Business Developments
During the year, your Company acquired a majority
stake in mindtree Ltd., an iT-enabled services company.
This acquisition has helped the services segment of the
L&T Group to expand and contribute to higher revenues
and profits. Going forward, we are confident that the
contribution of the services businesses will exceed 40 per
cent of Group turnover. The process of integrating the staff
of mindtree and aligning common interests was completed
through the active engagement of top management. This is
now paying off through improved performance and growth.
L&T has been steadfastly following its 5-year Strategic plan
our approach covers a wide spectrum – ranging from
progressive reduction of carbon emission intensity at
our campuses and project sites, water conservation at
the locations we operate in and the phased induction of
alternative and recycled substitutes in our operations. The
health, safety and well-being of your Company’s staff and
all those who work at our factories and project sites are
accorded the highest priority.
Wherever we are and whatever we do, we make sure that
the communities around us see a tangible and durable
benefit from our presence. They see it in the shape of better
access to potable water, an improved level of sanitation,
and facilities for health, education and skill building. We
believe each of these steps contribute to building a happier
community which in turn will lead to a more harmonious
society.

RESPONSIBILITY
Anicut in Rajasthan - to help ease water stress in the area.
Building india’s Social infrastructure
L&T’s deep concern for the underprivileged stems from a philosophy of inclusive, sustainable growth and
development. Long before CSr was mandated by the Companies act 2013, L&T was providing health and educational
services to the underprivileged around its facilities. Today, L&T’s CSr programmes are well-entrenched, focusing on
areas that align with the global and national matrices of development: water & sanitation, health, education and skill-
building
WATER & SANiTATiON
Through its integrated Community Development
programme (iCDp), which L&T started in 2014-15,
water for drinking, sanitation and agriculture has been
made available to 5 formerly water-stressed locations in
rajasthan, maharashtra and Tamil nadu covering 25875
households across 11596 hectares.
infrastructure
The affected communities were involved in the
implementation of the solutions to their problems. Their
contributions, such as labour, were used to construct
water-harvesting structures. now, water for household
use is available for 2-3 extra months in a year for 95% of
the households as compared to 54% families in 2014. The
ground water level has increased in project locations by 2
metres on an average. resilience against fluctuating rainfall
cycles has been built. The project has been extended
to another 4 water-stressed locations covering 50,965
households since 2018.

The Government’s Swachha Bharat programme provided
an impetus to L&T’s existing rural sanitation drive. L&T
constructed over 1000 well-designed toilet-cum-bathrooms
using local skills and material. Community-based
monitoring committees ensured that these villages became
free of open-defecation. Today, 91% households have
toilets in the iCDp area, compared to 34% in 2014-15.
WASH initiative
as many schools in the project area lacked proper
sanitation facilities, L&T provided adequate Water,
Sanitation and hygiene (WaSh) infrastructure for over
3000 children and trained them in using toilets and keeping
their schools clean and hygienic.
Capacity Building
The communities concerned were trained to facilitate
optimum, equitable and efficient water use and implement
other agricultural methods and technology to increase their
yield.

Community groups were set up to maintain and regulate
the use of the structures and resources created through the
project and democratically manage the community fund.
Capacity building of these groups is undertaken regularly.

over the last three years, mithu’s yield has risen from 20 kg

The backbone of social development is education. it has
been accorded priority as part of L&T’s efforts towards

Engineering and mathematics (STEm), which intimidate
students from resource-poor schools. Therefore, this year,
L&T introduced the STEm ‘Engineering Futures’ project
in 103 upper primary Government schools. Teachers in
these schools were trained in collaborative and interactive
teaching methods to replace rote learning with experiential
learning. Students were encouraged to participate in
science exhibitions and competitions. parents were
encouraged to persuade their daughters to participate in
order to bridge the gender gap in STEm-related careers.
The STEM programme impacted 103 schools, 465
teachers and 23000 students this year.

toilet blocks and water stations for basic hygiene facilities,
kitchens and sports grounds. L&T has developed school
infrastructure that is child-friendly, learning-based and
fun-based.
Educational supplies: Supplies are provided to schools in
remote rural and tribal villages.
Balwadis: L&T improves the quality of balwadis and
anganwadis in urban slums and rural areas.
After-school community study centres: These centres
offer supplementary education to underprivileged children,
monitoring learning levels.
Capacity Building: Teacher training programmes are held

SkiLL DEVELOPMENT
a key strategy to realize the potential of india’s
demographic advantage is skill development. L&T
helps to create the human resources to improve india’s
competitiveness and growth – especially in construction
skills – by training underprivileged youth.
L&T’s Construction Skills Training institutes (CSTis) provide
free standardized industrial training to prepare the large
unorganised workforce to meet the demand for skilled
workers in india and abroad. The skills imparted include
bar-bending, formwork, electrical work, tiling, masonry,
welding, carpentry and solar electrical work.
With an emphasis on technology and innovation, new
courses have been introduced at the Smart City Skill
Development Center, hyderabad.
integral elements of all the skill-training deliverables are
digital training, digital study material, micro-learning
modules on mobile apps, augmented reality / Virtual
reality Training, safety, quality standards and soft skills
training. periodic online assessments are undertaken.
The hands-on training and the L&T certificate prepare the
trainees to earn and support their families. many have
found jobs abroad. L&T thus helps to bridge the schism
between the skill demands of industry and the aspirations
of the youth.
L&T has 9 CSTis in 8 states – Tamil nadu, maharashtra,
uttar pradesh, Telangana, orissa, Karnataka, Gujarat and
West Bengal.
This year, 10033 youth completed various courses at these
CSTis of which 7109 (71%) were employed.

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 and disclosure
practices, respect for human rights, individual dignity and
adherence to norms of moral and professional conduct.
L&T is a professionally managed indian multi-national and
committed to total customer satisfaction and enhanced
value creation. The vision of the Company is inclusive with
a culture of caring and trust supplemented with corporate
policies. These are also applicable to all its 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 and
vigilant towards ethical conduct of business processes and
instil a sense ownership of the Company. all designated
employees including Board members need to adhere to
and provide an annual declaration of their compliance with
the CoC.
a separate detailed CoC is in force for all other employees
covering supervisory, executive and management staff.
apart from a preamble explaining principles of honesty,
ethics and integrity, the Code covers all aspects of
functioning including anti-trust behaviour, information
security, insider trading rules, professional engagements,
use of Company assets and brand logo, intellectual
property, respect for human rights, overarching corporate
hr philosophy including equal opportunity employment,
prohibited items, social media code of conduct, use of
information technology assets, anti-bribery policies and
other aspects of individual governance codes. The Code
incorporates reporting structures and a graded escalation
matrix to be followed in case any breaches are noticed or
pointed out, including reference to the Whistle Blower
investigation Committee in appropriate cases. The Code is
also applicable to unlisted subsidiaries.
The CoC is available at https://investors.Larsentoubro.com/
CodeofConduct.aspx. periodic training is conducted for
relevant stakeholders to make them aware of the CoC
and amendments thereof. all new employees undergo
training on the CoC in induction / orientation programmes.
The training module on the CoC is also hosted on the
Company’s intranet-based ‘any Time Learning’ (aTL) portal.
newly inducted Graduate Engineering Trainees (GETs) and
post Graduate Engineering Trainees (pGETs) also learn
about the CoC in their ‘praYaG’ and ‘SWaGaT’ (special
orientation) training modules.
Whistle Blower Policy
The policy was formulated in 2004 and has been reviewed
and updated periodically. The policy aims to offer an
impartial vigilance mechanism in place for directors, senior
management and employees to report their concerns about
potential, suspected and actual frauds, unethical behaviour,
and violations of the CoC. The Whistle Blower policy is
an effective method available to employees to report –
without fear – any wrong practices, unethical behaviour or
non-compliance which may have a detrimental effect on
the organization, including financial damage and impact on
brand image.
During 2019-20, a total of 55 complaints were received
through the whistle-blower mechanism, all of which
were scrutinized and addressed in accordance with the
Company’s protocol. 54 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 whistle-blower at all times. The
stakeholder complaints are included in the Director’s report
section of the annual report.
The Whistle-blower policy has also been extended to
suppliers and contractors, which enables them to report
their concerns about unethical behaviour, misconduct,
violation of legal and other requirements, improper
practices, actual or suspected fraud by Company officials
- 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.
26
The Company has established a separate Code of Conduct
for suppliers and vendors which covers various aspects
such as compliance with environmental regulations,
health and safety, labour practices, human rights aspects,
minimum wages rule, freedom of association and collective
bargaining, prohibition on child labour, forced and
compulsory labour, ethical behaviour, reducing the negative
impact on society due to their operations, transparency in
business processes and environment conservation.
including one Green Factory and a certified Green Campus
(viz., the Leadership Development academy at 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.
Every new supplier needs to sign this CoC when he/she
wants to do business with the Company. So far, more than
43,000 suppliers have signed this CoC. Training workshops,
including capability-building programmes are periodically
conducted for vendors and sub-contractors, and cover
topics such as Environment, health & Safety (EhS), human
rights, business process improvements and sustainability.
The Company ensures compliance by its vendors and
suppliers to the CoC through periodic quality appraisals,
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 endeavour to provide safe and sustainable goods
and services to our clients. our business portfolio consists
of infrastructure, energy (oil & gas/power), defence, heavy
engineering, electrical & automation products, hydrocarbon
projects, iT, Technology 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, recycling
plants and solar pV-based power plants. These help our
clients contain pollution and conserve resources. at our
own campuses, we have 17 certified green buildings
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, emission control equipment and coal
gasifiers. our green portfolio is focused on minimizing
environmental impact, e.g. reduced water consumption,
carbon emissions, material consumption and reduced waste
generation. These help our clients to move onto the low-
carbon economy path.
The Company extensively participates in the ‘make in india’
programme and promotes local sourcing of products and
services. The transportation of material at the project sites
is optimized based on the project execution stage. many
of our infrastructure projects are at remote locations,
and therefore goods and services are procured from local
producers and surrounding areas as far as possible. L&T
has adopted the 3r (reduce, recycle & recover) principle
for material conservation. material recycling and the use
of alternative materials (in place of natural materials) are
extensively practiced by our infrastructure business. The
Sustainability roadmap 2021 targets increasing recycling /
use of recycled material by 5%.
Fly ash is used as a substitute to 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 practiced at project sites. however, since most
of our products are ‘engineered to order’ and based on
customer-specific requirements, the potential for use of
recycled material for products is limited.

Lonavala, near Mumbai
L&T’s Switchgear Training Centres promote good electrical
practices
Principle 3: Business should promote the
well-being of employees
The Company’s growth depends upon the growth of the
employees within the organization. The commitment,
enthusiasm and dedication of employees has helped L&T
become a large organisation of repute within india and
in other geographies where we operate. The Company
nurtures and motivates its talent pool through its
leadership programmes and other forms of monetary and
non-monetary incentives. The Company recognises that
employees spend a better part of their working lives at their
workplace. The organisation hence provides workplace
infrastructure that is conducive to the well being of staff
- this includes good iT infrastructure, ergonomic seating,
recreation areas, high standards of hygiene and other
services such as basic medical care facilities. The policies
of the Corporate human resources Department forms a
strong framework for workforce management. Fostering a
culture of caring and trust is embedded in various corporate
policies like the Environment, health & Safety (EhS) policy,
Whistle-Blower policy, protection of Women’s rights at
Workplace policy and the CoC.
L&T does not discriminate against employees based on
caste, religion, region, gender or physical disability, and
the merit of candidates is always accorded top priority for
selection and promotion. L&T adheres to the unGC (united
nation Global Compact) principles which include human
rights clauses. These clauses are part of our contracts with
suppliers, partners and nGos, and are extended across our
supply chain.
The Company recognizes the employees’ right to form
unions and associations affiliated with trade unions at its
manufacturing campuses. 5.67% of permanent employees
are covered under the unionized employee category.
L&T has provided direct employment to 83 persons With
Disabilities (pWDs) and the supply chain has employed 43
persons With Disabilities. in 2019-20, the Company did
not receive any complaint in respect of child labour, forced
/ involuntary labour or about sexual harassment at the
workplace.

Item No. 13
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, debt raising would be another source of
63
NOTICE ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
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 then 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 1, 2019, had approved issue
of Securities for an aggregate sum up to US$ 600
Million (or its rupee equivalent) or INR 4500 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
Shareholders’ approval is sought for renewal of the
approval.
64

the Shareholders.

of the Company and their relatives are concerned or
interested, in the resolution set out at Item No. 13.

CoMPaNY rESPoNSE To CoVId-19
During March 2020, the CoVID pandemic increased
rapidly forcing Governments of most countries to
enforce a lockdown of all activities. Heeding to the
73
Board RepoRt ANNUAL RepoRt 2019-20
various guidelines issued in India by the Central and
State Governments and abroad by various agencies on
the Covid-19 pandemic, all establishments, offices &
factories of the Company had shut down operations from
March 25, 2020. Your Company immediately took several
measures to ensure health and safety of its workers and
other employees and thereafter, steps were taken to
ensure business continuity of essential services including
Security and It lights-on operations. Special permissions
were also taken for ensuring that very critical operations
such as defence business, dewatering in Metro projects,
etc. continued with all the precautionary measures.
A Decision Response team was formed which consisted
of members from the executive Committee to assess the
situation and take appropriate decisions. Smaller teams/
task forces were set up at each location / site / factory /
manufacturing units etc to regularly monitor the situation.
Your Company employs more than 250,000 contract
labourers around various sites in India and abroad. Your
Company set up labour camps at their sites to house
these labourers including migrant labourers. During the
lockdown period, your Company ensured food, shelter
and medical facilities in these labour camps and timely
remittance of wages to workmen and payments to
subcontractors, directly to their bank accounts.
Your Company along with its subsidiary companies and
employees who donated two days salary, contributed
R 150 Crore to the pM-CAReS Fund, responding to the
call given by Hon’ble prime Minister of India. Additionally,
your Directors, executive Committee members, with
equivalent contribution from the Company, contributed
R 5.58 crore to the pM CAReS fund. Your Company
also provided a wide range of material assistance viz.,
donated medical equipment to various hospitals and
other institutions, distributed grocery kits and cooked
food to doctors, sanitation workers, stranded families
and migrant workers. Your Company has also extended
its technological expertise to partner with civic authorities
and the police to set up monitoring systems and manage
Command & Control Centers. Such centers are in
operation in over 20 cities including Mumbai, pune,
Nagpur, prayagraj, Ahmedabad, Visakhapatnam and
Hyderabad. As of date, your Company has re-purposed
sections of hospitals in Delhi, Dwarka, Bettiah,
puducherry, Kolkata and Gorakhpur to meet the needs of
CoVID patients.
For the quarter ended 31 March 2020, the impact due
to CoVID 19 on your Company’s revenues and net
profits was approximately R 1800 crore and R 400 crore
respectively. this was due to stoppage of work in almost
all the sites for the last part of March 2020 as well as the
disruption to the last mile work, like physical inspection,
customer clearance etc., that could not be completed due
to lockdown restrictions.
Your Company resumed partial service of operations
from April 14, 2020, after implementation of standard
protocols in line with the guidelines prescribed. As on
the date of this report, your Company has resumed
work in all offices/manufacturing units, barring some
establishments in Maharashtra where the employees
continue to Work from Home. 90% of the domestic
project sites of the Company are working with restricted
labour capacity. the Company is remobilizing the
workmen as a significant percentage of the migrant
workmen have gone back to their villages.
All international sites have also resumed work after some
interruptions. employees are working in a staggered
manner with mandatory rotation on a periodic basis and
in adherence to all the safety protocols.
In fact, all the plants and office establishments that have
started functioning have implemented safety and hygiene
protocols like wearing of face masks, social distancing
norms, workplace sanitation and employee awareness
programmes. the protocols are regularly reviewed and
updated based on revisions in guidelines received from
authorities concerned from time to time.
With the graded opening of sites and factories, the
Company is making every effort possible to make up for
the lost time, due to the pandemic, during the year. the
impact of the lockdown disruption is being assessed from
time to time. A lot depends on the success of the various
pandemic containment efforts being undertaken by the
State and Central Government and Health authorities.

