and 
Managing Director of the Company within the limits 
and subject to the terms and conditions set out in 
the resolution passed at that meeting read with the 
explanatory statement. The resolution had approved 
the following scale of salary payable to the Mr. S. N. 
Subrahmanyan – 

R 18,40,000 (Rupees Eighteen Lakh Forty Thousand only) 
per month in the scale of R 12,00,000 – R 1,60,000 – 
R 21,60,000 with annual increment due on April 1 every 
year.

Mr. S. N. Subrahmanyan’s salary has reached the 
maximum limit of salary as per the above scale w.e.f April 
1, 2019. Hence, it is proposed that the existing scale of 
salary payable to Mr. S. N. Subrahmanyan be revised with 
effect from April 1, 2020 as under –

R 23,20,000 in the scale of R 23,20,000 – R 1,60,000 
– R 24,80,000 with an annual increment due on April 1 
every year.

Changes in the business environment particularly greater 
integration of the Indian economy with the global 
markets and easier migration of managerial resources 
from one part of the world to other has necessitated that 
the Company follows a contemporary and competent 
remuneration policy in order to retain and reward talent 
in line with the market. It is, therefore, necessary to 
do periodic revisions in the ceilings that have been 
contemplated in absolute sums of money. 

The enhanced limits of salary will, however, continue 
to be subject to the condition that the total managerial 
remuneration payable shall not exceed the overall limit 
of 10% of the net profits of the Company as approved 
by the shareholders at their Meeting held on August 26, 
2016. 

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the 
Board of Directors of the Company at their respective 
Meetings held on January 25, 2019 recommended the 
change in scale to the shareholders for approval. A copy 
of the draft agreement proposed to be entered into with 
Mr. S. N Subrahmanyan would be available for inspection 
without any fee by the members at the Registered Office 
of the Company.

The limits stipulated herein above are the maximum 
limits and the Board may, on the recommendation of 
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, pay to 
Mr. S. N. Subrahmanyan appropriate remuneration and 
revise the same from time to time within the maximum 
limits stipulated by this resolution.

The Board recommends this Resolution for approval of the 
Shareholders.

Except Mr. S. N. Subrahmanyan, none of the Directors 
and/or Key Managerial Personnel of the Company and/or 
their relatives are concerned or interested in resolution 
no. 11. 

Item No 12:

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held 
on August 26, 2016, the shareholders had approved 
payment of remuneration to Mr. R. Shankar Raman (DIN: 
00019798) as the Whole-time Director and Chief Financial 
Officer of the Company within the limits and subject to 
the terms and conditions set out in the resolution passed 
at that meeting read with the explanatory statement. 
The resolution had approved the following scale of salary 
payable to the Mr. R. Shankar Raman –

R 11,25,000 (Rupees Eleven Lakh Twenty Five Thousand 
only) per month in the scale of R 6,50,000 – R 75,000 

– R 10,25,000 – R 1,00,000 – R 15,25,000 with annual 
increment due on April 1 every year.’ 

Mr. R. Shankar Raman’s salary has reached the maximum 
limit of salary as per the above scale w.e.f April 1, 2019. 
Hence, it is proposed that the existing scale of salary 
payable to Mr. R. Shankar Raman be revised upwards with 
effect from April 1, 2020 as under –

R 16,25,000 in the scale of R 16,25,000 – R 1,00,000 
– R 17,25,000 with an annual increment due on April 1 
every year.

Item No. 13:

As the shareholders of the Company are aware, the 
Company has been engaged in the manufacture 

57

NOTICE     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

and supply of defence equipment and systems and 
aerospace systems and sub-systems. The Company 
provides indigenous, design-to-delivery backed by 
throughlifesupport solutions across the defence spectrum 
including defence platforms & systems, equipment, 
sensors & electronics as well as specialised turnkey 
defence construction solutions, structures, smart 
infrastructure and modernisation of existing facilities. 

Defence manufacturing is covered under licensing under 
the Industrial Development and Regulation Act, 1951 
(‘IDRA/Act’), mentioned at Sr. No. 37 of the Schedule I 
of the Act and also included at Sr. No. 13 of Schedule 
II of Notification S.O. 477 (E) dated 25th July 1991 and 
further amended vide Notification S.O.11 (E) dated 3rd 
January 2002. Over the years, from 2002 when Defence 
production was opened up for the Private Sector, the 
Company obtained various industrial licences under the 
Act for the manufacture of defence goods. 

Thereafter vide Notification S.O. 1636 (E) issued by 
Ministry of Home Affairs in May 2017, licenses for some 
of the above segments which were earlier issued under 
IDRA were required to be brought under the Arms Act 
1959. The process / procedure for the same was awaited. 
The Government of India issued the Notification under 
the Arms Act, 1959 vide S.O. No. 6203(E) dated 14th 
December, 2018 as amended by vide S.O. No. 1501(E) 
dated 2nd April, 2019, authorising Secretary, Department 
for Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) (Presently 
Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade), 
in the Government of India in the Ministry of Commerce 
& Industry, to issue licenses under the Arms Act, 1959 
in addition to DIPP’s authority to issue licenses under the 
IDRA. 

The Company’s defence activities primarily fall within 
the scope of mechanical and electrical engineering 
and, in fact, prior to the internal restructuring of the 
Company’s business activities, were carried on as 
part of the Company’s ‘heavy engineering’ business. 
The Company has the specific authority to undertake 
engineering related activities in terms of Clause III(b) of its 
Memorandum of Association which reads as follows:

“To carry on business as civil, mechanical, electrical, 
chemical and agricultural engineers, as manufacturers, 
and as importers and exporters, commission agents (and 
merchants and as agents for ships and ship-owners and 
as agents) for foreign manufacturers and merchants”

The Company is also authorised to undertake business 
as manufacturers in respect of goods, merchandise and 

services of all kinds and as an export house in terms of 
Clause III(k)(10) of its Memorandum of Association which 
reads as follows:

“To carry on business as exporters, dealers, manufacturers 
or agents in respect of goods, merchandise and services 
of all kinds and as an export house.”

The Company’s Memorandum of Association also enables 
it to “carry on any other trade or business whatsoever as 
can in the opinion of the Company be advantageously 
or conveniently carried on by the Company by way of 
extension or in connection with any of the Company’s 
business or as calculated directly or indirectly to develop 
any branch of the Company’s business or to increase 
the value of or turn to account any of the Company’s 
assets, property or rights” (Clause III(n)) of the Company’s 
Memorandum of Association. 

Post December, 2018 Notification as amended by the 
notification dated 02nd April, 2019, multiple of the 
Company’s licenses for the defence business now come 
under the purview of the Arms Act, 1959 while the 
issuing authority remains under the Department for 
Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (erstwhile DIPP). 
Ministry of Commerce & Industry has therefore advised 
the Company to include a specific clause with respect to 
defence goods in the Memorandum of Association, which 
is a requirement under the Arms Act, 1959 and its Rules. 

Whilst the Company has adequate authority under its 
existing Memorandum of Association to manufacture and 
supply defence equipment, which is also evidenced by 
the fact that the Company has, in the past, been granted 
industrial licences under the IDRA for the manufacture of 
defence products, the Board of Directors is of the opinion 
that it would be beneficial to include a specific object 
clause in the Company’s Memorandum of Association 
which expressly authorises the Company to undertake 
defence-related activities.

Defence is a focussed growth area of business for 
the Company and a separate reporting segment and 
therefore it is appropriate to amend the Memorandum 
of Association to include a specific clause with respect 
to defence goods of all types in the Object Clause of the 
Company’s Memorandum of Association. 

A draft copy of the Memorandum of Association will be 
available for inspection at the Registered Office of the 
Company.

The Board recommends this resolution for the approval of 
the shareholders.

None of the Directors and /or Key Managerial Personnel 
of the Company and /or their relatives are concerned or 
interested in resolution no. 13. 

Item No. 14:

The Company requires adequate capital to meet the 
needs of growing business. While it is expected that the 
internal generation of funds would partially finance the 
need for capital, fund raising would be another source of 
funds and hence it is thought prudent for the Company 
to have enabling approvals to raise a part of the funding 
requirements for the said purposes as well as for such 
other corporate purposes as may be permitted under 
applicable laws through the issue of appropriate securities 
as defined in the resolution, in Indian or international 
markets.

The fund raising may be through a mix of equity/ equity-
linked instruments, as may be appropriate. Members 
approval is sought for the issue of equity shares, securities 
linked to or convertible into Equity Shares or depository 
receipts of the Company. SEBI (Listing Obligations and 
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 also provide 
that the Company shall, in the first instance, offer all 
Securities for subscription pro-rata to the Shareholders 
unless the Shareholders in a general meeting decide 
otherwise. Members approval is sought for issuing any 
such instrument as the Company may deem appropriate 
to parties other than the existing shareholders. Whilst no 
specific instrument has been identified at this stage, in the 
event the Company issues any equity linked instrument, 
the issue will be structured in a manner such that the 
additional share capital that may be issued would not be 
more than 5% of the paid-up capital of the Company (as 
at the date when the Board recommended passing of the 
Special Resolution). The equity shares, if any, allotted on 
issue, conversion of securities shall rank in all respects pari 
passu with the existing Equity Shares of the Company.

The Company may also opt for issue of securities through 
Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP). A QIP of the shares 
of the Company would be less time consuming and more 
economical than other modes of raising capital. 

Accordingly, the Company may issue securities by way 
of a QIP in terms of Chapter VI of the Securities and 
Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure 
Requirements) Regulations, 2018 (‘SEBI Regulations’). 
These securities will be allotted only to Qualified 
Institutional Buyers (QIBs) as per the SEBI Regulations and 
there will be no issue to retail individual investors and 
existing retail shareholders. The resolution proposed is an 
enabling resolution and the exact price, proportion and 

timing of the issue of the securities will be decided by the 
Board based on an analysis of the specific requirements 
after necessary consultations. Therefore, the proposal 
seeks to confer upon the Board the absolute discretion to 
determine the terms of issue in consultation with the Lead 
Managers to the Issue.

As per Chapter VI of the SEBI Regulations, an issue of 
securities on QIP basis shall be made at a price not less 
than the average of the weekly high and low of the 
closing prices of the related shares quoted on the stock 
exchange during the two weeks preceding the “relevant 
date.” The Board may, at its absolute discretion, issue 
equity shares at a discount of not more than five percent 
or such other discount as may be permitted under 
applicable regulations to the ‘floor price’ as determined 
in terms of the SEBI Regulations, subject to Section 53 of 
the Companies Act, 2013.

As the pricing of the offer cannot be decided except 
at a later stage, it is not possible to state the price of 
shares to be issued. However, the same would be in 
accordance with the provisions of the SEBI Regulations, 
the Companies Act, 2013, or any other guidelines / 
regulations / consents as may be applicable or required.

In case of issue of convertible bonds and/or equity shares 
through depository receipts the price will be determined 
on the basis of the current market price and other 
relevant guidelines.

The “relevant date” for the above purpose, shall be -

i) 

ii) 

in case of allotment of equity shares, the date of 
meeting in which the Board decides to open the 
proposed issue

in case of allotment of eligible convertible securities, 
either the date of the meeting in which the Board 
decides to open the issue of such convertible 
securities or the date on which the holders of such 
convertible securities become entitled to apply for the 
equity shares, as may be determined by the Board.

The Stock Exchange for the same purpose is BSE Limited / 
National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

The Shareholders through a resolution passed at their 
meeting held on August 22, 2017, had approved issue 
of Securities for an aggregate sum of up to US$ 600 
Million (or its rupee equivalent) or INR 4000 Crore, if 
higher. The Company has not raised any funds under 
the said approval. However, Shareholders resolution for 
QIP issuance is valid for a period of 12 months from 
the date of passing of the resolution. Accordingly, the 

59

NOTICE     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

Shareholders approval is sought for renewal of the 
approval.

The Board recommends this Resolution for approval of the 
Shareholders.

None of the Directors and / or Key Managerial Personnel 
of the Company and / or their relatives are concerned or 
interested, in the resolution set out at Item No. 14, except 
to the extent of their shareholding in the Company. 

Item No. 15:
In accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the 
Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) and the Companies 
(Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (“the Rules”) the 
Company is required to appoint a cost auditor to audit 
the cost records of the Company, for products and 
services, specified under Rules issued in pursuance 
to the above section. On the recommendation of the 
Audit Committee, the Board of Directors had approved 
the appointment of M/s. R. Nanabhoy & Co, Cost 
Accountants (Regn. No. 00010), as the Cost Auditors of 
the Company to conduct audit of cost records maintained 
by the Company for the Financial Year 2019-20, at a 
remuneration of R 13.00 lakhs plus applicable taxes 
and out of pocket expenses at actuals for travelling and 
boarding/lodging.

M/s. R. Nanabhoy & Co., Cost Accountants, have 
furnished certificates regarding their eligibility for 
appointment as Cost Auditors of the Company. In 
accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Act 
read with the Rules, the remuneration payable to the 
cost auditor has to be ratified by the shareholders of the 
Company.

Accordingly, consent of the members is sought for the 
aforesaid purpose.

The Board recommends this resolution for approval of the 
shareholders.

None of the Directors and Key Managerial Personnel 
of the Company and their relatives are concerned or 
interested, in the resolution set out at Item No. 15.

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.

of improvement, for the Directors, Board processes and 
related issues for enhanced Board effectiveness were 
discussed in the meeting of the Independent Directors 
held on 30th November 2018 and in the subsequent

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

& 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 
exist 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 behavioral 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

Vide its circular dated 10th May 2018, SeBI has 
introduced the concept of Group Governance 
Unit. the circular expects listed companies to 
monitor their governance through a Governance 
Committee and establishment of a strong and 
effective group governance policy.

“Corporate Governance” in the Company 
and its subsidiaries broadly includes strategic 
supervision by the Board and its Committees, 
compliance of Code of Conduct, Statutory 
Compliance including compliance of Companies 
Act / applicable SeBI Regulations, avoiding 
conflict of interest, Risk Management, Internal 
Controls and Audit.

the Company has three listed entities within 
the group. each of these entities have their own 
Board and Board Committees in compliance 
with the Companies Act 2013 & SeBI LoDR 
Regulations. the oversight of their subsidiaries 
(34 subsidiaries) is as per Companies Act 2013 
& SeBI LoDR Regulations. the Board Report and 
the annexures of these listed companies contains 
various disclosures dealing with subsidiary 
companies.

each of these listed entities has one executive 
Director and one Independent Director of the 
Company on its Board. Any financial assistance 
to the above companies or purchase/sale by the 
Company of their shares, is dealt with by the 
Company’s Board.

these listed entities publish their independent 
Auditors’ certificate on Corporate Governance, 
secretarial audit report of practising Company 
Secretary and Ceo/CFo’s certificate for internal 
controls for financial reporting.

Responsibility of the Company’s corporate team 
in the areas of statutory compliance (including 
corporate laws), Risk Management, Internal 
Controls and Internal Audit, covers all unlisted 
subsidiaries. the three listed entities have their 
own teams to carry out these functions.

the Company has a multi –tier governance 
system, where major business divisions operate

aNNEXUrE to tHe BoARD RepoRt     ANNUAL RepoRt 2018-19

as Independent Companies (ICs). these ICs 
are not legal entities, however, have their own 
Ceo’s, Functional Heads and Independent 
Boards, including external independent members 
from the respective business sectors, executive 
Directors of the Company and Senior executives 
from the IC’s. All IC’s have independent directors 
of the Company as their Board Members.

the ICs have separate internal teams to 
oversee their legal and compliance functions. 
All Subsidiary Companies associated with the 
respective ICs are reviewed by their respective IC 
Boards. 

the subsidiary companies also function 
independently and have separate Boards which 
consists of representatives of the Company 
who are senior executives of the Company, 
representatives of Joint Venture partners, 
representative of the Company’s Board as well 
as Independent Directors as required by law. As 
per law, these companies, wherever required, 
also have Audit Committee, Nomination & 
Remuneration Committee and CSR Committee. 

  Major subsidiary companies have some executive 
Directors and Independent Directors of the 
Company on their Board. the Key Managerial 
personnel of subsidiary companies like Chief 
executives, Chief Financial officers and Company 
Secretaries are mostly employees of the 
Company or are nominated by the Company as 
per the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement. 
the subsidiary companies’ performance is also 
reviewed by the Company’s Board periodically 
(included in quarterly results presented to the 
Company’s L&t Board). F&A heads of some 
of the subsidiary companies are functionally 
reporting to senior executives in the Company. 

thus, the overall functioning of these Subsidiary 
companies is monitored by the Group directly or 
through their respective IC’s. 

A voluntary Secretarial Audit is conducted for 
all subsidiary companies, including foreign 
companies and companies which are not 

108

covered under the purview of Companies Act, 
2013. thus, there is a complete audit of the 
compliance of applicable statutory provisions and 
adherence to good corporate practices.

the Company’s Code of Conduct (Code) is 
required to be adhered by all group companies 
covering employees, directors, suppliers, 
contractors, etc. In addition to this, the 
subsidiaries set up their own vigil mechanism, if 
they meet the thresholds given in the Companies 
Act. the Audit Committee / Board of these 
companies monitor this mechanism. the Vigil 
Mechanism Framework to report breach of 
code is a structured process, which encourages 
and facilitates all covered, to report without 
fear, wrongdoings or any unethical or improper 
practice which may adversely impact the image, 
credibility and/or the financials of the company, 
through an appropriate forum. 

the Secretarial Department of the Company has 
qualified Company Secretaries (CS) with vast 
experience in the field of compliance and law. 
It consists of fulltime professionals dedicated to 
performing corporate secretarial and subsidiary 
governance duties. Qualified CS in secretarial 
department monitor the compliance related to 
subsidiaries under Companies Act / Rules. the 
Company’s Secretarial Department develops a 
broad Governance policy for the Company and 
its group of subsidiaries. 

the Company’s Secretarial Department is 
involved in all major corporate actions of 
subsidiaries like Ipo’s, raising of capital, 
restructuring, major financial assistance to 
subsidiaries etc. 

Appropriate disclosures related to subsidiaries 
are made in financial statements / directors’ 
report of the Company as well as its subsidiaries 
as per Companies Act 2013 / applicable 
SeBI Regulations and applicable Accounting 
Standards. All companies are subject to Statutory 
Audit and applicable Secretarial Audit.

during the year 2017-18 by a Key Managerial Personnel. Adjusted for the above, the increase in managerial 
remuneration works out to 23.34% which is in line with growth of 23.95% in Profit after Tax for the year 2018-19 
as the variable component of managerial remuneration is linked to growth in Profit after Tax.

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 
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/or 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 

161

 
 
 
 
aNNEXUrE to tHe BoARD RepoRt     ANNUAL RepoRt 2018-19

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     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

MANAGEMENT 
DISCUSSION 
AND 
ANALYSIS

Indian Economy 
The year 2018-19 saw the Indian economy yielding the 
benefits of structural reforms, viz Goods & Service Tax 
(GST), Demonetisation and Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code 
(IBC). The year witnessed a pick-up in project awards, 
improved clearances and fund allocation, resulting in a 
pick-up in execution momentum in the domestic market. 

The domestic economy continues to be driven by public 
sector investments, mainly in areas of water supply, 
irrigation, urban transportation, crude exploration and 
refining, roads allied infrastructure and rural electrification. 
The domestic investment momentum was healthy despite 
the multiple challenges on the economic front, with volatile 
crude oil prices, currency swings, pressure on fiscal and 
current account deficits, sharp temporary contraction in 
liquidity and the general elections held in Q1 of FY2019-20.

The Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative for the Defence 
sector continues to progress slowly due to bureaucratic 
inertia and complex procurement procedures. 

Investment by private sector saw significant traction, 
with pick up in award of large value contracts in airport 
expansion and health sector. Also some momentum was 
seen in private sector capacity expansion. However, the 
overhang of bad debt, rising policy uncertainties and low-
capacity utilization continue to impact the Indian industry 
capex. The power and manufacturing sectors remained the 

worst affected. Surplus inventory in the residential sector 
and limited pick-up in requirement of new construction led 
to lower investments. 

The general elections held in Q1 of FY 2019-20 could 
result in volatility in the domestic market and slowdown 
in Government machinery, although the effects will be 
transitory in nature.

Global Economy
In the year 2018-19, the global economy saw significant 
volatility. The US economy has accelerated at its finest pace 
in last four years due to monetary stimulus and tax cuts 
during the current year. The biggest risk facing economies 
is the growing evidence that global growth and trade are 
weakening. The slowing of the Chinese economy, along 
with growing evidence of European growth under pressure, 
cast a big cloud of uncertainty. 

Unsettled trade tensions and developments around Brexit 
may continue to impact the cross- border trades, while 
oil-price volatility may impart a further downside risk to 
the outlook in the investment climate in the Middle East 
markets.

The Company has identified certain thrust areas and 
strategies, viz. leveraging ongoing digitalisation efforts, 
operational efficiencies, reducing working capital levels, 
unlocking business values, forays into new geographies, 

168

innovating business, inorganic growth and continuing ROE 
enhancement.

DIGItALISAtION AND It INItIAtIVES
As part of the Lakshya 2016-21 plan, Digital was identified 
as one of the major initiatives for the Company. In 
February 2016, a team was constituted to implement 
digital solutions with a focus on operational effectiveness, 
facilitating timely completion and cost savings. 

The initial concentration of digital solutions has been 
mainly in the Construction business, the largest segment 
of the Company. The digital solutions aim to improve 
utilization of equipment, increased productivity, savings in 
fuel, reduction in material wastage and real-time visibility 
of all aspects of operations, thereby enabling better 
monitoring and effective data-based decision making to 
remove bottlenecks and improve timely completion.

Digital journey
The Company has established a young, talented and 
spirited team responsible for creating digital solutions and 
driving their implementation. 

The team operates through a Hub and Spoke model with 
a central team at the Divisional Corporate Office level. 
This team defines the digital strategy, the technology 
and architecture choices, the vendor selection and 
development, solution design and development. 

The Digital Officers and their small teams at the business 
level seek requirements from the businesses and also take 
charge of the roll outs. Every project site has an identified 
Digital Champion who helps implement, monitor and spur 
usage at the sites. 

Over the years, the Company’s digitalisation journey has 
come a long way and a very large number of solutions have 
been developed and deployed at scale across hundreds of 
the project sites. 

Remote Monitoring of Equipment at 
Project Sites 
The usage of a variety of Plant and Equipment at project 
sites helps greatly in ensuring faster construction and 
better quality. L&T has a large fleet of equipment of various 
makes and models and of different vintages, sourced from 
various OEMs.

The Company’s digital solution ‘Asset Insight’ remotely 
monitors various performance parameters of the 
equipment using the Internet of Things (IOT) technology. 
Installing multiple sensors and an intelligent gateway on 
the equipment, enables the business to obtain real-time 
operational, production and condition data on the 
equipment, without human intervention.

Some of these data points are location, movement, 
switch on and switch off time, idling time and work done, 

169

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

number of hours worked, pressure, temperature and fuel 
consumption and many other variables, depending on the 
type of equipment. 

Out of the 12000 equipment identified, currently about 
9500 equipment at project sites are connected and 
streaming data in real time for monitoring.

All the data is analysed and insights shown to the end users 
and managers through user-friendly dashboards to enable 
them to take action to optimise usage, improve utilization, 
redeploy where necessary and realize benefits. 

Workmen Availability and Productivity 
Workmen are key to a project site and their availability 
and productivity have a major role in completing a project 
in time. Digital solutions are implemented for mobilizing 
workmen, on-boarding workmen and monitoring 
productivity of workmen. These solutions use technologies 
like mobility, wearables and RFID suitably tailored to meet 
specific needs. 

Workmen Safety 
The safety of workmen is paramount. Digitalisation can 
play an important role in improving the safety levels of 
the workmen and the following solutions have been 
implemented to achieve the same: 

a.  Safety Processes Digitalisation – All safety checklists 
and processes have been digitalized by putting them on 
a mobile App. This ensures better compliance and also 
saves time required for approvals and corrections. 

b.  Safety Inspections are also recorded on an App for all 
kinds of assets, tools and tackles, harnesses and slings, 
etc. This ensures that inspections are carried out with 
rigour and at the right periodicity to ensure safety. 

c.  Safety training – Using Virtual Reality (VR) & 

Augmented Reality (AR)
 The Company has developed Immersive Virtual Reality 
and Augmented Reality films demonstrating the 
correct safety practices covering a number of scenarios 
like working at a height, material handling, heavy 
vehicle management, working at an excavation site, 
working with HT lines, safety barricading, work permits 
and working in a marine environment. These films, 
translated in multiple Indian languages, are deployed 
on headgear at the sites and are administered to all the 
workmen. They help create a vivid immersive experience 
and imprint the rules of safety firmly in the minds of the 
workmen

Geospatial Solutions 
A variety of data acquisition technologies are used, ranging 
from GNSS (Global Navigational Satellite systems) to aerial 
vehicles (piloted and unmanned), drones, mobile vehicles 
on land and terrestrial total stations. These capture data 
through optics, Laser technology (LIDAR), radio waves 
(RADAR) and thermal imaging. 

These images are processed using complex geospatial 
engineering techniques and powerful data processing 
software. These results are communicated to end users 
and design engineers through user-friendly web pages and 
integrated with other data and applications as required. 

Geospatial technologies thus enable the business to 
perform pre-bid surveys essential for bid making much 
faster and with a much higher degree of accuracy and thus 
can make engineering estimations more accurate.

Materials tracking Solutions 
A number of generic and project-specific solutions 
have been deployed to track materials from issue to 
consumption for a variety of materials and also to establish 
traceability and for reconciliation of materials. These 
solutions use technology such as GPS, RFID, Barcode and 
QR codes, combined with mobility solutions and web 
portals. 

Analytics 
The Company has established a Big Data Analytics platform 
called ‘Alchemy’. The data from all the digital solutions 
deployed are pumped into this platform and a number 
of analytics operations are performed to gain insights on 
aggregated data and combinations of data from different 
systems across the value chain. Descriptive analytics is being 
performed and the company is also moving into predictive 
and prescriptive analytics. 

All these insights from running the algorithms and 
performing analytics are presented to the users in a 
rich visualisation platform as user-friendly dashboards, 
facilitating quick action for realising benefits. 

Digital Initiatives in Manufacturing:
The focus of digitalisation in businesses like Heavy 
Engineering, Defence, Power, Hydrocarbon and Electrical 
& Automation has been on manufacturing. Industry 
4.0 processes are adapted to increase automation in 
manufacturing and connected machines ensuring visibility 
across the manufacturing cycle. The large welding 
machines at the Company’s Hazira factory have not only 
been connected but also automated to ensure significantly 

170

 
higher outputs and consistent quality. Advanced 
technologies like 3D scanning, laser marking and mapping 
are used to ensure accuracy in the manufacturing and 
fabrication processes. A number of industrial robots have 
also been installed at various factories to speed up the 
cycles and ensure precision at all times.