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 dECLara TIoN
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
175
aNNEXUrE to tHe BoARD RepoRt ANNUAL RepoRt 2019-20
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 2019-20
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION
AND
ANALYSIS
The Indian economy has been exhibiting lacklustre growth
in the face of global volatility amidst weak manufacturing,
muted domestic demand and volatility in oil prices.
Real GDP growth has slowed down from 6.1 per cent
in fiscal 2018-19 to 4.2 per cent in the backdrop of the
slowdown in private consumption, lower tax collections,
fund allocation challenges at the State and Central
Government levels, and a sharp slowdown in credit
growth. To overcome the slowdown, various reforms
were announced by the Government in FY 2019-20, viz.
reduction in corporate tax rates, a scheme to provide a
one-time partial credit guarantee to public sector banks
(PSBs) for purchase of pooled assets of financially sound
non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), recapitalization
of public sector banks, relaxation of external commercial
borrowing guidelines for affordable housing, setting up of
a Realty Fund for stalled housing projects, merger of 10
public sector banks into four entities and revised Priority
Sector Lending (PSL) norms for exports.
Private sector investments continued to be muted in the
areas of industrial capex and building infrastructure. Public
sector spending, however, remained firm and was robust in
the areas of core infrastructure, driven by the Government’s
commitment to boost investment across multiple
infrastructure sectors. The Government also announced
the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) of projects worth
R 100+ lakh crore up to FY25, with a focus on energy,
roads, railways, urban infrastructure and irrigation projects
to provide a much-needed productivity boost to the
Indian economy and fulfil India’s aspiration to become a
USD 5 trillion economy by 2025. The NIP, coupled with
other ’pro-business’ policy initiatives, is expected to lead to
a rebound in domestic demand in the medium and long
term.
Global Economy
The global economy had its share of upheavals in the
year 2019-20. Amid prolonged trade disputes and wide-
ranging policy uncertainties, growth suffered broad-based
deterioration. Global trade has declined and there has
been a marked slowing-down in manufacturing activities,
even though the service-sector activity has held up to some
extent.
The escalation of tension between the US and China is
expected to further dampen global growth. The fall in
crude oil prices, occasioned by changes in the demand-
supply position and geopolitical events across OPEC+
countries, has also had an impact on commodity prices,
which have been largely depressed globally. The pandemic
has led to a sharp contraction in the demand for oil and
commodities, and recovery is likely to happen only after
global economies tide over the COvID-19 crisis. Fragilities
in the financial sector in a number of economies continue
to remain a concern, though this has been partly addressed
through increased liquidity, which has been boosted by
a series of stimulus measures undertaken by all large
economies.
182
COVID-19 Outbreak
The pandemic and the nationwide lockdown that it
triggered has dealt both demand and supply shocks to the
economy, with wide ramifications on revenue collections
and economic growth. It is likely to take quite some time
for the consequent stress in the economy to be relieved and
for growth to revive.
The crisis has prompted the Government to announce a
series of monetary and fiscal relief packages designed to
inject liquidity into the system and provide relief to stressed
sectors. While these stimulus measures will provide relief to
the affected people and some industries, the slowdown in
economic activity is expected to significantly lower India’s
GDP growth in FY 2020-21.
Global supply chains have also been threatened by the
pandemic. Governments around the world have been
quick to respond to the crisis by implementing meaningful
stimulus measures through a combination of fiscal and
monetary easing, increased health spending and direct
support to cover losses in incomes and revenues. Sustained
efforts from Governments, focused on these measures
could soften the economic impact of the Coronavirus.
Against this backdrop, the Company has undertaken a
series of measures to mitigate the crisis, which includes
securing the safety and livelihood of its staff and sub-
contracted labour working at project sites, curtailing and
reducing overheads at all operating levels, enhancing
liquidity on its Balance Sheet through increased market
borrowings and controlling working capital requirements
through a mix of judicious cashflow planning and measured
project execution.
Digital @ L&T
At L&T, digital technologies have made a significant
impact in data-driven decision making. Plant & Machinery
remote monitoring cells are a case in point; powered by
Industrial IoT and Artificial intelligence, these cells enable
remote monitoring, provide advanced analysis and insights,
and facilitate decision making for plant and machinery
operations. For instance, in one such remote monitoring
cell, a plant & machinery head is analysing equipment
productivity vs. internal hiring charges to take decisions on
hiring of concrete batching plants. An engineer zooms into
the dashboard of a tower crane operating thousands of
kilometres away to analyse and understand utilization and
lifting patterns. Factory heads are able to centrally monitor
and benchmark OEE of manufacturing plants located across
the country.
Today, more than 50 digital solutions have been deployed
across the organization – spanning bidding, engineering,
procurement, construction, manufacturing, supply chain,
safety, quality, customer experience and finance. These
digital solutions are designed and developed leveraging
Artificial Intelligence (Machine learning, Computer
183
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
vision, Natural Language Processing, Natural Language
Understanding, Conversational AI), Industrial IoT, Cloud
computing, virtual reality, Augmented reality, and
Geospatial technologies. All these solutions are deployed
at scale enabling significant improvement on operational
efficiency, accelerating project completion, enhancing
workplace safety and improving quality.
Digital for construction & project businesses
Asset Insight, L&T’s connected equipment platform,
acquires a variety of operational, performance and health
data from construction equipment, analyses this data by
leveraging advanced analytics, AI and machine learning,
and provides necessary insights to project and operations
personnel. Today, more than 11,000 equipment across
various project sites are connected to the Asset Insight,
streaming real-time equipment data. Insights derived from
the Asset Insight platform have enabled L&T to increase
equipment productivity, enhance capacity utilization,
right-size assets, improve fuel efficiency, reduce capital
expenditure and much more.
WISA – Worker Induction and Skills Application is an
end-to-end digital solution for smooth on-boarding of blue-
collar workers into construction sites. This solution spans
mobilization, screening of records, KYC, health screening,
skill grading, attendance management, performance
records and observations, appreciations, violations, and
training management. Today more than 300,000 workers
are on-boarded in WISA. This solution extensively leverages
mobile technologies, statistical analysis, and artificial
intelligence to provide insights that have enabled faster
mobilization of workers, reduction in on-boarding lead
time and better understanding of the demographics and
performance of our workforce.
Integrated safety platform provides holistic visibility,
analysis and insights to improve workplace safety across all
construction sites. More than 10,000 forms are submitted
digitally every day giving visibility into prestart checklists,
work permits, near misses, incidents, safety observations,
inspections, audit findings, safe and unsafe conditions.
This data is analysed to arrive at an integrated safety
performance score-card. Natural language processing
helps in analysing the free text entered in the forms to
categorize the safety incidents and provide targeted safety
training. Computer vision helps detect safe and unsafe
conditions and acts based on the photographs captured
during the form submissions and using the CCTv footage.
More than 50 virtual Reality (vR) based safety modules
have been created, covering different scenarios such as
working at height, excavation, tower construction and
so on. These vR modules are pre-installed in portable vR
devices and distributed across various construction sites.
Safety awareness sessions for workers using these vR
modules create a vivid immersive experience about safe
work practices.
At the place, by the person, at the time of work: This
is the guiding principle of Procube, a progress-monitoring
solution. This mobile-enabled solution helps capture
project progress information in near-real-time. This data
is further analysed using statistical analysis and machine-
learning techniques to provide insights to different project
management stakeholders with role-based visualization.
These insights enable project managers and operations
personnel to take informed decisions for removing
constraints and adding resources that enable timely
completion of projects.
Geospatial solutions use a range of sensors (Lidar, Radar,
Sonar, Thermal, Optical) mounted on multiple platforms
(Terrestrial, Mobile, Aerial) for capturing geographical
information. A variety of analyses – such as temporal
analysis, flood flow analysis, cut-fill analysis and quantity
estimations – are performed on this data to provide
location-based intelligence and insights. This is further
integrated with data from other digital solutions to provide
map-based integrated dashboards and visualizations to
different stakeholders. These solutions enable multi-fold
improvements in accuracy and time taken to acquire and
analyze geographical information. This results in better
design and estimation as well as faster start of procurement
and execution.
These digital solutions provide high-velocity data with
a significant volume and huge variety. Alchemy, an
advanced analytics and artificial intelligence initiative, helps
in understanding, analysing and deriving insights from this
data. For instance, statistical analysis is used extensively
on weighbridge data to detect weighment anomalies and
provide real-time alerts. Natural language processing helps
in automatically comprehending large complex contract
documents and flag risky clauses. Machine learning
techniques are used for analysing equipment condition
and predicting failure to improve equipment availability.
Conversational AI is used to provide seamless interaction
between humans and systems through FAQ bots,
information bots, transaction bots, and knowledge bots.
Digital for manufacturing businesses
Embracing Industry 4.0: The Internet of Things for
manufacturing has been applied to connect machines,
cranes, welding machines and other equipment across
various manufacturing plants for remote monitoring and
maintenance. Installing multiple sensors and intelligent
184
gateways on the machines and equipment enables the
business to obtain real-time operational, production and
condition-based data without human intervention. Some
of these data points are location, movement, arcing
time, switch on and switch off time, idling time, work
done, number of hours worked, pressure, temperature
and welding consumables consumption and many other
variables, depending on the type of equipment.
Laser & Radiography: These technologies have helped
reduce the job set-up times from days to hours, automate
non-destructive quality testing methods and integrate
manufacturing processes for real-time information visibility.
Mobile Applications: All digital applications are made
mobile first to ensure real-time, anytime and anywhere
information visibility across the enterprise.
Smart Glass: These wearables allow our customers to
undertake remote inspection of their work-in-process
orders in a collaborative manner. This has helped the
Company to save the time and energy spent on third party
or customer inspections, thereby facilitating faster time-to-
market of products and faster delivery of customer orders.
RFID / Near-field communications (NFC) / Beacons:
These technologies have been widely used for real-time
monitoring of workers entering hazardous areas,
monitoring and tracking of materials across the supply
chain, monitoring of materials at open-storage locations
and tracking of moving assets across project sites.
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are used to
create captivating experiences such as augmented technical
training of products, enabling the sales team to gain a
higher order conversion ratio and an immersive 360-degree
view of products. This technology has also been applied to
increase the work safety at project sites. The application
of this technology in scenarios such as working at heights,
material handling, working in confined spaces, heavy
vehicle management, high temperature welding and
working in marine environments has helped create a vivid
immersive experience and imprint the rules of safety firmly
on the minds of the workers.
Artificial Intelligence is used across the value chain
in applications such as cognitive comprehension of bid
documents, price prediction, image analytics to automate
quality testing, contractual risk analysis and auto-validation
of in-bound material quality.
Implementation, Change Management &
Benefit Realization
Over the last four years, digital solutions have been rolled
out pervasively across the business with speed and scale
at every project site and every manufacturing plant.
Employees on the field actively use these digital solutions.
This has been made possible by continuous engagement,
training, active change management and governance.
L&T is a diversified organization with a variety of
businesses. Its Digital Council is a confluence of digital
leaders from all L&T businesses under the aegis of the Chief
Digital Officer of L&T. The Council provides a platform to
discuss ideas, understand challenges, adopt best practices,
leverage technologies and solutions implemented across
different businesses. It provides the necessary direction,
governance and oversight for driving digital initiatives
within L&T.
With digital solutions deployed at scale, cyber security
assumes paramount importance. All the digital solutions
are designed and developed with in-built security principles
under the guidance of the Company’s Chief Information
Security Officer. All the solutions are subjected to
frequent security reviews, testing and monitoring. Regular
governance meetings involving the CISO team and the
Digital Council enable key digital stakeholders to take
stock of the current status, understand the cyber risks, and
adopt relevant mitigations and counter-measures towards
enhancing cyber security.
SPEED, a structured programme for benefit realization
from digital solutions, has been in operation for the past
2 years. This programme has different tracks for driving
adoption of digital solutions, programme management and
governance, KPIs and benchmarking, and driving actions
based on insights derived from digital solutions. The SPEED
programme has helped create significant business impact
from digital solutions.
Outlook
Digital transformation can be broadly categorized into
four areas; transforming operations, building connected
products and services, transforming customer experience,
and creating new business models enabled by digital. So far
in L&T, the digital solutions were focussed on transforming
operations. The Company is now in the process of
developing digital solutions in the areas of connected
products and services and customer experience.
Digital solutions have assumed greater importance in the
current environment. The progress made in digitalisation
will put the group in an advantageous position to leverage
technology to devise newer ways of working safely and
efficiently under ever-changing circumstances.
Further, with in-house success, the digital solutions are
ready to be marketed, creating a new business portfolio for
the organisation.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Information Technology
The business environment today is rapidly evolving with
the emergence of new technologies, and a high-stakes
global game of digital disruption is currently under way.
It is fuelled by the latest wave of technology: advances in
Artificial Intelligence, data analytics, robotics, the Internet
of Things, and new software-enabled industrial platforms
that incorporate all these technologies and more. Every
enterprise leader recognizes that, as a result, the prevailing
business models and the way of working in his or her
industry could drastically and fundamentally change. Add
to this, the interconnections between corporate networks
and other networks to conduct business online. The
technology innovations being rapidly adopted online have
created access across people, information, systems and
assets worldwide. We are today, in the true sense of the
word, a network-delivered society.
At L&T, we are constantly enabling business with such
innovative technologies to enable collaboration between
individuals, and between people and machines. This
reduces friction and deepens insights to facilitate
quick decision making. It is not enough to just bring in
technology; its adoption is far more important. A special
IT group is formed to handhold the users. Technology
always has a flip side – and that is cybersecurity. A special
taskforce has been formed under Chief Information
Security Officer (CISO) to keep a tab on all such
developments, guide the organization and create a cyber-
safe environment to conduct business.
The proof of virtual presence through IT was put to test
when, due to the sudden disruption caused by COvID-19,
the staff had to shift to Work From Home (WFH) mode
for the first time. The IT systems built over the period
ensured a smooth transition. In addition, the Company’s IT
infrastructure was upgraded / modified on a war-footing
to enable WFH for almost all the employees and also
enable them to connect across locations without worrying
about productivity dips. Adequate training was provided
to employees to enable them to handle such situations.
Additional cybersecurity controls and 24x7 monitoring
mechanisms were implemented. This enabled the Company
to execute business as usual in unusual times.
Human Resources
Manpower - the key resource in business and more so in
project and services businesses - is the pillar of business
growth. A strong organisation supported by an evolving
leadership continues to play a key role in the success of
a business. L&T can confidently affirm having a robust
leadership pipeline to support current and future business
requirements. The Company’s signature leadership
development practices continue to be designed and
deployed so that leaders are identified, developed and
groomed to take up larger responsibilities, faster. The
Development Centres, pivotal to the Company’s core
philosophy of grooming internal talent, ensure that the
right leadership talent is identified through a rigorous
process. To reflect the changing business context and the
required leadership capabilities, the Development Centres
have been revamped across different levels. Additionally,
they have been digitised and training can be imparted
virtually. The outcomes of Development Centres are used
for talent management, succession planning, training and
leadership development.
The Development Centre’s efforts are augmented by
the Seven-Step Leadership Programme, developed
in-house. The programme provides access to world-class
management gurus from the most reputed institutions
from across the globe and curates learning experiences
which are not only transformational for the participants
but result in breakthrough outcomes for the organization.
The Action Learning Projects that participants undertake
not only help them to assimilate and apply the learnings
but also to work on live business improvement projects
under the guidance of high-calibre business leaders. The
mentoring programme, in which senior executives including
the Group Chairman, CEO & MD and other Directors and
Business Heads mentor emerging leaders, serves as the
ultimate leadership experience that few organizations can
provide. These initiatives have ensured a steady talent pool
of leaders.
The Company has been developing project management
capabilities which are key for the success of its core
businesses through its Project Leadership Programme.
This will augment the project execution capability building
efforts spearheaded by the in-house Institute of Project
Management.
L&T’s Leadership Development Academy at Lonavala,
its captive Technical Training Institutes along with the
Corporate Learning and Development Centre, continue to
provide a world-class learning eco-system with high quality
and business-relevant capability-building programmes that
augment the skills and abilities of the human resources of
the Company.
To sustain a culture of safety, which is of paramount
importance for the Company, the Corporate Learning &
Development team offers specialized programmes to train
employees and integrate safety in every aspect of work. To
develop internal training capabilities in EHS, the Company
has partnered with the National Examination Board in
Occupational Safety & Health (NEBOSH) and The Institution
186
of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) to become an
accredited course provider for its employees.
L&T’s Corporate Technology & Engineering Academy
(CTEA), with centres at Madh and Mysuru, plays a
critical role in bridging the skill gap of young engineers,
making them job-ready and focussing on developing their
technical competence by providing hands-on training in
contemporary technologies.
L&T has been at the forefront of digital learning. Its
state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning-driven learning experience platform ATLNext won
the prestigious People Matters - Learning & Development
Award 2019 in the ‘Best in L&D Technology and Analytics’
category.
The digitalisation of HR processes received further impetus
during 2019-20. The digital roadmap put in place an
integrated cloud-based platform to anchor all talent
processes. This platform harbours a contemporary and
transparent interface for the employees and includes HR
processes as diverse as employee life cycle operations,
performance management, leadership development,
efficient query management and robust data for HR
Analytics. In addition, digital platforms are being planned
for talent acquisition and learning management; these
digital platforms will be seamlessly integrated with
existing platforms so as to provide a superior employee
experience and to be leveraged for organization-level talent
interventions, reviews and data-driven decision making.
These investments in digitalisation of HR processes ensured
minimal disruption to work during the COvID-19 crisis,
ensuring that employees are productive and engaged while
working remotely during the lockdown.
L&T continued to be recognised externally for its Human
Resources practices. Forbes magazine again named L&T
amongst the global best employers. The 2019 Randstad
Most Attractive Employer Brand Research ranked L&T #6.
Business Standard named L&T ‘The Company of The Year’.
Apart from these accolades, L&T received other rankings,
such as the Business World ranking of #12 in the Most
Respected Companies list, Business Today, People Strong
ranking at #13 in the Best Companies to Work for 2020,
Universum ranking at #7 as Most Attractive Employers in
India amongst engineering students – affirming its stature
as a strong employer brand. The signature Technology
Leadership Programme for the Defence business received
the SHRM HR Excellence Award 2019 – recognition as a
best practice in developing leaders for tomorrow.
COVID-19 Response
The HR response to COvID-19 was timely, caring and
effective, ensuring the safety of over 250000 personnel
operating across 200+ sites and offices in India and
overseas.
As soon as the first signs of the pandemic emerged, a
robust structure and comprehensive process was put in
place to collate information and take quick decisions.
Under the aegis of the Executive Committee, a Direct
Response Team comprising senior executives was set
up. This was followed by local leadership teams being
set up for the respective businesses, regions, projects,
clusters, manufacturing sites and offices. The HR Council,
comprising HR Heads of the businesses, swung into action
to integrate the efforts at the enterprise and local levels.
A system of daily monitoring and reporting of COvID-19
suspected and positive cases was put in place.
Periodic health advisories and SOPs were issued on what
steps should be taken towards the safety of employees,
contractual personnel and their families, apart from the
security of business assets. These ensured timely, clear
and consistent communication. Government orders were
suitably communicated to ensure strict compliance. In the
wake of the lockdown, adequate measures were taken
with speed and agility – including setting up a medical
helpline, a counselling helpline and the necessary IT
infrastructure to facilitate ‘Work From Home’.
Work From Home guidelines were issued, and detailed
plans and infrastructure was put in place to ensure that
employees not only complied with the Government
guidelines to stay safe but also remain engaged and
productive while working from home. Additional e-learning
and virtual training infrastructure was immediately set up
to facilitate capability-building. A host of webinars curated
in-house, by academic institutions and training partners
were offered to employees on a wide range of themes
relevant to business as well as mental well-being. Taskforces
were set up to take up projects for process improvements
and various other initiatives.
The CEO & MD and the Business Heads have undertaken
a massive communication exercise through different
media to reach out to all employees and apprise them
of the current situation, what actions were to be taken
and how the future was likely to unfold. This served as
a very effective platform for top-down and bottom-up
communication.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INFRASTRUCTURE BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
INFRASTRUCTURE
BUSINESS
Sector Performance in FY 2019-2020
The Infrastructure sector is a key driver for the
Indian economy, and contributes to India’s overall
development. The sector, accordingly, receives focused
attention and resource allocation from both Central and
State Governments.
FY 2019-20 was a challenging year both for the Indian
economy, which performed below its true potential,
as well as the construction sector, which recorded a
six-year low growth of 1.3%.
Cement production saw a marginal decrease of 0.8%
in FY 2019-20 as compared to 13.3% increase in FY
2018-19. India’s crude steel production was down
by 1.5 percent and finished steel production was flat
at 109.2 MT in FY 2019-20 against 110.9 MT in FY
2018-19.
Despite the challenges, the Government’s thrust areas
continued to provide a business opportunity basket
for the Company, which was in the pole position to
capitalize on the business prospects that came to
fruition during the year. The continuing weakness in
the Realty sector was countered with a Government
focused boost to the affordable mass housing and
health segments. With the Government’s focus on
improving air-connectivity, opportunities in the airport
segment continue to arise at periodic intervals.
Al Wakrah Bypass Road Project, Qatar
The construction of highways slowed to 28 km a day
during FY 2019-20, from 29.7 km a day achieved in FY
2018-19. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is
hopeful of increasing it to 32 km a day in FY 2020-21.
Competition in this sector has increased with a higher
frequency of smaller-sized bids attracting interest
from smaller players. This sector is also beset with
challenging payment terms in Government tenders
coupled with slow progress in land acquisition.
With a discernable thrust on renewable energy, the
award of some contracts in this area has been gaining
momentum, which has offset the tapering of prospects
on centrally sponsored intensive electrification projects
under the ‘Saubhagya’ initiatives. As on March 31,
2020, over 26 million households have been provided
with electricity connections under the Scheme.
As the implementation of Mass Rapid Transit System
(MRTS) at various metros progressed well, the
Government’s focus has turned to Tier II cities, and
opportunities are being sighted there.
The Government’s emphasis on augmenting local water
resources launched under the Jal Jeevan Mission is also
giving rise to good prospects.
Under the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), roads,
urban and housing, railways, power (renewable and
188
Hyderabad International Airport, Telangana
conventional) and irrigation comprise ~80% of the total
plan. This investment and initiative from the Government
will create a good opportunity for the infrastructure sector
in the coming years.
Public sector spending on the Infrastructure sector, as a
whole, continues to witness focused attention through a
combination of Central, State Government and PSU capex.
The combined Budgetary Capex spends (including PSU
Capex) amount to over R 16 lakh crore for FY 2020-21,
which translates to over 7% of expected nominal GDP.
The COvID-19 crisis is likely to adversely affect revenue
collections and GDP growth in FY 2020-21, which in turn
could lead to contraction of spends on Infrastructure. The
Central and State Governments are attempting to mitigate
the impact of lower tax collections through significantly
higher market borrowings than originally budgeted for the
year FY 2020-21, and the increase could be in the region of
R 9 lakh crore. Multi-lateral funding of projects, which has
increased in recent years, is providing additional resources
for building infrastructure within the country.
On the international front, amid geo-political upheavals,
the Middle East countries have been investing in
non-oil capex as well, which has offered some business
opportunities to the Company, especially in Saudi Arabia
and the UAE. Geographical diversification has been yielding
results in the last few years, and the segment saw some
big-value successes in countries other than the Middle East
region.
The Infrastructure business, which faces normal execution
challenges in terms of ‘Right of Way’ and delayed client
clearances, encountered some unprecedented issues
in FY 2019-20. Change in some State Governments,
led to reassessment of awarded contracts, while some
environmental-related work stoppages adversely affected
work progress in some projects. The impact of these
challenges was accentuated with the onset of the
pandemic in the last fortnight of the financial year, which
slowed down the economy, with the lockdown being
implemented by various Governments. The pandemic has
affected execution in the last quarter of the year, which
otherwise is the busiest quarter for the segment in terms
of progress and collections. This has had an impact on
both revenues and profits, since the sites had to be shut
temporarily.
With the changing environment, the project sites are also
required to adapt to a new set of norms for continuation
of work, which will hamper progress for some time. The
impact of the pandemic is expected to continue into the
next financial year, and may taper off as normalcy gradually
returns.