The success of such an initiative is also determined by 
effective change management, which is addressed through 
the top management clearly articulating the necessity and 
importance of digitalisation and its benefits at every forum. 
Digital has been incorporated into the curriculum of all 
the important training programmes in the Company and 
sessions are being held regularly. 

Special newsletters on digital initiatives have been 
published and dissemination of information to all the 
staff is being done regularly through various employee 
engagement solutions. 

A Digital Council consisting Chief Digital Officers from 
all the businesses has been formed in order to share best 
practices, inspire each other and build synergies.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     INFRAStRUCtURE BUSINESS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

INFRASTRUCTURE 
BUSINESS

Domestic Construction Sector
The Infrastructure segment – especially the EPC 
sector – has witnessed a decent order inflow in the last 
four quarters, driven mainly by Government Capex. On 
the other side, private / corporate Capex has declined 
for 7 years in succession over FY12-FY18. The Power 
sector, especially, faces an over-supply situation, with 
corporates in the sector having created significant 
capacity over the past decade in transmission and 
distribution to drive investments. 

Given the favourable macro situation, the 
implementation rate of infra projects has improved 
considerably in FY 2018-19, also driven by general 
elections in Q1 of FY 2019-20.

On the irrigation front, apart from Telangana, Andhra 
Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Haryana and Madhya 
Pradesh, Odisha has also significantly enhanced its 
irrigation investments. 

Urban Infrastructure, which is the key focus of the 
current Government, played a key role over the years 
and is likely to continue in future with implementation 
of Smart Cities, Water Infrastructure, Housing for All 
under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. 

The Railways, always a key focus area, received a 
decent share of India’s overall Budget, and have been a

consistent spender of almost its entire budget amount 
during the last few years.

In the Roads sector, the EPC mode, which contributed 
65–70% of the total cost of projects awarded by NHAI 
during the FY14–16 periods, has taken a backseat. 
Single-segment road players have seen a relatively lower 
inflow of ‘new’ orders – on the back of slowdown in 
order award activity by NHAI. NHAI has awarded only 
550 km of projects in FY 18-19 as compared to 7400 
km in the previous year – leading to muted inflows. 
Moreover, over the last two fiscals, the HAM Model has 
taken the sweet spot, with EPC projects forming just 
30–35% of the cost of projects awarded. A comeback 
of the EPC mode in FY 2019-20 will be a game changer 
for the sector.

Global Construction Sector
The global construction sector has hit a peak in the 
construction cycle during the past 10 years (2008-
2018). 2019 is expected to be a turning point for the 
global construction industry, and the impact of cooling 
down is being felt gradually. The emerging markets 
dominated the overall global infra growth over the last 
few years, while the developed markets have not fully 
regained their pre-crisis volumes. 

Going ahead, slowing GDP growth and tighter financial 
and monetary conditions will drive the deceleration in 
certain infra verticals.

172

Bengaluru International Airport - One of 11 built by L&T

The Middle East infra / construction market is undergoing 
an encouraging paradigm shift, with a steady recovery 
in certain regions. A moderate recovery in oil prices is 
expected to play a decisive role in boosting investments in 
both infrastructure and capital projects. In addition, massive 
projects in Social Infra, Smart Environment, Transportation 
Infra and Renewable Energy are expected to be game-
changers which aren’t linked to the oil industry.

BUILDINGS AND FACtORIES 

Dedicated engineering design centres, competency 
cells, advanced formwork systems, mechanized 
project execution, a wide network of consultants 
and vendors, digitised project control and a talented 
pool of employees helps sustain leadership position, 
retaining key customers, entering new geographies 
and securing major orders. Construction excellence, 
technology, experience and expertise gained over 
several decades gives the business a competitive 
advantage in the construction industry.

Overview:
L&T’s Buildings & Factories (B&F) business is an 
industry leader in Engineering, Procurement 
and Construction (EPC) of projects ranging 
from airports, hospitals, stadiums, retail spaces, 
educational institutions, IT parks, office buildings, 
data centres to elite residential buildings, high-rise 
structures, mass housing complexes, cement plants, 
industrial warehouses and other factory structures. 
The business has a track-record of building tall, 
large and complex structures across India and 
overseas. It also offers total solutions including 
in-house design expertise using advanced systems 
like BIM 3D, 4D and BIM 360 field, an efficient 
supply chain management and extraordinary project 
management expertise across all the business lines 
cited here. 

Business Environment 
The last few years have been extremely challenging for 
the construction industry, but improvement is evident. 
The difficulties in the implementation of RERA and GST 
have settled down. The country’s increasing impetus on 
developing infrastructure has attracted investment from 
major global players.

Private-sector investments in airports have shown positive 
trends, and the business was awarded major airport 
projects during the year. 

The automobile industry is expected to register growth in 
the forthcoming quarters. The manufacturing segment too 
is on an upswing.

Although IT majors are wary of expansion plans, there 
is some movement in the sector as a few of them are

strengthening the bottom layer of the organization 
pyramid. Since inception, 521 FLSs (FY 2018-19: 244) have 
been inducted in 15 batches under various functions like 
Concrete, Shuttering & Reinforcement, Finishes, P&M and 
MEP. After the training, they undergo NSDCI (National Skill 
Development Corporation of India) Board assessment, and 
are deployed at project sites accordingly.

Initiatives to strengthen the teams of sub-contract 
workmen have been taken. Periodic meetings were held 
to enable them understand benefits such as BOCW, PF, 
etc. Aadhar camps were held to facilitate registration / 
modification. Skill training was imparted through L&T’s 
in-house Construction Skills Training Institute. 

Risk and Concerns
The liquidity crunch has been prevailing in the real estate 
market for over a year, and many owners / developers 
are financially stressed. The Regulatory compliance by 
developers to arrange loans for projects is becoming 
stringent and therefore there has been a delay in financial 
closures / tie-ups by developers. To avoid any liquidity risk, 
robust screening of customer profiles and their liquidity 
position is undertaken before bidding for any construction 
contract as well as during execution.

Outlook
•  The Government’s continued focus on affordable housing 

and infrastructure development is expected to drive 

growth. The Government has provided ’infrastructure 
status’ to affordable housing. The relaxation in GST will 
help the sector to steadily improve in FY 2019-20.

•  Airport traffic growth in the country will necessitate 

airport expansion within the country. The Government’s 
plan of privatizing 6 major airports is in progress.

•  The Healthcare sector has been accorded ‘infrastructure 
status’. The Government is going to increase public 
health spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2025. 

•  The High-speed Railway projects – modernization of 

railway stations, the Ahmedabad – Mumbai High-speed 
rail and depots are expected to gain momentum in 
FY 2019-20. Government investment in educational 
institutions like IITs in various parts of India is likely to 
increase the prospect base.

•  With ‘Make in India’ gaining pace, the automobile, 

pharma and electronics industries are coming up with 
expansion plans. 

On international front, there are promising opportunities 
in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the GCC and Africa. The GCC 
countries are continuing to invest in infrastructure. Saudi 
Arabia’s development plan worth USD 53 bn (SAR200 bn), 
which is in line with the goals of Vision 2030, gives an 
optimistic outlook for business in this region.

The business has been proving its mettle repeatedly, and 
it is set to execute challenging projects in hand within 

176

prescribed timelines. With a positive market scenario, a 
healthy order book, amicable customer relationship, a 
highly talented employee pool and strong focus on making 
project sites highly digitised and automated, the business 
will continue to retain its position as market leader in the 
industry.

Overall, the environment is promising – yet challenging 
due to increased competition, long duration for procedural 
matters, slow fund allocation in government funded jobs 
and liquidity crunch and time taken to obtain statutory 
approvals in private jobs.

The business leverages its vast experience in project 
management, engineering design and construction 
management to achieve operational efficiency.

It has engineering design centres in Mumbai, 
Faridabad and Chennai. It also has Offshore 
Engineering Centres in Mumbai, besides area 
offices in India and the GCC countries. In addition, 
it has a Competency Development Center at 
Kancheepuram and a Workmen Training Centre 
at L&T’s Construction Skill Training Institute (CSTI), 
Ahmedabad.

Railway electrification by L&T on Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor

Rigid Overhead Contact System in Phase 3 Tunnel, Delhi Metro

The National Highway Network is to be expanded from 
96,000 km to 200,000 km over the 5-year period from 
2017 to 2022. The Government is also focused on 
developing a strong express highway network. Bharatmala 
Pariyojana Phase 1 has been launched in 2017 with some 
portion awarded. 

The year saw a significant number of smaller competitors 
emerging in the market, consequently intensifying the 
competition.

In FY 2018-19, major metropolitan airports began 
to undergo capacity enhancement. In addition, the 
Government continued to develop new airports by 
sanctioning the development of a new greenfield airport 
in Hirasar, Gujarat. The Prime Minister of India launched 
the construction of Navi Mumbai airport, and the bidding 
process is underway. 

Track renewal touched a record high of ~ 5,000 km for the 
year 2018-19. Railway electrification of ~ 5200 km (against 
the annual target of 6,000 km in 2018-19) was higher than 
last year’s 4100 km. Tendering commenced in MHSRCL 
for Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail project. A bid 
has been invited for one of the largest civil packages – a 
237 km viaduct on the Maharashtra-Gujarat border to 
Vadodara. 

The Metro Policy has been changed and it is now 
mandatory to adopt the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) 

mode to avail central assistance for new projects. Projects 
are being implemented on an EPC basis – a paradigm shift 
from the conventional BOQ methods.

It is envisaged to electrify the entire railway network by 
the year 2022. New projects, including port connectivity, 
dedicated rail links etc, are being implemented through 
SPVs owned by a State-Centre JV. Tendering for three new 
dedicated freight corridors is to be initiated in next 2-3 
years.

executing various projects, viz. the Delhi Metro U/G 
Electrification Package CE 08 (50 TKM), the Delhi Metro 
Track Package CT 11 (43 TKM) and the Lucknow Metro 
Electrification Package LKE 1 & 2 (51 TKM).

In the Dedicated Freight Corridor CTP 1 & 2 project, the 
business completed the trial run of a full-length goods train 
on the 664 TKM Rewari – Madar section. 

Significant Initiatives 
Extensive use of Project Management tools, such as TILOS, 
has resulted in efficient planning of complex mega projects 
and effective utilisation of P&M. L&T’s Railways business is 
at the forefront of the implementation of innovative digital 

The business has initiated cost-reduction measures by 
reducing external hiring of equipment through optimum 
resource utilization across sites. It has also optimized bulk 
material usage by focusing on wastage control and process 
optimization for bulk material reconciliation.

Digitalisation
Digitalisation has become an integral part of business 
processes. It has opened up new-age capabilities to 
measure, analyze and improve on business performance, 
and even necessitated new sets of operational indicators 
like actual productive hours (or vice versa) and operations 
for key productive equipment. Initiatives include:

•  Solutions for project monitoring through Procube (Mobile 

and Web combined application) 

•  Access of geospatial solutions through user-friendly 

portals for mapping topography, road layouts, project 
ROW, land status, obstruction management and linear

occupational hazards and led to improved quality and 
adherence to safe practices.

•  3D Machine Control System deployed on motor graders 

for automated control of its complex operation, doubling 
productivity and lowering manpower.

•  New-age digital solutions such as QT and the AI Chat 
Bot on Highway Engineering guidelines on Quality 
specifications

Environment, Health and Safety
During the year, the business won four International Safety 
awards, i.e. 2 Gold Awards and 1 Silver Award from RoSPA 
(Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) and a Pass 
certificate from British Safety Council (BSC).

It also won four prestigious safety awards from National 
Safety Council (NSC). The OPGC - MGR Railway Corridor 
project won the prestigious ‘Shreshtha Suraksha Puraskar’ 
(Silver Trophy) in the Construction sector for the year 2018, 
which is the second highest honour instituted by the NSC. 

Despite all the accolades, the business continues to face 
challenges in creating a high level of safety awareness 
across linear projects spanning hundreds of kilometres. To 
combat the challenges, SPARSH, the Augmented Reality 
(AR) Application on Golden Rules of Safety and Virtual 
Reality (VR) training modules, have been implemented. 
This has increased awareness on quality as well as on 

With its overarching safety framework, the business 
continues to progressively better the safety quotient of the 
projects it undertakes.

Human Resources
The business focussed on strengthening the base of the 
Organizational Pyramid and thus increased its intake of 
trainees and Front-Line Supervisors. 

Emphasis is laid on in-house training, with over 100 
in-house trainers. They constantly update their technical 
knowledge by attending seminars and conferences and 
also their teaching skills by attending the ‘Train the Trainer’ 
programmes that are organised regularly. 

A Chat Bot – QT has also been introduced to address 
queries that the employees may have regarding MoRTH 
specifications and IRC codes.

Risks and Concerns
The business spans multiple projects simultaneously, many 
of which are mega jobs. Infrastructure projects in general 
are dependent on numerous approvals and clearance, 
from authorities like the Government and local regulatory 
bodies. This includes land acquisitions, change orders, 
extension of time and schedule revisions.

180

First-in-India: Mechanized simultaneous stringing of conductors at 
Western Dedicated Freight Corridor 

Solapur-Sangareddy Road Project

Delays in these clearances from the authorities result in 
additional cost to the business.

Matters relating to change in legislation, approval of 
estimates for pre-construction activities and delay in 
detailed engineering lock up the resources of the business.

Outlook
The Government is aiming to spend close to R 7 lakh crore 
over the next five years to develop 83,677 km of roads, 
including the Bharat Mala Pariyojana worth R 5.4 lakh crore 
as the road sector is opening up. The Government aims to 
step up to its ambitious target of building 45 km of roads 
per day in FY 2020.

The Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) envisages that 100 
new airports will be built in the country over the next 10 
to 15 years. The DCA is also working on the cargo policy, 
which will provide a boost to the nation’s logistics capacity.

The development of various industrial development 
corridors identified across the country and the nodes 
that have been identified in these corridors have led to 
announcement of various city infrastructure development 
projects. Of the various corridors under development, the 
East Coast economic corridor has seen the Amaravati node 
under rapid development – with L&T currently executing 6 
projects and more phases expected. The Delhi – Mumbai 
Industrial Corridor is at an advanced stage, with multiple 

projects already awarded and with plenty more in the 
pipeline. Several other industrial corridors such as the 
Amritsar – Delhi – Kolkata Industrial Corridor and the 
Chennai – Bangalore Industrial Corridor are in the Detailed 
Project Report (DPR) stages.

The Indian Railways is planning its highest outlay of R 1.58 
lakh crore for FY 2019-20 – an increase of over 8% of last 
year outlay of R 1.46 lakh crore. 

After the Dedicated Freight Corridor projects, the High 
Speed Rail Project is the next big ticket opportunity, 
the business is positively looking at the start of 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, the L&T accessible 
value stands at R 59,000 crore, comprising packages for 
viaducts, undersea tunnels, stations, maintenance depots, 
track, electrification and signaling. L&T’s Railways business 
will focus on track, electrification and signaling and 
telecommunication. It is expected that all tenders for the 
MAHSR will be awarded in FY 2019-20.

Apart from MAHSR, the conventional projects of the 
Indian Railways continue to get a big thrust, backed by 
strong institutional funding like LIC. The Indian Railways is 
planning to tackle mainline capacity constraints through 
capacity augmentation (doubling and tripling) of ~5,000 
km in next three years, out of which ~2000 km is likely 
to be awarded under the EPC concept. Around 13,500

portion of these projects through EPC tendering. 

multilateral agencies in select countries of South Asia (Sri 
Lanka and Bangladesh), Africa and the Middle East.

All these projects provide good opportunities to the 
business.

India is well on its way to creating a world-class MRT 
system as an integral part of community infrastructure 
development across all metro and major Tier 1 and Tier 2 
cities. 

The upcoming RRTS (Regional Rapid Transit System) in NCR 
region provides significant opportunities in system works. 
NCRTC is implementing RRTS in three elevated corridors on 
priority basis:

•  Delhi – Ghaziabad – Meerut corridor of 90 km

•  Delhi – Gurgaon – Rewari – Alwar corridor of 180 km

•  Delhi – Sonpat – Panipat corridor of 111 km

As part of increasing the speed and safety of conventional 
high-density mixed corridors, there is a significant thrust 
towards European Train Control Systems – Level 2. In the 
first phase, the Indian Railways is installing ETCS level 2 on 
trial basis. This covers 4 sections of 640 RKM. A provision 
of R 77,192 crore has been made in FY 2018-19.

The Railways business is exploring opportunities in main 
line railway funded by the Indian line of credit and

Business Environment
With the continued thrust on achieving electrification 
of 100% households through a slew of Government 

190

Bringing light to 30,000+ villages across India

380 kV Switching Station, Saudi Arabia

schemes including ‘Saubhagya’, the distribution sector in 
India remained upbeat in FY 2018-19 as well. Ahead of 
the Assembly elections, electrification of more than 7 lakh 
households was completed on a war footing in UP, Bihar 
and Jharkhand.

In the domestic T&D space, investments were driven by 
State utilities, albeit through centrally sponsored schemes 
or multilateral funding. With the general lack of investment 
in conventional power generation and industry segments, 
the centrally-driven transmission schemes were less than 
the prevailing levels. States like Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya 
Pradesh, West Bengal, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have 
strengthened their intra-state transmission line networks 
and associated substations.

Converting HT and LT distribution lines into underground 
cables in cities and towns to improve the reliability of 
the network, especially in cyclone-prone coastal areas 
and industrial townships, provided ample opportunities 
to the business. Orders were awarded for strengthening 
distribution systems and feeder separation works under 
schemes like the Integrated Power Development Scheme.

Creating optical fiber networks for broadband connectivity 
of Gram Panchayats opened up interesting opportunities 
in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Rapid 
urbanization has led to investments in the expansion of 
metro projects across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. To ensure 
reliable power supply for sprawling urban agglomerations, 

substation networks are being strengthened along with 
associated transmission lines. One such example is the 400 
kV ring around Amaravati – the new capital city of Andhra 
Pradesh.

Despite the fact that the solar industry faced lower capacity 
addition in FY 2018-19 compared to the previous year in 
the face of safeguard duties and GST ambiguities, L&T’s 
solar business portfolio surpassed a cumulative capacity of 
2 GW. 

Several state governments have taken up rural 
electrification through solar rooftop systems. Such systems 
are also being installed on Government buildings, such 
as under West Bengal’s ‘Alo Shree’ scheme. The ‘Kusum’ 
scheme provides impetus to solar-powered irrigation 
systems. 

Construction opportunities in the neighbouring SAARC 
countries witnessed significant momentum. In the Middle 
East, though the macro-economic scenario was mixed 
in FY 2018-19, witnessing capex cuts and intensifying 
competition, L&T garnered a major portion of the 
opportunities that arose. Coupled with the re-entry into the 
132 kV cable segment, this augurs well for the business in 
a country where there are significant opportunities. 

In Kuwait, significant investments, such as township 
development, are witnessed. In Africa, the business has 
made an entry into Tanzania through a substation and 

191

transmission line of 220 kV, which augurs well for the 
strengthening of L&T’s position in Upper East Africa. 
Consolidating the breakthroughs achieved in countries 
forayed into, exploring renewable energy opportunities and 
opening up of select West African countries will hold the 
key to success in the coming year.

With on-schedule completion of the projects in Malaysia 
and Thailand, the business has demonstrated its capabilities 
and has won recognition in the ASEAN market.

Environment, Health and Safety
EHS practices in business are aligned with a corporate EHS 
policy that is strictly followed along with clear policies laid 
out at the business level as well. An external IMS audit by 
BVQI was completed and certification obtained. The EHS 
policy is supported by standard operating procedures (SOPs) 
at the business-unit level and the aim of ‘Zero Harm’ is 
cascaded down to the project level through various digital 
and technical initiatives as follows:

•  Virtual Reality initiatives: 

  u  Implemented Virtual Reality 9 modules in 9 languages 
for Transmission Line (TL) and Sub Station (SS) Business 
Units for workmen. 

  u  4 HTC Vive Virtual Reality Interactive training modules 
were developed in English and Hindi for frontline 
supervisors and staff at sites. 

•  EHS Mobile application: 10 modules were developed, 

including an EHS Observation Log to identify unsafe acts 
and condition and action taken. 

•  Various awards were received from and recognition 

accorded by international and national organizations like 
FICCI, RoSPA, BSC and NSC. Appreciation certificates 
were received from clients for implementing EHS 
management systems and achieving millions of safe 
man-hours. 

Human Resources
Committed to the development of its people, the business 
endeavours to create an ecosystem that addresses 
performance and contributes to its success. Employees are 
given opportunities to develop their skills and capabilities 
through on-the-job experience. These are supplemented by 
robust classroom programmes. The L&T Institute of Project 
Management and the Indian Institute of Technology, 
Madras have partnered to create bespoke programmes in 
Project Execution, Projects Management and Engineering 
& Design Management. These programmes implement the 
development plan through peer interaction, experiential 
learning, case studies and simulation and faculty 
intervention. 240 young managers underwent training in 
the IPM/IIT programme during the year. 

•  EHS Training & Awareness programme: A workshop 
was conducted for key project managers on effective 
implementation of EHS Management System process, 
Safety Challenges faced at site while implementing the 
EHS Management system and Learning and Knowledge 
on best practices followed. 

In keeping with the increasing presence in international 
markets, the business is building a cadre of young 
professionals drawn from various nationalities. The 
Graduate Engineer Trainee scheme was extended to Saudi 
Arabia, Kenya and Botswana and 30 trainees joined this

trainees from Egypt, Algeria, Thailand and Tanzania in the 
coming year.

Risks and Concerns
The diversification attempts by CPSUs like Power Grid and 
NTPC, logistical and design aspects, the general elections 
in Q1 of FY 2019-20, the financial health of state utilities 
and fund availability will remain key determinants for the 
business. 

In the Middle East, input costs are bound to increase with 
the introduction of VAT and removal of subsidies on fuel, 
power and water. Prioritization of spending / budgetary 
allocation, the friction between Qatar and other Gulf 
countries, the slowdown in Oman and related delays 
in project finalization are potential risks. With growing 
business opportunities and increasing contractual exposure 
to customers in domestic and international markets, 
efforts are being made to integrate a well-established risk 
management framework into business operations.

Outlook
In the substation business, the increasing cost of land 
acquisition related delays have led power grid / state 
utilities to increasingly opt for GIS substations due to the 
smaller footprint they occupy.

On the power distribution front, crucial issues remain – the 
centrally-driven scheme for last-mile connectivity and 

various distribution reforms projects 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. 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.

As the power transmission / transformation capacities to 
cater to the growing demand of urban centres increase, 
new opportunities will arise for EHV cabling projects in 
large cities. Grid integration of intermittent renewable 
energy and the emerging prospects of distributed 
generation require investments in power quality devices 
such as STATCOM and SVC to ensure voltage stability, 
reactive power compensation and reduction of harmonics. 

It is expected that the investments in higher voltage levels 
viz. 400kV & 765kV from state transmission utilities – 
including those affected by funding delays - will gather 
momentum. The delayed second phase orders of Green 
Energy Corridors are likely to be awarded in the coming 
year. The Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) space 
is witnessing consolidation with 2 to 3 major players in 
the fray. Increasing number of projects are likely to get 
allocated through TBCB mode.

Micro Grid Project for rural electrification, Bihar

The power supply system prospects for various metro 
projects are visible, especially in the Central and Western 
parts of the country. With an established presence in 
Nepal and Bangladesh, the business is better positioned 
to exploit the upcoming transmission line and substation 
opportunities in those countries.

The solar power market is poised to remain upbeat, 
with yearly solar capacity additions pursuing an upward 
trajectory. The private PPA market in select states is 
expected to pick up based on encouraging open-access 
policies and growing solar power viability. Clarity emerging 
on GST and duties will help the sector, with capacity 
addition of more than 10 GW of solar capacity in the 
coming year.

Advanced battery energy storage solutions will see a rise 
due to grid stability requirements and the need to electrify 
rural households. With upcoming state solar policies 
focusing on rooftop projects with net metering schemes, 
the prospects for the rooftop segment look positive. 
To harness solar power for rural India, the Government 
of India has formulated the ‘Kisan Urja Suraksha evam 
Utthaan Mahabhiyan’ (KUSUM) scheme, which aims at 
solarizing the agriculture sector through the ubiquitous use 
of solar power for tube wells and lift irrigation projects. 
Emerging areas like floatovoltaics and hybrid projects hold 
promise.

196

With a strong domestic solar portfolio backed by 
experience and expertise, the solar business is geared up to 
enter international markets as the renewable opportunities 
galore in countries where there is already an established 
presence in the T&D sector. 

In the Middle East, the business is cautiously optimistic in 
its outlook as oil prices are hovering in the lower ranges, 
commodity prices are fluctuating, fierce competition is 
faced and changes are being introduced in the customer 
organization / bid process (example: newly formed 
Department of Energy in Abu Dhabi). 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, 
growth in power distribution throughout the Middle East is 
expected to be fuelled by GCC grid formation, upgradation 
to higher voltage levels, integration of renewable energy 
sources to the existing power grid and interconnections of 
transmission networks. 

The business is concentrating on key African economies 
that have a clear road map to build a transmission 
and distribution network 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. The footholds gained in Algeria, Morocco and 
Egypt have grown stronger and the T&D space in these 
economies is vibrant with many opportunities.

The rising power demand in ASEAN countries paves the 
way for significant investments in grid interconnections, 
grid development and strengthening. With an increasing 
share in Thailand and Malaysia, the business expects to 
exploit potential in Myanmar and other countries of the 
region. With only 35% of the country connected to an 
overloaded grid, significant opportunities are seen in 
Myanmar, especially through bilateral / multilateral funding.

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

Human Resources
In view of fast growth, the business has been augmenting 
manpower resources. As part of the initiative to augment 
the strength of front-line supervisors, ITI trainees were 
inducted during the year and they are being trained 
through a 12-month intensive Front-Line Supervisors (FLS) 
Training Programme. 

During the year, the business launched several key 
development initiatives. The first batch of 21 participants 
successfully passed out of the Project Managers 
Development Programme (PMDP), a focused developmental 
intervention aiming at building a strong project leadership 
pipeline. C.R.E.A.T.E (Customer Relationship Enhancement 
by Augmented Training for Expertise) was launched in 
February 2019 with the aim of holistic augmentation of 
competencies related to business development related in 
identified participants. Currently, 21 staff members are 
attending Wave 1 of C.R.E.A.T.E.

The business has launched an e-learning course on its 
Quality Management Systems. The course is hosted on 
L&T’s e-learning platform ‘Any Time Learning’.

Risks and Concerns
The major risks for the business are delay in obtaining Right 
of Way (RoW), work front, approvals / clearances, volatility 
in commodity prices (mainly steel) and longer operation 
and maintenance periods. 

The business is adequately prepared to meet these 
challenges. It has a robust risk management framework to 
mitigate the risks by proactive monitoring, healthy client 
and supplier relationships, strategic tie-ups and digital 
initiatives and in-depth risk reviews during the pre-bid, 
execution and close out stage. The reviews involve all the 
key stakeholders, including project teams, business units 
and corporate teams, thereby ensuring early identification 
of key risks and consequently timely planning of the 
necessary mitigation measures.

Outlook
On the domestic front, water infrastructure will continue 
being integral to the sustenance and the well-being of the 
general populace. Consequently, the thrust to improve the 
water infrastructure in India will continue. Policy changes 
mandating the reuse of wastewater are also expected. 
Emerging prospects are envisaged in water management, 
ultra-mega STPs, micro irrigation, desalination, river 
interlinking and proposals to develop brownfield cities into 
smart infrastructure projects.

However, the general elections could delay the clearances, 
given the political expediency of poll promises like 
minimum basic income and farm loan waivers could also 
impact funding, affecting timely project deliveries in the 
forthcoming year.

Challenging competition is foreseen, as the business 
environment is populated by geographically restricted

capability building, giving the business an edge over the 
competition.

Risks and Concerns
The projects of the business are funded through Union 
budget and State budget allocations and do not 
pose a financial risk. Operational risks – such as short 
implementation period, deferred payment terms and 
stringent SLA requirements – are viewed by Master 
Service Integrator. However, adequate planning and 
stakeholder engagements mitigates delay in approvals from 
the competent authority. The business has centralised, 
dedicated support for all the operational projects for 
maintenance of SLAs. Due diligence on the stakeholders 
and adequate planning helps the business keep up with 
project timelines. Digital interventions at every stage 
of project implementation – right from planning to 
operations monitoring – helps the management to take 
appropriate action to pre-empt and overcome challenges. 
A strong team of technical experts at the project level and 
centralised support helps successful integration of the 
projects.

Outlook
FY 2019-20 looks promising for the business as more 
initiatives are being taken to make cities smart and safe, as 
well as digital initiatives in social sectors like E-shiksha and 
‘smart villages’ which are connected. 

206

The Government’s interest in the security and surveillance 
segment for the year 2020 remains a high priority. In areas 
of enhancing homeland security, Police Modernization has 
been provided a budget outlay of over R 3000 crore. City 
surveillance/Intelligent Traffic Management System projects 
are expected to come up in Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore.

Perimeter protection projects to protect the critical 
infrastructure of the nation and surveillance at railway 
stations and in coaches are expected to take off in 
FY 2019-20. 

The network spectrum for strengthening communication 
for the Indian Armed Forces is in the finalization stage.

The Government’s Smart Cities mission is expected to see 
ICT projects rollout in at least 25 smart cities with an outlay 
of R 5000 crore. The Government has plans to convert 
1 lakh villages into Digital Villages over the next five years. 
The IOT solutions implemented in the smart cities and the 
benefits derived from these systems to the urban citizens 
will be extended to the rural population

With the Government’s Smart Meter National Program to 
cut AT&C losses to below 12% by 2022, a special thrust on 
the roll-out of smart meter infrastructure is expected across 
multiple states. 

The Government has proposed to setup five lakh wi-fi 
hotspots which will provide broadband access to five crore

rural citizens and had provided R 6,000 crore in FY 2019-20 
for creation and augmentation of Telecom infrastructure. 

The roll-out of Network Infrastructure, under the Bharatnet 
scheme, of the balance states under the USOF funding is 
also expected. 

Technology will be the biggest driver in improving the 
quality of education and our foray into this social sector has 
begun with the Tamil Nadu High Tech Lab.

With the Government’s continuous interest in this sector 
and increased budgetary allocation year-on-year, the 
sector remains lucrative for investment, though faced with 
stiff competition. But L&T, with its experienced team and 
previous experience in executing complex technological 
projects, has an advantage in the market, and remains 
positive for the year 2020.

MEtALLURGICAL AND  
MAtERIAL HANDLING

Overview:
L&T’s Metallurgical and Material Handling (MMH) 
business offers complete EPC solutions for the 
metal (ferrous and non-ferrous) and bulk material 
handling sectors across the globe. The business

Business Environment
The steel sector witnessed inorganic growth during 
the year and is expected to provide momentum in new 
expansions. 

Major non-ferrous domestic players have firmed up their 
capacity expansion and investment plans, buoyed by 
steady base-metal prices and a spurt in domestic demand. 
However, during the year, the copper segment witnessed 
temporary turbulence due to heightened environmental 
concerns. 

A dry spell in private investment in the power sector 
continued during the year. In line with the Government 
of India’s Sagarmala initiative, major ports undertook 
investment in the mechanisation of dry bulk systems. 
Specialized conveying packages connecting mines 
and ports to end users have seen momentum during the 
year.

Coal India Limited (CIL)’s production fell marginally short of 
its target, despite registering higher growth in FY 2018-19, 
compared to the previous year. South Eastern Coalfields 
Ltd (SECL), one of the largest users of surface mining 
technology for excavation of coal, is considering surface 
mining of Kusmunda mines through the departmental 
route – a shift from its outsourced model. Other subsidiaries 
of CIL are also considering augmentation of their fleets of 
surface miners and crushers in FY 2019-20.

Cement sector growth was in line with industry 
expectations during the year, with a minor spurt in the 
demand in the second half of FY 2018-19. The demand 
for manufactured sand provided momentum for L&T’s 
advanced manufacturing systems across India, specifically in 
the western and southern regions.

The business environment in the Gulf region has become 
conducive to growth, supported by political stability in the 
region, the stabilization of oil prices and the emphasis of 
the local Governments on developing a non-oil economy.

Major Achievements
With the limited opportunities available during current year, 
business has managed to stay ahead of its competitors. 
Major orders booked are Lead-Zinc Beneficiation at RD 
Mines from Hindustan Zinc Limited, Alumina Refinery 
Expansion at Rayagada from Utkal Alumina International 
Limited and an Ash Handling Package at Patratu from

On the products side, the business has augmented its 
capability for in-house manufacturing of ship unloaders, 
with engineering and design support from foreign 
technologists.

The business lays much emphasis on EHS in order to 
achieve ‘Zero Harm’ in its operations. It implements EHS 
procedures, imparts EHS training and ensures review of site 
EHS standards by the leadership. 

The business is developing real-time monitoring systems for 
stockyard machines and wagon unloading systems through 
IOT and linked customized dashboards for optimum utility 
of the system for customers. Digital AI Weighment systems 
have been introduced at the Company’s Kancheepuram 
Works.

Digitalisation
In line with the Company’s overall philosophy, extensive 
thrust is placed upon digitalisation through multiple 
initiatives viz. Project Progress Monitoring, Connected 
Workforce and Assets, Material Tracking, Online Quality 
and Safety Monitoring and Integrated Engineering (3D and 
Building Information Modelling). 

Environment, Health and Safety
In line with our corporate EHS Policy, intensive efforts are 
made to integrate EHS with the management systems. 
While leadership commitment to EHS is demonstrated at 
all levels, concerted efforts are made to involve and engage 
every employee, including workmen, in the safety cultural 
transformation. 

The business has launched various programmes to achieve 
the outcomes set by the EHS management system. 
Initiatives taken up during FY2018-19 include:

•  Successful completion of certification audit for ISO 

45001:2018 (new standard) and recertification audit for 
ISO 14001:2015.

•  Enhanced EHS monitoring and reporting capabilities 
using various digital tools such as EHS Observation, 
Permit to Work (PTW), Safety Task Assignment, EHS 
Violation Memo, SOSC (Safety Observation and Safety 
Contact), FIRI (First Information Report of Incident), 
Rigging Permit, etc.

•  A high level of management commitment is 

demonstrated by deployment of competent Rigging 
Engineers at site and restricting crane loading to 75% of 
the rated capacity to ensure safe material handling at all 
sites. 

•  Effective competency building programmes for site 

teams, such as Scaffold Competency (certified by STI-
USA) for line teams, IOSH – Managing Safely certification,

NEBOSH IGC courses, Internal EHS Auditor course, EHS 
Lead Auditor course, Online EHS certification courses, 
etc. 

•  Various awards and accolades have been received by the 
business in recognition of its efforts, from Ministry of 
Labour and Employment, FICCI, CII and customers.

Human Resources
Interventions to advance the skill levels of employees 
were implemented through a string of strategic and 
leadership-based training programmes, both technical and 
behavioural, at offices and at various sites. These initiatives 
will enhance organisational capabilities and produce leaders 
to meet the emerging challenges on all fronts and ensure 
that the organization is future ready. 

Risks and Concerns
The volatility in steel prices in the domestic market and 
LME base metal prices will be a concern in the year ahead. 
Post-election domestic policy deliberation by the new 
Government may make a significant impact on business 
investments.

Outlook
The demand for metals such as steel, copper, aluminium 
and zinc will continue to be driven by the Government’s 
emphasis on infrastructure – urbanisation, roads and 

210

highways, housing and Dedicated Freight Corridors, the 
auction of mine / mine linkages, the Sagarmala initiative 
combined with synergized policy implementation between 
State and Centre and the rise in automotive production. 
This will create lucrative business opportunities in greenfield 
expansions by producers. 

The FDI limit in the mining and exploration of metal and 
non-metal ores has been increased to 100% under the 
automatic route, giving a significant boost to the sector. 
In FY 2019-20, prospects are envisaged in the domestic 
cement sector, with capacity additions / augmentation 
being planned by major players to order core equipment 
and products. The steel sector is expected to witness 
moderate brownfield expansion, with a thrust on 
debottlenecking plant capacity and asset synchronization 
to achieve higher operational efficiencies of the newly 
acquired assets.

Base metal sector companies are on overdrive, with 
investments in new expansions. The aluminium sector is 
expected to be bullish on value-added downstream product 
lines, despite issues like mine allocation, volatile LME prices 
and high global Inventory. Copper investment is attracting 
stringent environmental scrutiny, although it is expected to 
witness significant investment to correct the import-export 
imbalance. The zinc and lead sectors are doing well and 
expect a good run in the coming year.

Implementation of the Ministry of Environment & Forest 
(MOEF) notifications and the Sagarmala initiative by 
Ministry of Shipping will lead to considerable prospects in 
dry bottom ash systems, pipe conveyors, dry bulk terminals 
in ports and mechanization of iron ore and bauxite through 
environment-friendly solutions.

Steady growth in the product business is expected, owing 
to medium-to-high growth in core industrial sectors, 
particularly cement, coal mines and construction. Sand 
mining from river beds is banned due to environmental 
reasons, and consequently the user-friendly sand 
manufacturing machine will find extensive use in 
construction. The business has already established a 
leadership position.

On the domestic front, the business continues to 
experience challenges, such as delayed decisions of new-
capacity additions in the steel sector, muted investment in 
the power sector, delays in land acquisition and clearances 
from the Ministry of Environment & Forests, which may 
further accentuate due to general elections in first quarter 
of FY 2019-20, resulting in delayed decisions.

Key opportunities are emerging in the GCC (especially 
Saudi Arabia), Egypt, Zambia and South Africa for alumina, 
zinc and copper smelters, pellet beneficiation and specialty 
areas such as port handling and freight handling packages. 
However, some amount of negative impact is expected 
to arise from customer preference for the EPCM option 
rather than EPC route for big projects in the international 
segment.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     POWER BUSINESS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

POWER  
BUSINESS

Overview:
L&T’s Power business is one of the leading EPC 
players in India that is known to deliver ‘design 
to commission’ business solutions for the thermal 
power Industry. 

Building on its core competencies, the business 
has swiftly built the necessary capabilities and 
undertaken projects in newly-emerging technologies 
in the thermal power plant industry, like Flue Gas

L&t Sargent & Lundy, a joint venture with Sargent 
& Lundy LLC, USA which is engaged in the business 
of providing design, engineering and project 
management services for power sector.

Business Environment
In the current year, the power industry witnessed a spurt in 
ordering for FGDs. Installation of FGD systems in existing 
and upcoming thermal power plants has been made 
mandatory by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and 
climate Change, (MOEFCC), Government of India to curtail 
SO2 emissions. The Central Government has taken the lead 
in ordering of FGD systems while power plants in the state 
and private sector have started floating tenders, which 
would ensure ordering in the upcoming financial year. 

It is estimated that the total installed capacity where FGD is 
to be installed stands at around 156 GW involving 430 FGD 
units. The business sees enormous potential in this area 
and is geared to undertake more such jobs on an EPC basis. 
The business also has the right combination of technology 
capabilities namely CT-121 from the world-renowned 
Chiyoda Corporation, Japan and its own in-house capability 
in engineering and project management, giving it a 
competitive edge. 

In the mainstream of EPC jobs in coal based projects, 
India saw very low ordering this financial year. The tender 
pipeline had practically dried up and most of the tenders 

have been deferred to next year. The power sector 
continues to face challenges like availability of funds, low 
plant load factor, financial stress, load balancing, coal 
and water availability issues, payment assurances, etc. 
Further, muted demand from the private sector and excess 
manufacturing capacity of suppliers continues to put 
pressure on EPC prices. 

Major Achievements 
Following are some of the major achievements by the 
business during the year:

•  Achieved Commercial Operations Date for the 1st unit in 

a project in Madhya Pradesh 

•  Achieved completion of Performance Guarantee test in a 

project in Rajasthan. 

•  Gas Turbine Generator synchronization for a Bangladesh

ensured that the factory at Hazira operated at almost full 
utilization.

Significant Initiatives
During the year, the business has taken a few initiatives 
like implementation of business excellence model, cost 
optimization and vendor profiling among others. 

With the help of leading consultants, the business has 
focused on reducing its direct and indirect cost to strive for 
cost leadership. 

Digitalisation
In the area of digitisation, the business has implemented 
various IT driven processes like IOT technology deployment 
on various plants and machineries at site to improve its 
machine utilization, work density in different zones, health 
of machines and their duty cycles,

Other initiatives like GPS tracking of moving vehicles like 
pick and carry cranes, trucks, tipper and trailers to improve 
efficiency and Virtual Reality to improve safety conditions 
at sites, Hawk-Eye (cloud based solution) for project 
monitoring and use of drones for site survey are at various 
stages of implementation. 

Environment, Health and Safety
The business considers safety as an integral part of 
its operations, on par with time and cost factors. The 

business believes that ‘safety’ is the differentiator between 
L&T and other organisations. It has now moved to next 
level of safety implementation by embracing the digital 
environment for a safer workplace. Embracing initiatives 
like Virtual Reality to improve the safety conditions at 
sites is one such example. The various other initiatives like 
safety campaigns, observing ‘safety month’ and varied 
programmes at sites reaffirm the business commitment 
towards a robust safety management system.

Human Resources
Emphasis on training and development of the workforce 
has been the focus area. The business realizes the 
importance of talent preservation and has implemented 
various initiatives like Promoting Perpetual Leadership 
(PROPEL) for grooming of its talent. This includes 
competency building programs for leadership development 
to make them ready for next level, and various other 
engagement programs like Instant Motivation for 
Praiseworthy Actions (IMPACT) awards to motivate 
and sustain employees who showcased above average 
commitment. 

Risks and Concerns
Despite an increasing focus on renewable energy, the 
business is confident that coal will continue to be the 
mainstay of the domestic power sector for providing 
stable, reliable and robust base load power supply and will 
continue to offer sustained market opportunities. 

214

Supercritical turbine being manufactured at Hazira, Gujarat

3x660 MW Koradi Thermal Power Plant,  Maharashtra

Excess manufacturing capacity, however will continue 
to drive the prices aggressively and would reflect in the 
financials of EPC players. 

Outlook
Looking ahead, the business is confident of a revival of 
capacity addition in the thermal power sector to match 
projected rise in demand for power, in line with projected 
economic growth in the country.

Coal fired stations will continue to be in demand as it 
would ensure stable power and provide peaking power 
requirements and ensure a balanced grid.

The business anticipates growth in power demand, which 
would require capacity addition and enhancement in 
the areas of generation, transmission and distribution. 
Due to anticipated demand, the business sees a market 
opportunity of around 7GW in next year for coal based 
thermal power plant business.

The business sees around 40 GW of ordering in FGD 
systems in the next year, and opportunities in the 
replacement market. 

The Government has an ambitious plan to increase the 
nuclear power production to 23 GW by 2031 from the 

current level of 7GW. The business sees large value 
opportunities in this segment. It is gearing up in terms 
of manufacturing capability and procuring the requisite 
technology to produce turbines of 700 MW capacity 
relating to PHWR nuclear power plants. 

The Business is also taking the necessary steps to make 
itself a serious player to undertake STG island contracts in 
PHWR nuclear based Power Plants. 

Gas based plants are not expected to revive in India soon. 
The business continues to focus in markets outside India 
for gas based power plants. The target countries are 
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, GCC countries. The 
business has taken steps to strengthen its presence in the 
Middle East to encash available opportunities in this sector. 

The L&T-MHPS Boiler JV is looking forward to encashing 
upcoming opportunities in the domestic market and 
will continue to explore business opportunities in the 
international market for direct export orders. In addition, 
the Company is looking forward to gaining a foothold in 
the Selective Catalytic Reduction system market in India 
which is likely to open up in the second half of FY 2019-20.

Business Environment
The Business witnessed a spurt in the demand for 
equipment for the Oil & Gas sector (Downstream) in FY 19, 
mainly due to stable oil prices and the implementation of 
Marine Pollution norms i.e. IMO 2020. The investments by 
Oil Public Sector Undertakings are currently underway to 
comply with the BS-VI clean fuel standards. 

The fertilizer industry saw limited growth in terms of energy 
saving projects viz. Kribhco Fertilizer and Indo Gulf Fertilizer, 
while the nuclear business was impacted by delay in the 
procurement of fleet orders. 

Competition from European and other Indian fabricators 
continues to be fierce. Korean, Japanese and European 
companies are getting preference due to ECA (Export 
Credit Agency) financing requirements, prevalent mainly in 
Europe. Surplus capacities and limited demand has resulted 
in aggressive competition, putting extensive pressure on 
pricing and deliveries. 

Major Achievements
During the year, the business experienced a spurt in order 
inflows with major orders being received in the Oil & Gas 
sector for critical reactors, coke drums, slug catchers, LNG 
equipment, Ethylene Oxide reactors, mainly for projects in 
the Middle East, China and USA. The LTSSHF JV received an 

order for supply of steam generator forgings for 6 units to 
be set up in ‘fleet’ mode.

Major projects under execution are Atmospheric Residue 
Desulfurization (ARDS) reactors for ADNOC Refinery in 
UAE, steam generators for Gorakhpur Haryana Anu Vidyut 
Pariyojana (GHAVP) Unit -1& 2 for NPCIL and Hydrocracker 
Unit Reactors in Duqm Oman.

Significant Initiatives
The business has focused on operational excellence 
initiatives to deal with the challenging market scenario and 
to enhance its competitiveness further. Major initiatives 
include – On Time Delivery, First Time Right Work Culture, 
Talent Management and Organization Excellence. These 
initiatives have contributed to significant improvement in 
increasing our speed in manufacturing and enhanced our 
capabilities further. 

Digitalisation
Digitalisation has been identified as a key driver for 
improving quality and productivity. Several digitalisation 
projects for improving monitoring of projects and resources, 
and creating dashboards have been taken up by the 
business. The Product & Technology Development Centre 
supports the business units to develop new products and 
manufacturing technologies.

Environment, Health and Safety
The Heavy Engineering business has maintained high 
standards of Occupational Health and Safety, and several 
initiatives like Reported Safety Concerns, EHS Awareness 
and Training sessions, and Theme Based Inspections are 
undertaken to provide a safe and healthy workspace 
for employees, customers and other stakeholders. The 
rigorous implementation of various processes has resulted 
in a YoY improvement in the business’ safety performance 
parameters. 

Human Resources
The Business has built a committed and experienced team 
of professionals, and adopted various policies and initiatives 
in order to sustain healthy employee relations, professional 
development and employee engagement. A cultural 
transformation through a combination of the Performance 
Management System, mentoring and digitalisation remains 
the key driver of these initiatives. These initiatives are 
communicated to all employees through various forums 
like SAMVAAD-2018. For nurturing new generation leaders 
and Talent Development, mentoring of key talents by senior 
leaders was initiated. Long Service Awards, Team Building 
Workshops, non-monetary recognition events, etc., are 
periodically undertaken to enhance employee motivation 
levels.

Risks and Concerns
The Business has a complete Risk Management framework 
in place in line with the Corporate Risk Management 
Policy. This ensures a structured review of all the projects 
at appropriate levels and across the entire life cycle of 
projects. The framework includes detailed review and 
monitoring of various risk factors like financial risk, currency 
and commodity risks, schedule and capacity risk, client and 
supplier related risks, country clearance, technological and 
scale challenges, among others. The risks are mitigated 
through regular reviews and implementation of appropriate 
risk mitigation measures. This framework has helped the 
Heavy Engineering business to maintain a healthy order 
book and ensure that there are no material weaknesses.

Outlook
Signs of a global economic slowdown and general elections 
held in Q1 of FY 2019-20 may result in reduced demand 
for heavy engineering equipment in the first half of FY 
2019-20. Increasingly, customers are adopting strategies 
like reverse auction and qualifying new suppliers. This 
is resulting in further competitive pressures. On the 
domestic front, companies are striving to build references 
through technology tie ups with European and Japanese 
manufacturers. 

218

8 ARDS Reactors (7000 MT) ready for delivery to RAPID Project, Malaysia

The second half is likely to provide Nuclear Fleet 
procurement opportunities (700 MWe PHWR projects). 
The domestic Refinery sector is likely to show a revival of 
the Capex cycle from Oil PSUs (IOCL, HPCL, CPCL and 
BPCL). Emergence of new refineries (RRPL- Ratnagiri, and 
HRRL- Barmer) and overall business expansion due to FDI 
inflows will provide avenues for the equipment business in 
Q4 FY20 / FY21. In the Fertilizer sector, major opportunities 
are expected from Talcher Fertilizers Limited.

With the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) clearing the 
proposal for the GOI’s investment in 10 domestic nuclear 
power plant reactors (10X700MWe) through bulk ordering 
in May 2017, new opportunities have been opened up 
for LTSSHF. NPCIL has also initiated the process for the 
procurement of critical equipment/ components like end-
shield stainless steel plates and forgings for pressurizers and 
Breed Cooler Condenser (BCD) for these 10 units.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     DEFENCE BUSINESS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

DEFENCE 
BUSINESS

Overview:
The defence, aerospace and shipbuilding businesses 
of the Company have been integrated into a 
separate vertical, L&T Defence Engineering, for 
segment reporting. The business has been engaged 
in conceptual design-to-realisation-to-delivery of 
equipment, systems, solutions and platforms across 
chosen defence segments, from surveillance to 
strike capabilities, this vertical also provides through-
life support for the systems supplied by them. The 
portfolio encompasses engineering equipment and 
systems ranging from propulsion systems to enable 
mobility, logistic solutions to naval & land platforms 
such as warships, submarines and armoured 
systems. The Company’s defence solutions span the 
value chain from building platforms and systems to 
through-life support in a unified manner.

L&T has been active in the defence and strategic 
sector since the mid-80s, by associating with the 
Defence Research & Development Organisation 
(DRDO) and naval indigenisation programs - well 
ahead of the opening up of the sector for private 
Industry participation. At that time, the defence 
initiatives focussed partnering DRDO Laboratories in 
the design and prototype development of complex 
weapon systems. It also focussed on the design, 
development, qualification and delivery of special 
purpose engineering equipment for naval platforms 

220

MRSAM Mobile Launcher System 

being built by MoD shipyards and under DRDO 
programs. 

Over the years, the business portfolio grew in 
scale and maturity to include indigenous design, 
development, industrialization and serial production 
of a range of naval and land weapon launch and 
engineering systems, fire control systems, missiles 
and space launch vehicle subsystems, radar systems 
and sensors, military communication systems and 
avionics. This evolutionary journey has led to the 
development of capabilities in design, engineering 
and construction of naval platforms (submarines 
and warships) and armoured systems. 

The operations span across two R&D centres, three 
Design & Engineering Centres and production 
centres at nine locations spread across India to serve 
the defence and aerospace sectors. These include: 

•  Submarine Hull-building Facility, Hazira 

•  Armoured Systems Complex at Hazira for 
manufacturing, integration and testing of 
armoured systems 

•  Precision Manufacturing and Systems Complex, 

Coimbatore for aerospace and missile 
manufacturing

•  Advanced Composites facilities at Vadodara and 

Coimbatore

•  Strategic Electronics Centre at Bangalore

•  Marine Switchgear and Control Systems, Navi 

Mumbai, 

•  A modern shipyard at Kattupalli, near Chennai 

•  A facility at Vizag under the Government Owned 

Contractor Operated (GOCO) model for a 
Strategic Program

•  R&D Centres at Powai and Bangalore for targeted 

product, systems and technologies

•  Design and Engineering Centres at Powai and 

Chennai for warship, submarine and weapon and 
engineering equipment 

The Defence Business is structured into two business 
groups:

1.  Defence and Aerospace
2.  Defence Shipbuilding

1.  Defence and Aerospace
  Over the years, the Defence and Aerospace (D&A) 

business has built a portfolio spanning a wide range 
of indigenous products, systems, solutions, platforms 
and technologies. This has been achieved through 
in-house efforts as well as by teaming up with DRDO 
and participation in the Indian Navy’s indigenisation 
program for realisation of defence systems within the 

country. Till date, the D&A strategic business group 
has indigenously developed more than 250 defence 
products and over 50 of them have been industrialised 
and delivered in serial production mode. 

The business model is uniquely differentiated 
with a focus on in-house technology and product 
development, with innovation at the core of our 
offerings. This is augmented by our mature and 
equitable partnerships with global majors, to maintain 
our market lead position in an environment where the 
Government is aggressively pursuing an indigenisation 
agenda while most indigenous players are dependent 
on ToT model to pursue defence production. The 
business thus continues investing in R&D to develop 
new age technologies and products such as unmanned 
systems (all four segments), robotics, additive 
manufacturing (3D printing) and artificial intelligence.

The D&A group also has a Joint Venture (JV) with 
MBDA, a global leader in missiles and missile systems. 
The JV is well positioned to indigenously offer advanced 
missile systems to the Indian Armed Forces. 