construction technologies such as Prefabricated
Academic Block for West Bengal Medical College
Asian Paints Factory, Mysuru
Prefinished volumetric Construction, Offsite
Manufacturing, Structural Steel Construction and
3D printing.
the health care segment, in which B&F has a proven
expertise of handling design, turnkey execution including
the supply and commissioning of medical equipment.
A state-of-the-art design facility, competency cells,
advanced formwork systems, highly mechanized
project execution, digitalized project control and
a talented pool of employees helps sustain the
leadership position of the business, retain key
customers and secure major orders. An efficient
supply chain and extraordinary project management
expertise, acquired over decades, adds to the
competitive edge.
Business Environment
The Indian economy started the year FY20 on a high note
with higher GDP growth projections of up to 8% year
on year. Government of India’s intention to drive more
investments into developing infrastructure and thereby
improving the growth, was evident in the Union Budget
2020. The tax sops for sovereign wealth funds investing in
infrastructure sector, proposal of an Investment Clearance
Cell, viability gap funding for projects in healthcare and
logistics were some of the initiatives proposed. The
allocation of funds towards the National Infrastructure
Pipeline, announced earlier by the Finance Minister, has also
offered promise to the Infrastructure industry, specifically
The data localization policy has also paved the way for
more Datacenters in India, a segment in which B&F has
concept to commissioning capabilities.
The real estate industry was the focal point of the Indian
economy in FY 2019-20, but not for the ideal reasons.
The Government of India had announced substantial relief
packages to support the real estate industry by improving
liquidity and enabling developers to come out of stuck
realty projects. However, sizeable orders emerged from the
affordable and mass housing industry and major developers
from elite housing business were making a move to capture
the market in this segment.
Assembly elections and the political instability that followed
had created problems viz. delayed tender results and lack of
clarity in governmental policies and decisions in this fiscal.
Additionally, the spread of the COvID-19 pandemic
towards the end of the financial year and the consequential
lockdown has posed severe concerns for the economy.
Construction activities across the country have been
impacted due to the lockdown.

The Digital Stores initiative has digitized the processes of
indent generation, approval, material issue and indent
creation in an ERP system. The data generated through this
application has helped in better inventory management.
Significant Initiatives
The business has been the frontrunner in developing
digital applications customized to serve its project sites
in streamlining various activities and statutory processes.
Apart from the consistent success in employing advanced
Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction,
the business was able to leverage the latest technologies
like Geospatial Information System, Image Recognition,
Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Process Automation
through various applications developed in-house.
Geospatial technology using LiDAR (Light Detection
and Ranging) was utilized to map existing structures
and create 3D models. The Workforce Induction and
Screening Application (WISA) is extensively used to digitize
the workmen induction process and build a database
of over 2 lakh workmen including their skill details and
images captured using face recognition technology.
Robotic Process automation helps in replacing human
effort in mundane activities like indent creation and other
accounting functions.
Using 3D-printing technology, the team successfully printed
a 2.8 m-high residential building at Kancheepuram, the
first full-scale 3D-printed building in India. The mix design
developed by the team enabled the use of crusher sand
in 3D printing of concrete for the first time in the world.
Further research is in progress.
Environment, Health and Safety
The business has rolled out its EHS Professional
Development Programme (EHSPDP) and comprehensive Risk
Management training for front-line engineers to ensure
better EHS practices.
In an effort to develop a positive safety culture based on
the principles of BBS (Behaviour Based Safety), SIM (Safety
Improvements made by Me) has been introduced. To date,
more than 4000 interventions (SIM cards) were made at all
levels of employees at the project sites.
As a testimony of superior EHS standards, the business was
certified for ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety
on June 13, 2019 by M/s DNvGL.

• 18 National Safety Council awards in various categories
The business has also taken up several initiatives to
safeguard employees and workmen within the country and
abroad at the onset of the pandemic. The various project
sites across India are housing workmen in labour camps
equipped with all essential facilities, medical care and
competent supervision. COvID-19 Emergency Response
Teams (ERT) constituted at the cluster-level pan-India are
tasked with reaching out to staff, especially those at project
sites, to check on their well-being.
The business has also banned the use of single use plastic
in all forms across all offices, sites and establishments.
Human Resources
With people as the prime assets, the business ensures that
it nurtures talent through new initiatives and value-adding
training programmes. The business has introduced a Testing
& Commissioning Management Development Programme
to develop a specialist group of individuals to deliver Testing
& Commissioning of Airports, Data Centres and Smart
Buildings. To further develop a specialist group of ‘Finishes
professionals’, a customized programme covering Masonry
& Plaster, Dry Finishes, Wet Finishes, Interiors and Façades
was launched in December 2019.
Risks and Concerns
The housing and real estate business is increasingly
witnessing the political risks of Government decisions being
reversed and projects halted due to changes in regime in
the States. A robust political risk index is conceived and
being developed to effectively identify and mitigate the
same at the bidding stage.
In the case of a few projects, specifically Government
projects, hand-over of encumbrance-free sites on time,
remains a key issue that halts the project’s momentum.
In jobs executed on a design-and-build contract
basis, frequent changes in design by the client and
194
Prestige Song of South, Bengaluru

client-appointed consultants are a huge concern. Though
in-house Engineering, Design & Research Centre (EDRC) is
proactive and is improving continuously by documenting
and implementing the learning from previous experiences
in new jobs, unexpected changes suggested by clients
hinder timely completion of jobs. Such changes are
thoroughly documented and communicated to clients by
the Contracts Administration team to pursue claims.
The strategy of the business to develop a specialized
vertical – B&F Fast – to modularize, standardize and focus
on ‘prefab plus assembly’ building solutions for different
types of buildings is a step towards mitigating the growing
risk of the non-availability of skilled manpower in the
industry. The solution will also cater to the increasing need
of customers for quicker construction.
Presently, the world economy is facing a downturn
triggered by the COvID-19 pandemic, which has spread to
almost all the countries across the globe. The Infrastructure
industry is among one of the badly affected industries due
to the contagion-led lockdown and eventual new norms
of working. It has also impacted the supply chain and the
availability of the workforce.
The business is working on identifying different scenarios
and preparing contingency plans for each scenario. All
necessary measures are being taken to ensure the collection
of payments due and to have a hard look at fixed costs and
optimize overheads during the lockdown period.
Outlook
Currently the economy is opening up with restrictions on
construction activities completely lifted.
The lockdown has led to a reduction in consumption
demand in the country, leaving government spending
in social sectors as the key driver of economic growth.
The opportunities for the business in the upcoming year
will be majorly from Healthcare industry, as increased
government spending is expected in this segment. Also,
there is a negative sentiment about China and many
countries currently are looking to move out of China which
was their manufacturing base. This is expected to trigger
opportunities for the factories segment in B&F as most
companies are likely to set up their manufacturing
establishments in India. However, the commercial
and residential real estate business in the country will
witness a prolonged impact of the pandemic. The
investments into the development of Airport construction
may slow down and are expected to rebound only during
the latter part of FY 21.
The major challenge for the construction industry will
be supply chain disruptions including limited availability
of labourers as the migrant workers constituted a very
large share of the workforce. The business has already
initiated the implementation of long-term solutions to face
such challenges like reducing the dependency on human
resources by leveraging advanced construction technology.

Also, the business is considering implementation of
techniques like Zero Based Budgeting for cutting down
unnecessary expenses and optimizing resource utilization.
On the international front, B&F will employ a cautious
approach in the Middle East and also while exploring
opportunities to enter new geographies like Bangladesh
and Africa.
The business is confident of its ability to tide over the
challenges arising from subdued demand and executional
challenges through its customer- centric approach,
construction expertise and technology leadership in the
industry.
TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE
Overview:
L&T’s Transportation Infrastructure business (TI)
is one of the oldest, largest and most reputed
EPC contractors in India in the Road, Railway and
Airport sectors and has two Strategic Business
Groups (SBGs), namely, Roads, Runways & Elevated
Corridors (RREC) and Railways Business Group
(RBG).
196
The RREC’s major business unit, the Roads
& Runways BU (R&R), provides EPC Design
& Build Construction services for all types
of roads (asphalt and concrete) including all
associated structures, cross drainage, toll booths,
wayside amenities, etc., to NHAI, MoRTH, State
Governments and certain private clients. In
the Airport sector, the R&R BU undertakes EPC
construction of complete airside infrastructure,
namely, runways, taxiways, aprons, airfield ground
lighting, fuel hydrant systems, etc., both greenfield
and brownfield. The R&R BU is also a pioneer in
providing complete civil infrastructure for greenfield
city infrastructure projects, e.g. Smart Cities. The
Elevated Corridor Segment (EC) is engaged in EPC
construction of all types of urban flyover projects for
City Traffic Decongestion, and the Dedicated Freight
Corridor Corporation of India (DFCC) - civil works
projects in both the Eastern and Western Dedicated
Freight Corridors.
The Railways SBG (RBG) consists of the Mainline
Business Unit (MLBU) and the Metro Business Unit
(MTBU). The MLBU provides EPC construction
services for all Mainline Railway Projects, Western
& Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridors including
Track Laying, Overhead Electrification, Dedicated
Railway Linking for Port & Mining facilities, etc.
Area Development Works, Bidkin, Maharashtra
Runway for Bengaluru International Airport
The MTBU executes EPC projects for all Signalling
& Telecommunication Systems Works, Mass Rapid
System Projects for metro projects in India, Riyadh
Metro, Dhaka Metro and end-to-end Integrated
Transit System complete with Civil and Systems
Works (Mauritius Light Rail Transit – LRT).
On the international front, the business recently
completed several large and complex road
projects in the UAE, Oman and Qatar. The RBG is
currently executing major projects in Mauritius and
Bangladesh.
The business leverages its vast experience in project
management, engineering design and construction
management to achieve international standards
of safety, quality and operational efficiency. It has
engineering design centres in Mumbai, Faridabad
and Chennai. In addition, it has a Competency
Development Centre at Kancheepuram for the RBG
and a Workmen Training Centre at Ahmedabad
for the RREC. In FY 2019-20, the transportation
infrastructure business has executed approximately
1 million sq. mtr. of airside construction, 1347 lane
km of roads, 389 km of track linking and 981 km of
Railway Electrification (OHE).
Business Environment
a) Roads, Runways & Elevated Corridors
Over the last 5 years, the budgetary support for road
construction has seen a steady increase. However, the
award of contracts has shrunk significantly in FY 2019-20
owing to land- acquisition issues. The delay in the financial
closure of Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) projects has
impacted the Government’s ambition to infuse private
investment into the sector. Any shift towards a higher
proportion of EPC projects will impact NHAI’s awarding
capability due to higher funding requirement for civil
works related to EPC projects. Due to difficult contractual
terms, the working capital requirement for road projects
is becoming very high. The delays in settling contractual
issues like extension of time, arbitration award, etc., are
compounding problems. In FY 2019-20, approximately
5,100 km of road were awarded and 9,855 km of road
were constructed. Construction of highways at 28 km/day
in 2019-20, has been steady from FY 2017-18 onwards,
with an increased focus on delivery of projects. The
market continues to have many small EPC contractors,
consequently intensifying the competition.
In the year 2019-20, a few major airports have been
initiated, such as the Delhi International Airport and Navi
Mumbai International Airport, providing opportunities for
the business.
197
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INFRASTRUCTURE BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Rewa-Katni-Jabalpur Road
City Infrastructure Development has seen a lull in orders in
FY 2019-20, with no significant awards. The Delhi–Mumbai
industrial corridor is at an advanced stage, with multiple
projects substantially completed in Dholera and Bidkin
industrial township.
The Government announced a National Infrastructure
Pipeline with a total outlay of R 100+ lakh crore for
FY20-FY25. Out of this, 19% of the capital expenditure
is earmarked for Roads, which is expected to give a
considerable boost to the sector.
b) Railways:
The Indian Railways (IR) has significantly improved its
EPC tendering model. The new EPC tender document
(Single Stage 2 packet) has been finalized, with industry
suggestions suitably incorporated. However, the IR needs
successful and faster implementation of EPC tendering. No
major project was awarded in FY 2019-20.
High Speed Rail, the tendering for which was expected
to gather momentum, has been deferred, with the major
bids being extended multiple times. Steady projects in
metro rails in various States are expected to help increase
business. The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) component
has been made mandatory for availing Central assistance
for new metro projects.
Major Orders

Earthwork in filling and record of executing 20.30 lakhs
cu.m in May 2019
• Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway Project, Mumbai–vadodara
Road Project - 80% design completed in 6 months’ time
Significant Initiatives
The major fixed cost for the RREC business includes hiring
charges for asset operation & maintenance, fuel, etc.
Special initiatives of P&M as a profit centre with a focus
on productivity-driven decision-making have resulted in
cost-reduction on all these fronts.
The business continues to leverage the benefits of the
extensive use of Linear Project Management tools, such as
TILOS, to effectively visualize and plan mega linear projects
across domains. Driven by a dedicated ‘Track Planning Cell’,
this strategic initiative facilitates centralized planning of not
only civil and track projects but also mega OHE (Overhead
Electrification) projects.
An Internal Project Management Consultant (IPMC)
team was formed to conduct a quality audit of ongoing
projects. The team will ensure that construction complies
with design specifications, specified materials are used
during construction, codal specifications meet with
the requirements, as well as review the status of non-
conformance reports and aid closure.

Bata Nagar Flyover, Kolkata, West Bengal
Engineering Project Monitoring & Control Cell was
formed under the project controls team and tasked with
development of a design and drawing tracker to monitor
the delivery with respect to agreed time lines, optimization
of quantities with respect to initial design, coordination and
monitoring of the actual quantity reported by the design
department progressively and development of a model
for indices for quantities of projects of a similar nature to
support ongoing projects and the tendering department.
The thrust on mechanization in the railway business for
faster execution has been a remarkable success, involving
simultaneous stringing of Contact and Catenary, which
reduces operational costs and execution time. Having been
well-established in DFCC, such mechanization is also being
used in other EPC projects, such as the Konkan Railway in
the Western Ghats – a project requiring OHE installations
amidst highly restrictive ‘block sections’ involving
significant material handling and extraordinary erection
methodologies.
Digitalisation
Connected assets and geospatial solutions are two
high-impact solutions for the business. Digital data now
backs the majority of equipment mobilization and hiring
decisions, as well as fuel distribution. On the geospatial
front, drone-based photogrammetry or LiDAR-based
surveys are conducted wherever possible for every new
project.
Work has commenced on an Artificial Intelligence (AI)
based Contracts Administration Platform to introduce
smarter ways to manage contracts.
Environment, Health and Safety
Transportation Infrastructure projects are typically spread
across hundreds of kilometres, with a multitude of discrete
safety risks that are both location and task specific. RtR
(Reverse the Risk) and PREP are digital applications which
have been developed to identify the risk level. Continuous
monitoring of the risk level using digital applications
and implementation of effective control measures helps
mitigate risk.
Well-planned implementation of traffic diversions as per
IRC SP55 to prevent work zone incidents is undertaken. To
monitor live road activities and prevent traffic accidents, the
business has introduced the ‘verify and Ensure Controlling
Traffic’ (vECT) initiative.
Across all the projects, digitally enabled training modules
– such as virtual reality safety modules and augmented
reality EHS Golden Rule modules – have been developed to
increase the EHS awareness in the workforce. A ‘Zero Fatal
Award’ has been introduced for projects having zero fatality
for the entire duration of the project cycle.
A structured Environment Management System (EMS)
has been implemented. Every project has a specific
200
Ghoshpukur-Salsalabari Road, West Bengal
Overhead Electrification for Delhi Metro Phase 3
Environment Plan which conforms to ISO 14001 2015,
individual contractual needs and the business’ Integrated
Management System (IMS) manual. Micro-level preparation
takes place at each project to define a set of processes,
followed by Impact Aspect Assessment. The defined control
measures are implemented during job execution, and that
facilitates the reduction of the negative environmental
impact and the mitigation of all potential environmental
aspects. Detailed Environment Impact Assessments (EIA)
are conducted in the pre-execution construction planning
stage. various control measures are identified and
implemented. Along with dedicated methodology / SOP
and engineering control, many new initiatives are taken.
During FY 2019-20, the business won 19 international
awards (five Gold Awards, two Silver Awards from the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, a Sword
of Honour and a BSC OHS Audit Five Star Rating from
the British Safety Council, one distinction, 4 merit and 5
pass certificate from British Safety Council). Other than
international, the business has received seven prestigious
safety awards by the National Safety Council, a prestigious
award by the Institution of Engineers India and two awards
by India HSE Summit.
Human Resources
The focus of the business has been on developing a culture
of recognition, innovation and process improvement.
The business conceptualized the DELTA Awards - Digital
Breakthrough, Energy Optimization, Large scale reuse of
Scrap/ Waste, Time reduction (Reduction in Cycle Time),
Advances (Innovation). To strengthen its safety culture
using positive motivation, the LIFE (Loss & Injury Free
Environment) Award was conceptualized.
Risks and Concerns
Land acquisition is a critical factor. very often, there
are delays in handing over encumbrance-free land and
Right of Way, impacting progress of work and idling of
resources. Commercial terms in the business are getting
tougher, resulting in working capital pressures. The sector
is also exposed to delays in various approvals, leading to
a domino effect. Extreme environmental events (such as
unprecedented rainfall), National Green Tribunal bans and
construction bans due to pollution pose an adverse risk to
the business.
Outlook
a) RREC business
Over the next 5 years, the Government has planned to
expand the National Highway network by ~60,000 km,
with about 20,000 km in major economic corridors,
strategic areas and major tourist destinations.
The Department of Civil Aviation envisages 100 new
airports will be built in the country over the next 10 to
201

15 years. It is also working on the cargo policy, which
will provide a boost to the nation’s logistics capacity.
The Government has envisaged an investment of
more than R 1.43 lakh crore for airports under the
National Infrastructure plan over a period of 5 years.
The Government’s focus on developing a strong express
highway network, along with changes in contractual terms,
is expected.
b) Railway business
The Indian Railways is planning its highest outlay of R 1.61
lakh crore for FY 2020-21, an increase of over ~3% on last
year’s outlay of R 1.58 lakh crore.
The conventional projects of the Indian Railways continue
to get a big thrust, backed by strong institutional funding
like LIC, IRFC, etc. The Indian Railways is planning to tackle
Mainline Capacity constraints through a New Line of
~5,000 km, Capacity Augmentation (Doubling & Tripling)
of ~12,000 km and Gauge Conversion of ~2,500 km in
the next five years. About 10,000 km of electrification is
also expected to be awarded under the banner of ‘Mission
Electrification’ over the next four years.
Tendering for three New Dedicated Freight Corridors is to
be initiated in the next 2-3 years.
India is well on its way to creating a world-class MRT
system as an integral part of community infrastructure
development across all metros and major cities, including
Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities in the country. System works in
MRTS provide good business opportunities; nevertheless
such opportunities are increasingly becoming multiple
smaller packages, especially in Tier 2 cities, and hence may
not be attractive enough for the business to participate in.
The Indian Railways has floated tenders for a Detailed
Project Report (DPR) on each new Dedicated Freight
Corridor. The Government has not yet secured funding for
these projects. Certain packages are being contemplated
on the PPP mode. Packages worth ~ R 68,000 crore are
expected to be finalized in the next five years.
On the international front, the focus is on the neighbouring
geographies and in geographies where the business already
exists. The funding needs to be through secured sources,
such as the Indian Government or from any bi-lateral /
multilateral agencies like JICA.
There is a major thrust on electrification of the entire
railway network by 2024. New projects including port
connectivity dedicated rail links, etc., are planned to be
implemented through SPvs owned by State-Centre Jvs.
c) International
Since all the major infra projects related to EXPO 2020 in
Dubai and FIFA 2022 in Qatar are already awarded and are
202

at an advanced stage and oil prices have dropped, no more
major prospects are visible in the near horizon in the Middle
East. Africa posted very few opportunities during 2019-20
and stiff competition persisted from Chinese contractors.
The key hubs for investment in 2020 are expected to be
Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Cote D’Ivoire, Namibia, Botswana,
Rwanda, Ethiopia and Kenya.
In general, with the disruptions due to the COvID-19
lockdown, funding for new projects is likely to get affected.
The lockdown may trigger shortage of raw material and
workmen, disruption in the supply chain, a significant
increase in costs related to operating at site, coupled
with reduced productivity due to controlled working
environment, need for hygiene infrastructure and various
safety measures requirements. There may be a decline in
project awarding by various other authorities owing to
rising debts, limited capital and reduced private investment.