2.  Defence Shipbuilding

L&T’s Shipbuilding offers end-to-end solutions 
for design, construction and through-life support 
for defence platforms. L&T operates two defence 
shipyards – one at Hazira Manufacturing Complex 
and another greenfield mega shipyard at Kattupalli, 

221

 
 
 
 
 
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     DEFENCE BUSINESS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

L&T built Offshore Patrol Vessels help the Indian Coast Guard keep our shores safe 

near Chennai. Located across a sprawling 900-acre 
complex, the Kattupalli Shipyard is India’s largest yard, 
designed in-house and built to globally benchmarked 
technological practices. Dedicated design centres for 
warships and submarines are equipped with latest 
integrated 3D design, analysis, virtual reality and 
Product Lifecycle Management tools, interfaced with 
project management and ERP systems on one hand and 
production machinery in the workshops, in line with 
global best practices. This is the only yard in India with 
Industry 4.0 practices in place and pursuing modular 
construction based on indigenous solutions.

The Shipyard has been largely engaged in New Build 
and refits / repairs of defence ships of the Indian Navy 
and Indian Coast Guard. The Shipyard, since 2010, has 
designed, constructed and delivered 50 Defence Vessels 
which include a Floating Dock (Navy), Interceptor Boats 
and Offshore Patrol Vessels (Coast Guard) in record 
time. The unique capability of the business to achieve 
on-time or ahead of contractual delivery, performance 
in all the contracts for Defence Vessels is a benchmark 
in itself for the Indian Shipbuilding Industry to emulate. 

Business Environment
Over the last five years, the Government of India, in 
its quest to boost defence manufacturing, has taken 
substantive steps to ease licensing in defence, promote 
exports, preferential categorization of acquisition in favour 

of indigenisation of defence systems, accelerating process 
of Acceptance of Necessity and RFPs and encouraging 
private sector participation in the defence sector. The intent 
of the Government to achieve higher indigenization and 
self-reliance is visible in the latest policy measures such as 
Strategic Partnership, simplified Make II procedure, defence 
corridors in Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh and the draft 
Defence Production Policy. Defence procurement policies 
and procedures continue to evolve with earnest and 
positive impetus towards ‘Make in India’. 

While various policy initiatives are in the right direction, 
the challenge resides in time-bound implementation, 
convergent and concurrent actions. While the GoI has 
taken steps to ensure ease of doing business by issuing a 
series of amendments to DPP under 4 rounds of Business 
Process Restructuring initiatives and also addressed many 
issues to grant a level playing field, the concerns of private 
sector remain unaddressed as Defence PSUs are still being 
preferred for key programs in the pipeline, based on earlier 
decisions. With these earnest efforts by the Government, 
the stage is set to leverage indigenous capabilities and 
infrastructure created by L&T across domains and segments 
over years to come.

Major Achievements
•  Delivery and commissioning of the 1st Indian Weapon 

System, for a foreign Navy is a significant breakthrough 
for L&T

•  Significant weapons systems delivered included K-9 

Vajra Howitzers, Pinaka MRLS, BM21, Akash Air Defence 
Systems – many of which were displayed at the Republic 
Day Parade 

•  Delivery of multiple weapon launch systems (land and 
naval), engineering systems and missile systems to the 
Indian Armed forces

•  Announcement on operationalization of deterrence 

patrol by INS Arihant by our Honourable Prime Minister – 
testimony to the platform’s build quality 

•  Handover of three Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) to 

Indian Coast Guard – all ahead of schedule. 

•  Benchmark-setting delivery: OPV-1 was the first 

First-in-Class ship since 1963 to be delivered within the 
contracted schedule 

•  Ahead-of-schedule deliveries of Interceptor Boats (IBs) to 

Indian Coast Guard (8 boats in FY 19) 

New Orders 
•  Supply of 10m short span bridges received from MoD.

•  Order from MBDA France for MICA missile rear section 

and launcher integration.

Significant Initiatives
In addition to the focus on defence manufacturing to serve 
the Indian Armed Forces, direct exports are being targeted 
as an additional engine for growth. 

L&T has been working closely with DPSUs over the 
years and the relationship was taken to the next level by 
signing MoUs with BEL and BEML. This will aid L&T and 
the partners to target specific programs and explore new 
opportunities for both domestic and international markets. 

Besides having a strong focus on R&D, digitalisation to 
enhance productivity, building synergy across work centres 
and business sustainability, the business is also working on 
strengthening partnerships to explore and target newer 
markets. During the year, a new facility for production of 
Armoured Systems was created in L&T’s Hazira Complex 
with ‘Industry 4.0’ set-up, which has already started rolling 
out K9 Vajra-T Howitzers. The business, in its association 
with DRDO in development of indigenous systems made 
marked contributions to 17 of the 20 systems for which 
DRDO conducted successful launch trials during the year, 
by supplying critical systems such as Launchers, Fire Control 
Systems, Stabilisation Systems, Missile Airframes, etc. 

Digitalisation
The digitalisation journey for the business dates back to the 
late eighties with progressive implementation of Computer 

223

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     DEFENCE BUSINESS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

L&T has made a vital contribution to India’s first nuclear -powered submarine 

Aided Design, 3D modelling, Walkthroughs, Virtual Reality, 
Digital Manufacturing techniques, Laser based Metrology, 
Integration, etc. These techniques have been applied 
across the value chain from digital design through platform 
manufacturing and system integration. In recent years, the 
business embarked upon utilising Industry 4.0 technologies 
to make operations efficient and stay ahead of delivery 
schedules all the times. The business has initiated IoT 
implementation in manufacturing centres to add a new 
edge to operational efficiencies. While a range of digital 
initiatives have already been implemented, many more are 
in the implementation phase. 

Environment, Health and Safety
The business has displayed exemplary performance on 
safety track record across work centres and customer 
locations and also at Business Partners premises. The 
awards won by Powai and Kattupalli work centres 
accentuate the resolve for championing safety as our 
core value. The business continued to focus on the triple 
bottom line and green initiatives and achieved significant 
y-o-y reduction in water and energy consumption, keeping 
sustainability in mind. The Miyawaki forest development 
project at Talegaon unit has been a unique success story for 
many to emulate. This has already become natural habitat 
for fauna, migratory birds, peacocks, etc.

Image for representational purposes only

Human Resources
HR initiatives have been aligned to the overall business 
strategy by focussing on identifying and grooming high 
potential talent, critical for having a competitive advantage 
through various management and leadership programmes. 
The business has implemented a Technology Leadership 
Programme to maintain its market leadership position and 
continue to focus on development of niche technologies. 
Attention to leadership and talent development continues 
as a business imperative. Further, with renewed emphasis, 
the business has embarked on an employee engagement 
initiative to retain, grow talent and continue to be an 
employer of choice.

Risks and Concerns
The defence sector as a whole, exhibits a cyclical nature 
in terms of business growth opportunities. In L&T’s case, a 
bouquet of products across segments, developed through 
in-house efforts, has ensured that the risk is limited to 
deferment of orders. The impact of diversion of funds to 
social spending ahead of the Lok Sabha elections and GST 
reimbursements to OEMs may impact the project awards 
and progress. 

Outlook
Defence Business 
The Defence Production Policy awaiting final clearance by 
the Government has set clear targets for the quantum of 

224

Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle designed and built by L&T 

L&T has provided systems for most of India’s space missions - including those to the 
moon and Mars

defence production, both domestic and exports by 2025. 
The policy explicitly lists 13 segments for which indigenous 
capability will be built and imports will be disallowed. This 
augurs well with the industry to develop capabilities and 
capacities over a mid to long-term basis. The company has 
already been working in capability and capacity building in 
many of these segments and has a proven track record in 
many of them.

Since 2014, programs worth more than R 4.5 Lakh crores 
have been cleared for acquisition with 2/3rd of them 
categorised for Indigenous acquisition. The Private Sector 
has been allowed to compete for more than 50% of the 
programs categorised as indigenous acquisition – a major 
change compared to preceding five years, when it was 
below 5%. 

The defence production market shows promise of 
significant pick-up in the medium to long term as the 
Government implements some of the policy initiatives still 
in the pipeline. The Indian Navy’s aggressive fleet expansion 
plan, combined with the ‘Make in India’ initiative of 
the Government provides wider opportunities to Indian 
shipyards for construction of warships and submarines for 
defence forces. 

Aerospace Business 
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has started 
working on its ambitious plan of Gaganyaan 2022 and 
has also initiated actions to involve the industry in Launch 
Vehicle Integration which is likely to create sizeable 
opportunities. In-line with this, L&T and HAL have signed 
a consortium agreement to produce the complete launch 
vehicle for ISRO.

The strategic partnership policy has been created to bring 
in private sector participation in addition to the production 
lines of the DPSUs for manufacturing defence platforms 
within the country. During the year, two programs have 
been approved for procurement under SP viz. Naval Utility 
Helicopters (NUH) and Program 75(I) for construction of 
Conventional AIP Submarines indigenously. While, the EoI 
for NUH program has been released for Indian and Foreign 
OEMs in FY 2018-19, the same is expected for P75(I) in 
the first quarter of FY 2019-20. L&T, having been a vital 
contributor for indigenous production with experience 
across segments, is well placed to be a Strategic Partner to 
the Government of India and indigenously build platforms 
that were earlier fully imported or assembled with 
dominating import content.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     ELECtRICAL & AUtOMAtION BUSINESS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

Air-insulated Switchgear 

In order to reduce AT&C (Aggregate Technical & 
Commercial) losses, the Government has launched a 
scheme to convert all energy meters to smart prepaid 
meters. This bodes well for the metering business of 
the Company. Revision in agricultural MSP, targeted 
improvement of farmers income and other such 
initiatives have led to increased demand. The business 
has seen improved prospects from industries like textiles, 
Infrastructure and from Government-funded schemes like 
DDUJY and IPDS. Growth opportunities have arisen from 
segments such as affordable housing, airports, renewable 
energy, hospitals, educational institutions, data centres and 
telecom.

The trade war between the US and China and the Brexit 
chaos pose risks at the global level. However, the Indian 
economy continues to move from strength to strength and 
reap the benefits of the economic slowdown in China.

Cues of pick-up in Malaysia can be seen, while Gulf 
countries continue to be sluggish, with no sign of revival 
in sight. However, the swinging oil prices and plans for 
expansion in this space have led to increased capex outlay 
in GCC countries like the UAE, Kuwait and Iraq.

Environment, Health and Safety
Energy conservation remained a major focus area in 
FY 2018-19 across all manufacturing locations. Various 
initiatives undertaken have saved total energy of 
2392491 kWh. Notable conservation initiatives across all 
manufacturing locations include the use of LED lights, 
optimum temperature setting for ACs, installation of solar 
panels to reduce conventional energy consumption and 
the implementation of energy-saving options on CNC 
machines. 

Regarding safety, seven Lost Time Incidents were reported 
during the year from different project sites and factories 
of the business. There were no accidents reported at the 
Mahape, Ahmednagar, Coimbatore and Mysuru locations. 
The business has increased safety training man-hours. 
During the year, it spent 88% more man-hours in training 
in comparison with the last financial year. This has 
resulted in higher safety awareness among employees and 
consequently fewer Near-Miss Incidents in the year. 

Human Resources
The sustained focus on employee development and 
engagement complements consistent business results. 
Enhanced workforce productivity is testament to innovative 
HR initiatives implemented year after year. The unique 
leadership development framework of STEP initiatives equip 
managers with the necessary leadership competencies 

required at different managerial levels. The business’s 
ability to scale-up operations through the right talent mix 
as well as to provide an eco-system conducive to high 
performance, reflects a robust engagement matrix.

Engagement frameworks on Rewards & Recognition (R&R) 
including Annual Awards and My-Day-My-Way stand out 
amongst the most popular and widely recognised initiatives 
across the business. Beyond engagement outcome and 
predictors, several human capital initiatives are designed to 
suit the business’s strategy.

Risks and Concerns
Some parts of the businesses such as Meters, Control 
& Automation projects and supply of products to 
utilities are dependent on Government contracts and the 
stability of the Government’s policies is essential to its 
growth. This risk is mitigated by an attempt to diversify the 
customer base. 

Private sector investments are also a driver for the business’s 
growth. Political and policy stability will, in turn, determine 
private sector growth. Any instability is a risk to the 
business and mitigation is again being attempted through a 
focus on products in emerging technologies, such as solar, 
in which projects are likely to be relatively Government and 
policy-agnostic.

The increasing barriers to imports in some of the GCC 
countries resulting from an emphasis on local content 
and presence poses a challenge. Country-specific business 
models to deal with local legislation in this regard are 
being mooted to mitigate this risk. The oil & gas industry 
is a major customer for the business across geographies. 
Investment in this space is directly related to the stability 
of oil prices. A more balanced customer base with 
increased focus on new technologies, i.e., renewables and 
infrastructure, are mitigation approaches. 

Outlook
GDP growth in India is expected to be at around 7% and 
CPI & WPI Inflation remained subdued. To fuel industrial 
growth, RBI announced rate cuts with a focus on improving 
credit and liquidity.

Significant opportunities will be provided to the business by 
new infrastructure, public transport systems, airports and 
support to renewable energy. Government programmes 

like UDAY, Smart Cities, Smart Grid, Pradhan Mantri Krishi 
Sinchayee Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi 
Yojana, Digital Villages, India’s Electric Vehicles mission 
and increased focus on renewable energy will provide new 
opportunities for the business. 

Opportunities in the GCC region will emerge from the 
impetus to large renewable energy projects, the creation 
of new urban infrastructure and an increased focus on 
automation across sectors, notably in oil & gas. Growth in 
Africa is also expected to increase and the presence of the 
business in select geographies will be beneficial.

During the early part of FY19, L&T entered into a 
definitive agreement with M/s Schneider Electric, a French 
multinational company, to divest its Electrical & Automation 
business in line with the Company’s policy to exit non-core 
businesses, subject to approvals from regulatory authorities. 
The Competition Commission of India in its letter dated 
April 18, 2019 has accorded approval, subject to certain 
amendments the details of which are awaited.

Business Environment
FY 2018-19 witnessed fluctuating commodity as well as 
currency markets. Oil prices exhibited significant volatility 
with Brent crude price soaring to USD 86 per barrel in 
early October 2018 and subsequently nosediving to a 
low of USD 51 in December 2018. However, the business 
environment in the Middle East for oil & gas projects is 
quite buoyant, with large-scale projects under various 
stages of development. There are now visible signs of 
higher capital expenditure in both Onshore and Offshore 
businesses.

Saudi Arabia has reported a rise in oil and gas reserves 
up to 268.5 billion barrels. Abu Dhabi has passed an 
AED 132 Bn budget for the next 5 years, with increased 
focus on gas production, unconventional and new 
developments. Also, ADNOC is allowing more international 
companies to independently mine for oil & gas. However, 
localisation content and value norms in the GCC countries 
are becoming intense, with significant weightage given 
while awarding projects.

Indian refineries are in a healthier financial position due 
to higher refining margins and a lower subsidy burden. 

234

LTB 300, a pipelay-cum-work barge undertaking offshore installation

Significant investments are planned by PSUs in the 
debottlenecking of existing assets, expansion of existing 
refineries and integrating refineries with petrochemical 
complexes.

The Government has its focus on the LNG Infrastructure. 
Consequently, it has slashed the import duty from 5% 
to 2.5%. Also, enhanced oil and gas recoveries are 
subsidized by the Government for royalties. The Indian 
market is becoming increasingly attractive to international 
competitors, with India’s ambitious plan to enhance its 
refining capacity by 2030.

Consolidation continues in the industry as service providers 
seek to create value through integrated offerings to clients. 
Intensity in competition is increasing by the day, with the 
prevalence of predatory pricing among service providers.

and operational. 

The Company’s risk management policy and guidelines 
have enabled it to create a consistent set of standard tools 
and templates, incorporating global best practices and 
procedures. This enables the Company to build the ability 
to anticipate challenges and opportunities in order to 
achieve its strategic objectives. 

Outlook
US oil production is expected to grow by around 1.2 million 
barrels per day in 2019, and will be balanced by production 
cuts by OPEC countries and their allies. Oil prices are 
expected to be range-bound around USD 60 to 70 per 
barrel during FY 2019-20.

India will be Asia’s fastest-growing economy in the next 
four years i.e. 2019-23. Oil demand in India is growing at 
CAGR of about 4.5%. The gas energy mix is expected to 
shift from the current level of 6.5% to about 15% by 2022. 
India is planning to double its annual gas production to 60 
BCM by 2022. The Government of India is incentivizing 
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects. Also, India has an 
ambitious plan to enhance its refining capacity from about 
248 MMTPA to about 438 MMTPA by 2030. 

The Indian Government is keen on India’s becoming a gas-
based economy. This will provide significant opportunities 
for LNG import terminals and gas pipelines. India is the 
fourth largest LNG importer in the world. LNG imports 
into the country accounted for about one-fourth of total 
gas demand, which is estimated to double over the next 
five years. The Government of India aims to increase the 
use of biofuels / alternative fuels to cut its oil import bill 
by 10% by 2022 and plans to build 2-G ethanol plants 
using agricultural residue. The Company is well poised to 
undertake execution of these 2-G ethanol plants and is 
gearing up for other Waste-to-Value projects. This serves as 
a significant opportunity to the business in upcoming years.

During the year, 55 oil and gas exploration areas were 
awarded under the first round of Open Acreage Licensing 
Policy (OALP). The Government has auctioned an additional 
14 blocks in the second round and 23 blocks in the third 
round. ONGC is also planning to invest USD 3 billion to 
explore ultra-deepwater fields in Cluster 3 on the east coast 
of India. E&P activities are also picking up in Vietnam and 
Myanmar.

Refinery capacity additions of about 17 MMTPA along 
with petrochemical integration are planned in FY 2019-
20. Deregulation of fuel prices is encouraging overseas 
companies to invest in retail and refinery projects. India’s 
domestic polymer demand is growing at about 8.5% per 
annum and India is currently the net importer of polymers.

The widening demand- supply gap for petrochemicals, 
coupled with enhanced returns for integrating 
petrochemical complexes vis-à-vis standalone refinery, is 
driving the integrated refinery and petrochemical complex 
model. 

There is increasing thrust on modularization to reduce site 
presence. Modular Fabrication and AdVENT businesses 
are aggressively exploring alternative product lines as well 
as strategic partnerships to enhance yard utilisation and 
provide integrated modular solutions. 

In the international arena, GCC region and Algeria will 
see higher outlays for gas, downstream and petrochemical 
projects. 

Saudi Aramco plans to invest over USD 140 Bn in oil, 
gas and petrochemical projects over the next five to six 
years. The UAE is planning a USD 36 Bn spend over the 
next five years, with a focus on gas production. Kuwait is 
also diversifying into the petrochemicals segment and has 
announced a USD 115 Bn investment plan, roughly divided 
equally between the upstream and downstream sectors. 
Qatar is planning to invest to USD 5 Bn in the offshore 
sector to increase its LNG Liquefaction Capacity to 100 
MMTPA. These prospects will provide significant business 
opportunities for the Company in the region. 

Algeria has plans to invest about USD 55 Bn in the next 
5 years. The recent breakthrough in Algeria will open up 
significant opportunities for the Company to leverage its 
modular fabrication capabilities.

Shale gas / oil will continue to drive petrochemical and 
LNG liquefaction investments in the US, which will offer 
opportunities for high value engineering and modular 
fabrication services.

On the other hand, competition intensity is expected 
to remain high with predatory pricing, especially by 
competitors with large underutilised assets. Also, clients 
are expecting EPC contractors to share the benefit of value 
addition over the tenure of the project.

However, the business is confident of maintaining its credo 
of being cost-competitive and ensuring on-time delivery 
of large, critical and complex projects, worldwide. The 
business will accomplish this by virtue of its customer 
focus and responsiveness, sustenance of experienced and 
highly skilled human resources, world-class Quality and 
HSE practices, a culture of excellence, distinctiveness in 
corporate governance, extensive IT-enabled processes, 
digitalisation and state-of-the-art IT security practices.

topped the list of ‘Challengers’ in the Everest Group’s PEAK 
MatrixTM Service Provider of the Year 2019, for the second 
year in a row. The Challengers List includes companies with 
revenues less than USD 2 billion. 

Human Resources
LTI crossed the milestone of having more than 25,000 
employees during FY19. Hiring, engaging, retaining talent 

244

with gender diversity continues to be the major focus areas 
for LTI. As a talent and innovation driven organisation, LTI’s 
top priority is attracting the best people and investing to 
further develop their highly specialized skills. Strengthening 
the commitment to nurture the biggest asset - People, LTI 
started an HR transformation initiative - Mission Ubuntu. 
This initiative is steered by a cross-functional taskforce to 
enhance every aspect of employees’ work-life through 
policy intervention and process improvement. Mission 
Ubuntu sketches an employee’s journey through LTI as a 
nine-step process starting from his/ her onboarding. 

LTI has also institutionalized five key beliefs across the 
organization:

• Be agile • Go the extra mile • Push frontiers of innovation 
• Keep learning • Solve for society

These five guiding principles have helped the employees to 
be nimble towards changes, work beyond the call of duty 
to serve its clients and innovate on a day-to-day basis to 
transform the approach to work.

Risks and Concerns
Failure to align the services portfolio with newer and 
in-demand technologies, may lead to lower operating 

revenue. Evolving geo political and economic conditions 
may affect the client’s business and/or the entity’s delivery. 
This may impact the business opportunities and business 
operations. Changes in immigration policies of countries 
where LTI has significant business may affect ability to 
position consultants at client locations. 

With a majority of the revenue being foreign currency 
denominated, the business carries translation and 
transaction foreign exchange risks. However, expenses in 
respective currencies provide a natural hedge. 

Employees are the real assets for the IT industry. In order 
to compete effectively, the ability of the business to attract 
and retain qualified employees is critical. Attrition of 
experienced and talented employees impacts organisational 
knowledge and relationships. 

Outlook
A healthy deal pipeline, continued large deal momentum 
and uptick in digital services across all verticals gives a sense 
of optimism for future growth. With deep-rooted industry 
experience and one of the industry’s most dynamic teams, 
LTI is well positioned to solidify its position as next-gen IT 
services Company.

Risks and Concerns
Economic slowdown in key geographies or cyclical 
downturns in key segments could materially affect the 
revenue growth and profitability. Changing immigration 
laws and policies can impact the Company’s ability to 
provide services to customers. Exchange rate fluctuations 
could materially impact the results of operations.

Outlook 
An interplay of digital and ER&D with increased industry 
focus on emerging technologies including Artificial 
Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Machine to 
Machine (M2M) communication, Augmented Reality (AR) / 
Virtual Reality (VR), 5G, Cyber Security, Advanced Robotics, 
Mobile Applications and Blockchain are finding use-cases 
across verticals and are enabling companies to discover 
new revenue streams, while strengthening existing ones 
and serving the customers with much higher operational 
efficiency.

Essentially, the growth in the ER&D ecosystem will be 
driven by a convergence of emerging technologies and 
business model innovations, along with the growth 
of technology enterprises and start-ups constituting a 
dynamic global engineering ecosystem. This will be in an 
environment replete with strict data protection directives, 
increasing instances of cyber terrorism and the rising need 
for cloud-based cybersecurity solutions among enterprises. 

LTTS aspires towards industry-leading, innovation-led 
profitable growth.

FINANCIAL 
SERVICES 
BUSINESS

Overview:
L&T Finance Holdings (LTFH) is one of the leading 
private non-banking financial services companies 
in India. The businesses are Rural Finance, 
Housing Finance, Wholesale Finance, Investment 
Management and Wealth Management. L&T 
Finance Holdings Ltd. is a NSE and BSE listed 
company and is also registered with RBI as an NBFC 
and a Core Investment Company (CIC). It conducts 
its financial services businesses through various 
subsidiaries. L&T Financial Services (LTFS) is the 
brand name of L&T Finance Holdings Ltd.

Functionally, the structure of the Financial Services 
business is as follows:

•  Rural Finance comprising Farm Equipment 

Finance, Two-wheeler Finance and Micro Loans

•  Wholesale Finance comprising Infrastructure 

Finance, Structured Corporate Finance and Debt 
& Capital Market

•  Housing Finance comprising Home Loans & LAP 

and Real Estate Finance

•  Mutual Funds

•  Wealth Management

254

Farm Equipment Finance

Business Environment
India’s GDP is estimated to have grown by 7% in FY 
2018-19 on the back of lower growth in agriculture and 
mining sectors, lower Government spending on public 
administration and weaknesses in domestic and external 
demand conditions. However, the gross fixed capital 
formation rate improved from 31.4% in FY18 to 32.3% 
in FY19, reflecting a good pick up in investment spending, 
and bodes well for the financial services industry.

The Indian economy faced a slew of challenges 
around mid-FY19 from the external front triggered 
by a sharp increase in global Brent price, which led to 
a sharp depreciation in the Rupee, along with other 
emerging market currencies. Around the same time, 
the debt defaults by the IL&FS group triggered a crisis 
of confidence for the NBFC sector – a critical source of 
finance for the real estate sector. The AAA rated NBFCs 
with a strong promoter and shareholder backing and 
proactive economic intelligence and risk management 
units withstood volatile market conditions without hurting 
core operations – L&T Finance being one of them. 

During the year, the various segments of business 
performed under the stated business environment:

Farm equipment finance growth was led by record growth 
in the tractor industry. Increased urbanisation, sustained 

Two-wheeler finance

Providing micro-loans to small-scale entrepreneurs 

focus on road infrastructure development and increasing 
fuel prices pushed consumers towards two-wheelers 
during the year, resulting in an increase in two-wheeler 
finance. Increase in micro loans on the back of increasing 
penetration in existing geographies and opening of new 
geographies. 

In the Wholesale Finance segment, the disbursements 
were focused on Infrastructure Financing, especially 
in Renewables and Roads and kept in line with the 
opportunities available for Sell-down. This enabled the 
Company to maintain the wholesale book around the 
same level and move towards increased retailisation of the 
balance sheet.

Disbursement registered a growth in home loans while 
de-growth in the Real Estate sector. The real estate sector 
stabilised based on the implementation of regulatory 
frameworks (RERA, GST reforms) leading to price 
stabilisation. 

FY19 remained a challenging year for the Wealth 
Management industry. Market volatility coupled with a 
reduction in MF fees on account of regulatory measures 
impacted the business in the short term. 

Significant Initiatives 
FY19 has been a landmark year for the business, marked 
by the effective execution of the strategy put in place. The 
specific focus for the year was on the following areas:

a)  Improved competitive position across all products

Being in the ‘Right Businesses’ forms an important 
part of the strategy, in which 5 core businesses were 
identified by the Company. The core businesses were 
identified based on a 3-filtered approach – industry 
attractiveness, company profitability and our ability to 
extract value from it. 

b)  Established fees as a second line of income to 

counter interest rate cycle

  As a hedge against interest rate cycles, the Company 
has established ‘fees’ as a second line of income. Fee 
income generation happens through various modes 
such as processing fees, subvention income, cross 
selling income, advisory fees and underwriting fees 
among others. 

c)  Increased ‘Retailisation’ of balance sheet

The Company is focusing on building a well-diversified 
book. Strong sell-down capabilities have helped the 
Company to limit the wholesale book growth without 
slowing down the business. 

d)  Digital initiatives and data analytics used to 

unlock RoE

In the field of digital and data analytics, the Company 
primarily concentrates on optimising credit cost, 
collection cost and productivity rather than just focusing 

255

 
 
 
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     FINANCIAL SERVICES BUSINESS     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

Housing Finance

Real Estate Finance

on more commonly talked about areas like cross-selling 
or customer acquisition. The Company believes in using 
the power of data to provide a strategic competitive 
advantage, improve productivity and enhance 
performance. 

e)  Strengthening balance sheet with improved asset 
quality, increase in provision coverage ratio (PCR) 
and maintaining macro-prudential provisions

  We believe that true greatness is achieved by a 

Company only by having a low Sigma, which means 
minimising the variability of returns, along with 
earnings and growth. A strong risk management 
framework, improving portfolio quality and 
continuously improving PCR are important contributors 
to achieve a low Sigma.

f)  Robust ALM Framework

The Company is comfortably placed with respect to 
both liquidity and interest rate risks, due to its robust 
ALM and strong risk management framework. The 
Company enjoys positive gaps in both Structural 
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity. In addition to this, 
a positive gap was maintained consistently even under 
‘1 in 10’ stress scenario in the 1-month bucket.

Major Achievements
LTFH increased its market share in Farm Equipment 
Finance from 12.5% to 14% in FY19. Through rigorous 
execution of digital propositions on the ground and domain 
expertise, LTFH has been able to increase its market share 
in Two-Wheeler Finance from 8.2% to 11%. With the 
implementation of 100% automated credit decision, LTFH 
has been able to improve collection efficiencies and reduce 
NPAs. With this clear strategy in place, LTFH has enhanced 
the disbursements in Farm Equipment and Two-Wheeler 
Finance by 19% and 67% respectively. Similarly, the Farm 
Equipment and Two-Wheeler Finance book has grown by 
27% and 68% respectively through increased penetration 
in the identified branches.

In Micro Loans, LTFH has been able to increase 
disbursements by 51% and book by 60% during the year. 
This was on the back of increasing penetration in existing 
geographies and opening of new geographies in existing 
states and new states such as Jharkhand and Tripura. 
New states entered in the previous year and this year have 
contributed 28% to the business during the last quarter. 
An increase in business has been achieved with improved 
collection efforts and a reduction in debtors YOY. This has 
resulted in regular collection efficiency being brought back 
to pre-demonetisation levels.

256

 
Wholesale Finance

A wide range of Mutual Funds to suit every investment need 

With tightening of liquidity, the business saw lower growth 
in the Order Book for Infrastructure Financing and a decline 
in the Asset Book for Structured Corporate Finance. During 
the year, the Company started building a Government 
Securities (G-Sec) book which will also act as a low-cost 
liquidity reservoir in adverse market conditions. 

The Company focuses on the Home Loan market with an 
emphasis on direct sourcing of salaried customers through 
developer relations and an analytics led sourcing model. 
Our digital lending model of paperless sanction of home 
loans to salaried customers is a unique offering that has 
helped in quick turnaround of proposals. During the NBFC 
crisis in FY19, the Company has continued to support real 
estate projects funded by us, while selectively sourcing 
new business. In the Mutual Fund business, the AUM of 
the Company increased by 13% to R 69,689 crore during 
FY19 as against R 61,603 crore in FY18. The Wealth 
management business increased its focus on Dubai, where 
the yield on the assets is higher and serves as a natural 
hedge to the India business.

Human Resources
In its journey to create value sustainably by delivering 
top quartile ROE, the Human Resources function of L&T 
Financial Services has ensured that employees at all levels 
are aligned to this objective through effective performance 

management and a two-way communication processes. 
Our culture of ‘results and not reasons’ is instrumental in 
driving accountability and clarity across the organisation. 
The focus is to simultaneously build the capability of 
employees so that they can be held accountable. Building 
capability of employees will enable the organisation to 
achieve sustainable and long-lasting success. 

Environment, Health and Safety
LTFH aligns its social responsibility theme and commitment 
with the United Nation’s global development agenda of 
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The core areas 
of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) 
and Digital Financial Inclusion are designed to ensure 
sustainable livelihood opportunities with the intent to 
bring the deserving but vulnerable population into the 
mainstream economy. IWRM programme engages with 
the communities and more specifically farmers and 
implement interventions which address their core needs 
in water and soil health management. Climate change is 
leading to increasing incidents of natural disasters in India. 
The business supports disaster recovery efforts through 
a number of practical methods. These include prompt 
affected area assessments and a provision for immediate 
relief. The business considers safety as an integral part of its 
business operations and due importance has been given to 
maintaining safety standards.

Risks and Concerns
Restrictive regulatory prescriptions for the NBFC sector 
not accompanied with the reforms of the long-term bond 
market may adversely impact the profitability of a set of 
mid-sized NBFCs and HFCs (housing finance companies) 
with possible negative implications for India’s financial 
sector’s stability.

However, with the help of in-depth business knowledge 
and strong managerial capabilities, deep market 
penetration, risk mitigation through various market and 
credit checks, robust early warning systems, extensive use 
of analytics and best in class turnaround time proposition, 
the business is confident of managing the hazards of 
adverse business conditions.

At this juncture, there are several uncertainties that cloud 
India’s growth outlook and macroeconomic stability during 
FY20. The investment spend may get impacted due to 
faltering growth impacting India’s trade balance, political 
uncertainties due to upcoming general elections, in case of 
Brent crude price resurging, fiscal slippages, etc.

Outlook 
Several global forecasters including the International 
Monetary Fund have lowered their projections for global 

economic growth in 2019 from a year earlier on the back 
of ongoing trade frictions, tightening of financial conditions 
and the Brexit related uncertainties. Global slowdown, tight 
financial conditions and political uncertainty in the election 
year may impact India’s GDP growth during FY20. Past 
experience shows that India’s growth mix remains skewed 
towards consumption and away from investment during 
the General Election year. Financial markets and capital 
inflows too may witness heightened volatility during FY20. 
Moreover, the new political regime is likely to follow fiscal 
prudence in H2, FY20, which may adversely impact public 
investments and growth in the latter part of the year. 

On the positive side, retail (CPI) inflation is projected 
by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to remain below 4% up 
to December, 2019. This should enable the Monetary 
Policy Committee of RBI to implement an easy monetary 
policy during a major part of FY20. Additionally, the RBI’s 
continued purchase of Government bonds (open market 
operations), recent recapitalisation of Public Sector Banks 
(PSBs), release of five PSBs from the Prompt Corrective 
Action Framework (PCA) and the ongoing resolution of 
chronic stressed asset cases through IBC should remain 
supportive of the lending environment.

Partnership (PPP) model of development in India, 
which involves the development of infrastructure 
projects by private sector players in partnership 
with the Central and State Governments. Since its 
inception in 2001, the Company has completed 
landmark infrastructure projects across key 
sectors like roads, bridges, transmission lines, 
ports, airports, renewable energy and urban 
infrastructure. It is one of India’s largest road 
developers, as measured by lane kilometers under 
concession agreements signed with Union and 
State Government authorities.

Currently its portfolio includes 10 operational road

Two decades of extensive experience in working 
with Governments, multi-lateral agencies, 
international and domestic financial institutions 
and corporate entities has helped the Company 
to develop proven competencies in Viability 
Assessment, Financial Closure, Project Management, 
Operations & Maintenance and Portfolio 
Management of Infrastructure Assets across various 
sectors.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) 
made substantial financial investments in L&T IDPL 
in two investment tranches during 2014-15. This 
is the first direct private investment by the largest 
Canadian pension fund into an Indian Infrastructure 
Development company.

Business Environment
transportation Sector
The Government of India has provided a strong thrust to 
the Infrastructure sector and specifically to the highway 
sector, in the last Union Budget. The ambitious Bharatmala 
Programme has been approved for providing seamless 
connectivity to develop about 35000 km in Phase-I at an 
estimated cost of R 5,35,000 crore. A significant slice of 
these projects is expected to be bid out under the Hybrid 
Annuity Model (HAM), which would be of interest to the 
company. 

260

transmission Lines
After the Kudgi transmission line in Karnataka, the 
company participated in two new bids.

There is substantial opportunity in new transmission lines 
coming up since generating capacity is increasing, especially 
from renewable sources. The National Committee has fast-
tracked power evacuation system for the green corridor 
for renewable energy in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Business 
opportunities in transmission lines of approximately 
R 30000 crore are also available from system strengthening 
of networks and power evacuation from generators to the 
grid. Based on the National Committee’s recommendation, 
currently REC and PFC have come out with 9 bids for 
transmission lines under the ‘Green Corridor’ programme. 
Furthermore, 3 bids have been cleared by the National 
Committee for Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. 

Major Developments
toll Collections and Operations
The total gross income from toll collections in 10 toll road 
subsidiaries (excluding the five subsidiaries transferred to 
InvIT) moved up by 23% over the previous financial year. 
This includes both traffic growth and annual revision of 
tariff. 

In NHAI projects managed by the Company (including InvIT 
projects), gross income from toll collections increased by 

An elevated road corridor decongests the bustling metropolis of Nashik

12% while Electronic Toll Collection (FASTag) increased by 
66% over the previous period. Currently, over a quarter 
of all tolls are being collected under FASTag electronic toll 
collection. 

Kudgi transmission Line
The project faced a force majeure event in May 2018 when 
5 of the 1162 towers collapsed due to unprecedented 
strong winds at Bannigola village in Karnataka. No one 
was injured during the event. The in-house team restored 
the towers and ensured power flow in a record time of 33 
days. Except for this one-off situation, the project continues 
to perform well.

Major Achievements
During the year 2018-19, L&T IDPL monetized 5 of its road 
operational projects by selling its stake to an Infrastructure 
Investment Trust (IndInfravit Trust) set up by the Company 
as a sponsor. The said Trust was successfully listed with an 
issuance of units aggregating to R 3700 crore, of which 
15% is held by the Company. The other large investors 
of this first privately placed Trust are pension funds from 
Canada (CPPIB and OMERS holding approx. 30% and 
22% of the units, respectively) and Allianz Capital Partners, 
Germany, a large global insurance group, holding 25%.

One of the road subsidiaries received a favourable 
arbitration award from the Arbitration Tribunal for a 

change of scope claim. In another subsidiary, a settlement 
agreement was reached with NHAI on a project terminated 
in 2016, thereby relieving the lenders of a stressed asset. 

Significant Initiatives
International investment for Indian infrastructure assets was 
attracted through the Company- sponsored Infrastructure 
Investment Trust InVIT - the first on a private placement 
basis.

Asset Monitoring Systems for structures and highways 
of operating projects is underway, which will help in 
inventorying and monitoring of assets.

Digitalisation
•  Rapid increase in FASTag electronic toll collection was 
made possible by streamlining our digital equipment 
at toll plazas. This has led to faster throughput of 
vehicles at toll plazas and reduced queues. It has also 
led to a less-cash operation. The Company has worked 
collaboratively with NHAI and other stakeholders to 
minimize reconciliation issues in FASTag collections.

•  Highway route operation, maintenance and equipment 

function has been mobile enabled.

•  To monitor the FASTag traffic/revenue, the data is being 
pulled through API from the acquiring bank and the 
process is fully automated. 

Environment, Health and Safety
The Company and its subsidiaries are committed to 
providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees 
and stakeholders and to conserving the environment. EHS is 
one of the essential pillars of a good and robust corporate 
governance structure. 

To achieve the Company’s stated EHS objectives, the 
following key initiatives have been implemented. 

•  31 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been 

formulated to:

  n  define individual responsibilities and procedures 

relating to environmental, health and safety matters

  n  incorporate EHS considerations in all business processes

•  Digitisation of the records and review all accidents, 
occupational health and safety related incidents by 

262

adopting a system called Route Operations Management 
System (ROMS) and reporting immediately to the 
concerned project head and functional head in the form 
of Preliminary Accident Information Report (PAIR) and 
Final Accident Information Report (FAIR). 

•  Monitoring to ensure that the employees avail of the 
medical check-up facility for themselves and their 
families.

The Company’s Interstate Road Corridor SPV received the 
Silver Award for Excellence in Highway Safety from the 
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

Human Resources
Employees are the backbone of the organisation. The 
HR Team concentrates on certain key areas, including 
recruitment of some of the best talent in the market 
and keeping them engaged by providing access to 
learning opportunities, Development Centres, challenging 
business assignments, and individual need-based specific 
development interventions. 

The Development Centre is a systematic and objective 
method to measure competence to provide insights into 
the strengths and development areas of individuals. 
Employees attended a fair mix of training on technical and 
behavioural programmes during the period in review.

Outlook
L&T IDPL would constantly evaluate new opportunities with 
worthwhile returns. The business sees major opportunities 
in the transmission line sector and also the roads sector 
under the Hybrid Annuity Model. The InvIT is expected to 
look at the secondary market for operational and revenue 
generating projects. 

L&t MEtRO RAIL (HYDERABAD) 
LIMItED

Overview:
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&TMRHL), 
incorporated in August 2010, is a special purpose 
vehicle to undertake, construct, operate and 
maintain the Metro Rail System, including Transit 
Oriented Development (TOD), in Hyderabad under 
Public Private Partnership model on a Design, Build, 
Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis. It is 
the largest TOD in India and the world’s largest 
PPP project in the urban transportation sector. The 
Company entered into a Concession Agreement 
with the erstwhile Government of Andhra Pradesh 
on 04.09.2010. 

The Metro Rail system is in Phase I, which includes 
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. This entire distance 
is further sub-divided into 6 stages for ease of 
implementation. 

The concession period of the project is 35 years 
from the appointed date of July 5, 2012, and 
includes the initial construction period of 5 years. 
The concession period is extendable for a further 
period of 25 years subject to the fulfilment of 
certain conditions by the L&TMRHL as set out in the 
Concession Agreement. 

The Concession Agreement includes rights for Real 
Estate development of 18.5 million sq. ft., with 
strategically located land parcels interspersed at 
prime city locations, adjoining metro stations and 
metro corridors. 

The Company has tied up the entire debt for the 
project, which includes the cost of the rail system, 
and 6 million sq. ft. TOD, and achieved financial 
closure on 1st March 2011.

The progress of the project as of March 2019 is as 
follows: -

•   Stage 1, 2 and 3 were operationalized in 

November 2017 itself. Commercial operations of 
16 km (from Ameerpet to LB Nagar) of Stage 5

increase in loan period. 

•   Construction work in remaining part of Stage 4 
(Hi-Tec City to Raidurg) in Corridor 3 and stage 
6 (JBS to MGBS) forming part of Corridor 2 are 
proceeding at a brisk pace, and is expected to 
commence commercial operations during first half 
of the FY 2019-20. 

•   The TOD Project at Errum Manzil Mall (0.35 

million sq. ft.) commenced commercial 
operations from August 2018. Musarambagh 
mall (0.24 million sq. ft.) is expected to 
commence commercial operations in April 2019. 
Construction work (0.5 million sq. ft. of office 
space) at Raidurg Site is underway. 

Business Environment
About 10 million transport trips are performed every day 
in Hyderabad city, and a major share is undertaken by bus 

264

transport (50%). The city’s roads are congested with 8% 
road area, and traffic proceeds at the very low average 
speed of about 12 kmph. The Company is poised to 
provide safe and punctual travel and has been working on 
various value-added initiatives to minimize the commuters’ 
pain points, such as last-mile connectivity, digital ticketing, 
mobile apps, etc., which ensures higher ridership to the 
metro system.

Establishing successful last-mile connectivity is a challenge 
and discussions with the Government are in progress to 
intensify steps to this end. 

Significant Initiatives
•   The Company is exploring various non-fare revenue 

generating options, viz.: 

  u  Leasing out space for erecting mobile towers

  u  Skywalks connecting to malls and metros

Environment, Health and Safety
L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited considers Environment, 
Health and Safety as an integral part of its business 
philosophy. The management of LTMRHL is committed 
to conserving the environment and providing a safe and 
healthy workplace. 

•  The metro system provides a welcome relief from the 
heavy air pollution caused by the growing number of 
vehicles and the congestion on roads. 

•  It operates on electric systems, thereby curbing emissions. 

•  Sound pollution will be minimal, thanks to the efficiency 
of the coaches and the advanced engineering that has 

Safety Features
-  Hyderabad Metro rail trains run on Automatic Train 
Operation (ATO) mode with an Automatic Train 
Protection (ATP) System that continuously monitors and 
ensures safe train operations. 

-  All vital train-borne equipment, the Station Equipment 
(computer-based interlocking (CBI) and wayside ATP), 
and vital signalling equipment are highly safe, and 
back-ups are available to ensure safe and uninterrupted 
train operation.

-   Passenger emergency stop plungers are provided on 

each platform and in the Station Control Room (SCR) to 
stop a train immediately in case of emergency.

Human Resources
The Company has introduced employee-focused initiatives 
during current year:

•  Launch of voice-enabled BOT called LISA (LTMRHL 

Interactive Service Application) for employees of LTMRHL 
to enable resolution of service requirements

•  Launch of LnT (Leaders of new Tomorrow) – An idea 

incubation programme to inculcate the start-up mindset 
amongst the employees

A two-lane road transformed into a 6-lane highway 

•  Implementation of Project Parivartan – Competency 
Development Programme (a pilot project, based on 
heuristic study, to inculcate habit of using the e-learning 
platform in a classroom atmosphere)

Risks and Concerns
With progress achieved, the construction risk by way of 
non-availability of required Right of Way (RoW) and delay 
in approvals from Railways is mitigated to a large extent, 
except for one stage. The operational risks of safety of 
commuters and assets and alternative modes of transport 
are addressed by having a robust in-house team to check 
the safety measures and holding discussions with nodal 
agencies of alternative modes of transport to work in a 
complementary manner. 

Outlook
•  Overall ridership expected to increase to approximate 10 
lakhs per day on the opening of stages 4/2 and 6/1 in FY 
2019-20, thus taking the total metro operations to 66 
km. For the balance 5.5 km of stage 6/2, Right-of-Way 
clearance is yet to come from the Government.

  The Government of Telangana has plans to implement 
Phase II of Metro project covering 85 km (including 
the airport link). This will significantly enhance average 
ridership due to the network effect.

•  The Company intends to begin a large integrated 

development at Raidurg with a potential to develop 3.5 
million sq. ft. comprising retail and grade A office space.

2 x 700 MW Rajpura Thermal Power Plant, Punjab 

Nabha Power Limited (NPL)
The Company has Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with 
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) for selling 
all the power generated from this plant for a period of 
twenty-five years. The plant is built on the supercritical 
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 the 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 
Bhakra-Nangal distributary is the perennial source of water 
for the plant under an allocation by the State Government. 
The plant is operated by an in-house team of experienced 
operations and maintenance professionals.

The power plant has been running successfully for over 
five years with an availability of over 85% during FY19. 
NPL has been the most reliable source of power for the 
state of Punjab and has supported its requirements with 
uninterrupted supply during the peak season. NPL also 
happens to be the lowest cost power producer within 
Punjab with benchmark operational efficiency.

Business Environment
India’s Electricity Generation grew at 5.4% in FY 19 and 
there was an addition of 2.12 GW of Thermal Energy 
Capacity Additions in the same period. The Power Demand 
in Punjab was 4541 MW (Q4 FY19) registering an 8% 
increase over the demand in the corresponding period 
last year. Coal shortages continue to plague power plants, 
resulting in higher merchant power rates. The Average 
Power Purchase rate was R 3.92/KWh in FY19 vs R 3.25/
KWh in FY18. Being at the top of the merit order, average 
energy charge for NPL remained at R 3.30/KWh.

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
•  Received a partial payment from PSPCL, based on 

a favourable Supreme Court judgement in the coal 
washing matter 

•  Achieved an availability rate of over 85%

•  Plant operated at PLF of 74% despite plant shutdown 

due to forced outages

•  Secured highest ever imported coal approval of 9.5 Lakh

•  Upgradation of the Maximo mobility application – an ERP 
system which plays a crucial role in asset management, 
approval of PO/ PR, maintaining logs of plant operations 
and other HSE functions like Hazard reporting

•  Development of Mobility apps for approval of Purchase 
Requisition, Purchase Orders approvals and maintain

Risks and Concerns
As regards the financial risks, the financial health of the 
state Discoms remains an area of concern, considering that 
they are the sole customer. Also, the entity is exposed to 
cashflow stress pending dispute resolution with PSPCL on 
certain aspects, though it is fairly positive on the outcome, 
the risk of unfavourable resolution exists.

risk identification, assessment and evaluation, strategy 
and mitigation and monitoring and review mechanism. 
The company has implemented multiple measures in 
each of the risk areas to ensure a pro-active approach 
and timely mitigation including but not limited to timely 
major maintenance and repairs, coal import sanctions on 
domestic shortages, etc.

Being a coal based thermal plant, availability of coal fuel, 
quality of coal received, storage loss, supply chain logistics 
for fuel including lead time between requisition and arrival 
of coal wagons, transit loss in terms of quality, as well as 
quantity of coal continues to be a major operational risk for 
the business. 

Demand Supply situation of coal as well as power and 
the overall market scenario brings about certain business 
volatility and strategic risks.

Additionally, environmental compliances, as well as 
Government Policies on various aspects of thermal power 
pose multiple concerns for the business.

The risk management policy of the company provides 
for a robust risk management framework which involves 

Outlook
Punjab is expected to witness a flat growth in demand for 
electricity during FY 20. 

NPL is likely to remain the lowest cost power producer 
amongst the IPPs in the state with expected plant load 
factor of 78% in FY20. On the fuel side coal supply 
continues to be challenging in the FY 20.

The business has embarked on a five-year strategic plan 
under the ‘Lakshya 2021’ program of the group. Major 
focus areas for NPL during FY20 would be maximising 
plant availability, resolution of long pending litigations, 
improving operational efficiency, reducing under recoveries 
in coal, enhancing fuel quality, resolving the regulatory 
issues, cost management, digitalisation initiatives and EHS 
compliance.

Business Environment 
Growth of the real estate sector is integral to the growth of 
the economy. The housing sector alone contributes 5-6 % 
to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with a 11% 
CAGR over the last decade. 

The real estate sector comprises four sub sectors - housing, 
retail, hospitality and commercial. The growth of this sector 
is well influenced by growth of urbanisation, corporate 
environment and the demand for office space as well as 
accommodation. 

The Government of India and the State Governments are 
taking multiple initiatives to encourage development in the 
sector. Policies like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY), 
credit-linked subsidy scheme, extension of income tax 
benefits, the implementation of the Real Estate Regulation 
Act (RERA), changes in the GST Laws to remove the 
anomalies of tax rates on under-construction properties, 
etc., are helping the sector towards growth and an 
organised playing field. RERA is leading to transformative 
changes in the sector to improve consumer confidence. 

The residential segment constitutes 80% of the real estate 
industry. The residential real estate trends across markets 
are towards smaller ticket size, compact units to address 
larger market sizes. Relatively slower sales in the year 
have resulted in inventory build-up, causing stagnancy or 
pressure on price realisation.

The commercial segment consisting of sectors like IT/
ITeS, retail, consulting and e-commerce have registered 
high demand for office space in recent times. The 
commercial segment is doing well with stable rental 
appreciations and lower vacancies. Office space demand 
in the country increased to ~ 36 million sq. ft. (m sq. ft.) 
during FY 2018-19, duly supported by strong growth of 
absorption. Office property demand is expected to remain 
high with annuity seeking investors, both domestic and 
international, increasingly expanding real estate exposures 
to hold office and retail assets in India. The successful REIT 
by Embassy Developers has opened a new chapter in the 
Commercial real estate segment. 

Major Achievments

preferences, obtaining various approvals, price fluctuation, 
increasing cost of housing loans, liquidity crunch, delay 
in execution of projects / approvals, increase in costs of 
steel, cement, increase in minimum wages and regulatory 
changes are the areas where business is susceptible to risks. 
L&T Realty has appropriate/adequate risk mitigation plans 
for business processes at all levels. 

Outlook
The Indian Real Estate sector aims to reach USD 180 billion 
by the year 2020, with both commercial and residential 
segments gaining momentum. Cities like Bengaluru, 
Chennai, and Hyderabad have become development hubs. 
The steady demand for residential real estate from the IT 
sector and the implementation of various infrastructure 
initiatives will be amongst the key reasons for higher 
demand in these areas. Brands like L&T Realty are well 
accepted by customers for transparency and delivery 
capabilities, apart from providing well designed projects in 
premium locations and strong liquidity. It is ideally placed to 
strengthen its development foot print by joining hands with 
owners of land parcels.

The business is confident about steady growth in the 
Commercial segment. It will continue to launch new 
residential projects in Mumbai, Chennai and a few other 
large cities.

VlavTrac - a revolutionary traceability solution for L&T valves 

L&t VALVES LIMItED

Overview:
L&T Valves (LTVL) is a leading manufacturer of 
industrial valves. The business leverages fifty years 
of manufacturing excellence to serve key sectors 
of the economy such as oil and gas, power, 
petrochemicals, chemicals, water as well as defence 
and aerospace. L&T Valves manufactures a wide 
range of products such as Gate, Globe, Check, Ball, 
Butterfly and Plug valves as well as automation 
solutions.

LTVL is a market leader in India. Over the years, it 
also has made forays into international markets in 
select geographies. It operates two manufacturing 
facilities in southern India (Kancheepuram and 
Coimbatore) which are equipped with state-of-the-
art design and manufacturing infrastructure, while 
maintaining high standards in the area of health, 
safety and environment. 

Business Environment
A large volume of the business revenues accrues from 
the oil and gas sector and through supplies to projects. 
Oil prices are a key driver. With oil prices recovering 
during FY 2018 -19, the consumption was driven by 
project activity in the domestic and international arenas. 
Investments in the downstream market gathered traction 

as refinery projects got underway in Middle East. Overall, 
an increased procurement activity was witnessed in oil and 
gas sector. 

Besides oil and gas, power is another sector of interest. 
Owing to the structural and regulatory stress in this sector, 
the market growth remained muted during FY 2018-19 
with no significant capacity additions in the thermal sector. 
Demand in process industries took a positive turn on the 
backdrop of favorable IIP and PMI indices. 