Infrastructure is a major sector that propels the overall
development of the Indian economy. The Government
maintains India’s upward growth trajectory and continues
to target gradual and sustained growth. Infrastructure was
one of the country’s budget priorities this year.
With major metropolitan areas on the metro map,
both the Central and the State Governments have
now turned their attention towards Tier-II cities such as
Kanpur, Agra, Surat, Patna, Meerut, Ahmedabad, Nagpur,
etc. due to their increasing population density. The
business has been awarded two packages of the 82-km
Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System
(RRTS) line in Uttar Pradesh.

The Ministry of Defence has identified an urgent need to
upgrade the country’s defence infrastructure, and major
projects are currently in the planning stage.
policy changes to promote the Hydropower sector based
recommendations of the Standing Committee on Energy
(2019).
Bridge construction in India is witnessing significant interest
from international funding agencies like JICA, the World
Bank, ADB, etc.
India’s ports and trade-related infrastructure accelerate
growth in the manufacturing industry and assist the
‘Make in India’ initiative. India has 12 major ports and
approximately 200 non-major ports administered by
Central and State Governments respectively. With a view
to promoting the expansion of port infrastructure and
facilitating trade and commerce, the Ministry of Shipping’s
proposal to replace the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 by
the Major Port Authorities Bill, 2020, was approved. The
Major Port Authorities Bill, 2020 will empower the major
ports to perform with greater efficiency on account of full
autonomy in decision-making and by modernizing the
institutional framework of the major ports. The business
has secured the Dabhol Breakwater Project (offshore
structures) located at Ratnagiri.
FY 2019-20 saw a steady increase in projects tendered
out by the Government in the Hydel, Tunnel and Irrigation
segments, as the Government introduced a few structural
India’s total nuclear power generation capacity is 6,780
MWe, which comprises 2 percent of the country’s overall
power generation. The Energy policy of the country calls
for 25 percent of electricity to be generated from nuclear
power by 2050. The business is expecting the Government
to move forward with a proposal for 10 pressurized heavy-
water reactor (PHWR) fleet. Major tenders in the Nuclear
industry were delayed and were pushed to FY 2020-21
due to lack of clarity about The Civil Liability for Nuclear
Damage Act, 2010 amongst civil contractors.
However, the momentum of project awards suffered due
to delays in bid evaluations, board approvals, etc., towards
the end of the FY, and was further aggravated due to
the impact of COvID-19 in March 2020. These delays
have affected the much-anticipated order inflow for the
business.

Outlook
A National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) has been prepared
for capital investment worth R 100+ lakh crore in
infrastructure through FY25, pledging about R 65 lakh crore
for ports, urban development, irrigation, railways and roads
and power.
Out of the total NIP, R 34 lakh crore (30%) worth of
projects are at the conceptualization stage, and R 22 lakh
crore (20%) worth of projects are under development.
Several big-ticket and first-of-its-kind projects are proposed
by the Government – such as High-speed Rail, Dedicated
Freight Corridors, Urban Transport / MRTS projects – which
are expected to provide an impetus to the business in the
coming years. Strategic investments in the North East and
the J&K region in Hydel projects are expected to enter the
implementation phase in the next 2-3 years.
The Government has also identified an urgent need to
upgrade the country’s defence infrastructure. Plans for the
upgrade of Naval and Air force bases as well as the creation
of underground infrastructure for strategic assets by the
Government are in progress.
However, the COvID-19 situation may lead to a shift in
priorities and a slowdown in decision-making by customers
for the award of projects. Elevated investments in
infrastructure will be the key to ensuring that India recovers
from the COvID-19 crisis at the earliest. The Government
has already identified infrastructure as one of the 5 pillars
to make India a self-reliant economy, and various stimulus

centres in the world. The clientele of this testing
facility includes utilities from 30 different countries.
The Optic Fibre Cabling (OFC) segment provides
turnkey solutions for deploying a gigabit-scale
optical fibre backbone for both government
agencies and private telecommunication companies
by establishing a state-of-the-art network
infrastructure, typically involving a vast geographic
spread. The business also provides operation &
maintenance support to ensure the health of
the Optic Fibre Cable by maintaining Mean Time
Between Failure (MTBF) and Mean Time To Repair
(MTTR) figures as per the agreed Service Level
Agreements (SLAs).
The Renewables business provides single-point
EPC turnkey solutions for solar Photo voltaic (Pv)
related projects, including energy storage solutions
and microgrids. Its experience ranges from flat to
highly undulating as well as to landfill topologies,
with specialized technologies, including designing
and executing contour-following solar Pv power
plants. The solar business has in-house capabilities
to produce different module-mounting structure
types – such as Fixed Tilt, Seasonal Tilt and HSAT –
offering the customer a range of solutions. As grid

Business Environment
On the power distribution front in India, the achievement
of electrical connectivity to all villages and the near closure
of centrally sponsored schemes such as Saubhagya and
R-APDRP redirected the focus to strengthening of urban
distribution networks and intensification of electrification
in select States. As the State DISCOMS depended mainly
on multilateral funding, finalization delays were witnessed.
However, the business was able to maintain its market
share and garner significant orders from Karnataka, Tamil
Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.
In the transmission system space, investments were driven
by the packages finalized based on tariff-based competitive
bidding and through the State utilities that could secure
multilateral funding. With the continuing general lack
of investment in the conventional power generation and
industry segments, centrally-driven transmission schemes
were not aplenty. States such as West Bengal and Tamil
Nadu finalized packages for strengthening their intra-state
transmission line networks and associated substations.
The neighbouring countries of Nepal and Bangladesh too
offered potential across the T&D spectrum, viz. substations,
transmission lines and distribution.
Despite the fact that the solar industry faced a lower
capacity addition in FY 2019-20 as compared to the
previous year, in the face of political changes in some
States and the dependence on China for modules, the
solar business portfolio surpassed a cumulative capacity of
2.3 GW. Measures such as the removal of the ceiling on
tariff, acceptance of corporate guarantees in lieu of bank
guarantees, etc., boosted the confidence of the developers.
Central PSU tenders with a domestic content requirement
gave a fillip to prospects.
In the Middle East, though the macro-economic scenario
was mixed in FY 2019-20, the business garnered a major
portion of the opportunities that arose. The continued
trend of non-oil based economic diversification has opened
up infrastructure project development in these countries.
In Africa, certain countries in need of facilitation in terms
of funding and expertise to build transmission lines and
substations at EHv levels resorted to the MOU route with
reliable partners.

cables. New 11 kv feeders are created for load bifurcation.
Such projects improve the overall reliability of the power
distribution network and, in particular, help in avoiding
unscheduled power cuts during rains and gusty winds.
The transmission lines and substations related to the
second phase of Green Energy Corridors for evacuation of
renewable energy are expected to get finalized. These are
under various stages of bidding through the Tariff-based
Competitive Bidding mode. In addition, intra-state system
strengthening-related opportunities are expected to come
up in select States. Also, certain mass transit projects which
involve receiving substations and power supply networks
are envisaged in key cities.
Grid integration of intermittent renewable energy and
the emerging prospects of distributed generation require
investments in power quality devices such as STATCOM,
thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) and SvC to ensure voltage
stability, reactive power compensation and reduction of
harmonics.
System Strengthening and Generation Linked Schemes,
especially those funded by Indian Lines of Credit and
multilateral aids, offer potential in Bangladesh and Nepal.
Despite the slow pace of solar EPC tenders from private
developers being incommensurate with ambitious targets,
there are ample opportunities, especially from PSUs.
Preference for Hybrid renewable projects and floating solar
projects are also on the rise. There is a perceivable shift
towards solar-cum-storage projects. The expanding support
to the International Solar Alliance is a positive factor in
attracting investments into the renewable energy sector in
India.
The Indian market for Optical Fibre Cable has been
projected to grow at a CAGR of 17 percent through 2023.
Growth in the market is majorly expected to be backed by
the rising investments in OFC network infrastructure by the
Indian Government to increase internet penetration across
the country, in line with the Government’s initiatives such
as Smart Cities vision and Digital India. Also, the success
of 5G technology will ultimately depend on the strength of
Optical Fibre Cable connectivity.
In the Middle East, the business is cautiously optimistic
in its outlook as oil prices are hovering in the lower
ranges; commodity prices are volatile, and the geopolitical
stalemates continue. The investment in infrastructure
will depend on the fiscal surplus and financial buffers
available with the countries. However, the diversification
of the economy to non-oil sectors will continue to provide
opportunities in terms of upgradation to higher voltage
levels, integration of renewable energy sources to the
existing power grid and interconnections of transmission
networks.

Risks and Concerns
Operational risks include delays in land acquisition, ROW/
ROU issues and volatile steel prices. With the majority of
the business’ clients being state government authorities,
there isn’t much risk related to projects getting shelved
or concerns pertaining to creditworthiness. However, the
year evidenced the cashflow rationalisation in the case of
change in state governments.
The assessment of risks associated with the projects is
carried out frequently to track and review the project cost,
cash flows, margins as well as physical progress, and thus
determine the overall health of the portfolio. Also, state-
wise exposure is dynamically monitored to track any early
signals of cashflow constraints.
The business proactively ensures that it has a healthy
mixture of projects funded by various credit-worthy
clients and bodies like the Central Government, State
Governments, Municipal Corporations, Urban Local Bodies,
222
Command & Control Centre, Prayagraj
Multilateral Funding Agencies, etc. Wherever feasible,
the payment terms with supplier and vendor partners are
aligned to customer terms to avoid cash gaps.
Foreign currency exposure in the case of international
projects, is minimised by ensuring a natural hedge at the
bid stage. Further, hedging policies are also in place for
exposures, if any.
Outlook
The business is anticipating an increase of multilateral
funded projects in the next year from the domestic market.
The Jal Jeevan Mission is envisioned to provide piped
water supply to every rural household under the ‘Har
Ghar Jal Yojana’ scheme by 2024, which will bring greater
coherence to policy objectives and the decision-making
process.
However, the business foresees challenges in terms of
payment slowdown, mobilization of the workforce and loss
of the productive months of the year due to the ongoing
pandemic.
A revision of the National Water Policy 2012 with key
changes in the water governance structure and regulatory
framework is anticipated in FY 2020-21, with more
emphasis on water management and river interlinking. This
is expected to give impetus to the business.
The Union budget proposed an allocation of R 11,500 crore
during the year 2020-21 towards the Jal Jeevan Mission.
The Jal Shakti Ministry has been formed by merging the
Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (MDWS) and
the Ministry of Water Resources and Ganga Rejuvenation
(MoWR).

the anvil, the refurbishment and de-bottlenecking of newly
acquired assets to synergise with their existing products will
be something very much on the cards.
The business faces reduced competition in EPC contracts
and technology-oriented projects due to the scarcity of
players matching qualification requirements.
In the wake of the COvID-19 pandemic, the global demand
has plummeted and business cycles have been disrupted,
resulting in a major production cut by the industry. The
industry is expected to take time to attain full capacity
again.
Major Achievements

especially the private sector, towards fresh capital
expenditure.
COvID-19 will impact business operations, with
restrictions on the mobilization of the workforce to MENA
and disruptions in the supply chain, which may have
adverse effects on the projects under execution. However,
strategies to overcome these difficulties are being put in
place to minimize impact, and customers are taken into
confidence.
Outlook
While sentiments looked positive for FY 2020-21, the
COvID-19 pandemic has put the industry across the globe
on the back foot. Global investments may be impacted in
developing nations.
While the base and light metal prices continued to be
subdued, the demand for these metals in the medium-to-
long term looks robust enough to meet the growing needs
of domestic consumption.
While oil prices are recovering after hitting new lows
due to weak demand, impact on earnings of the GCC
countries may slow down the capex plans of governments.
Even though there is a slump in prices of base metals
due to weak demand, GCC nations (e.g. KSA) with their
own mines are expected to move ahead with capex
plans to compensate for the loss of revenues from the oil
sector.
With expected growth pick-up in the coal and cement
sectors, core products like Crushing Plants, Surface Miners
and Material Handling equipment are expected to grow at
a good pace, especially in the second half of FY 2020-21.

Business Environment
In the wake of the Government’s increasing emphasis on
renewable energy, the thermal power sector is growing
at a slow pace. However, compared to the previous year,
this year witnessed improved ordering in coal-based power
projects with the advent of major hydel players like SJvN
Limited and THDC India Limited in the coal sector.
Major Achievements
Some of the major achievements by the business during the
year include:
• Achieved Commercial Operation of India’s First Ultra
Supercritical power project for Central Utility in Madhya
Pradesh. Also achieved completion of Performance
Guarantee Test of 1st unit and completion of Trial
Operation of 2nd unit of this project

towards safety is reaffirmed by various means, including
monthly theme-based safety campaigns, audits and
inspections.
Risks and Concerns
With the increased emphasis on renewable energy, the
business may face some headwinds on the opportunities
available. However, the business anticipates that coal will
continue to be a dominant source of power generation in
India and that may continue to offer market opportunities.
Excess manufacturing capacity, however, will continue
to drive the prices downwards and would reflect in the
financials of EPC players. The onslaught of the pandemic
has set in some uncertainty on project execution timelines,
for which the business has initiated the required steps
considering force majeure conditions.
234

Outlook
The projection of 292 GW thermal power capacity by FY25
in the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) report published
by the Department of Economic Affairs (Ministry of Finance)
and retirals of old, inefficient and polluting power plants
indicate that thermal power is still going to be the mainstay
in the country’s power generation mix. Considering the
huge number of old and inefficient power plants which
are nearing retirement, the business is confident of growth
in capacity addition in the thermal power sector to match
projected rise in demand for power. 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.
It is estimated that the total installed capacity of power
plants in which FGDs are to be installed is around 167 GW,
involving 440 FGD units. Of this, 65 GW of orders have
already been placed, while additional 100 GW of orders are
expected to gain momentum in time to come.
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 and has tied up with world-
class OEMs.
Gas-based plants are expected to be slowly revived in India.
Since the revival of the domestic gas sector is going to take
some time, the business continues to focus on markets
outside India for gas-based power plants. The target
countries are Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and GCC
countries. The business has taken steps to strengthen its
presence in the Middle East to capitalise on the available
opportunities in this sector.
The L&T-MHPS Boiler Jv and L&T-MHPS Turbine Generator
Jv are looking forward to leveraging upcoming spares
and service opportunities in the domestic market and
will continue to explore business opportunities in the
international market for export orders.

Cryostat Base Section for ITER, France
Business Environment
The business faced fierce competition from European,
Korean and domestic fabricators, while Korean, Chinese
and European companies continued to get preference due
to ECA (Export Credit Agency) financing requirements.
Excess global capacities and limited demand put pressure
on pricing and deliveries.
Amidst stiff competition, the business continued to bag
significant orders from global and domestic clients for
hydrocracker reactors, ethylene oxide reactors, coke drums,
HP heat exchanger and heavy columns, mainly for projects
in Middle East, South East Asia, North America and Mexico.
In the domestic market, the business bagged orders for
high pressure & exotic material heat exchangers for HPCL’s
RUF Project and an ethylene oxide reactor for IOCL’s Paradip
Project.
The domestic Nuclear sector continued to remain sluggish
due to delay in fleet procurement orders.
Major Achievements
In the domestic market, the business has secured the order
for the first Coal Gasifier using Air Product Technology
solutions for the Talcher Gasification Project. During the
year, the country’s heaviest hydrocracker reactor weighing
1858 MT was dispatched to HPCL’s vizag Refinery.