FY 2019 also witnessed an increasing trend of localization 
and protectionist policies across the globe. The business 
has taken note of such trends in specific markets like the 
Middle East and the US and has planned accordingly. 

Industrial valves is a highly fragmented market which 
operates in a highly competitive environment. While the 
business faced intense competition during FY 2018-19, it 
has successfully mitigated these challenges and recorded a 
robust growth during the year. 

Major Orders Received 
The entity recorded a growth over 100%. Some of the 
order highlights include: 

•  Orders received from US distributor (QRC) 

•  Haradh Hawiyah Gas Compression project (Saudi Arabia)

Outlook
A comprehensive analysis of the market provides pointers 
to immense opportunities in terms of head room available 
in the oil and gas sector as also the high potential for 
growth in geographies like America, Europe, Middle 
East, Africa and Asia Pacific. A focused effort to pursue 
prospects in Europe and America will not only help 
expand its customer base but also help in de-risking its 
dependence on existing markets. Similarly, opportunities 
in the distribution space, which is the preferred channel in 
some of the major markets, will also help in mitigating high 
exposure to projects.

On the domestic front and in the oil and gas sector, 
investments are expected in debottlenecking and capacity 
expansion projects in the year FY 2019-20. It also shall track 
investments in pipeline and marketing terminals which are 
likely to come up. Opportunities are opening up in defence 
and nuclear space which augur well for the business’s 
established track record in this area. 

Globally, in an environment of stable oil prices, the business 
outlook shall remain positive. Investments in oil and gas 
projects are expected to continue in the Middle East and 
some parts of Africa. Similarly, project implementations 
in downstream and gas development are expected to 
continue in Europe. Overall, prospects from EPC players are 
expected to continue at the same levels. 

Setting up of an ‘after-market’ business has opened up 
new opportunities across the world and the Company 
expects a positive impact of this initiative on its order 
inflows during FY 2019-20.

However, with NBFC crisis impacting liquidity in the 
economy, stiff competition from domestic equipment 
manufacturers and a number of Chinese mining equipment 
manufacturers – especially in dump truck, tipper and wheel 
loader segments – impacted growth. 

•  VPR Mining Infra – Scania mining trucks 

•  National Mineral Development Corp. – Komatsu mining 

equipment and spares

•  PC Patel Infra – Komatsu mining equipment 

Rubber Processing Machinery Business
The performance of the automobile and tyre industries are 
the major influencing factors for the business. The global 
auto industry registered a moderate growth and did well 
in markets like India, Russia and Brazil in the current year. 
However, China saw a steep fall in passenger car sales and 
the US market remained flat.

India produces about 3.5 million passenger cars per year, 
although the last quarter of FY 2018-19 did see a bit of 
de-growth. In the commercial vehicles (CV) segment, 
the current year has witnessed growth as high as 25%, 
because of the low base effect. 

In the OTR (Off The Road) market in India, the demand 
for tyres has been good and many of the customers have 
gone ahead with expansion plans, providing good business 
opportunities. The segment saw a growth of 20 % over the 
previous year.

Major Orders Received in CMB 
The following major orders were received during the year:

•  Singareni Collieries Company Limited – Komatsu mining 

equipment and spares

Significant Initiatives
Construction and Mining Machinery Business
CMB introduced a number of business expansion activities 
during FY 2018-19. It introduced new equipment models 
for the construction and mining equipment such as an 80T 
excavator with a large bucket, rock body Scania tippers, 
etc., which helped in delivering additional sales. With the 
availability of spares being brought closer to customer sites, 
the availability guarantee of the machines has increased 
from 84% to 92% and thereby increasing sales of spares 
for the business. 

With the continued focus on capturing the hiring segment, 
CMB promoted lease financing programmes with low 
investment and low EMI. In order to retain customers 
and overcome the competition, CMB has been educating 
customers to evaluate the equipment on the basis of lower 
life-cycle costs, quick serviceability, etc. 

CMB’s 6th Service centre was opened in May 2018 in 
Singrauli covering over 800 machines in the region. 

Rubber Processing Machinery Business
An array of newer models was developed and newer 
variants were introduced into the market viz. a new low

deck height series of passenger car tyre hydraulic press and 
a new variant of tyre building machine (TBM) called Zeus 
being exported to a tyre manufacturer in US and targeting 
new customers in the US and European markets. 

LTRPM also strengthened its portfolio on Tyre Handling 
Automation Solutions and increased its focus on product 
support and services. Apart from these, LTRPM also focused 
on a number of process-related initiatives such as design 
process modernisation, long-term vendor contracts with 
360-degree support, product reliability enhancements, 
digitalisation, etc.

As part of the plan of expanding global reach, LTRPM also 
set up its office in the United States and has identified a 
similar plan for Europe.  During the year 2018-19, a new 
technology called Hyper Cooled Rotor KCS 3.0, with a 
higher cooling capacity was introduced by LTKMPL, which is 
suitable for mixing rubber at lower temperatures.

Digitalisation
On the digital front, the LTRPM business has established a 
system for updating the material status on a continuous 
basis, both for in-house and purchased parts. QR code 
based traceability for the components has been introduced. 

Digitalisation in CMB was implemented in stages 
throughout the year, which offered superior ICT tools, 
customer savings through machine performance 
monitoring and enhanced financier comfort.

Environment, Health and Safety
Safety Officers have been appointed at all the units and 
report to management personnel responsible for ensuring 
the safety practices are strictly adhered to. Safety audits are 
conducted regularly to ensure that the safety practices are 
in place and being followed. 

The manufacturing unit of LTCEL has been certified 
for its Integrated Management System (Environmental 
management systems as per ISO 14001:2004 and 
OHSAS 18001:2007 for Occupational Health and Safety 
Management systems). 

Human Resources
The Company has progressively built a team of 
committed professionals across its manufacturing 
plants and corporate offices. Emphasis on training and 
development of the workforce has been the focus area. 
Additionally, competency building programs for leadership 
development and various engagement initiatives have 
been undertaken to sustain the employees’ motivation 
and maintain a harmonious work place. Consequently, the 
Industrial Relations scenario has remained cordial in the 
manufacturing units of the group. There were no cases of 
violations during the year under the whistle blower policy 
and policy on ‘Protection of Women’s Rights at Workplace’.

Risks and Concerns 
Foreign currency fluctuation poses one of the major risks, 
as the LTRPM business has significant portion of imports 

281

and also exports goods. However, the business has 
mitigation plans in place to counter the impacts of currency 
volatility. Increased market competition and macro-
economic volatility is a continuing concern for the business.

Outlook
Construction and Mining Machinery Business
CMB plans to strengthen position in the premium segment 
and also increase its focus on large contractors, large 
irrigation projects and coal OB (overburden) removal 
contractors.

Government initiatives in infrastructure development, 
affordable housing etc. are expected to drive demand in 
the cement sector, which in-turn will boost demand for 
dump trucks, dozers and other mining equipment. 

The dozer segment is expected to grow by ~25%. Demand 
for Komatsu excavators is expected to increase by ~11% 
for FY 2019-20. The motor graders segment is expected to 
increase by ~14%. 

With ~60% of demand for mining equipment coming from 
Coal PSUs, CMB is planning to target selective tenders 
along with Komatsu. 

In the parts and services segment, CMB plans to introduce 
newer and more innovative, user-friendly spares. It also 
plans to develop dealers for construction equipment 
component repairs. 

Rubber Processing Machinery Business
The global tyre market totalled USD 73.9 Bn in 2017 and is 
expected to grow up to USD 98.56 Bn in 2024 at a CAGR 
of 4.2% as per the market research, with light-vehicle tyres 
accounting for around 60% of sales and truck tyres 30%. 

Few brownfield projects have been announced in the Truck 
Bus Radial and Off The Road segments.  In the international 
market, tyre industries have announced few projects for 
investment. LTRPM’s discussions with some of the leading 
players in Europe and US should give the unit good 
opportunities for better order inflow in FY 2019-20. 

CMB also expects the spares and auxiliaries business to 
grow by ~13% and plans to introduce newer attachments 
to boost sales. 

In the domestic market, with the Indian auto slow down 
and the general elections held in Q1 of FY 2019-20, the 
order inflow for FY 2019-20 may face some difficulties.

Financial Review 2018-19

I.  L&T CONSOLIDATED

A.  PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Indian economy is poised to gain out of structural reforms 
like GST, IBC etc. and initiatives such as Demonetisation. 
The year witnessed pick up in project awards and 
improved execution environment. Backed by incremental 
tax revenues and widening tax base, it is likely to give 
Central Government good financial wherewithal to fund 
infrastructure capex as well as uplift weaker sections 
of society through social spending. State governments 
have also steadily increased investment in public sector 
infrastructure projects such as state roads, transmission 
and distribution networks, metro rail networks and 
irrigation facilities. With Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code 
maturing, bank finances were channelled to growth prone 
areas, resulting in pick up in private sector investments, 
especially in health sector and in other services sector. 
This added with Governments thrust on infrastructure 
growth saw pick up in airports expansion although 
decision making in areas such as defence manufacturing 
towards Make in India programme is yet to gather the 
required momentum.

Public sector spends reflects strong investment 
momentum in areas of compliance requirements in 
refinery, reduction in import dependence in fertiliser, 
water supply & distribution, Metro Rail Networks, Road 
adjacencies (special bridges, expressways and city flyovers) 
and Transmission & Distribution. The strong underlying 
macro drivers of investments in these sectors are expected 
to continue well into FY 2019-20 and beyond, though the 
General Elections in first quarter of FY 2019-20 may have 
some impact on decision making process.

On the global front, the year gone by has seen significant 
volatility. Increase in protectionist barriers, sensitive geo-
political developments, moderation of growth in China, 
oil price & commodity price fluctuations, are impacting 
the way of doing business. The business environment 
remained competitive, with surplus capacity causing 
pricing pressures.

In this backdrop, the Group recorded stellar performance 
of its businesses in diverse sectors. The Company 
continued to focus on its goal of maximizing shareholder 
value by divesting assets identified for sale, achieving 
operational excellence through digital initiatives in 
furtherance to improve cost competitiveness, containing 
working capital along with better funds management 
and investing in value accretive acquisitions. During the 
year the Company concluded the stake sale in a container 

port in Tamil Nadu on receipt of regulatory approvals. The 
Company also monetized 5 road projects by transferring 
them to a listed Infrastructure Investment Trust (IndInfravit 
Trust). The Company has received an approval from 
Competition Commission of India (CCI) for divestment 
of its Electrical & Automation business, subject to 
compliance to certain conditions the details of which are 
awaited. L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, a subsidiary 
company, commissioned additional 26 km stretch of 
metro rail network in the city of Hyderabad during the 
year. The year also saw growth momentum in its listed 
subsidiaries namely L&T Infotech Limited, L&T Technology 
Services and L&T Financial Services with all three of them 
recording notable growth.

As at March 31, 2019, L&T Group comprises 110 
subsidiaries, 8 associates, 27 joint venture companies 
and 31 joint operations. Most of the group companies 
are strategic extensions of the project and product 
businesses of L&T, while hydrocarbon business is housed 
in a separate set of group companies to provide the 
desired focus and independent functioning. 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 and Financial 
Services are housed in separate listed subsidiaries. 
The development projects business reside in separate 
subsidiaries and joint venture Companies.

Order Inflow and Order Book
L&T Group achieved order inflow of R 176834 crore 
during the year 2018-19, registering a growth of 15.6% 
over the previous year. Focus on infrastructure at both 
the Centre and States, coupled with pick up in select 
private sector investments, have resulted in order inflow 
growth. The year witnessed increased investment by 
State authorities, especially in water supply & distribution 
and irrigation sectors. Big ticket orders were received 
from public sector entities mainly in Infrastructure and 
Hydrocarbon. During the year, Hydrocarbon business 
achieved a breakthrough in Algeria on receipt of large 
value order which boosted International order inflow. This 
resulted in lowering the composition of business from 
Middle East.

Order Inflow growth was mainly driven by Infrastructure 
segment, contributing 54% of the total order inflow for 
the year and Hydrocarbon contributing 16%. Growth was 
achieved with increased large value orders received from 
airport, metro, water supply & distribution, lift irrigation, 
health and refinery segment.

The growth in revenue was achieved with pick up 
of execution momentum in project businesses and 
substantial growth in services businesses. In product 
business, Electrical & Automation business achieved good 
growth on better offtake in Electrical Standard Products 
& higher demands in Metering Protection Systems, while 
Valves revenue was impacted due to delays in client 
clearances. Pick up in execution momentum in large value 
orders in order book in Transportation Infra, Heavy Civil 
Infra, Water Effluent and Treatment, Hydrocarbon and 
Defence, led the revenue growth in project business. 
Revenue in Realty business on application of Ind AS 115 
from April 1, 2018, is now recognized based on ‘Hand-
over’ of residential units, change from earlier cost 
based percentage completion method. This may lead to 
lumpiness in revenue and profit recognition for a given

Staff expenses for the year 2018-19 at R 18101 crore 
increased by 18.5% over the previous year. Staff Cost 
as a percentage of revenue marginally increased to 
12.8% from 12.7%, representing normal increments 
and increase in manpower in the services business. The 
Group is sustaining its focus on improved productivity, 
digitalisation and manpower rationalisation.

Sales and administration expenses decreased by 4.3% 
y-o-y to R 7301 crore, mainly on lower provisions towards 
customer receivables and credit losses.
The Group operating profit at R 16325 crore for the year 
2018-19 registered a healthy growth of 19.7% y-o-y. 
The EBITDA margins for the year also improved by 20 
basis points to 11.6%. Favourable job mix, coupled with 
execution efficiencies in Defence, Heavy Engineering 
and Hydrocarbon, cost optimization measures in product 
businesses, monetization of a Realty asset and container 
port at Kattupalli and strong growth in IT & TS businesses, 
contributed in offsetting the impact of cost overruns 
encountered in some projects in the Infrastructure 
segment.

Depreciation and Amortization charge

Depreciation and amortization charge for the year 
2018-19 increased by 8.1% to R 2084 crore, compared 

to R 1929 crore in previous year. The increase was largely 
due to impairment of assets in hydel projects.

Other Income
Other income at R 1852 crore, increased by 38% 
over R 1342 crore, consists of profit on sale of liquid 
investments, interest and dividend income from treasury 
investments. The growth was on account of higher 
interest income, lower charge towards mark-to-market 
(MTM) of derivatives and higher cross-sell income in 
Financial Services.

Finance cost
The interest expenses for the year 2018-19 at R 1806 
crore was higher by 17.4% in comparison to R 1539 crore 
for the previous year. The increase was attributable to the 
higher interest cost in L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail upon 
partial commencement of operations. Further, higher 
proportion of interest bearing advances in Infrastructure 
businesses resulted in increase in average borrowing 
cost for the year to 7.9%, as compared to 7.3% in the 
previous year.

Exceptional Items
Exceptional items of R 295 crore during the year 
represents recognition of certain customer dues (covered 
in insolvency proceedings), now considered as recoverable 
based on favourable NCLAT order received during this 
year.

Tax Expense
Income Tax charge for FY 2018-19 increased to R 4343 
crore compared to R 3199 crore in FY 2017-18 on 
increased profits and higher effective tax rate.

Infrastructure Segment

B.  SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE (GROUP)
1. 
Infrastructure segment now includes Metallurgical and 
Material Handling (MMH) business, which was reported 
under “Other” segment last year. Accordingly, previous 
year figures have been regrouped wherever necessary.

Infrastructure segment won orders worth R 95743 
crore, higher by 2.8% over the previous year, mainly 
from domestic state government and private customers. 
Large value orders were bagged by Building & Factories, 
Heavy Civil Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure 
and Water Effluent Treatment businesses. Strong 
investment by private sector in the airport segment and 
health segment boosted the order inflow momentum 
of Building and Factories. The demand from Housing 
segment however grew meagerly on account of unsold 
inventory. Water Effluent & Treatment business registered 
a significant growth with order wins from Madhya 
Pradesh for Water Supply & distribution and irrigation 
projects. Smart World & Communication registered 
growth benefitting from social sectors like E-shiksha and 
growth in communication network. The order inflow 
momentum was maintained in Power Transmission and 
Distribution business on orders received from Power 
Utilities and Middle East. The Order Inflow growth was 
impacted in the Heavy Civil Infrastructure, Transportation 
Infrastructure and Metallurgical and Material Handling 
business by deferral of some large value orders.

The share of international order inflow remained at 16%, 
same as previous year, with reduced contribution from 
Middle East compensated by higher proportion of orders 
from South East Asian and African countries. International 
order wins were predominantly in Power Transmission & 
Distribution, with Buildings & Factories and Transportation 
Infrastructure each receiving one large value order from 
international market.

Infrastructure segment clocked gross revenue of R 73204 
crore for the year 2018-19 registering 15.4% growth 
over the previous year. With strong executable opening 
order book, supported by necessary operational actions 
and statutory clearances, the execution progress picked 
up, resulting in revenue growth. All businesses of the 
segment registered a strong growth, except Smart World 
& Communications due to delay in receipt of clearances 
and new awards and in Metallurgical & Material Handling 
business on two large value projects in the portfolio 
encountering challenges for execution clearances.

Revenue from international operations constituted 26% 
of the total revenues of the segment during the year as 
compared to 29% in the previous year, with reduced mix 
of international orders in opening order book.

Infrastructure Segment earned operating profit of 
R 6154 crore. There was a decline in margins from 
9.8% to 8.5% due to cost and time overruns in certain 
projects in roads and elevated corridors in Transportation 
Infrastructure, lower capacity utilization in Smart World & 
Communications and Metallurgical & Material Handling 
business.

topline as well as bottom-line of the group performance. 
In line with group performance, the standalone 
performance has equally delivered good performance on 
all operational parameters.

The Company continued to focus on shareholder value 
enhancement driven by operating margin improvement, 
working capital reduction and unlocking of capital 
earning sub-par returns.

order inflow during the year as compared to 85% in the 
previous year. Power business registered growth with 
receipt of awards for Flue Gas De-sulpharisation projects.

to step up of capex in overseas market. E&A business is 
witnessing some pick up in industrial demand, mainly in

due to cost overruns in some of the infrastructure projects 
and increase in commodity prices.

[Figures in brackets relate to previous year]

Staff expenses for the year at R 6082 crore increased by 
8.3% y-o-y mainly due to increase in manpower strength 
to 44761 as on March 31, 2019 compared to 42924 as at 
March 31, 2018 and annual pay revisions.

Sales and administration expenses for the year at R 2318 
crore decreased by 13.4% y-o-y, mainly due to lower 
provision of doubtful debts.

Profit before depreciation, interest and tax excluding 
other income (PBDIT) was R 8684 crore for the year, 
higher by 12.8% over the previous year.

Depreciation and Amortization charge

Depreciation and amortization charge for the year 2018-
19 marginally increased by 1.8% and was at R 1068 crore, 
as compared to R 1049 crore in the previous year.

Other Income

Other income mainly comprises income from company’s 
treasury operations, dividends and income from group 
companies. Other income for the year 2018-19 at R 2769 
crore, increased as compared to R 1613 crore for the 
previous year mainly due to higher earnings on larger 
treasury investment and dividend from subsidiaries.

Finance cost
The interest expenses for the year at R 1641 crore were 
higher by 14.6% vis-à-vis R 1432 crore for the previous 

year. The increase is attributable to higher quantum of 
interest bearing customer advances, increased borrowings 
from group companies and higher interest on leave 
liability due to decrease in discount rate. The average 
borrowing cost for the year 2018-19 was majorly in line 
with previous year at 7.6%.

Exceptional Items
Exceptional items of R 475 crore for the year 2018-19 
include gain on dilution of stake in L&T Infotech and L&T 
Technology Services and recovery of an outstanding under 
Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code. The company provided for 
impairment of its investment in a subsidiary and a JV.

Profit after Tax and EPS

year 2018-19 at R 6678 crore, registered a growth of 
24% as compared to R 5387 crore in the previous year.

The Basic Earnings per Share (EPS) for the year 2018-19 at 
R 47.63 showed significant growth compared to previous 
year at R 38.46.

Business strategy formulation underpins the Company’s 
long-term growth plans. Strategic plan covers a period of 
5 years through a collaborative and consultative process 
across the organisation. In addition, given the emerging 
trends in technology and digitalisation and emergence 
of new business models, the company has embarked on 
development of a Perspective Plan with a horizon of 7-10 
years. The objective is to identify new businesses and 
offerings that have significant potential to scale up, given 
the underlying macro trends. The focus would be on 
identifying new areas for expansion that would need to 
be seeded now, so that they could evolve into large -scale 
businesses over the long term.

The inputs from the Perspective Plan, the 5-year strategic 
plan and broad financial goals are built into annual 
budgets every financial year.

The current 5-year strategic plan sharply focused on 
improvement in Return on Equity (RoE) ends in 2020-21.

Business Model and Portfolio Strategy

The Company serves the Government and large corporate 
customers across multiple sectors, both in India as well 
as globally. The Realty and Financial Services businesses 
provide B2C offerings as well in addition to B2B products/
services.

The Company focuses on its proven core competencies 
of conceptualising, executing and commissioning 
large, complex infrastructure projects in the areas of 
Roads and Bridges, Power Transmission & Distribution, 
Thermal, Hydel, Solar and Nuclear Power Plants, Water 
and Irrigation Infrastructure, Residential, Commercial, 
Institutional and Factory Buildings, Real Estate 
Development, Airports, Metro and Conventional Railways, 
Onshore and Offshore Hydrocarbon facilities and 
Metallurgical projects. An integrated EPC (Engineering, 
Procurement & Construction) business strategy forms 
the backbone of the Company’s business portfolio. The 
Company has also undertaken development projects such 
as Hyderabad Metro, road operations and tolling (through 
IDPL) and Nabha Power among others.

The diversified but cyclical nature of the EPC business is 
counterbalanced through a portfolio of manufacturing 
and services businesses. Manufacturing is mainly 
concentrated around defence and shipbuilding, heavy 
custom-built equipment catering to process industries, 
electrical products and systems (made-to-stock and made-
to-order), material handling equipment and industrial 
products & machinery. The services businesses cater to 
sectors of Information Technology, Technology Services, 
Smart World & Communication, Realty and Financial 
Services.

The Company has extensive manufacturing facilities 
at Hazira, Vadodara, Ahmednagar, Talegaon, Chennai, 
Coimbatore, Kattupalli and Oman. Partnerships with 
several large global process and technology licensors have 
also been established. The construction projects follow 
the EPC model, executing large, complex turnkey projects. 
These are executed by deploying a combination of the 
Company’s own employees and an extensive contract 
workforce. The IT and Technology Services companies 
also have extensive partnerships with established global 
software product and technology companies.

The Company is increasingly leveraging digital solutions 
and analytics across various parts of its businesses, 
spanning areas such as remote asset management, 
material tracking, employee productivity enhancement, 
safety and procurement, among others.

The business portfolio spans across domestic and 
international markets in line with the strategy of having a 
well-balanced, geographically diversified business.

Strategic Thrust and Direction:

At the core of the Company’s strategy is the overarching 
aim to create shareholder value through enhanced 
Return on Equity (RoE). The RoE improvement strategy 
encompasses strategic and tactical elements such as:

•	

•	

Enabling	growth	of	the	profitable	services	segment

Incubating	new	businesses	to	tap	future	growth	
opportunities – asset light, capex light, new-age 
businesses

•	 Maintaining	an	optimum	mix	between	domestic	and	

international business

•	

Ensuring	realisation	of	margins	embedded	in	the	
Order Book through execution, operational excellence 
and digitalisation initiatives

•	 Unlocking	Capital	from	asset	earning	sub	par	returns

In the first 3 years of the plan, RoE has improved from 
9.9% in 2016-17 (base year) to 15.3% in 2018-19 and is 
on course to achieve the target of 18% by 2021.

Resource Allocation

The Company has a well laid-out plan for resource 
allocation to meet its strategic objectives. Strategic 
initiatives include:

•	 Maintaining	adequate	liquidity	on	the	Balance	Sheet	

to exploit organic and inorganic growth opportunities 
and fund emerging businesses such as Smart City

•	

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

•	

Ensuring	judicious	allocation	of	manpower	and	
monetary resources to company-wide sustainability 
and growth initiatives such as CSR, Digitisation and 
operational excellence programs

IV. RISK MANAGEMENT

Over the past decade, the Company institutionalized 
an enterprise-wide Risk Management framework. The 
framework provides process of identifying, quantifying 
and mitigating risks which is well integrated with the 
business of the Company. Guided by the Corporate 
Risk Management framework, each business vertical 
has in place a Risk Management Policy, structure and 
procedures to cater to the unique nature of its business. 
The Company’s risk management processes ensure that 
the Company accepts risks as per the boundary conditions 
based on the risk appetite of the organisation.

The Audit Committee of the Board and a board appointed 
Apex Risk Management Committee (ARMC) oversee the 
efficacy of the risk management processes. The risk level 
of each business is discussed in detail in the respective 
management / business Board meetings. The ARMC 
is regularly informed of the critical risks affecting the 
Company for their review and guidance. Mitigation plans 
are drawn up and implemented as deemed appropriate 
within the overall Enterprise Risk Management framework 
of the company.

The risk management processes are developed especially 
for project businesses, which constitute a larger portfolio 
in the group. The key stages specifically covered by risk 
reviews include country clearance in case of venturing 
into a new country, pre-bid proposal clearance, 
execution risk reviews and project close-out reviews. 
Based on an authorization matrix as determined by 
the Risk Management Committee, the proposals are 
reviewed and cleared for submitting the bid. Execution 
risk reviews of the projects are held at regular intervals 
to track the project performance with an emphasis on 
identification of risks and their mitigation. An evaluation 
of the effectiveness of mitigation measures is periodically 
carried out. Close-out risk reviews are held to capture key 
learnings from the projects and what went right/wrong 

analysis, which helps in factoring in the learnings while 
making future bids. The principles of risk management 
have been strongly embedded at various levels of the 
organisation, with business treating it as an enabler and 
not just a process to comply with. 

The Company emphasises on continuous learning and 
has initiated several initiatives to improve risk awareness 
across the organization. These include workshops, 
knowledge sessions and training content deployed on 
online learning platforms. 

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

Geopolitical Risks: The Company monitors the risks such 
as sanctions, trade barriers, protectionist policies and 
geopolitical conflicts. Appropriate mitigation strategies 
are in place addressing geographical concentration, 
strategic sourcing options, regular monitoring of 
international sanctions and other economic measures.

Underperformance of key sectors: Growth in key 
sectors like power, nuclear, defence and metals & 
minerals, etc., could be impacted by a number of factors, 
such as budgetary allocation, slow pace of decision-
making, lack of investment demand, green initiatives and 
delays in environmental clearances. Being a diversified 
conglomerate helps mitigate the risk of such a slowdown 
in some sectors as we see compensating growth in certain 
other sectors. 

Competition: Competition from foreign and domestic 
players has considerably increased in the past few 
years. Customers have found it easier to impose less 
attractive commercial terms and also shrink project 
duration. The Company’s competitive strength is derived 
from excellence in executing projects of varying sizes, 
reputation for quality, technology, cost-effectiveness and 
project management expertise. 

Reputation and Brand: The Company addresses the 
potential risk of erosion of reputation and brand value 
through a strong corporate governance framework. It has 
a Compliance Policy in place, mandating adherence to a 
Code of Conduct and Internal Controls, complemented by 
regular knowledge-sharing across the organisation. 

Cyber security: As IT systems get increasingly inter-
connected, cyber security has become a key concern for 
Governments and businesses. The Company has taken 
several steps to mitigate the cyber risks. These include 
roll-out of an enterprise-wide cyber security framework 
that provides for technology solutions to enforce 

296

detective and preventive controls and employee education 
to create awareness of cyber risk.

Other Operational Risks:

Execution challenges: The Company faces execution 
challenges like 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 ensure timely mitigation. 

Counter Party Risks: The 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 is crucial for project success. Learnings 
from the past projects are incorporated in the inter-se 
agreements with the partners and clauses on liability of 
each partner is carefully drafted after legal due diligence 
is exercised. 

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. It ensures regular follow-up 
for delay in payments from clients, and has ensured 
improvement in the 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. 

FINANCIAL RISKS

Inflation remained broadly contained in India, however 
growth concerns remained. Indian currency depreciated in 
line with other emerging market currencies for the year.

Capital structure, liquidity and interest rate risks 

The Company maintains a conservative capital structure. 
Low gearing levels equip the Company to balance 
business stresses on one hand and raise growth capital on 
the other. This policy also provides flexibility for fund-
raising options in the future, which is especially important 
in times of global economic volatility. 

The US Dollar remained strong in 2018-19, primarily 
on the back of strong growth divergence between the 
US and rest of the world including emerging market 
countries. While the Indian currency depreciated in line 

with other emerging market currencies. The last quarter 
of 2018-19 witnessed elevated financial market volatility 
primarily due to fading impact of stimulus in the US and 
emerging growth concerns in Europe and China. Inflation 
in India remained broadly contained, though growth 
concerns continued.

Despite the lower liquidity environment in FY 18-19 on 
the back of slower consumer demand and sluggishness 
around investments in the private sector, the Company 
managed to restrain the working capital usage, both 
at a gross and net level. The Company has been 
investing capital into subsidiaries as scheduled and 
also to optimise overall Group interest rate costs. The 
Company also decided to use the surplus cash available 
with it to acquire shares of Mindtree Limited from some 
existing shareholders of Mindtree and launched an 
open offer with an intent to acquire controlling stake in 
the Company. The acquisition is in line with the stated 
strategy of growing the Company’s services business; 
however, the transaction is not expected to result in 
material impact on gearing. 

The Company plans to maintain adequate liquidity on 
the Balance Sheet to deal with slow recovery / downturn 
in economic conditions. With the implementation of the 
Large Exposure Framework guidelines of RBI from April 1, 
2019, the banking limits sanctioned by domestic banks 
to any of the Group companies will need to fit within 
25% of Tier 1 capital of banks v/s 40% of Tier 1 and Tier 
2 capital prevalent till now. This is likely to constrain the 
availability of bank limits (both fund-based and non-fund-
based) and also impact the pricing of the same for the 
Group (unless some regulatory relaxation is granted) and 
may have some adverse impact on the growth plans of 
the Group. 

The Company judiciously deploys its periodical surplus 
funds in short-term investments in line with the Corporate 
Treasury policy. The Company constantly monitors the 
liquidity levels, economic and capital market conditions 
and maintains access to the lowest cost means of 
sourcing liquidity through banking lines, trade finance 
and capital markets. 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.

297

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS     FINANCIAL RevIew     ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19

Foreign exchange and Commodity Price Risks

The 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 rate 
risks and residual commodity price risks are managed by 
treasury products. 

The disclosure of commodity exposures as required under 
clause 9(n) of Part C of Schedule V of the SEBI (Listing 
Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 
2015 in the format specified vide SEBI Circular dated 
15th November 2018 is given on page 299 of this Annual 
Report.

Financial risk management is governed by the Risk 
Management framework and policy approved by the 
Audit Committee and authorised by the Board. Financial 
risks in each business portfolio are measured and 
managed by corporate treasury. 

Despite currency weakness and elevated financial market 
volatility, the Company’s robust financial risk management 
processes ensured financial costs remain under control.

v.  INTeRNAL CONTROLS

At L&T, Internal Controls are a key pillar of Corporate 
Governance. The Company has a robust Internal Control 
framework in place, developed on COSO-model. The 
framework provides for Internal Controls commensurate 
with the nature, size and complexity of business both at 
entity level and process level. 

Internal Controls at L&T cover not only Disclosure and 
Reporting systems and activities (“Internal Controls 
on Financial Reporting”) but also the entire gamut 
of business operations and processes (“Operational 
Controls”) to meet the requirements of the Companies 
Act, 2013. They are seen as an aid to efficient business 
operations and not as a set of rules that circumscribe 
authority. A well-defined Authorisation / Authority matrix 
is at the heart of Internal Controls in the Organisation 
to ensure that all transactions are genuine and are 
authorised at appropriate level of management.

The responsibility for establishing, operating and 
upgrading the internal controls system is on the executive 
management assisted by Internal Control teams operating 
at Corporate level as well as in the businesses. The teams 
formulate and upgrade processes and standard operating 
procedures on an ongoing basis and share best practices 
across the organisation. The Corporate Audit department 
is tasked with testing of internal controls (design as well 
as operating effectiveness) and follow up for adequate 
remedial actions where controls gaps and weaknesses are 
observed. The Audit Committee guides and evaluates the 
efficacy of the Corporate Audit function and reviews the 
major observations each quarter. 

Employees are guided by the ‘Code of Conduct’ that 
reflects and reinforces the unique corporate culture 
and values. A separate ‘Code of Conduct’ for Business 
Partners seeks to ensure they align to Company’s values. 

Whistleblower mechanism is an important element of the 
internal control system encouraging both employees and 
business partners to report genuine concerns, misconduct 
or fraud without any fear of punishment or unfair 
treatment. The operation of Whistleblower mechanism is 
overseen by the Audit Committee.

in accordance with the code of ethics issued by the institute of chartered accountants of india (icai) together with the ethical 
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the companies act, 2013 and

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone 
financial statements of the current period. these matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Revenue recognition – accounting for construction contracts

Key audit matter  
description

there are significant accounting judgements including estimation of costs to complete, determining the 
stage of completion and the timing of revenue recognition. 

the company recognises revenue and profit/loss on the basis of stage of completion based on the 
proportion of contract costs incurred at balance sheet date, relative to the total estimated costs of the 
contract at completion. the recognition of revenue and profit/loss therefore rely on estimates in relation to 
total estimated costs of each contract.

cost contingencies are included in these estimates to take into account specific uncertain risks, or disputed 
claims against the company, arising within each contract. these contingencies are reviewed by the 
management on a regular basis throughout the contract life and adjusted where appropriate.

Principal audit 
Procedures 

the revenue on contracts may also include variable consideration (variations and claims). Variable 
consideration is recognised when the recovery of such consideration is highly probable. 

Refer to note number. 1(e) of the Standalone Financial Statements

our procedures included :

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

testing of the design and implementation of controls involved for the determination of the estimates 
used as well as their operating effectiveness;

testing the relevant information technology systems’ access and change management controls relating 
to contracts and related information used in recording and disclosing revenue in accordance with the 
new revenue accounting standard;

testing a sample of contracts for appropriate identification of performance obligations;

For the sample selected, reviewing for change orders and the impact on the estimated costs to 
complete;

engaging technical experts to review estimates of costs to complete for sample contracts; and

Performed analytical procedures for reasonableness of revenues disclosed by type and service offerings

assessment of the carrying value of unquoted equity instruments in loss making subsidiaries and joint ventures.

Key audit matter  
description

the impairment review of unquoted equity instruments and debt, with a carrying value of R 2,669 crore, 
is considered to be a risk area due to the size of the balances as well as the judgmental nature of key 
assumptions, which may be subject to management override. 

the carrying value of such unquoted equity instruments and debt is at risk of recoverability. the net worth of 
the underlying entities has significantly eroded and the orders in hand are below the break-even production 
levels of this facilities. the estimated recoverable amount is subjective due to the inherent uncertainty 
involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows.

Principal audit 
Procedures 

Refer to note number 1(j) of the Standalone Financial Statements
Besides obtaining an understanding of management’s processes and controls with regard to testing the 
impairment of the unquoted equity instruments in loss making subsidiaries and joint ventures.

our procedures included the following:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

engaged internal fair valuation experts to challenge management’s underlying assumptions and 
appropriateness of the valuation model used;

compared the company’s assumptions with comparable benchmarks in relation to key inputs such as 
long-term growth rates and discount rates;

assessed the appropriateness of the forecast cash flows within the budgeted period based on their 
understanding of the business and sector experience;

considered historical forecasting accuracy, by comparing previously forecasted cash flows to actual 
results achieved; and

Performed a sensitivity analysis in relation to key assumptions.

Revenue recognition and measurement of contract assets in respect of un-invoiced amounts and measurement of receivables in 
respect of overdue invoices.

Key audit matter  
description

the company, in its contract with customers, promises to transfer distinct services to its customers 
which may be rendered in the form of engineering, procurement and construction (ePc) services through 
design-build contracts, and other forms of construction contracts. the recognition of revenue is based on 
contractual terms, which could range from cost plus fee to agreed unit price to lump-sum arrangements. 
at each reporting date, revenue is accrued for costs incurred against work performed that may not have 
been invoiced. identifying whether the company’s performance have resulted in a service that would be 
billable and collectable where the works carried out have not been acknowledged by customers as of the 
reporting date, or in the case of certain defence contracts, where the evidence of work carried out and 
cost incurred are covered by confidentiality arrangements involves a significant amount of judgment.

•	

•	

Recognition of revenue before formal acknowledgment of receipt of services by the customer could 
lead to an over or under-statement of revenue and profit, whether intentionally or in error; and

assessing the recoverability of amounts overdue against invoices raised which have remained 
unsettled for a significantly long period after the end of the contractual credit period also involves a 
significant amount of judgment.

Refer to note number 1(e) and 1(m) of the Standalone Financial Statements

Principal audit Procedures  the procedures performed included the following:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

•

understanding of the design of key controls for quantifying units of items / services that would be 
invoiced and the application of appropriate prices for each of such services;

tested the design and operating effectiveness of management’s key controls in collating the units of 
services delivered and in the application of accurate prices for each of such services for  samples of 
the un-invoiced revenue entries, which included testing of access and change management controls 
exercised in respect of related information systems;

tested samples of un-invoiced revenue entries with reference to the reports from the information 
system that records the costs incurred against the services delivered to confirm the work performed 
and application of appropriate margin applied for the respective services. the auditors have also 
tested whether appropriate adjustments have been made for the element of variable consideration 
related to committed service levels of performance. With regard to incentives, auditors tests were 
focused to ensure that accruals were restricted to only those items where contingencies were 
minimal; 

tested cut-offs for revenue recognized against un-invoiced amounts by matching the revenue accrual 
against accruals for corresponding cost;

For defence contracts which are covered under by statutory confidentiality arrangements, the 
auditors  have compared the revenue recognised with amounts collected from customers to ensure 
that the gap between revenue recognised and collections is below the materiality threshold;

information other than the standalone Financial statements and Auditor’s report 

the respective Board of directors of the company and its Joint operation companies are responsible for the preparation of other 
information. the other information comprise the information included in the management discussion and analysis, Board’s Report 
including annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, corporate Governance and Shareholder’s information, but does 
not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report.

our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance 
conclusion thereon.

in connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, 
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained 
during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

if, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement of this other information, we are required to 
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

management’s responsibility for the standalone Financial statements

the company’s Board of directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the companies act, 2013 (the “act”) with 
respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial 
performance, total comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the company including its joint operation companies in 
accordance with the ind aS and 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 
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a 
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

in preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a 
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless 
management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

those Board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process. 

Auditor’s responsibility for the Audit of the standalone Financial statements

our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high 
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Sas will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could 
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements. 

as part of an audit in accordance with Sas, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the 
audit. We also:

•	

•	

•	

•	

Identify	and	assess	the	risks	of	material	misstatement	of	the	standalone	financial	statements,	whether	due	to	fraud	or	error,	design	
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a 
basis for our opinion. the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain	an	understanding	of	internal	financial	control	relevant	to	the	audit	in	order	to	design	audit	procedures	that	are	appropriate	
in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the 
company has adequate internal financial controls systems in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

Evaluate	the	appropriateness	of	accounting	policies	used	and	the	reasonableness	of	accounting	estimates	and	related	disclosures	
made by management.

Conclude	on	the	appropriateness	of	management’s	use	of	the	going	concern	basis	of	accounting	and,	based	on	the	audit	evidence	
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on company’s ability 

303

Auditors’ report on Standalone Financial StatementS

     annUal RePoRt 2018-19

to continue as a going concern. if we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our 
opinion. our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events 
or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.

•	

•	

Evaluate	the	overall	presentation,	structure	and	content	of	the	financial	statements,	including	the	disclosures,	and	whether	the	
standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtain	sufficient	appropriate	audit	evidence	regarding	the	financial	information	of	the	Company	and	its	joint	operations	to	express	
an opinion on the standalone financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit 
of the standalone financial statements of such entities included in the standalone financial statements. 

materiality

materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it 
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. 
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of 
our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.

Communication with those charged with governance

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our 
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we 
determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore 
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the 
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

other matters 

(a)  We did not audit the financial information of 24 joint operations included in the standalone financial statements whose financial 

information reflect total assets of R 4,540.71 crore as at march 31, 2019, total revenues of R 6,018.63 crore and net cash outflows

financial statements. the financial information of these joint operations has been unaudited and has been furnished to us by 
the management and our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures 
included in respect of these joint operations, is based solely on such unaudited financial information which is certified by 
management. in our opinion and according to the information and explanation given to us by the management, the financial 
information of these joint operations are not material to the company.

305

 
 
 
Auditors’ report on Standalone Financial StatementS

     annUal RePoRt 2018-19

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.

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 report 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.

reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at march 31, 2019, 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

over financial reporting insofar as it relates to 1 joint operation, which is a company incorporated in india, is solely based on the

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 the 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 its meeting held on may 10, 2019.

(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:

(i) 

(ii) 

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

(iii)  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

the company has adopted ind aS 115 “Revenue from contracts with customers” effective april 1, 2018. ind aS 115 supersedes 
ind aS 11 “construction contracts” and ind aS 18 “Revenue”. the company has applied ind aS 115 using the modified 
retrospective method and the cumulative impact of transition to ind aS 115 has been adjusted against the Retained earnings as at 
april 1, 2018. accordingly, the  figures of the previous year are not restated under ind aS 115.

the company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring 
promised good or service to a customer. the revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance 
obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of asset (good or service) to a 
customer is done over time and in other cases, performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation 
satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance 
obligation. the progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost 
attributable to the performance obligation.

Notes forming part of the Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)
significant Accounting policies (contd.)

transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring good 
or service to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party. Variable consideration is estimated using the 
expected value method or most likely amount as appropriate in a given circumstance. Payment terms agreed with a customer are 
as per business practice and there is no financing component involved in the transaction price.

costs to obtain a contract which are incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are charged-off in Profit & loss 
immediately in the period in which such costs are incurred. incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, and costs incurred to 
fulfil a contract are amortised over the period of execution of the contract in proportion to the progress measured in terms of a 
proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation. 

Significant judgments are used in:

1.  determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time; revenue 

recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. the progress is 
measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance 
obligation.

2.  determining the expected losses, which are recognised in the period in which such losses become probable based on the 

expected total contract cost as at the reporting date.

(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.  Revenue from sale of goods including contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognised 

as follows:

Revenue from sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when the control of the same is transferred to the 
customer and it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for the exchanged goods. 
Performance obligations in respect of contracts for sale of manufactured and traded goods is considered as satisfied 
at a point in time when the control of the same is transferred to the customer and where there is an alternative use of 
the asset or the company does not have either explicit or implicit right of payment for performance completed till date. 
in case where there is no alternative use of the asset and the company has either explicit or implicit right of payment 
considering legal precedents, performance obligation is considered as satisfied over a period of time and revenue is 
recognized over time. 

B.  Revenue from construction/project related activity is recognised as follows:

1.   cost plus contracts: Revenue from cost plus contracts is recognized over time and is determined with reference 
to the extent performance obligations have been satisfied. the amount of transaction price allocated to the 
performance obligations satisfied represents the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus the margin as 
agreed with the customer.

2. 

Fixed price contracts: contract revenue is recognised over time to the extent of performance obligation satisfied 
and control is transferred to the customer. contract revenue is recognised at allocable transaction price which 
represents the 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.

impairment loss (termed as provision for foreseeable losses in the financial statements) is recognized in profit or loss to 
the extent the carrying amount of the contract asset exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the company 
expects to receive towards remaining performance obligations (after deducting the costs that relate directly to fulfill such 
remaining performance obligations). in addition, the Group recognises impairment loss (termed as provision for expected

credit loss on contract assets in the financial statements) on account of credit risk in respect of a contract asset using 
expected credit loss model on similar basis as applicable to trade receivables.

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 contract asset and termed 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 contract liability and termed 
as “due to customers”. amounts received before the related work is performed are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as 
contract liability and termed as “advances from customer”. the amounts billed on customer for work performed and 
are unconditionally due for payment i.e only passage of time is required before payment falls due, are disclosed in 
the Balance Sheet as trade receivables. the amount of retention money held by the customers pending completion of 
performance milestone is disclosed as part of contract asset and is reclassified as trade receivables when it becomes due 
for payment. 

c.  Revenue from property development activities:

(i)   effective april 1, 2018, Revenue from property development activities is recognised when performance obligation 
is satisfied, customer obtains control of the property transferred and a reasonable expectation of collection of the 
sale consideration from the customer exists. the costs incurred on property development activities are carried as 
“inventories” till such time the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled.

(ii) 

For the periods ended on or before march 31, 2018, the revenue from the 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. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

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

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;

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

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

d.  Revenue from rendering of services is recognised over time as and when the customer receives the benefit of the 

company’s performance and the company has an enforceable right to payment for services transferred.

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

e. 

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.

F. 

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

G.  other operational revenue represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognised 

when the performance obligation is satisfied and 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.  Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the qualifying costs, incurred by 

the company, are recognised as other 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 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.

d.  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.

(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 are 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 company 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. 

B. 

c. 

d. 

e. 

F. 

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

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

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

the manner in which the probable future economic 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 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 financial year with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on 
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 financial 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, intangible assets and investments are tested 
for impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any. intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each 
year.

Notes forming part of the Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)
significant Accounting policies (contd.)

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, such 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 such 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.

Notes forming part of the Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)
significant Accounting policies (contd.)

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.  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. 

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 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 taken 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. debt 
instruments at FVtPl is a residual category for debt instruments, if any, and all changes are recognised in Profit or 
loss.

2. 

investments in debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured 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.

4. 

5. 

6. 

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 issued by other than subsidiaries 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. 

2. 

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

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.

Note [1] (contd.)
significant Accounting policies (contd.)

(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.

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 premium 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 premium 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 premium 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.

(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 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 bank balances.

(p)  securities premium

(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.

(q)  Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include finance costs 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 finance costs. in cases where hedging instruments are acquired for protection against exchange rate risk related to borrowings 
and are accounted as hedging a time-period related hedge item, the borrowing costs also include the amortization of premium 
element of the forward contract and foreign currency basis spread as applicable, over the period of the hedging instrument.

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. the share based payment equivalent to the fair value as on the date of grant of employee stock 
options granted to key managerial personnel is disclosed as a related party transaction in the year of grant.

(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 finance costs on those 
foreign currency borrowings; and

B. 

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

(iii)  exchange rate as of the date on which the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability is recognised on payment or receipt 

of advance consideration is used for initial recognition of related asset, expense or income.

(iv)  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 finance costs 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.

Note [1] (contd.)
significant Accounting policies (contd.)

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 at 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 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

(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 the 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 & intangible assets, allowance for expected credit loss, 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

Notes forming part of the Financial statements (contd.)

Note [44]
disclosure pursuant to ind aS 107 “Financial instruments: disclosures”: market risk management

(a)  Foreign exchange rate and interest rate risk:

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.

(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: 

Particulars

recognised financial assets/(recognised financial 
liabilities)

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 

366

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Financial statements (contd.)

Note [44] (contd.)

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 29.88 crore as at march 31, 2019 and R 25.61 crore as at march 31, 2018.

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, 2019 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:

Floating rate borrowings

a hypothetical 50 basis point shift in respective currency liBoRs and other benchmarks on the unhedged loans would result 
in a corresponding increase/decrease in interest cost for the company on a yearly basis 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 11.08 crore as at march 31, 2019 and +/- R 14.04 crore as 
at march 31, 2018. 5% change in the equity funds’ naV would result in a value change of +/- R 38.91 crore as at march 31, 2019 
and +/- R 16.24 crore as at march 31, 2018 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:

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 determined at the start of the annual 
reporting period. 
the company expects to fund R 60.92 crore (previous year: R 45.05 crore) towards its gratuity plan and R 73.88 crore 
(previous year: R 67.68 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2019-20.

h)  characteristics of defined benefit plans and associated risks:

1  Gratuity plan:

2 

3 

4 

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, the unfunded portion 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.

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.

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.

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.

on march 30, 2019, the ministry of corporate affairs notified following new ind aS, applicable in respect of accounting periods 
commencing on or after april 1, 2019.

ind As 116 “Leases”

ind aS 116 “leases” supersedes aS 17 “leases” in respect of accounting periods commencing on or after april 1, 2019. ind aS 
116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. Pursuant to transition methods 
permitted under ind aS 116, the company is proposing to use “modified retrospective approach” for transitioning to ind aS 116 with 
effect from april 1, 2019. Under modified retrospective approach, cumulative effect of initially applying the accounting standard as 
at april 1, 2019 will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings of the financial year 2019-20 and 
figures for the financial year 2018-19 will not be restated as per the new accounting standard. With respect to existing leases as at the 
date of initial application of the accounting standard, the company is proposing to use the practical expedient available on transition to 
ind aS 116 and will not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease and instead apply ind aS 116 only to the contracts that were 
previously identified as lease applying ind aS 17.

the company has carried out an initial assessment of the impact of adopting this standard and there would not be any significant 
impact on the financials of the company.

Note [64] 

Figures for the previous year have been regrouped/reclassified to conform to the figures of the current year.

LArseN & touBro LiMited

report on the Audit of Consolidated Financial statements
opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of larsen & toubro limited (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, which comprise the 
Consolidated Balance sheet as at march 31, 2019, the Consolidated statement of Profit and loss (including other Comprehensive 
income), the Consolidated statement of Changes in equity and the Consolidated statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended 
on that date, and notes to financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory 
information (hereinafter referred to as the “Consolidated Financial statements”).

in our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial 
statements give the information required by the Companies act, 2013 (the “act”) in the manner so required and give a true and 
fair view in conformity with indian accounting standards prescribed under section 133 of the act read with the Companies (indian 
accounting standards) Rules 2015, as amended (“ind as”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in india, of the state of 
affairs of the Group as at march 31, 2019, the consolidated profit, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in 
equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit of consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards on auditing (sas) specified under 
section 143(10) of the Companies act, 2013. our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s 
Responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group, and of 
its joint operations, associates and joint ventures in accordance with the Code of ethics issued by the institute of Chartered accountants 
of india (“iCai”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements under 
the provisions of the Companies act, 2013 and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 
in accordance with these requirements and the iCai’s Code of ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated 
financial statements of the current period. these matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

appropriateness of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of revenues and other related balances in view of 
adoption of ind as 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (new revenue accounting standard)

Key audit matter 
description

appropriateness of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of revenues and other related 
balances in view of adoption of ind as 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (new revenue accounting 
standard).

418

the application of the new revenue accounting standard involves certain key judgements relating to identification 
of distinct performance obligations, determination of transaction price of the identified performance obligations, 
the appropriateness of the basis used to measure revenue recognised over a period. additionally, new revenue 
accounting standard contains disclosures which involves collation of information in respect of disaggregated 
revenue and periods over which the remaining performance obligations will be satisfied subsequent to the balance 
sheet date.

Refer to note no. 1(i) of the Consolidated Financial statements

Principal audit 
Procedures

the auditors have assessed the process to identify the impact of adoption of the new revenue accounting 
standard.

the procedures performed included the following:

•	

•	

Evaluated	the	design	of	internal	controls	relating	to	implementation	of	the	new	revenue	accounting	standard;

Selected	samples	of	continuing	and	new	contracts,	and	tested	the	operating	effectiveness	of	the	internal	
control, relating to identification of the distinct performance obligations and determination of transaction 
price. the auditors have carried out a combination of procedures involving enquiry and observation, 
reperformance	and	inspection	of	evidence	in	respect	of	operation	of	such	controls;	and

•	

Selected	samples	of	continuing	and	new	contracts	and	performed	the	following	procedures:

i.	

Read	and	analysed	contracts	to	identify	the	distinct	performance	obligations	in	such	contracts;

ii.	 Compared	such	performance	obligations	with	that	identified	and	recorded	by	the	Company;

iii.  Considered the terms of the contracts to determine the transaction price including any variable 

consideration to verify the transaction price used to compute revenue and to test the basis of estimation 
of	the	variable	consideration;

iv. 

in respect of samples relating to fixed price contracts, progress towards satisfaction of performance 
obligation used to compute recorded revenue was verified with the supporting documentation, 
validated estimates of costs to complete, mathematical appropriateness of calculations and the 
adequacy	of	project	accounting;	and

v. 

Performed analytical procedures for reasonableness of revenues disclosed by type and service offerings.

Revenue recognition – accounting for construction contracts

Key audit matter 
description

there are significant accounting judgements including estimation of costs to complete, determining the stage of 
completion and the timing of revenue recognition. 

Principal audit 
Procedures

the Group recognises revenue and profit/loss on the basis of stage of completion based on the proportion of 
contract costs incurred as at balance sheet date, relative to the total estimated costs of the contract at completion. 
the recognition of revenue and profit/loss therefore rely on estimates in relation to total estimated costs of each 
contract.