emphasize upon Transparency, Trust, Action-orientation
and Teamwork.
Environment, Health and Safety
The business conducted awareness sessions through the
celebration of National Safety Day, Road Safety Week and
World Environment Day at the workplace as well as in
Surat City. During the year, 48 batches of safety training
programmes were conducted at the Safety Innovation
School, Hazira for neighbouring industries. As a part
of the safe workplace initiative, oxygen sensors were
installed at confined locations and various initiatives were
undertaken for treatment of emissions, effluents, industrial
gases/wastes. The business has adopted ISO 45001:2018
standard from the earlier OHSAS 18001. The business won
the ‘Platinum category Energy & Environment Global Safety
Award 2020’ at the 10th World Petro Coal Congress 2020.
Human Resources
The business continued to improve its Performance
Management System from SMART (Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Relevant and Time-based) goal-setting to
meaningful performance dialogue and subsequent fair
performance evaluation. Special programmes were
designed with help from internal and external faculty
for staff and workmen. These programmes focus on
driving the culture of Safety, Quality and Productivity and
Employee Engagement was a thrust area for FY20 with
the introduction of the ‘Josh Brigade’ – teams of Employee
Engagement Champions who drive initiatives at the
department level. The Mentorship initiative was extended
to promising young managers. Critical role-holders were
identified, and succession planning is in progress for a
sustainable leadership pipeline.
Risks and Concerns
The business faces the risk of reduced investments in the
refinery sector due to falling crude prices. To mitigate the
same, it has expanded its MRU offering, which continues
to grow due to focus on upgrades, modernization and
revamps of existing plants.
Shrinking markets and increasing competition, on both
the International and domestic fronts, continues to be
a challenge. To sharpen the competitive advantage of
engineering strength, the business has identified the role
of CTO (Chief Technology Officer) as being exclusively
responsible to build and develop engineering and
technological capabilities and knowledge management
within the Company.
Capabilities have been developed for niche equipment
for specialty chemicals and petrochemicals like Purified
238
Forging of Nuclear Component at L&T Special Steels and Heavy Forgings
Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Acrylic acid. The business is also
expanding into new geographies like North Africa, Egypt,
Mexico and MRU offerings for the Middle East and Asia
Pacific region. To mitigate the risk of doing business in new
geographies, the business avails of export credit insurance
to secure credit risk.
The business faces foreign competition in domestic
projects. To have a level playing field, it is proactively
suggesting policy changes to the ministries through
industry associates. Anomalies in implementation of Make-
in-India and GST by Public Sector Units (PSUs) procurement
are being addressed.
On the supply chain front, competitive sourcing remains a
focus area. With increasing price pressure, the business has
identified and developed new vendors in China, Eastern
Europe and India. The direct impact of COvID-19 on orders
under execution is covered under the force majeure clause
of the contract on account of expected delay.
Outlook
The global pandemic of COvID-19, combined with global
recession and a tough business environment, may lead
to reduced demand for heavy engineering equipment in
the short term. However, with a global recovery expected
towards the end of FY 2020-21, we expect the crude
prices to improve, which may lead to revival of the capital
expenditure cycle.
Nuclear customers are increasingly adopting strategies
like reverse auction and qualifying new suppliers. This is
resulting in a huge supply-demand gap with less demand
and excess global capacity, and thus causing increased
pressure on price and margin.
For the ongoing domestic bids, we expect slow progress in
project finalization on account of the COvID-19 pandemic.
In the domestic market, we expect new projects in the
sectors of Coal to Chemicals, Petrochemical and the
Specialty Chemicals industry, and increased demand for
MRU services. Nuclear fleet procurement opportunities (700
MWe PHWR projects) are expected to be tendered in FY
2021.
For the LTSSHF business, the domestic sectors in the
fields of nuclear and defence are expected to grow in the
coming years. The Government has cleared the proposal
of investment in 10 domestic nuclear power plant
(700 MWe each) through bulk ordering. This has opened
up opportunities for the Jv with the placement of orders
for supply of Steam Generator forgings for 6 units, End
Shield Plates for 4 units and forgings for Pressurizer and
Bleed Cooler for 4 units.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DEFENCE BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
DEFENCE
BUSINESS
Overview:
L&T has been active in the Defence and strategic
sector since the mid-80s, well ahead of the opening
up of the sector for private industry participation,
by associating with the Defence Research &
Development Organisation (DRDO) and Naval
indigenisation programmes. Having built a portfolio
of technologies, products, systems, platforms and
solutions, today L&T Defence provides design-to-
delivery solutions across chosen defence segments
with a focus on indigenous design, development
and production of Naval (Submarines and Warships)
and Land Platforms (Armoured Systems, Howitzers),
Weapon Systems, Engineering Systems, Missile &

Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) model for
a Strategic Programme. These Work Centres are
complemented by R&D Centres at Powai (Mumbai)
and Bengaluru, and Design and Engineering Centres
for Warship, Submarine and Weapon & Engineering
Equipment at Powai and Chennai.
The Defence Business is structured into two business
groups:
1. Defence & Aerospace
2. Defence Shipbuilding
Offshore Patrol Vessel for Indian Coast Guard
L&T has provided systems for most of India’s space missions - including those to the
moon and Mars
1. Defence & Aerospace
Over the years, the Defence and Aerospace (D&A)
business has built a bouquet of a wide range of
indigenous products, systems, solutions, platforms
and technologies through in-house efforts as well as
by teaming up with the DRDO, and participation in
the Indian Navy’s indigenisation programme for the
development of a range of Engineering Systems and
Weapon Systems and the realisation of Systems within
the country. To date, the D&A strategic business group
has indigenously developed more than 250 defence
products, and more than 50 of them have been
industrialised and delivered in serial production mode.
The business model uniquely differentiates with focus
on in-house technology and product development,
innovation at the core of offerings, mature and equated
partnerships with global majors, all of which enable it to
maintain market leadership position in an environment
where the Government is aggressively pursuing the
indigenisation agenda for the long run, and where most
indigenous players are dependent on the Transfer of
Technology (ToT) model to pursue defence production.
The D&A SBG 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 business offers end-to-end
solutions for design, construction and through-life
support of defence ships. L&T operates two defence
shipyards – one at Hazira Manufacturing Complex,
and another greenfield mega defence shipyard at
Kattupalli, near Chennai. Located across a sprawling
900-acre complex, the Kattupalli Shipyard is India’s
largest yard. The design and construction of the yard
ensures adaptation of global best practices like modular
construction, construction under covered shops, use
of a shiplift with dry and wet berths, etc., to enable
simultaneous construction of different classes of vessels
until near-completion on land and then launching them
through the shiplift. A large number of Industry 4.0
practices have been instituted, enhancing the efficiency
of construction.
A dedicated Warship Design Centre at Chennai
is equipped with the latest integrated 3D design,
analysis and Product Lifecycle Management tools, and
interfaced with project management and ERP systems,
in line with global best practices.
The Kattupalli Shipyard has been largely engaged in
new build and refits / repairs of defence ships of the
Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard. Since 2010, the
Shipbuilding business of L&T has designed, constructed
and delivered 57 Defence vessels, which include a
Floating Dock (Navy), Interceptor Boats and Offshore
Patrol vessels (for the Coast Guard) in record time. The
unique capability of the business to achieve on-time
or ahead of contractual delivery performance in all the
241

Indigenous ASW Rocket Launcher
contracts for Defence vessels is a benchmark in itself
in the Indian Shipbuilding Industry. The shipyard has a
track record of delivering first-of-class vessels on / ahead
of schedule with design and construction maturity and
in-built quality.
L&T purchased the 3% stake held by the Tamil Nadu
Industrial Development Corporation Ltd (TIDCO) in L&T
Shipbuilding Ltd (LTSB) in April 2019, making it a wholly
owned subsidiary. In July 2019, the L&T Board approved
the Scheme of Amalgamation of LTSB with L&T wef
1st April, 2019 as record date. The NCLT permissions
have since been obtained and LTSB has now been
merged with parent Larsen & Toubro Limited.
Business Environment
The macro picture has been a mixed bag over the recent
years. On the one hand, the Government of India (GoI)
is taking substantive steps to promote defence exports,
boost the acquisition pipeline by preferential categorization
in favour of indigenous procurement of Defence systems
and accelerating the process of AoNs and RFPs, while,
on the other hand, budget constraints have seen orders
slip by. There has been a gradual increase in the Defence
Modernisation budget. However, the inclusion of the GST
(since July 2017) and Customs Duties (since April 2016) as
additional outflows from funds allocated to the Ministry of
Defence (MoD) had, in effect, cut the capital allocations to
Defence in real terms. The consequent decrease in funds
available for Defence Modernisation is visible from the drop
in the volume of orders placed on Indian companies in
preference to imports to address urgent gaps in capability.
A few steps have been taken during the FY 2019-20
to defray the Customs duties and IGST on the MoD’s
imports (Government-to-Government deals) and specific
programmes ordered on system integrators (DPSUs),
necessitating import inputs not produced in India and, in
the process, freeing some capital for indigenous acquisition
from within the budget allocation.
As per the Rajya Sabha Q&A data, the MoD has cleared
AoNs totalling more than R 409,000 crore worth of
programmes for Indian industries to participate in over the
last five years.
The intent of the Government to achieve a higher degree of
indigenisation and self-reliance is visible in the latest policy
measures, such as Strategic Partnerships. The Defence
procurement policy and procedures continue to evolve
with earnest and positive impetus towards ‘Make in India’
and industry friendliness, as can be seen from the draft
DPP-2020. While the GoI has taken steps to ensure ease
of doing business, concern regarding a level playing field
for the private sector continues in the form of retention
of provisions to nominate large Defence programmes to
state-owned companies.

and presence across the value chain
• The Kattupalli Shipyard attained the globally unique
distinction of complete sea acceptance trials of OPv5 on
its maiden sea sortie and cut the build time to below 20
months from the keel-laying
• Delivered 2 Offshore Patrol vessels and 5 Interceptor
Boats to the Indian Coast Guard, all ahead of contracted
schedule
• L&T Shipbuilding achieved a breakthrough by initiating
execution of a large export order for 12 High Speed
Guard Boats from South East Asia and achieved a
significant milestone in public-private-partnership by
securing workshare from a DPSU Yard for construction of
three Defence vessels
Significant Initiatives
In addition to the focus on Defence Manufacturing to
serve the Indian Armed Forces, Direct Exports of our
matured weapon systems offerings, either solo or by
partnering with DPSU / OFB for weapons, and entering
into PPP relationships for and workshare with DPSUs are
being pursued as two additional engines for growth.
L&T has been working closely with DPSUs over the years
and this relationship is being leveraged to target specific
programmes and explore new opportunities in both
domestic and international markets.

the Defence business since its inception and the business
will continue investing in R&D to develop new-age
technologies and products such as Unmanned Systems
(all four segments), Robotics, Additive Manufacturing and
Artificial Intelligence.
The L&T-MBDA Jv achieved an important landmark, with
readiness to operationalize the new inert integration facility
at Coimbatore.
L&T has been building a strong position in digital design
since the mid-90s, and has attained proficiency in elements
of Industry 4.0 in its multiple R&D, Design & Engineering
Centres and Production work centres that extend to the
building of platforms such as warships and submarines.
The in-house Warship Design Centre employs highly skilled
designers to build platforms in 3D / virtual Domains and
extensively use vR/AR tools for walk-through analysis
for highly engineered designs which suit the modern
production facilities on the shop-floor.
L&T’s lead in submarine construction and outfitting and
system integration with indigenously developed home-
grown technologies draws from its early initiative in the
digital domain nearly two decades ago. L&T has been
gradually adopting an Industry 4.0 environment using
model digital data, tracking and scanning tools and data
analytics for planning, quality control and sequencing.
The Armoured Systems Complex (factory) built recently
at L&T’s Hazira Complex is a modern ‘Industry 4.0-ready’
set-up. It has created a sizeable opportunity for shop-floor
engineers and technicians to acquire skill in automation,
robotization and multi-disciplinary system integration in
order to attain >90% automated welding of armoured
vehicle hulls and turrets using a series of robots, as well
as to build complex components under the same roof
using 3D printing wire-deposition processes for volume
deposition.
Environment, Health and Safety
The safety track record across work centres, customer
locations, and Business Partners’ premises has been
exemplary. L&T Shipbuilding’s Kattupalli Yard has won
the prestigious ‘Sword of Honour’ from the British Safety
Council during FY20, making it the first shipyard in
India and the fourth globally to achieve such a feat. The
business has also implemented digital workmen safety
systems such as RFID-based tracking especially in confined
spaces, like submarines and warships, as well as tagging
of assets for online tracking. The business continues to
focus on the triple bottom line and green initiatives. It has
achieved significant y-o-y reduction in water and energy
consumption, in line with L&T’s sustainability focus.
244
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.
L&T Defence has implemented a Technology Leadership
Programme to maintain a 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 upon employee engagement
initiatives to retain and grow talent and continue to be an
employer of choice.
Risks and Concerns
While the cyclical nature of the business affects the entire
Defence sector, for L&T, which has developed a bouquet
of products across the segment through in-house efforts,
the risk is primarily that of delays and deferment of orders,
given the vagaries of Capital budget allocation. It can be
seen from parliamentary standing committee reports that
the defence modernisation budget allocation was not
sufficient even to cover the committed liabilities over the
last two years, leading to acquisition programmes getting
deferred, cancelled or even reduced in quantities after
issuance of RFPs. The lack of funds for new acquisitions
has resulted in very low order placement of about R 77,000
crore on Indian industries over the past three years, with
large portions being nominated to DPSUs. The rest of the
orders are placed on foreign suppliers to address urgent
capability gaps.
Outlook
The impact of social spending as a consequence of the
COvID-19 pandemic may further affect the already-
inadequate Capex budget available for Armed Forces
Modernisation and Indian Space Programmes. Also, the
decision-making window in FY 2020-21 is expected to
shrink due to the pandemic, leading to the spill-over of a
few significant contracts from Defence as well as Space
sectors into the next FY. The current slowdown in the
economy of the country is expected to marginally affect the
release of funds against the Navy’s Capital budget, while
the Revenue budget is likely to be significantly impacted, in
turn impacting ship refits in the short term.
In order to offset the risk of order inflow, the business is
pursuing a portion of business from major orders with
DPSUs and is exploring increased export opportunities in
the short term. To compensate for the effect of productivity
loss due to the pandemic, various measures have been
initiated for cost reduction in project procurement and
revenue expenses, accelerated cash conversion cycle,
targeted digitalisation, and reduced outsourcing to gainfully
use idling manhours.
The outlook for Defence business remains cautious in
the short run but positive in medium- long-term, as
indigenous production picks up in a big way with the
Government making concerted efforts to implement some
of its major policy initiatives, such as Strategic Partnership
and Indigenously Designed and Manufactured category
programmes. By 2027, the Indian Navy intends to operate
175 warships and submarines. Such an 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. Further, L&T’s decades-long partnership
with the DRDO in indigenous design and development
programmes, including Strategic Programmes, augurs well,
with unprecedented opportunities in the pipeline.
In the short run, Shipbuilding sees some significant
opportunities, given the number of shipbuilding RFPs
issued by the MoD during the last FY. Weapons Systems
& Engineering Systems programmes have served to offer
a strong foundation to consolidate and build upon. The
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has initiated
action to involve private sector firms in launch vehicle
integration, which is likely to create sizeable opportunities
in the aerospace segment in the coming years.

Business Environment
The various Government reforms initiated – such as focus
on improving 41 different areas, primarily the Energy,
Infrastructure and Irrigation sectors in India and making
India a USD 5.0 trillion economy by 2024-25 – led the
business to begin FY 2019-20 with a healthy order backlog.
As the General Elections in India were held at the
beginning of the financial year, it was expected that
248
economic performance would remain benign in view of the
model code of conduct and slowing down of the decision-
making process by the Government in the first quarter of
FY 2019-20. The pro-incumbency mandate received by
the Government reassured the sustenance of the ‘reform’
agenda.
NITI Aayog’s focus on the North Eastern region by
proposing to set up industrial estates/parks in such
areas set up a platform for growth for the standard
product’s division of the business during FY 2019-20. The
Government’s continued emphasis on improving rural
infrastructure translated into opportunities for the business.
various announcements made in the Finance Budget
by the Government of India paved the way for creating
new infrastructure, public transport systems and airports.
The support for renewable energy provided significant
opportunities for E&A’s standard switchgear products and
switchboards divisions which are functional in the Lv and
Mv space.
Other notable initiatives like UDAY, Smart Cities, Smart
Grid, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana, Pradhan
Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana and Digital villages
continued to remain highlights in FY 2019-20. The
Metering division of the business found major opportunities
owing to these initiatives and was able to successfully
roll out one of the largest Smart Meter projects in India
based on the linear polarisation resistance technology.
Continued emphasis on smart cities has helped the
Control panels at MRPL
Control & Automation division of the business to provide
technologically superior solutions to the domestic market.
for asset management has been developed to monitor Lv
switchgear and other electrical system equipment
The business also has a significant presence in Malaysia
and South East Asian countries through TAMCO. With the
drop in growth rates in Malaysia, business opportunities for
TAMCO were scaled down.
Supported by market demand, enhancement in public-
private partnership projects and Government reforms, the
business performed on expected lines until January 2020
by achieving profitable growth. However the COvID-19
pandemic began to impact business from February 2020
onwards.

5. Sales Force Dot Com (SFDC): The business recently
implemented SFDC as a single platform for structured
planning, database management and analytics to
improve decision-making for its Electrical Standard
Product (ESP) sales, business development, product
management and service functions.
Environment, Health and Safety
Energy conservation remained a major focus area in FY20
across all manufacturing locations. various initiatives
undertaken have saved total energy of 962580 kWh.
Notable initiatives include use of LED lights, optimum
temperature setting for ACs, installation of solar panels to
reduce conventional energy consumption and the use of
the energy-saving option on CNC machines.
The Bureau veritas Surveillance audit of the
ISO50001 Energy Management. System of the ESP
manufacturing campus at Ahmednagar was successfully
completed.
There have been no accidents reported at the
Mahape, Coimbatore and Mysore facilities in the
last 2 years. The business conducted a Human Safety
Audit at manufacturing locations through M/s TCE
in August 2019. One of the outcomes of this audit
was the conducting of Safety Leadership Training
of line managers and supervisors who are directly
responsible for safety at the workplace. This has
resulted in safety awareness among employees, and
manufacturing facilities have started reporting ‘near miss’
incidents.
250
Human Resources
The business has rolled out several digital initiatives to
manage the indirect workforce, leading to enhanced
productivity and process efficiency. There has been
consistent encouragement to adopt on-line learning
through Anytime Learning (ATL) and ATL Next across the
organization. various leadership development programmes
linked to competency requirements at different career
stages help build a robust internal pipeline of leadership
to take charge of the current and future requirements of
the organization. Despite the overhang of divestment,
the business has been able to successfully recruit the
right talent to meet its manpower requirements. Focus
on employee health and wellness, succession and career
planning and need-based developmental opportunities
have helped retain top talent.
The HR practices of the business are well-aligned to the
business strategy, and the outreach for development
encompasses not just employees but also channel partners
and customers, through a variety of training interventions.
Risks and Concerns
The key concern for the business is keeping pace with
fast-evolving technologies to stay relevant to the market.
For this, investments in Research and Development are
essential.
By aligning its business strategy and product portfolio,
the business strives to make a winning proposition amidst
changing business environments and Government policies.
With the progress in the process of divesting the business
to Schneider Electric, an impact was felt due to customers’
apprehensions about continuity of service quality. Also,
with the pandemic, market sentiments have been affected
overall, and the new norms mandated may impact
operations.
Outlook
With the outbreak of the COvID-19 pandemic, economies
are expected to contract in the near term, leading to
reduced capex by the private sector. The Middle East
economies continue to reel under the oil-price meltdown,
impacting opportunities in that region. With limited
opportunities, the competition is expected to intensify.
However, the Government’s emphasis on ‘vocal for Local’
and the push in the rural economy in view of the large
migration of workforce from cities to rural areas may work
in favour of the business. With the Government’s focus on
the large-scale roll-out of Smart Prepaid Meters in order
to improve the fiscal health of the DISCOMs, the Metering
division stands to gain majorly due to its in-house design
and customization capabilities and its large manufacturing
capacity. Better prospects are visible in Malaysia for large
Mv orders through TAMCO.
The growing trade-tensions between the US and China
and the world’s changing perception towards China may
result in the shifting of manufacturing bases for some of
industries to India, Indonesia, etc. The business is likely to
benefit from this.
The divestment process of the business to Schneider Electric
is on course. The approval of the Competition Commission
of India, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions, has
been received and the business has been classified as a
discontinued operation from June 2019.