Cost contingencies are included in these estimates to take into account specific uncertain risks, or disputed claims 
against the Group, arising within each contract. these contingencies are reviewed by the management on a 
regular basis throughout the contract life and adjusted where appropriate.

the revenue on contracts may also include variable consideration (variations and claims). Variable consideration is 
recognised when the recovery of such consideration is highly probable. 

Refer to note no 1(i) of the Consolidated Financial statements

the auditors’ procedures included:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

Testing	of	the	design	and	implementation	over	controls	involved	for	the	determination	of	the	estimates	used,	
as	well	as	their	operating	effectiveness;

Testing	the	relevant	information	technology	systems’	access	and	change	management	controls	relating	to	
contracts and related information used in recording and disclosing revenue in accordance with the new 
revenue	accounting	standard;

Testing	samples	of	contracts	for	appropriate	identification	of	performance	obligations;

For	the	sample	selected,	reviewing	for	change	orders	and	the	impact	on	estimated	costs	to	complete;

Engaging	technical	experts	to	review	estimates	of	costs	to	complete	for	sample	contracts;	and

Performed	analytical	procedures	for	reasonableness	of	revenues	disclosed	by	type	and	service	offerings.

appropriateness of revenues and onerous obligations in respect of fixed price contracts involves critical estimates for services relating 
to information technology & technology services segment

Key audit matter 
description

estimated effort is a critical estimate to determine revenues and provision for onerous obligations in fixed price 
contracts. this estimate has a high inherent uncertainty as it requires consideration of progress of the contract, 
efforts incurred till date, efforts required to complete the remaining contract performance obligations.

Refer to note no.1(i) of the Consolidated Financial statements

Principal audit 
Procedures

the auditors audit approach was a combination of test of internal controls and substantive procedures which 
included the following:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

Evaluated	the	design	of	internal	controls	relating	to	recording	of	efforts	incurred	and	estimation	of	efforts	
required	to	complete	the	performance	obligations;

Tested	the	access	and	application	controls	pertaining	to	time	recording,	allocation	and	budgeting	systems	
which	prevents	unauthorised	changes	to	recording	of	efforts	incurred;

Selected	samples	of	contracts	and	tested	the	operating	effectiveness	of	the	internal	controls	relating	to	
efforts	incurred	and	estimated	through	inspection	of	evidence	of	performance	of	these	controls;

Selected	samples	of	contracts	and	performed	a	retrospective	review	of	efforts	incurred	with	estimated	efforts	
to identify significant variations and verify whether those variations have been considered in estimating the 
remaining	efforts	to	complete	the	contract;

Reviewed	samples	of	contracts	with	unbilled	revenues	to	identify	possible	delays	in	achieving	milestones,	
which	require	change	in	estimated	efforts	to	complete	the	remaining	performance	obligations;	and

•	

Performed	analytical	procedures	and	test	of	details	for	reasonableness	of	incurred	and	estimated	efforts.

Revenue recognition and measurement of contract assets in respect of un-invoiced amounts and measurement of receivables in 
respect of overdue invoices.

Key audit matter 
description

Principal audit 
Procedures

the Group, in its contract with customers, promises to transfer distinct services to its customers which may be 
rendered in the form of engineering, procurement and construction (ePC) services through design-build contracts, 
and other forms of construction contracts. the recognition of revenue is based on contractual terms, which 
could range from cost plus fee to agreed unit price to lump-sum arrangements. at each reporting date, revenue 
is accrued for costs incurred against work performed that may not have been invoiced. identifying whether the 
group’s performance have resulted in a service that would be billable and collectable where the works carried out 
have not been acknowledged by customers as of the reporting date, or in the case of certain defence contracts, 
where the evidence of work carried out and cost incurred are covered by confidentiality arrangements involves a 
significant amount of judgment.

•	

•	

Recognition	of	revenue	before	formal	acknowledgment	of	receipt	of	services	by	the	customer	could	lead	to	
an	over	or	under-statement	of	revenue	and	profit,	whether	intentionally	or	in	error;	and

Assessing	the	recoverability	of	amounts	overdue	against	invoices	raised	which	have	remained	unsettled	for	a	
significantly long period after the end of the contractual credit period also involves a significant amount of 
judgment.

Refer to note no. 1(i) and 1(r) of the Consolidated Financial statements
the procedures performed included the following:

•	

•	

Obtained	an	understanding	of	the	Group’s	processes	in	collating	the	evidence	supporting	execution	of	work	
for each disaggregated type of revenue. auditors have also obtained an understanding of the design of key 
controls for quantifying units of items / services that would be invoiced and the application of appropriate 
prices	for	each	of	such	services;

Tested	the	design	and	operating	effectiveness	of	management’s	key	controls	in	collating	the	units	of	services	
delivered and in the application of accurate prices for each of such services for samples of the un-invoiced 
revenue entries, which included testing of access and change management controls exercised in respect of 
related	information	systems;

420

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

Tested	samples	of	un-invoiced	revenue	entries	with	reference	to	the	reports	from	the	information	system	that	
records the costs incurred against the services delivered to confirm the work performed and application of 
appropriate margin applied for the respective services. the auditors have also tested whether appropriate 
adjustments have been made for the element of variable consideration related to committed service levels of 
performance. With regard to incentives, auditors tests were focused to ensure that accruals were restricted to 
only	those	items	where	contingencies	were	minimal;

Tested	cut-offs	for	revenue	recognized	against	un-invoiced	amounts	by	matching	the	revenue	accrual	against	
accruals	for	corresponding	cost;

For	defence	contracts	which	are	covered	under	statutory	confidentiality	arrangements,	the	auditors	have	
compared the revenue recognised with amounts collected from customers to ensure that the gap between 
revenue	recognised	and	collections	is	below	the	materiality	threshold;

Extended	the	testing	upto	the	date	of	approval	of	financial	statements	by	the	Board	of	Directors	of	the	Parent	
entity to verify adjustments, if any, that may have been necessary upon receipt of approvals from customers 
for	services	delivered	prior	to	the	reporting	date	and/or	collections	there	against;	

Reviewed	the	delivery	and	collection	history	of	customers	against	whose	contracts	un-invoiced	revenue	is	
recognised;	and

•	

Verification	of	subsequent	receipts,	post	balance	sheet	date.

Provision for expected credit losses for financial services segment

Key audit matter 
description

the Group has financial assets that are debt instruments such as loans, debt securities, bank balances and deposits 
and	trade	receivables	that	are	measured	at:	amortised	cost;	and	fair	value	through	other	comprehensive	income	
(“FVOCI”);	and	finance	lease	receivables	recognised	as	per	Ind	AS	16	on	“Leases”,	in	respect	of	which	impairment	
losses have been recognised and measured using the “expected credit losses” (“eCl”) model laid down in ind as 
109 on “Financial instruments” for which, the Group has used the general approach described in ind as 109. 

Principal audit 
Procedures

While the Group has identified objective criteria to define “significant increase in credit risk” (“siCR”) on a 
financial asset, identification of financial instruments that could be grouped together on the basis of shared credit 
risk and assessed collectively for siCR constitutes a significant judgement. 

also, the Group has used an internal rating based approach in building its eCl model, using its own internal 
estimates for some or all of the credit risk components such as the Probability of default (“Pd”), loss Given 
default (“lGd”) and effective maturity (“m”). each of these elements are critical estimates in the measurement of 
impairment on such financial assets. 

the Group has also built in a collective adjustment for its loan portfolios to be more responsive to emerging 
macro-economic and other risk developments, which also involves critical judgements and estimates. 

therefore, impairment of financial assets was considered a key audit matter.

the procedures performed included the following: 

•	

•	

•	

Obtained	an	understanding	of	how	the	Group	identified	financial	assets	that	are	not	measured	at	fair	value	
through profit and loss, with similar credit risks, to assess siCR collectively i.e. the extent of forward looking 
information, that is reasonable and supportable, was collated and the extent to which reliance was placed on 
past information. 

Checked	the	appropriateness	of	the	Group’s	determination	of	SICR	and	the	resultant	basis	for	classification	of	
exposures into various stages. 

Assessed	the	appropriateness	of	key	data	sources	and	assumptions	in	building	estimates	for	components	
of credit risk including Pd, lGd and m that were used in modelling eCl provisions. For data from external 
sources, we understood the process of choosing such data, its relevance to the Group. the auditors have 
evaluated the key controls and governance over the modelling process including model monitoring, validation 
and approval. the auditors have tested controls over model outputs and recognition and approval of post 
model adjustments and management overlays. 

•	

For	corporate	exposures,	tested	design	and	operating	effectiveness	of	the	key	controls	over	the	
appropriateness of use of collaterals, the quantification thereof and the timing of recovery.

•	

•	

•	

Tested	the	design	and	operating	effectiveness	of	the	Group’s	key	internal	controls	around	the	completeness	
and accuracy of financial assets on which the eCl model was applied. a sample of exposures was also tested 
for staging, application of the appropriate Pd, lGd and m. the auditors have tested the mathematical 
accuracy of the model output and its sensitivity to changes in modelling assumptions.

Assessed	and	tested	the	material	overlays	with	a	focus	on	the	reasonableness	of	the	supportable	information	
used.

Involved	our	specialists	in	areas	that	required	specific	expertise	(i.e.	data	reliability	and	the	expected	credit	
loss model).

Assessed	the	accuracy	of	the	disclosures	in	the	financial	statements	and	ensured	that	they	were	in	accordance	
with ind as 109.

impairment of toll Collection Rights

Key audit matter 
description

toll collection rights obtained in consideration for rendering construction services, represent the right to collect 
toll revenue during the concession period in respect of Build-operate-transfer ("Bot") and design-Build-operate-
transfer (“dBot”) projects. toll collection rights are capitalised as intangible assets upon completion of the project 
at the cumulative construction costs plus the present value of obligation towards negative grants and additional 
concession fee payable to national Highways authority of india ("nHai")/state authorities, if any.

Principal audit 
Procedures

the Group has carried out an evaluation for impairment of such toll collection rights which have incurred losses 
on a continuous basis, representing indicators of impairment. management has estimated the future cash flows 
arising from achieving revenues and costs in line with the increase in traffic as well as refinancing/ restructuring. 
as such estimations involve complex and subjective judgements by the management, there is a risk that there may 
be an impairment that has not been recorded.

Refer to note no 1(n) of the Consolidated Financial statements.

the auditors have performed a range of audit procedures, which included the following:

•	

•	

Evaluated	the	design	and	implementation	of	the	relevant	controls	and	the	operating	effectiveness	of	such	
internal controls in estimating the future projections including assumptions used in determining the value in 
use;

Compared	the	actual	revenues	and	cash	flows	generated	by	the	entities	during	the	year	as	compared	to	the	
projections and estimates considered in the previous year and evaluated the basis of future projections with 
regard	to	the	revenue	and	cash	flows;

422

 
	
 
•	

•	

•	

Evaluated	the	appropriateness	of	key	assumptions	in	the	valuations	including	discount	rate,	growth	rate,	and	
consulted internal specialists. the challenge was based on the auditors’ assessment of the historical accuracy 
of the Group’s estimates in the prior periods and an assessment of the consistency of assumptions across all 
the	subsidiaries	and	comparison	of	the	assumptions	with	public	data	wherever	available;

The	auditors	have	also	performed	a	sensitivity	analysis	to	assess	the	impact	of	possible	different	assumptions	
related to revenue and cost estimates including:

i.	

ii.	

Increase/decrease	in	revenue	growth	rate;	

Increase/decrease	to	cost	forecasts;	and

The	auditors	have	enquired	with	key	financial	and	operational	personnel	to	identify	any	factors	that	should	
be taken into account in auditors’ analysis. in all cases, the auditors have corroborated management’s 
explanations, including changes in assumptions, and evaluated these relative to auditors own analysis.

multiple it applications

Key audit matter 
description

one of the components is highly dependent on technology due to the significant number of transactions 
that are processed daily and discrete it systems. the interest income is computed through various it systems 
and the interfacing of these system with the accounting system is critical aspect of audit. the audit approach 
relies extensively on automated controls and controls around interface of different systems, therefore on the 
effectiveness of controls over it systems. 

it application controls are critical to ensure that changes to applications and underlying data are made in an 
appropriate manner. appropriate controls contribute to mitigating the risk of potential fraud or errors as a result of 
changes to applications and data.

Principal audit 
Procedures

management has implemented Group wide preventive and detective controls across critical applications and 
infrastructure to reduce the risk over it applications in the financial reporting process. due to the pervasive nature, 
the auditors have assessed the risk of a material misstatement arising from technology as significant for the audit.

the component auditors have performed a range of audit procedures, which included the following:

access rights were tested over applications, operating systems and databases relied upon for financial reporting. 
specifically, the tests were designed to cover the following:

•	

•	

•	

New	access	requests	for	joiners	were	properly	reviewed	and	authorised;

User	access	rights	were	removed	on	a	timely	basis	when	an	individual	left	or	moved	role;

Access	rights	to	applications,	operating	systems	and	databases	were	periodically	monitored	for	
appropriateness;	and

•	

Highly	privileged	access	is	restricted	to	appropriate	personnel.

other areas that were independently assessed included password policies, security configurations, controls over 
changes to applications and databases and that business users, developers and production support did not have 
access to change applications, the operating system or databases in the production environment. testing of 
automated controls and interface testing was carried out.
other procedures performed included:

•	 Where	inappropriate	access	was	identified,	we	understood	the	nature	of	the	access,	and,	where	possible,	

obtained	additional	evidence	on	the	appropriateness	of	the	activities	performed;	

•	

•	

Additional	substantive	testing	was	performed	on	specific	year-end	reconciliations	and	confirmations	with	
external	counterparties;

A	list	of	users’	access	permissions	was	obtained	and	manually	compared	to	other	access	lists	where	
segregation of duties was deemed to be of higher risk.

information other than the Consolidated Financial statements and Auditor’s report 

the Company’s Board of directors is responsible for the preparation of other information. the other information comprise the 
information included in the management discussion and analysis, Board’s Report including annexures to Board’s Report, Business 
Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and shareholder’s information, but does not include the consolidated financial statements 
and our auditor’s report.

Auditors’ report on Consolidated FinanCial statements     annUal RePoRt 2018-19

our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of 
assurance conclusion thereon.

in connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, compare 
with the other information of the joint operations, subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates audited by other auditors to the extent it 
relates to these entities and, in doing so, place reliance on the work of the other auditors and consider whether the other information 
is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. other information so far as it relates to the joint operations, subsidiaries, joint ventures 
and associates, is traced from their financial statements audited by the branch auditors and other auditors and, in doing so, consider 
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during 
the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

if, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is material misstatement of this other information, we are required to 
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s responsibility for the Consolidated Financial statements

the Parent’s Board of directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies act, 2013 (the “act”) with 
respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial 
position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and 
consolidated cash flows of the Group including its joint operations, associates and joint ventures in accordance with the ind as and 
other accounting principles generally accepted in india.

the respective Board of directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for 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	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 completeness of the accounting records, 
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

in preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of directors of the companies included in the Group, its joint 
operations, associates and joint ventures are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group, its joint operations, associates and joint 
ventures to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis 
of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do 
so.

the respective Board of directors of the companies included in the Group, its joint operations, associates and joint ventures are also 
responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group, its joint operations, associates and joint ventures.

Auditor’s responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial statements

our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with sas will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, 
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial 
statements.

as part of an audit in accordance with sas, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the 
audit. We also:

Identify	and	assess	the	risks	of	material	misstatement	of	the	consolidated	financial	statements,	whether	due	to	fraud	or	error,	
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our opinion. the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one 
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal 
control.

Obtain	an	understanding	of	internal	financial	controls	relevant	to	the	audit	in	order	to	design	audit	procedures	that	are	appropriate	
in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Parent, 
subsidiary companies, joint operation companies, associate companies and joint venture companies incorporated in india, have 
adequate internal financial controls systems in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

Group, its joint operations, associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern. if we conclude that a material uncertainty 
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements 
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the 
date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group, its joint operations, associates and joint 
ventures to cease to continue as a going concern.

consolidated financial statements.

Materiality

materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it 
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated financial statements may be influenced. 
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of 
our	work;	and	(ii)	to	evaluate	the	effect	of	any	identified	misstatements	in	the	consolidated	financial	statements.

Communication with those charged with governance

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our 
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we 
determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period 
and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our 
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication.

Auditors’ report on Consolidated FinanCial statements     annUal RePoRt 2018-19

ANNeXure “A” to tHe iNdepeNdeNt Auditor’s 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”)

in conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended march 31, 2019, 
we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of laRsen & toUBRo limited (hereinafter referred to as 
“Parent”) and its subsidiary companies (the parent and its subsidiaries together 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 act.

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, which are 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.

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.

428

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 
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, 2019, 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 34 subsidiary companies, 1 joint operation company, 7 joint venture companies and 3 
associate companies, which are companies incorporated in india, is based solely on the corresponding reports furnished to us by 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 10 subsidiary companies, and 5 joint venture companies, which are companies

is based solely on the management’s certification 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 by and the reports of such 
other auditors and the financial information certified by the management.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements

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 the 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 10, 2019.

(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:

(i) 

(ii) 

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

(iii)  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 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 interests represent that part of the total comprehensive income and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to 

interest which is 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 ventures 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 ventures. 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 ventures 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 joint venture or associate 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 and associate, 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 and associates 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 a joint venture or associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that joint venture or associate 
(which includes any long term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint venture or 
associate), 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 joint venture or associate.

(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     annUal RePoRt 2018-19

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

the Group has adopted ind as 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” effective april 1, 2018. ind as 115 supersedes 
ind as 11 “Construction Contracts” and ind as 18 “Revenue”. the Group has applied ind as 115 using the modified retrospective 
method and the cumulative impact of transition to ind as 115 has been adjusted against the Retained earnings as at april 1, 2018. 
accordingly, the figures of the previous year are not restated under ind as 115.

the Group recognises revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring promised 
goods or service to a customer. the revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance 
obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied over time when the transfer of control of good or service to a customer 
is done over time and in other cases, performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. For performance obligation satisfied 
over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. 
the progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the 
performance obligation.

transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects it to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods 
or services to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party. Variable consideration is estimated using the 
expected value method or most likely amount as appropriate in a given circumstance. Payment terms agreed with a customer are 
as per business practice and the financing component, if significant, is separated from the transaction price and accounted as 
interest income.

Costs to obtain a contract which are incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are charged-off in profit & loss 
immediately in the period in which such costs are incurred. incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, and costs incurred to 
fulfil a contract are amortised over the period of execution of the contract in proportion to the progress measured in terms of a 
proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.

significant judgments are used in:

a.  determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time. Revenue 

recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. the progress is 

440

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)

measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance 
obligation.

b.  determining the estimated losses, which are recognised in the period in which such losses become probable based on the 

expected total contract cost as at the reporting date.

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.  Revenue from sale of goods including contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognised as 

follows:

Revenue from sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when the control of the same is transferred to the 
customer and it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for the exchanged goods. 
Performance obligations in respect of contracts for sale of manufactured and traded goods is considered as satisfied at a 
point in time when the control of the same is transferred to the customer and where there is an alternative use of the asset 
or the company does not have either explicit or implicit right of payment for performance completed till date. in case where 
there is no alternative use of the asset and the company has either explicit or implicit right of payment considering legal 
precedents, performance obligation is considered as satisfied over a period of time and revenue is recognised over time.

B.  Revenue from construction/project related activity is recognised as follows:

•	

•	

Cost	plus	contracts:	Revenue	from	cost	plus	contracts	is	recognised	over	time	and	is	determined	with	reference	to	the	
extent performance obligations have been satisfied. the amount of transaction price allocated to the performance 
obligations satisfied represents the recoverable costs incurred during the period plus the margin as agreed with the 
customer.

Fixed	price	contracts:	Contract	revenue	is	recognised	over	time	to	the	extent	of	performance	obligation	satisfied	and	
control is transferred to the customer. Contract revenue is recognised at allocable transaction price which represents 
the 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.

impairment loss (termed as provision for foreseeable losses in the financial statements) is recognised in profit or loss to the 
extent the carrying amount of the contract asset exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the company expects 
to receive towards remaining performance obligations (after deducting the costs that relate directly to fulfill such remaining 
performance obligations). in addition, the Group recognises impairment loss (termed as provision for expected credit loss on 
contract assets in the financial statements) on account of credit risk in respect of a contract asset using expected credit loss 
model on similar basis as applicable to trade receivables.

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 contract asset and termed 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 contract liability and termed as “due to customers”. amounts 
received before the related work is performed are disclosed in the Balance sheet as contract liability and termed as “advances 
from customer”. the amounts billed on customer for work performed and are unconditionally due for payment i.e only 
passage of time is required before payment falls due, are disclosed in the Balance sheet as trade receivables. the amount of 
retention money held by the customers pending completion of performance milestone is disclosed as part of contract asset 
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 :

(i)   effective april 1, 2018, Revenue from property development activities is recognised when performance obligation 
is satisfied, customer obtains control of the property transferred and a reasonable expectation of collection of the 
sale consideration from the customer exists. the costs incurred on property development activities are carried as 
“inventories” till such time the aforesaid conditions are fulfilled.

(ii)   For the periods ended on or before march 31, 2018, the revenue from the 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

e. 

in the case of the developmental project business and the realty business, revenue includes profit on sale of investment 
property or sale of stake in the subsidiary and/or joint venture companies as the sale/divestments are inherent in the business 
model.

F. 

Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering of services is recognised over time as and when the customer receives the benefit of the company’s 
performance and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for services transferred.

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 over a period of time when relevant services are rendered and related costs are incurred. 
Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised over a period of time 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.

G. 

income from interest-bearing loans is recognised on accrual basis over the life of the loans based on the effective yield. 
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.

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 (upto the date of sale) 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 represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognised when the 

performance obligation is satisfied and the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

(j)  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.  Government grants, which are revenue in nature and are towards compensation for the qualifying costs, incurred by the 
Group, are recognised as other 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 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.

d.  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.

(k)  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.

(l)  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.

(m)  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.

(n) 

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. 

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

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)

F. 

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	four	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 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.

(o) 

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.

(p)  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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)

(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.

(q)  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.

(ii)  operating leases:

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

a. 

lease rentals on assets taken 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)

(r)  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

Notes FoRminG PaRt oF tHe Consolidated FinanCial statements     annUal RePoRt 2018-19

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)

•	

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 
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

Note [1] (contd.)

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.

(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 premium 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 premium 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 premium 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

Note [1] (contd.)

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.

(s) 

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.

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.

(t)  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 bank balances.

(u)  securities premium

(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.

(v)  Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include finance costs 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 finance costs. in cases where hedging instruments are acquired for protection against exchange rate risk related to 
borrowings and are accounted as hedging a time-period related hedge item, the borrowing costs also include the amortisation 

450

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)

of premium element of the forward contract and foreign currency basis spread as applicable, over the period of the hedging 
instrument.

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.

(w)  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. the share based payment equivalent to the fair value as on the date 
of grant of employee stock options granted to key managerial personnel is disclosed as a related party transaction in the year of 
grant.

(x)  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 finance costs on those 
foreign	currency	borrowings;

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)  exchange rate as of the date on which the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability is recognised on payment or receipt 

of advance consideration is used for initial recognition of related asset, expense or income.

(iv)  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 interests is reflected as part of non-
controlling interests.

(y)  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 finance costs 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 finance costs 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 finance costs 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.

(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(w) 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.

(z)  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 applicable tax laws, 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.

452

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

Note [1] (contd.)

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.

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	realized.	Deferred	tax	assets	in	respect	of	
unutilised tax credits which mainly relate to minimum alternate tax and dividend distribution tax paid or payable by the subsidiary 
companies	are	recognized,	to	the	extent	it	is	probable	of	such	unutilised	tax	credits	will	get	realized,	in	the	period	in	which	such	
determination is made.

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.

(aa)  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.

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.

(ab) 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.

(ac) 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.

(ad) 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.

(ae) 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 trusts formed by the Parent Company and a few subsidiaries manage the investments of provident funds and 
gratuity funds. interest income on plan assets is determined by multiplying the fair value of the plan assets by the 
discount rate determined at the start of the annual reporting period.

the Group expects to fund R 111.90 crore (previous year: R 93.63	crore) towards its gratuity plan and R 143.83 crore 
(previous year: R 122.04 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2019-20.

For post-retirement medical benefit plan, the attrition rate varies from 1% to 11% (previous year: 1% to 12%) 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 loss.

(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.

(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 are 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 plans. 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, the unfunded portion 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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

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 group (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 nine reportable segments [described under “segment composition”] 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 seven 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.

Note [56]
disclosure pursuant to ind as 107 “Financial instruments: disclosures”: market risk management

(a)  Foreign exchange rate and interest rate risk:

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 
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 106.11	crore	as	at	March	31,	2019	and	R 59.93 crore as at march 31, 2018.

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, 2019 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 

524

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial statements (contd.)

Note [56] (contd.)

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 38.01 crore as at 
march 31, 2019 and +/-R 24.17 crore as at march 31, 2018. a 5% change in the equity funds, naV would result in a value change 
of +/- R 39.16	crore	as	at	March	31,	2019	and	+/-	R 17.19 crore as at march 31, 2018 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:

On	March	30,	2019,	the	Ministry	of	Corporate	Affairs	notified	Ind	AS	116	“Leases”,	applicable	in	respect	of	accounting	periods	
commencing on or after april 1, 2019.

Ind	AS	116	“Leases”	supersedes	AS	17	“Leases”	in	respect	of	accounting	periods	commencing	on	or	after	April	1,	2019.	Ind	AS	116	
sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. Pursuant to transition methods 
permitted	under	Ind	AS	116,	the	Group	is	proposing	to	use	“modified	retrospective	approach”	for	transitioning	to	Ind	AS	116	with	
effect from april 1, 2019. Under modified retrospective approach, cumulative effect of initially applying the accounting standard as 
at april 1, 2019 will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the financial year 2019-20 and 
figures for the financial year 2018-19 will not be restated as per the new accounting standard. With respect to existing leases as at the 
date of initial application of the accounting standard, the Group is proposing to use the practical expedient available on transition to 
Ind	AS	116	and	will	not	reassess	whether	a	contract	is	or	contains	a	lease	and	instead	apply	Ind	AS	116	only	to	the	contracts	that	were	
previously identified as lease applying ind as 17.

the Group has carried out an initial assessment of the impact of adopting this standard and there would not be any significant impact 
on the financial statements of the Group.

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.  The associate company is under liquidation process and investment is fully provided in the accounts.