253
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS HYDROCARBON BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Three Gas Production Deck Modules (PDMs) for Saudi Aramco, ready for dispatch from LTHE’s Modular Fabrication Facility at Hazira, India
collapse in oil demand by the shuttering of the global
economy due to the coronavirus pandemic. The price of oil
fell 30% due to oversupply in the first week in March, even
before the impact of COvID-19 was factored in.
The domestic market also witnessed deferment of projects
by a few quarters due to overcapacity in the domestic
refining sector. The domestic segment also witnessed stiff
competition from new entrants.
In the Middle East, the other major focus region for LTHE
- the business was impacted by the oil prices coming under
pressure due to over-supply and the price war between
Saudi Arabia and Russia. Saudi Arabia - where LTHE has
a decent market share of the Offshore business, given its
position of being the select contractor under the Long Term
Agreement (LTA) - saw new contractors being pre-qualified.
This impacted LTHE’s share in the contracts being awarded
under LTA. Concerted localization efforts in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia are in progress to position LTHE as a compliant
contractor to achieve IKTvA (In-Kingdom Total value Add).
In other geographies, such as the UAE and Qatar, the
business is addressing the increasing ICv (In-country value)
requirements.
With a focus on ‘Execution Par Excellence’, LTHE achieved
robust financial performance, as compared to its global

design and deployment of the GENIE: Engagement survey
with the subsequent business-specific and managerial-level
interventions undertaken and communicated through
the multiple forums of ‘IGNITE’, such as ‘town halls’,

to LTHE’s commitment in creating a highly engaged
workforce. A culture of appreciation is inculcated by
various reward and recognition interventions. The ‘I-TOO’
recognition framework, initiatives like ICONS, Long Service

non-monetary recognition events, etc. are periodically
undertaken to enhance employee motivation.
Innovation is recognized based on merit. LTHE appreciates
the convergence of divergent thought processes and ideas.
The business stands united in its mantra of ‘Together We
Succeed’ by practising ‘Execution Par Excellence’.
Risks and Concerns
The fortunes of the business are heavily linked to the global
oil prices and green environment pressures. Further, with
nearly 50% of the business originating from international
markets, geo-political situations have a major impact
on new orders and the execution momentum. With
some key competitors rendered with surplus capacity,
cost competition is becoming challenging, and is further
accentuated by the increasing requirement for localisation
in some of the regions where the business has a presence.
The business addresses the risks by continuous evaluation
of its portfolio, examining the emerging scenario, exploring
newer regions and addressing cost-competitiveness on an
on-going basis, while undertaking operational excellence.
Besides, the business may also face risks such as difficult
contract terms set by clients, tight schedules, counterparty
risks, currency and commodity exposures, vendor defaults,
delay in material delivery, QHSE, productivity, etc. These
risks are mitigated through specific actions, such as
operational excellence initiatives, alliances, compliance with
stringent QHSE standards, timely forex and commodity
price hedging, strong contract and claims management
and identification of key personnel and talent at the pre-bid
stage.
The risk management policy and guidelines have facilitated
the creation of a consistent set of standard tools and
templates incorporating global best practices and
procedures. Proactive risk management enables building
the ability to anticipate challenges, as well as mitigate and
identify opportunities which may help achieve strategic
objectives. The business promotes a culture of transparency
in flagging problems as early warning signals for the
Management’s timely attention.
Outlook
The downward oil price spiral started with the warring
between OPEC and Russia and was further fuelled by the
onset of the global pandemic, due to which the oil demand

Lowering of new strategic gas export pipeline (Size: 30” / 40” x 146 km) from North Kuwait to Mina Al-Ahmadi for Kuwait Oil Company
depleted to a record low. To stabilise the plummeting oil
prices, OPEC and Russia have reached an agreement to
cut oil production. Further, the U.S. also cut its 2020 oil
production forecast by more than 1 million barrels a day
due to the plummeting demand and collapsing crude
prices. Oil prices are expected to predominantly remain
under stress during 2020. volatility and uncertainty
in oil prices is expected to delay project awards in the
hydrocarbon segment. Further, most of the Middle Eastern
GCC economies plan to diversify into several other sectors
other than hydrocarbon.
With international oil companies evincing interest in the
market, investments in West and North Africa may fructify
in case crude oil prices show upward movement.
On the domestic front, the Ministry of Petroleum and
Natural Gas is working in collaboration with various
Central Government Ministries, State Governments, and
stakeholders to make efforts to achieve reduction in
import dependency for oil in the long run through use of
alternative fuels like ethanol and biodiesel through the
Ethanol Blending in Petrol (EBP) Programme and Biodiesel
blending in diesel. The Government has formulated a
National Biofuel Policy 2018 to boost the availability
of biofuels in country. It has launched a Sustainable
Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT)
initiative for producing Bio CNG by setting up 5000
Bio-CNG plants in next five years.
The Union Budget has proposed a capital outlay of
R 98,522 crore for oil and gas companies for FY 2020-21,
comprising R 52,019 crore for the Exploration and
Production segment, R 41,654 crore for the Refining &
Market segment R 4,754 crore for the Petrochemical sector.
Major domestic pipeline projects which were deferred in FY
2019-20 are expected to pick up during FY 2020-21.
The Company will expand its bid pipeline and explore new
clients and new markets in the adjacency of its existing
capabilities.
With the onslaught of the pandemic, numerous challenges
are also expected in project execution. The aim of the
business will be to remain cash-positive and adopt the
PIO approach, viz. Protect the business, be Innovative in
approach for solving unanticipated problems and look for
Opportunities in the marketplace that could give strategic
advantages in the medium and long term.

• Hi-Tech, Media and Entertainment
To further augment its digital capabilities, LTI
announced two acquisitions in FY 2019-20. In
July 2019, it acquired Lymbyc, a specialist in AI,
machine learning and advanced analytics. The
Lymbyc acquisition adds to LTI’s Mosaic platform
offering. In October 2019, it acquired Powerup,
a born-in-cloud company, with cloud consulting
capabilities across all three leading cloud platforms

addition to cloud-consulting capabilities, Powerup
also adds 2 AI products to LTI’s powerful suite of
offerings.
Business Environment
The global Information Technology-Business Process
Management (IT-BPM) market, excluding hardware and
Engineering, Research & Development (ER&D), grew
5.6% over the last year and stood at USD 1.5 trillion in
2019. Indian IT-BPM industry revenues including hardware
and ER&D spend stood at USD 191 billion in FY20. The
industry added ~USD 14 billion in incremental revenues
last year, representing year-on-year growth of ~ 7.7%
in USD terms. IT-BPM export revenues for the industry
for FY 2019-20 are expected to reach USD 147 billion, a
growth of 8.1% over the past year.
LTI Headquarters, Powai, Mumbai
The share of digital in industry revenues has jumped from
~20% last year to a range of 26%-28%. Nine digital
technology areas will emerge as the fastest-growing and
highest-impacting, with the combined potential to deliver
one-third of the USD 100 trillion. The nine areas include
three foundational technologies – Big Data and Analytics,
Cloud Computing, and Cybersecurity – and six advanced
technologies – Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, 3D
Printing, Robotics, Blockchain, and Immersive Media.
The strong digital foundation that Indian technology has
built over the last decade underpinned the remarkable
agility and resilience in responding to the COvID-19 crisis;
ensuring business continuity for all global clients while
prioritizing the safety of its professionals.
The vertical specific key trends observed are as follows:
a) Banking and Financial Services: With the Banking
industry being a fast adopter of advanced data analytics
and AI-based strategies, as customer data segmentation
and enhanced decision support become key priorities,
this sector saw an increase in spend on digital
technologies. COvID-19 has the potential to change the
way people bank, forever marking a clear shift towards
digital and cloud. It is expected that most routine
operations would move to the cloud as cloud-native
technologies can enhance customer experience while
reducing costs at the same time.
b) Insurance: Cost optimization and legacy systems’
modernization are the key drivers of growth, and
many insurers are shifting from the product-centric
to a customer-centric business model, so insurance
companies are open to form partnerships with
‘InsurTechs’ which will help them cut costs and improve
business process efficiencies, as well as provide a better
customer experience.
c) Manufacturing: This sector includes Industrial
Manufacturing, Automotive & Aerospace. The
automotive industry has been facing an unprecedented
technology and business model transformation, driven
mainly by Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric
mobility (CASE). These trends will continue to drive
the industry evolution going forward. The industrial
manufacturing sector is witnessing the importance
of the Digital Twin in maintaining operations within
the manufacturing ecosystem, and the emerging and
expanding role of collaborative robots, remote work
and the ‘virtual shift’ in the manufacturing sectors.
d) Energy and Utilities: Cloud migration has helped
companies leverage solutions for automated adaptive
planning and scheduling of production, logistics
and service processes, which in turn will enhance
operational efficiency by reducing human interventions.
e) CPG, Retail and Pharma: Competition from
Direct-to-consumer companies is changing business
261

Mosaic Experience Centre
models for CPG players. Companies are investing in
customer-centric digital technologies, such as virtual
Shelves, Digital Kiosks, Self-Checkout, Digital Reality,
etc. As pharma companies generate a huge amount of
health data, linking them to new technologies to build
digital platforms is the way forward to transform their
businesses. Emerging technologies, such as mHealth,
Robotic Surgeries and 3D Printing, are paving their way
in the Life Sciences industry.
f) Hi-Tech, Media and Entertainment: Direct-to-
Consumer is a strong theme emerging from the
necessity to understand customer preferences
and behaviour. In the Media and Entertainment
sector, content creation and prediction, along with
personalization, are the keys to providing a seamless
user experience. In Hi-Tech, 5G technology is slated to
drive the market for the next several years and open
opportunities in Over-the-top (OTT) and E-commerce.
FY 2019-20 marks the fourth consecutive year of
industry-leading double-digit growth from LTI in
constant currency terms.
Major Achievements
In FY 2019-20, LTI further strengthened its partnership and
alliances ecosystem. LTI received the AWS SAP Competency
partner certification, positioning it on an exclusive list of
AWS global partners. Elevation of LTI to ‘Gold’ partnership
with Pega and ‘Premier’ partnership with MuleSoft
reaffirms the resolve of the business to remain relevant to
clients.
During the year, LTI’s long-term rating has been upgraded
by CRISIL to AAA/Stable from AA+/Positive. The National
Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE) has included LTI in its

Significant Initiatives
The advent of newer and efficient technologies is driving
extraordinary changes across different industry verticals
all over the world. During these tumultuous shifts, there
are early signs of winners who would outgrow their
competitors and establish themselves as Breakaway
Enterprises. The common thread across these companies
is they are fast adopters of technology and are reshaping
their organisation at a pace and agility that has not been
witnessed in the past.
263
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IT & TECHNOLOGY SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
LTI Welcome Center in Powai
At LTI, we believe enterprises need to master four essential
plays to be a breakaway leader:
• Operate to transform – leveraging automation in
everyday operations and solving for the unstated needs
• Data driven Organization – harnessing the power of
analytics
• Experience Transformation for their customers and
employees
• Digitize the Core by leveraging real-world know-how of
the client’s industry domain
LTI’s go-to-market strategy that is believed to help
enterprises to be breakaway leaders continues to be the
same as last year. It is continuously working towards
‘strengthening to solve’ along these four plays by
investing in people and sharpening capabilities. LTI’s
programmatic capability building focuses on hiring and
re-skilling employees in digital technologies, developing
vertical-centric platforms, augmenting key partnerships and
acquiring unique capabilities.
xFH – LTI Design for Thriving in the WFH
Future
For the foreseeable future, WFH is the new global norm.
As with any competitive landscape, some organizations
will find ways to adapt and thrive under a fully distributed
model, while others will, unfortunately, flounder.
264
That’s what the xFH model is all about: helping
organizations make sense of their own WFH model,
understand the layers that comprise it, then drive
meaningful and impactful interventions at each of those
layers – and across all layers – to ensure optimal business
outcomes.
At LTI, the WFH is broken down into five layers, each
with a specific set of interventions, tools, governance and
outcomes – these layers traverse foundational needs to
include both team and individual requirements.
LTI has demonstrated agility and nimbleness to adapt to
the challenges posed by COvID-19. This, combined with its
strategy to help customers become Breakaway Enterprises,
is enabling LTI stand out in the marketplace.
Human Resources
LTI crossed the 30,000-employee mark in FY 2019-20. The
LTI culture is one of inclusivity and transparency. A gender-
inclusive workforce is a natural result of this outlook, which
is deeply woven into its ways of working. As of March 31,
2020, 31% of its workforce comprises women. LTI’s unique
recruitment programme ‘Revive with LTI’ provides return-
to-work opportunities to experienced women professionals,
who are currently on sabbatical, under which they receive
on-the-job training, mentorship from senior leaders and the
opportunity to work on trending technologies in LTI.
In the area of talent management and digital skilling, the
business has launched an AI-based solution that will help
LTI‘s Delivery Center at Pune
LTI’s Delivery Center in Bengaluru, India
contextualize and speed up hiring, skilling – specifically
focused on digital – and deployment. It provides accurate
ways of matching the right talent with the relevant job at
speeds that significantly cut down on sourcing and hiring
times. Besides providing a business-context based skill
map-gap analysis, it also ensures an improved employee as
well as candidate experience.
A key goal for the business in FY 2019-20 has been to
focus on continuous reduction in attrition. Towards this,
LTI launched the ‘iLead’ series to help first-time managers
develop their leadership skills and help in talent retention.
To tap the vast talent pool in colleges, LTI flagged off
the ‘Brand Icon’ initiative – a strategic programme
designed to engage with selected colleges, not just for
branding but from a 360-degree-development perspective
between academia and corporates. Student development
programmes like webinars and workshops were conducted
by the LTI industry experts.
The global sales leadership incubation programme – ‘iRise’
– has won recognition at the ‘2019 Stevie Awards for Great
Employers’. Currently in its 3rd batch, iRise is a 12-month
onboarding programme aimed at building the global sales
leaders of tomorrow. In its recent report “Talent Readiness
for Next-generation IT Services PEAK Matrix™ Assessment
2020: Closing the Demand-Supply Gap”, the Everest
Group has ranked LTI as the leading service provider for
talent readiness for next-generation data services skills. This
ranking is on account of LTI’s focused talent development
efforts across the entire data value chain of data storage
and management, data gathering, and data analytics.
In response to the COvID-19 outbreak, LTI has swiftly
enabled the work-from-home option for almost all of
its employees, ensuring the safety and well-being of its
employees, while maintaining continuity of operations.
A global helpline and email address have been set up to
answer questions about COvID-19. Regular updates and
information to employees through emails, Intranet and
other communication channels have been ensured. An
internal portal has been set up which acts as a one-stop
destination for accurate information and guidelines about
COvID-19.
For India-based employees, LTI SafeRadius - a GDPR-
compliant return-to-work app-based solution was launched
to track and monitor an employee’s health and safety, and
for issuing regional alerts from the HR and Admin teams.
Risks and Concerns
Client relationships are at the core of the business. LTI
enjoys a history of high client retention and continues
to derive a significant proportion of revenue from repeat
business built on the successful execution of prior
engagements. Also, efforts are on to expand the client
base and geographies, as well as increase the value-add of
deliverables.
265
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IT & TECHNOLOGY SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Mindtree West Campus, Bengaluru
The major risks faced by the business include failure to
align the services portfolio with newer and in-demand
technologies, leading to lower operating revenue. A
technology architecture group has been created to ensure
continuous skill alignment with market needs. Evolving
geo- political and economic conditions may affect the
client’s business and LTI’s delivery, which is mitigated by
regular monitoring. Changes in immigration policies of
countries where LTI has significant business may affect its
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 organizational
knowledge and relationships. LTI has launched programmes
for employee engagement and has a framework in place to
reward high-potential employees.
Outlook
The risks emanating from the global pandemic continue
to evolve. With sustained investments in capabilities and
clients concurring with a xFH approach in response to
COvID-19, the business is confident of a robust, resilient
and sustainable business model.

these, a strong risk management architecture has been
built. The entity identifies, assesses, manages and reports
on the principal risks that could affect its ability to
implement strategies and deliver commitments. Its robust
enterprise risk management programme propels a culture
of informed and responsible risk handling to achieve the
desired growth.

The business faces the risk of revenue concentration with
top clients. Changes in immigration policies of countries
like the US, which is tightening its visa norms, where
Mindtree has significant business, may affect its ability to
position consultants at client locations. It could face margin
pressures due to competitive pricing, tactical movements
by competitors to gain market share, or escalating
costs. With a majority of the revenue being foreign
currency denominated, the business carries translation
and transaction foreign exchange risks. A formal Board-
approved hedging strategy is reviewed periodically.
Cyber Risk has emerged as a top risk across industries as
organizations are moving to newer areas of engagement
such as social, mobile computing and cloud computing.
The entity has leveraged leading industry standards to
develop cyber security frameworks. In the knowledge
industry, attracting and retaining people with the right
skills is imperative for long-term success. Employee-friendly
policies, learning plans and career growth options have
ensured that attrition remains at tolerable limits.
Outlook
The COvID-19 outbreak has been creating an
unprecedented level of uncertainty with major economies
virtually coming to a halt. The business is well equipped to
handle the global crisis based on the business continuity
plan that has been successfully implemented to ensure
the health and safety of employees while fully supporting
clients worldwide. Looking ahead in 2020-21, the business
anticipates a drop in demand, curtailment of discretionary
spends and cost-optimization pressure within clients’
business. At the same time, the business also expects
demand from clients for digital and transformational
services as they invest into data, cloud-enabled solutions,
customer-centric and end user experience businesses.
Focus would be on signing multi-year annuity deals,
rationalizing tail-accounts and going deeper into the limited
set of strategic clients. The business will continue co-selling
with long-standing strategic partners.
The business will continue to drive operational efficiencies
for margin-expansion and continue the profitable growth
journey.

FINANCIAL
SERVICES
BUSINESS
Overview:
L&T Finance Holdings (LTFH) is the holding company
for the financial services businesses of the Larsen &
Toubro Group. It is one of India’s most valued and
diversified NBFCs, having a strong presence across
the Lending & Investment management businesses.
LTFH is a financial solutions provider catering to the
diverse needs of its customers across various sectors,
including:
• Rural Finance, comprising Farm Equipment
Finance, Two-Wheeler Finance, Micro Loans and
Consumer Loans
• Housing Finance, comprising Home Loans, Loan
against Property and Real Estate Finance
• Infrastructure Finance
• Mutual Funds
The Wealth management business is being divested
to IIFL wealth, the approval for which was received
in April ’20. With the aim of creating a single,
unified lending entity with a wider and stronger
capital and asset base, the process of amalgamating
three lending entities – L&T Finance Ltd., L&T
Infrastructure Finance Company Ltd. and L&T
Housing Finance Ltd. – has been initiated.
Micro Loans
Business Environment
The Indian economy in FY 2019-20 began on a
downward trajectory, and continued to slow down
further, weighed by structural stresses, such as sluggish
private investment, a significant decline in savings rate
and the highest unemployment rate ever recorded.
A broad-based breakdown in consumption further
accentuated the slowdown.
On the sectoral front, a bountiful monsoon supported
the growth in agriculture and allied activities. The healthy
water reservoirs augured well for rabi crops. Industrial
growth, however, slowed down on the back of sluggish
manufacturing activity. Growth in the services sector too
was moderate due to subdued activity in the trade, hotel,
transport and communication sectors.
India’s fiscal deficit stood at 4.6% of GDP in 2019-20 as
per the official report of the Department of Expenditure,
Government of India. The financial markets remained
jittery in FY20 due to the domestic economic slowdown,
concerns on fiscal slippage and geo-political tensions.
Weaknesses in overall economic activity also put pressure
on the business growth of lenders, including NBFCs.
Government revenues have taken a significant hit due to
the COvID-19 impact and the lockdown. On the other
hand, expenditures have risen due to the various costs

arising from the many virus containment efforts and the
enforcement of the lockdown.
• Enhancing market share in high-quality fixed-income
assets
However, AAA rated, large-sized NBFCs were relatively
better placed with liquidity, comprising liquid assets,
undrawn lines from banks, and, in some cases, funding
lines from group companies.
Overall, FY 2019-20 was a very challenging year, with
funding markets seeing multiple periods of disruption
and risk aversion from Mutual Funds and Banks especially
towards NBFCs. However, in these difficult times, LTFH has
been able to time the markets and has successfully raised
highest annual long-term incremental borrowing (across
various instruments) since FY 2016.
The business is comfortably placed with respect to both
liquidity and interest rate risks, due to its robust Asset
Liability Management (ALM) and strong risk management
framework.
The average assets under Management for the Mutual
Fund business had marginal Y-o-Y increase in FY20, the key
focus areas being:
• Continued focus on retailisation of assets with diversified
mix of distributors and customers
• Increase in market share through new customers
Significant Initiatives
During FY 2019-20, the business continued to focus on
sustainability of performance with steady margins, stable
asset quality, focused growth and building a strong liability
franchise. The specific focus for the year was on the
following areas:
a) Diversification of sources of funds leading
to stronger liability franchise
The business has a well-diversified borrowing mix in the
form of Bank borrowings (including PSL), NCDs (retail and
wholesale), Preference shares and ECBs. It has strengthened
its liability profile with higher proportion of long-term
borrowings through diversified sources of funding during
the year.
b) Business realignment with focus on the
‘Right to Win’
Some of the key business changes undertaken include:
• The business launched a pilot run of consumer loans
in Q3 FY2019-20 and has disbursed the product to
~12,000 active customers with an excellent track record
of repayment with the aid of data analytic tools
280
Infrastructure Finance
• In the Infrastructure Finance segment, the business is
also evaluating diversification into new sectors including
funding to City Gas Distribution (CGD) companies, ports
and airports. In line with the strategy of investing in
products with a ‘Right to Win’, the Structured Finance
Group (SFG) and Debt Capital Markets (DCM) were
classified as defocused business during the year and have
been run down significantly over the last year (50% YoY
reduction)
c) Maintained market share by leveraging on
business strengths
LTFH increased its market share in the Farm and Two-
wheeler sectors, while maintaining business strengths
across the businesses, through investing in footprint
expansion, team quality enhancement, technology
infrastructure and data analytics framework.
Major Achievements
LTFH, through rigorous execution of digital proposition and
domain expertise, has been able to capture a 9.3% market
share in the Two-Wheeler Finance segment in FY 2019-20.
A new scheme, ‘Sabse Khaas Loan’ was introduced to
target the unfinanced sector with no hypothecation and
a lower rate of interest as compared with credit cards.
LTFH focussed on touch-free collections, which accounted
for 32% of the total collection in FY20. LTFH has been
able to maintain its market share of 14% in Farm Loans
and strengthen its position as the #2 player in the Farm
Equipment Finance industry. The rich customer base in
Tractor Financing services, built over the years, is further
strengthened by extending the refinancing facility to its
prime customers with a good credit and payment history.
LTFH has strengthened its Right to Win in business by
moving to a desired OEM and Asset mix and by de-risking
over-dependencies. Disbursement from preferred OEMs
now contributes 73% of the total disbursements in FY
2019-20.
LTFH disbursed R 9,884 crore of micro loans in FY 2019-20,
benefiting over 28 lakh women in rural and semi-urban
areas who depend on dairy, grocery shops and similar allied
activities for earning their daily livelihood.
LTFH introduced the ‘Mid Term Renewal Product’ (MTRP)
scheme which aims to provide pre-approved early repeat
loans for existing customers with an excellent repayment
history, resulting in repeat business contributing 40% of
the total business.
Despite the challenging environment witnessed in the
housing market, direct sourcing initiatives have helped
scale up home loans from 69% in FY 2018-19 to 72% in
FY 2019-20.
281
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL SERVICES BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Housing Finance
Mutual Funds
With the strategy to optimise its sectoral mix, the business
scouted for disbursement opportunities in newer infra-
related sectors and, during the year, has funded 2 projects
of City Gas distribution (CGD) which are being executed by
the AG&P group.
Asset origination with a clear perspective of ‘Churn’, the
business achieved a key milestone of R 25,000 crore of
cumulative sell-down since FY’17. Further, while there was
a reduction in overall sell-down volumes during the year
due to the liquidity challenges being faced by NBFCs and
the consolidation of PSU banks, it managed to sell down
R 780 crore of Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) road projects
to public sector banks.
FY 2019-20 was a year which also saw more rating
downgrades than upgrades. In such a difficult operating
environment, LTFH was successful in being assigned a AAA
rating by CRISIL for the first time (October 2019). With
this, all 4 rating agencies (viz., CRISIL, India Ratings, CARE
and ICRA) have reaffirmed / rated LTFH as ‘AAA’ during FY
2019-20.
Environment, Health and Safety
LTFH recognises that the physical risks of climate change
are very high, and thereby ensures that its operations and
investments have a positive environmental impact in line
with its Sustainability Policy. The policy has environmental
objectives including:
• Products and services that contribute to the sustainable
development of the Indian economy while ensuring
application of environmentally friendly practices
• To reduce the adverse impact of climate change, and
promote energy efficiency and environmentally friendly
operations
The business is working towards lowering Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emissions through its operations. It believes that
its operational efficiency can be enhanced by measuring,
managing and mitigating GHG emissions. The business
is also in the process of phasing out ozone-depleting
substances (ODS) by reducing their usage and has installed
inverters in place of DGs to reduce carbon emissions.
Investments in technology are a part of LTFH’s commitment
towards sustainability. The digital transformation efforts
– e-communications and mobile apps across its business
segments – have led to an impressive reduction in paper
usage and, in turn, emission reduction. 100% E-waste is
re-cycled through registered recyclers in accordance with
the E-Waste Management and Handling Rules.
282
Real Estate Finance
Two-Wheeler Finance
Human Resources
The business believes that its people are its most important
asset, and works with a clear plan for capitalizing and
building upon their capabilities.
LTFH competes on the strength of its people; employees
who are united by the core values of pride, integrity,
discipline and ambition, and thrive in the climate of
the ‘Right People for the Right Culture’. A culture of
entrepreneurship and empowerment has been built, with
‘Results, Not Reasons’ being at its core. Believing that
knowledge is the differentiator, the business has modelled
itself as a learning organisation by focusing on ‘Stretch,
Learn and Grow’.
The business talent strategy, aligned with its goals,
is performance oriented. The business believes that
building individual capabilities with focus and direction
and leveraging them in a structured manner through job
rotation builds up organisational capability. It encourages
employees who have demonstrated the right capability,
the right attitude and the desire to ‘Step Up’. As part
of its strategy to groom talent who are future-ready,
cross-functional movements are encouraged and they are
up-skilled through ‘Education, Exposure and Experience’.
LTFH is an equal-opportunity employer, where meritocracy
is the norm, and helps build a forward-looking organisation
that can deal with the ever-changing business landscape.
Risks and Concerns
At this juncture, there are several uncertainties that cloud
India’s growth outlook and macroeconomic stability
during FY 2020-21. The critical GDP contributors for India,
comprising private consumption, investment and external
trade, may get significantly impacted on the plausible
scenario of a prolonged lockdown to contain the COvID-19
outbreak. The pandemic may have credit risk and liquidity
implications for the NBFC sector. Despite steep monetary
easing by the RBI, the cost of borrowing for NBFCs has
witnessed an increase owing to fiscal slippage expectations
and elevated risk premia for NBFCs. Furthermore,
asymmetry in loan moratorium relief announced during the
lockdown period (concessions from the asset side but not
from the liability side) is likely to create liquidity stresses and
ALM challenges for NBFCs.
The business of NBFCs is expected to experience a
pressure on the NIMs owing to surplus liquidity in the
banking system, coupled with a significant drop in new
disbursements and fee income. Lower collections due to
restrictive measures to counter the COvID-19 outbreak and
the adverse impact on the earnings of the borrowers are
likely to put additional pressures on asset quality and credit
costs, which could be more pronounced in certain relatively
more vulnerable segments, such as micro loans, loans
against property (LAP), affordable housing and real estate
segments.
283
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL SERVICES BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
With the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, the RBI
has undertaken a series of radical policy measures to infuse
liquidity into the banking system via Targeted Long Term
Repo Operation (TLTRO), reduction in policy rate, widening
the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) corridor, availability
of funding for NBFC/HFC sector (TLTRO 2.0), etc. This
has helped restore a degree of normalcy in short-term
market rates. However, there has not been much effect on
medium-long term rates which, at best, saw a marginal
decline.
In April, following the Government’s decision to hike
its gross market borrowings for FY21 in the light of the
economic package to mitigate the impact of the economic
slowdown, there has been a rise in G-Sec yields reflecting
market nervousness on account of anticipated higher fiscal
deficit. Credit spreads have remained wide on account of
heightened risk aversion from market participants, who see
repayment stress affecting in particular, the NBFC sector,
due to which interest rates for FY 2020-21 are anticipated
to be elevated. This is despite the fact that the inflation rate
is expected to remain benign due to the demand crunch
both in the rural as well as the urban sectors and also due
to likely low crude oil prices in the world market.
The business is confident of managing the hazards of
adverse business conditions with the help of in-depth
business knowledge, strong managerial capabilities, an
agile execution engine, deep market penetration, risk
mitigation through various market and credit checks, robust
early warning systems and the extensive use of analytics.
Outlook
The global macroeconomic outlook is overcast with the
adverse impact of the COvID-19 pandemic which has
caused dislocations in global supply chains, among others.
Several multilateral agencies have projected a recession
for the global economy in 2020, with the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) warning of the worst global recession
in almost a century. Major nations, including India, have
responded by expansionary monetary and fiscal policies
to ensure liquidity and credit flow to their economies.
Nevertheless, the pace of the containment of the pandemic
will determine the depth of the recession while the policy
responses announced in the meanwhile will support the
pace of recovery in 2021.
Rating agencies and economic think-tanks have lowered
India’s growth projections for the year FY 2020-21 to
a lowly positive growth print on the back of factory
shutdowns, supply chain disruptions, travel restrictions,
reduced discretionary spending and a recessionary outlook
for the global economy. Many believe this decline as a
cyclical event and that India’s structural story is intact.
However, a prolonged economic slowdown could adversely
affect all credit intermediaries and financial markets. The
asset quality of banks and NBFCs could further deteriorate
amid the broad-based economic slowdown.
The outlook on inflation remains subdued during FY 2020-
21 due to adequate buffer stocks in cereals, a good rabi
harvest, record decline in global crude prices, low pricing
power of firms and expectations of a normal monsoon in
FY 2020-21.
LTFH expects that disbursements in retail will start gradually
as the economy opens up, and in Infrastructure and Real
Estate will be largely limited to tranche disbursements,
while fresh disbursements are subject to higher risk
controls.
LTFH remains resilient by continuing to focus on the
strengths built over the past few years, viz. a strong ALM
and enhanced liquidity on the back of well-established
liability franchise, a strong balance sheet demonstrated
through reduction in GS3 and comfortable capital
adequacy.

Private Partnership (PPP) format, toll collection
including annuity-based road projects, power
development, power transmission and providing
related advisory services.
Vadodara-Bharuch Tollway Limited
L&T INFRASTRUTURE
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
LIMITED (L&T IDPL)
Overview:
L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Limited
(L&T IDPL) is a pioneer of the Public-Private
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 entity has completed
landmark infrastructure projects across key sectors
like roads, bridges, transmission lines, ports,
airports, water supply, renewable energy and
urban infrastructure. It is one of India’s largest
road developers, as measured by lane kilometres
under concession agreements signed with Union
and State Government authorities. Currently,
L&T IDPL has 10 operational road assets and the
Kudgi Transmission Project in its portfolio. It also
manages 5 operational road assets transferred to
Indinfravit Trust, an InvIT that the entity sponsored
285
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Interstate Road Corridor Limited
and launched in May 2018 as the first privately
placed InvIT in India, with 77% holding from an
international pension fund and insurance investors.
Two decades of extensive experience of working
with governments, multi-lateral agencies,
international and domestic financial institutions
and corporate entities has helped the business
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, in December 2014 and
December 2015 respectively. This is the first direct
private investment by the largest Canadian pension
fund into an Indian Infrastructure Development
company. During the year, on conversion of
Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares, the
CPPIB became a 49% equity holder and L&T’s stake
in L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Ltd (L&T
IDPL) has been diluted to 51%.
286
Business Environment
Transportation sector
Considering that the private sector has moved away from
Build Operate Transfer and the response to Hybrid Annuity
Model projects has also been dwindling, NHAI has focussed
on the Toll Operate Transfer (TOT) model. During the year,
the entity associated itself with the National Infrastructure
& Investment Fund (NIIF) and the CPPIB for their consortium
bid for TOT Bundle 3.
In order to drive the Digital India vision of Electronic
Toll Collection (ETC), the Ministry of Road Transport &
Highways (MoRTH), with effect from December 2019,
made the Fastag mandatory for all commercial and private
vehicles plying on NHAI roads. The entity successfully led
the Fastag implementation on some of the busiest stretches
in the country. ETC collections, as a proportion of total toll
collections, went up from 27% in March 2019 to 72%
in March 2020. This has increased user convenience and
reduced cash-handling issues.
Transmission Lines
During the year, the entity resumed bidding activities
and participated in five bids under the TBCB (Tariff-Based
Competitive Bid) framework.
The Ministry of Power, GoI, Central Electricity Authority
(CEA) and Solar Energy Corporation of India have
Kudgi Transmission Limited
collectively decided to construct a Green Energy Corridor
across the country to make India grid-ready for upcoming
power generation through renewable energy sources.
CEA has approved 24 projects worth R 32,000 crore for
bidding under TBCB. However, the timelines for bidding are
uncertain due to COvID-19.
Major Achievements
MoRTH has instituted the ‘National Highways Excellence
Awards’ to recognize the country’s best-performing road
assets and toll plazas, both concessionaire-managed and
NHAI-managed. For the year 2019-20, Krishnagiri Thoppur
Tollways Ltd (KTTL) managed by IDPL won the Silver award,
while several others owned/managed by IDPL figured in
various categories as Champions. These road assets are
highlighted in the annual calendar and dossier of MoRTH,
which are widely distributed across the country.
In a road subsidiary for a project terminated in 2015,
there was a favourable arbitration award for termination
payments. Another road subsidiary received a favourable
arbitration award for a construction claim.
The entity actively supported Indian Highways Management
Company Limited (IHMCL), the agency responsible to carry
out Electronic Tolling, at various policy level discussions,
SOPs and operational experiences to enhance the
applicability and efficacy of Fastag across the nation. In
the Transmission Service Agreement of the project, the key
aspect is its availability. In FY 2019-20, Kudgi Transmission
Line (KTL) achieved an availability of 99.99% and thereby
earned incentives. The maintenance cost of KTL was also
reduced substantially as compared to the previous year.
Significant Initiatives
During FY 2019-20, remarkable advancements were made
towards digitalisation. Ahead of Fastag being called in
mandatorily, the business proactively envisaged the strong
need to push IT infrastructure to facilitate an enhanced user
experience and efficient operations. This resulted in the
development of the completely automated and centrally
monitored Fastag control system. This system enables the
automatic generation of all related transactional reports
and expeditious notification of class discrepancy evidence
to the acquiring bank, arresting revenue leakages.
The various other Digital Initiatives across the functions
include:
• End-to-End Integrated new age SAP S4 Hana
replacing existing ERP
During the year, the project for implementing SAP S4
Hana 1909 along with various other bolt-on products/
applications, such as SAP Ariba, vendor Portal, Business
on Maps, Mobile Application for route operations and
O&M teams, etc., were initiated. All these applications,
287
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Sambalpur Rourkela Tollway Limited
once implemented, will be integrated with SAP, and will
enhance the speed of reporting and response.
This initiative also includes the implementation of 17+
SAP modules, some of which are first of their kind in
India to be implemented in an integrated way. Go-Live is
planned by August 2020.
• Human Resources
In the current financial year, the entire spectrum of HR
operations has moved to a sophisticated application
called EmployWise, which covers the entire employee
life cycle from ‘Hire to Retire’. It is on the cloud (SAAS -
Software as a service).
• Security-related Implementation
Numerous measures have been taken to tighten security,
and various tools and components have been introduced
and implemented. Network segregation has been done
at all toll plazas as well. People were enabled to work
from home in a secure way via secured vPN, end-point
security, etc.
• Kudgi Transmission Ltd (KTL) has gone completely digital
in its Operations and Maintenance
Environment, Health and Safety
The business is 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 facilitate the implementation of the EHS policy,
various Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have
been formulated defining individual responsibilities and
procedures relating to Environmental, Health and Safety
matters.
A system called Route Operations Management System
(ROMS) has been implemented, which enables immediate
reporting of any incident to the project head and functional
head concerned in the form of a Preliminary Accident
Information Report (PAIR) and Final Accident Information
Report (FAIR).
Kudgi Transmission Line (KTL) has successfully achieved a
full safe year for all its manpower.
With the onset of the COvID-19 pandemic, the entity
enhanced its preparedness early on. A range of preventive
measures were undertaken in line with the guidelines under
Government advisories/regulations. The entity has also
been an early mover in rolling-out a detailed Operations
SOPs for not only dealing with the contagion but also
ensuring business continuity, including establishing a
concrete Disaster Recovery Plan.
288
Sambalpur Rourkela Tollway Limited
Human Resources
The business has well-laid practices in terms of recruitment
of talent and retention. Employees are kept 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.
The business has in place a Rewards & Recognition (R&R)
programme to drive performance and boost the morale
of the employees spanning across the categories. ‘An
engaged workforce will be a very productive workforce’ is
the principle based on which the R&R programme has been
devised.
With the aim of building future leaders, the business
has devised a 9-month long learning programme, called
‘Capability Capitalization’, for a select few potential future
leaders. This journey aims to mould an employee into a
well-rounded leader. The sessions comprise psychometric
tools to enhance self-awareness, awareness of the
ecosystem, etc. Tools are administered to further enhance
the Emotional Intelligence quotient. Change orientation,
mastering the change curve, team behaviour using tools
such as Belbin and Business Simulations are also covered.
Getting these potential future leaders to understand the
importance of communication for influence, business
thinking and developing managerial acumen are integral
parts of this learning journey.
Risks and Concerns
Traffic & Tariff are key factors in the Toll business. In the
aftermath of COvID-19, the nature of recovery across
various sectors, such as automobiles, mining, construction,
exports, etc., will play a pivotal role in determining the
traffic growth characteristics across the portfolio. Further,
in some of the projects, the annual toll tariff revisions
are based on the wholesale price index (WPI). Lower
WPI coupled with lower traffic could lead to lower toll
collections. The impact of the pandemic on toll collections
is being addressed by the business by resorting to
provisions under the Concession Agreements under force
majeure.
The mandatory implementation of Fastag has led to
various challenges, such as plaza-level cyber security,
data management and timely discrepancy reporting to
acquiring banks. However, the entity proactively recognised
the associated risks and reinforced the IT infrastructure
requirements and SOPs. This resulted in the seamless shift
towards Fastag implementation across the SPvs. Currently,
the entity hosts a completely digitalised and centrally
monitored in-house data management and monitoring
289
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Hyderabad Metro Rail - Hitec City line
framework for Fastag transactions, which is thoroughly
secured.
Outlook
The Government of India intends to provide a strong thrust
to the Infrastructure sector via the National Infrastructure
Pipeline (NIP). Out of the total project capital expenditure
of NIP, 19% ~ R 20 lakh crore would be spent on the
Transportation sector.
Prior to COvID-19, toll revenue was expected to increase
to the tune of 6%. However, in the near term, the toll
revenues are expected to contract as compared to the
previous year due to lower traffic growth and lower WPI.
COvID-19 has presented an unprecedented challenge,
resulting in a nationwide lockdown and hence a sharp
decline in traffic across the country. This event has been
categorised as a force majeure event under the concession
agreement, the cashflow for the year will be stressed, and
hence cash conservation will be the key.
The MoRTH has issued a memorandum providing relief
to contractors / developers of the road sector under the
‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ Scheme and directing NHAI to
provide force majeure relief to concessionaires impacted
by COvID-19. A separate committee is being set up
under the chairmanship of Director General (RD) &
Special Secretary to suggest further steps in this regard.
290
The Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure),
Government of India has also issued a circular to provide
extension of concession period between 3 to 6 months.
Expeditious approval in the Change of Scope in contracts,
extension of Concession Period, and provision of Revenue
Shortfall Loans are some of the immediate relief measures
mentioned in the memorandum published by MoRTH. In
addition, certain SPvs of the entity have availed of the debt
repayment moratorium announced by the RBI to take care
of immediate cashflow requirements.
The business has initiated necessary action and believes
that the impact will be substantially mitigated.
L&T METRO RAIL (HYDERABAD)
LIMITED (L&TMRHL)
Overview:
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&TMRHL) is
a Special Purpose vehicle (SPv) incorporated on
24th August, 2010 to undertake the business to
construct, operate and maintain the Metro Rail
System including the Transit Oriented Development
(TOD), in Hyderabad under the Public Private
Partnership model on Design, Build, Finance,
Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis. L&TMRHL
Hyderabad Metro Rail on the Viaduct
entered into a Concession Agreement with the
erstwhile Government of Andhra Pradesh on 4th
September, 2010.
The Concession Agreement includes construction of
71.16 km of elevated metro rail corridor and rights
for real estate development of 18.5 million sq. ft.,
with strategically located land parcels interspersed
in prime city locations adjoining metro stations
and metro corridors. The concession period of
the project is 35 years, from the appointed date
of 5th July, 2012 including the initial construction
period of 5 years. This is extendable for a further
period of 25 years, subject to fulfilment of certain
conditions by the SPv as set out in the Concession
Agreement.
As per the Concession Agreement (CA), the
scheduled Commercial Operation date (COD) for
the project was 5th July, 2017. However, due to
delays in providing required RoW and confirming
alignment changes by the Government, extension
of the COD to 30th June, 2020 was approved.
L&TMRHL completed execution of the project
well ahead of the extended time granted.
L&TMRHL completed commissioning of the entire
stretch progressively, with the last stage getting
commissioned in February 2020. The entire project
is now operational.
During the year, the construction of 1.28 million sq.
ft. of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) consisting
of 4 malls and an office block has been completed
and has commenced commercial operations.
Construction work of 0.5 million sq. ft. of office
space at Raidurg site is currently under way. The
entity is chalking out plans for phased development
of the balance TOD.
Business Environment
The Hyderabad Metro Rail is the world’s largest metro
project in public-private partnership mode. It brings
together ‘best in class’ resources and technology in every
aspect of the project – stations, rolling stock, track work,
depots, AFC, power supply, traction and SCADA system,
signalling and train control systems and telecom systems.
Metros are an environment-friendly, safe and punctual
mode of transport. They ease commuting in densely
populated cities and towns. Given the population density of
Hyderabad, L&TMRHL 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 ensure higher ridership of 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.
291
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Hyderabad Metro Rail Uppal Depot and Nagole Station
However, with the onset of the COvID-19 pandemic, the
environment has been impacted in the short term. The
entity is looking at various innovative business models to
overcome this challenge.
Significant Initiatives
• Robust and affordable last mile connectivity initiatives to
enhance the ridership
• Launched corporate shuttle services from metro stations
to corporate offices
• All metro stations have a bike-rental facility
• Exploring non-fare revenue generating options, viz.
royalty amount from QR ticketing partners, consultancy
services for other metros, cross-selling of products to
commuters
• Tied up with ticketing partners like Goibibo, MakeMyTrip,
Phonepe, Paytm, etc. and launched Mobile Ticketing (QR
Code generation) solution for the convenience of metro
commuters
• Provision of skywalks from the Metro stations to the
adjoining TOD malls to enhance convenience and
business potential
Digitalisation
Easing the pressure of reconciling huge, heterogeneous
data on fare collection, L&TMRHL has automated Fare
292
Revenue Reconciliation between Automatic Fare Collection
System Reports vs Payment Channel Reports vs Bank
Reports. To make the metro travel easy and trouble-free,
it is coming up with the EMv-based Open Loop Ticketing
(Euro Master visa (EMv) card) solution for metro
commuters.
L&TMRHL has started using Business Intelligence IT
tools like Alteryx and Tableau for both business and
passenger data analysis/interpretation, which will improve
Management decisions.
L&TMRHL has put in place a process for automation of
refunds to customers by developing an auto verification
process of the refund data using software tools. This
software tool verifies items of refund reported by the
Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC) with the smart card
history data base. The tool helps minimising the process
time and facilitates timely refunds to customers.
Awards and Recognition
Prestigious awards received by L&TMRHL during FY
2019-20 include:
1. DCD National Awards 2019 – Hybrid IT Project of the
Year Award
2. Institute of Economic Studies – Enhancing the Image of
Metro Rails in India - Globally
Sharp bend of the Viaduct
3. DCD Global Awards 2019 – Hybrid IT Project of the
Year Award
4. CSO 100 Awards 2019 – the Information Security
Project has added significant benefit to the
organization, its employees, associates and vendors
Environment, Health and Safety
A mass transit system helps move large numbers of
commuters away from private vehicles, helping reduce
the carbon footprint of the city. It helps reduce the air
pollution, since it operates on electricity and hence there
is no emission of greenhouse gases. It also helps reduce
sound pollution due to the efficiency of the coaches and
the advanced engineering that has been used for building
the track, viaduct as well as metro coaches. Further, the
smart-card option reduces paper consumption.
The Automatic Train Protection (ATP) System implemented
continuously monitors safe train operations. Automatic
Train Supervision (ATS) pre-empts unscheduled interruptions
of train services. Station equipment such as Computer-
based Interlocking (CBI), wayside ATP, etc., are vital
signalling equipment and ensure safe and uninterrupted
train operations. Passenger Emergency Stop Plungers are
provided on each platform and in the Station Control Room
(SCR) to stop a train immediately in case of an emergency.
Risks and Concerns
With the Metro fully commissioned, the risks related to
construction phase are averted, except for the financial risks
of close out of pending claims. While the operational risks
now kick in viz. safety of passengers and assets, bus mode
of transport being preferred, considering the connectivity
and a drop in commuters in the feeder industry, especially
IT.
The business has a robust risk mitigation process and
several initiatives have been taken to avert / minimise the
impact of various risks, including:
• The appointment of Keolis, a reputed O&M operator
from France, with experience of providing safety
solutions
• Discussions with local bus transport authorities,
impressing upon them the need to work complementarily
• Thrust on developing additional revenue sources
However, the COvID-19 pandemic in the end of the
financial year is expected to have an impact on the
commuters, additional costs and real estate monetisation.
The business is working on ways to facilitate contactless
travel, increase focus on sanitisation of the metro system,
etc.
293
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BUSINESS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Rajpura project at the cusp of completion in December 2013
Outlook
With the entity getting into first full year of operation of
the metro, things had started looking up, aided by the
planned partial monetisation of the real estate. However,
the pandemic has brought in the challenges of:
• Commuters preference for avoidance of mass transit
• ITES commuters’ preference to continue to Work from
Home
• Drop in advertisement income due to curtailment of
expenses by various corporates
• Drop in oil prices, making alternative modes of transport
more attractive
• TOD revenues impacted by overall business sluggishness
• Major investments in realty sector may be on hold in the
short to medium term
All efforts are being taken to make Hyderabad Metro the
safest and cleanest transportation mode keeping in mind
the current pandemic situation. This gives L&TMRHL the
opportunity to shift the new customer segment to Metro
rail from other transportation modes like bus, auto, etc.
Also, contactless travel system integrated with other
transport modes focus on making travel safe.
294
Strategy alignment through innovative business models to
retain the competitive advantage in TOD and station retail
developments is a focus area.

Rajpura 2x700 MW Supercritical Technology based Thermal Power Plant
Nabha Power Limited (NPL)
Business Profile
NPL is operating a 2 X 700 MW supercritical thermal
power plant at Rajpura, Punjab. 100% of the power
generated from this plant is tied-up to Punjab State Power
Corporation Limited (PSPCL) for a period of twenty-five
years upto 2039 under a Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA). The plant is the first indigenously manufactured
supercritical power plant, built using technology sourced
from Mitsubishi, Japan.
The plant sources its fuel from South Eastern Coalfields
Ltd. (SECL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, under a
20-year Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA). NPL has 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
six years with an availability of over 85 % during FY20.
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 also.
NPL is the lowest cost thermal power producer within
Punjab, with benchmark-setting operational efficiency.
Business Environment
India’s Installed Capacity rose to 3,70,106 MW in FY 2019-
20, a marginal increase of 1.41% over the previous year,
of which the Installed Capacity of thermal power plants
is 55%. Dependence on the thermal generation is clearly
reflective, as it fulfils 71% of the total power requirement
in the country.
The Average Power Demand in Punjab was 6486 MW in FY
2019-20 and NPL contributed to 14% of the demand. The
Average Power Purchase rate was R 3.60 per KWh in FY20
vs R 3.48 per KWh in FY19.
Third Party Sampling and testing through CIMFR (Central
Institute of Mining and Fuel Research) has been operating
quite well to mitigate the grade variation issues in linkage
coal.

Environment, Health and Safety
NPL is committed to generating reliable and environment-
friendly power under safe working conditions. A policy
on Quality, Environment, Health and Safety has been put
in place. Emphasis is laid on continual improvement of
processes and practices to achieve improved environmental,
health and safety performance. Training on HSE for
employees and stakeholders is undertaken on a regular
basis to foster a culture of health and safety.
Human Resources
NPL has a team of 296 personnel including professionals
experienced in the field of operations and maintenance
of power plants and other support staff. NPL focusses
on leadership development and communication skills.
Emphasis is laid on participation in various training and
development programmes organized internally and
externally.
Risks and Concerns
As a private developer, NPL faces the following major risks:
• Delay in plant scheduling – increase in yard loss
• Delay in receipt of payment from DISCOM for monthly
bills
• Dispute for force majeure with DISCOM
• Coal quality from different mines
• Flue Gas Desulphurisation environmental compliances
The risk management policy of NPL provides for a
robust risk management framework which involves
risk identification, assessment & evaluation, strategy &
mitigation, and monitoring and review mechanisms. NPL
has implemented multiple measures in each of the risk
areas to ensure a proactive approach and timely mitigation.
Outlook
Due to the lockdown to contain spread of COvID-19,
power demand by industrial units and farmers in Punjab
has dropped substantially since March 2020. PSPCL may
prefer to optimize its power purchase costs by purchasing
power from the cheaper sources as the power exchange
prices have dropped substantially.
NPL is likely to remain the lowest cost thermal power
producer amongst the Independent Power Producers (IPPs)
in the state with an expected plant load factor of 73% in
FY21.
On the fuel side, coal supply continues to be challenging.
The GoI and GoP are pushing for reduction in coal imports
to reduce the cost of power. Non-approval of imported coal
may have adverse implications. Higher usage of RoM coal
may lead to higher maintenance and auxiliary consumption
and lower boiler efficiency.
NPL is geared to address the challenging times and
has been taking proactive steps like deferring capex/
modifications/non-routine purchases, negotiating better
credit from suppliers of coal, etc.

Business Environment
Over the last few years, though reforms and changes
like demonetization, RERA, GST, IBC, and the ban on

Emerald Isle Phase II, Powai, Mumbai
subvention schemes have caused disruption; these
measures also have helped the sector by bringing about
much-needed transparency, accountability and fiscal
discipline. The resultant stress on over-stretched balance
sheets has witnessed a higher rate of collaborations. The
ensuing consolidation has further strengthened the position
of L&T Realty in the market.
In FY 2019-20, the residential segment witnessed an
increase of 21% in new launches in key metro cities, with
affordable housing contributing significantly to this supply.
Residential sales also gained momentum, recording a y-o-y
rise of 5%. Nearly 52 Mn. sq. ft. of Grade A office space
was completed, of which 46 Mn. sq. ft. was absorbed in
the top 7 cities in the year 2019. The office space market
grew at a robust 40% y-o-y with net absorption across the
top seven cities – creating a new record. This growth in
demand was led mainly by the expansion of IT/ITeS (42% of
overall leasing) and co-working operators (14% of overall
leasing) in cities with robust fundamentals and planned
infrastructure improvements. However, retail sector leasing
was hit as consumer spending went down, resulting in
35% reduction in retail leasing activity in the top 7 cities.
The maiden Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), which
aimed to attract private investments and relieve the burden
on formal banking institutions, was listed in 2019. This has
set the stage for other real estate developers to consider
Artist’s Impression
the REIT as a vehicle to raise funds. The Government
of India (GoI), on its part, has introduced various fiscal
measures and policy reforms like the special window for
funding of stalled affordable and middle-income projects,
the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill 2019,
digitization of land records and reduction in corporate tax
rates. Indian real estate attracted USD 6.2 Bn of private
equity investments in the year.
The last quarter of FY 2019-20 threw up a unique
challenge in the form of the COvID-19 pandemic, first
threatening the health and safety of individuals and then in
the form of uncertainties in business continuity. While the
situation continues to remain fluid, the long-term impact of
this can perhaps only be assessed in the time to come.

improvement of employee safety, health and efficiency.
The I-BEMS IOT solution, an employee mobile app and – to
improve quality further – a mobile-based inspection app
called ‘SQAD’ have been implemented. The BIM solution
has been adopted for an advanced design process, and
soon 4D BIM initiatives will be started to track progress
visually. To provide a better customer experience at each
touchpoint, the Salesforce ecosystem for digital marketing,
sales and CRM has been implemented, complemented by
deploying augmented reality solutions and digital flipbooks.
Innovation
Besides excellence in design and development, L&T
Realty strives for innovation in every project. Emerald Isle
(Phase 2) features the first residential building in Mumbai
constructed with pre-finished bathroom PoDs (Prefabricated
on Demand), leading to reduction in finishing time and
delivery of an enhanced quality product.
Human Resources
L&T Realty makes every effort to generate a never-ending
desire to collaborate, learn and build a talent pool to stay
relevant to customers’ needs at all times. The business is
focused on creating a young vibrant organization; currently
the average age in the organization is 37 years. With
emphasis on gender diversity, L&T Realty has one of the
highest number of women employees in the Indian real
estate sector.

Artist’s Impression
Focusing on the employees’ physical and mental well-being,
a one-of-its-kind programme ‘Couch to 5K / 10K’ was
initiated this year, in which employees were professionally
trained and motivated towards their own well-being
through specially organized city marathons. The business
has been providing avenues for capability building and
continuous learning and this year clocked 1,920 man-days
of dedicated personnel training.
Risks and Concerns
As the after-effects of COvID-19 evolve, the real estate
sector is expected to be considerably impacted. Markets
have shown a negative sentiment towards real estate
sector. Further, the lockdown and stalling of construction
activity will lead to delayed construction schedules, which
will be further impacted by the unavailability of labour.
On the demand side, the lockdown has affected customer
walk-ins; and buying decisions have been deferred due to
the uncertainty regarding the return of normalcy. For the
next few quarters, office space demand is also expected
to remain subdued as the expansion plans and capital
expenditures of major corporates has been put on hold.
Outlook
Before COvID-19, the Indian real estate sector was slowly
coming out of the difficult phase. The residential segment
was in distress and the commercial segment was doing
well. Post the advent of the pandemic, the distress spread
across the industry chain. The commercial segment has
been largely dependent on US companies for a large
part of the annual offtake. As the impact of COvID-19 is
maximum in the US, companies may defer their expansion
or office consolidation plans. The segment is expected to
contract 20 – 30% in the short term before it starts to gain
traction again.
Near-term troubles are certain for the sector. However, with
Government support, the medium-to-long-term outlook is
positive. Other asset classes becoming riskier in the current
situation, smart investors, especially HNIs, are expected to
take advantage of the investment opportunities. Big real
estate funds are facing their own challenges; however,
many believe in the long-term story of the country and are
expected to continue with their investments to capture
attractive valuations.
The softening of interest rates would encourage buyers
who are re-looking at investment options, as hard assets
will be more lucrative than stock markets. NRIs may want
to own a house back in India, considering the uncertain
economic environment in their host countries.
Developers will focus on conserving cash and optimizing
resources. New launches will be paused for next few
quarters and, as a measure to pool in liquidity, the focus
would be on selling the inventory in hand. The marketing
approach to reach customers is already undergoing a
change, with enhanced digital outreach to sell directly.

In the changed business scenario, the industry is looking
at a big wave of consolidation. L&T Realty is set to take
advantage of the situation and is confident of its growth
and expansion, given its strong business framework and
the brand connect with its customers.
L&T VALVES LIMITED
Overview:
L&T valves (LTvL) is a leading manufacturer of
industrial valves with a global manufacturing
presence. The business leverages six decades of
manufacturing excellence to serve key sectors of the
economy – such as oil and gas, defence, nuclear &
aerospace, power, petrochemicals, chemicals, water
and pharmaceuticals – in India and overseas. L&T
valves manufactures a wide range of products, such
as Gate, Globe, Check, Ball, Butterfly, Plug and
Control valves, as well as automation solutions. The

needs.
The business has three state-of-the-art facilities in
Tamil Nadu and Gujarat in India, and has established
two new facilities in the USA and Saudi Arabia
respectively. LTvL’s products enhance safety,
reliability and performance in industries across the
world.
Business Environment
Market indicators such as prices of crude oil and natural
gas, environmental norms for fugitive emissions as well as
economic parameters of GDP growth, pace of urbanization
and capital investment in projects remain the key drivers
of demand for LTvL. The business environment in most of
these parameters remained stable through the first three
quarters in FY 2019-20. The investment climate across
sectors was lukewarm with an increased thrust on cost
reduction and faster implementation. LTvL has maintained
its portfolio spread in terms of domestic v/s international
business. In FY 2019-20, approximately 40% of its order
inflows were secured from overseas markets.
With structural challenges ailing the power sector, there
were no significant capacity additions in the thermal
power space. However, the new fugitive emission norms
introduced by the GoI opened up some opportunities in the
form of Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) projects.
Major Achievements
Major Orders Received
The business focussed on diligent build-up of its order
book during FY 2019-20 with a focus on improvement in
margins and on-time delivery performance. Some of the

process automation through ERP and material management
during the year. Key initiatives included:
• AR-based real-time plant tour and product inspections
• Fully automated product costing system
Environment, Health and Safety
Environment, Health and Safety are at the core of
LTvL’s operations and the business remains committed
to achieving EHS excellence in its workplaces. various
initiatives in the area of health, safety and environment
helped the business achieve a ‘zero man-days lost’ record
during the year.

Human Resources
The business has built a committed and experienced team
of professionals over the decades. Special emphasis is laid
on training and development of the workforce. In addition
to competency building programmes, focus is also laid on
soft skills and leadership development. various engagement
initiatives are undertaken to motivate employees and
maintain a harmonious workplace.
During the year, the business launched a focussed initiative,
committed to drive change management and talent
development under the flagship programme DISHA. At
the heart of this programme is the improvement of the
effectiveness of LTvL’s workforce in the marketplace.
Developmental initiatives, including training, mentoring
and coaching programmes, were organized for upskilling
high-potential employees. Cross-functional collaboration
workshops were identified as another key focus area and a
programme series was launched during the year to achieve
the team goals.
Risks and Concerns
The industrial valves market is a highly fragmented space.
With an increased focus by customers on faster deliveries
and lower costs, the market environment is highly
competitive. However, given the geographical spread of the
demand base, the business has a high market share gain
potential through its geographical, channel and product
expansion strategies.
The post-COvID-19 market scenario remains fraught with
uncertainty. Further, the business has major linkage to
the fortunes of the oil & gas segment, which is currently
facing major turmoil. Some of the major risks identified
are weakening demand, supply chain disruption, liquidity
crunch, delays in project awards, availability of labour
workforce and working capital management.
LTvL has a robust risk management framework in place and
has taken several initiatives to mitigate the risks, viz.
• Market share gain strategies through geographical,
product and channel expansions
• Building alternative revenue streams through brand
labelling
• Consolidating Aftermarket business presence
• Refining its product mix with focus on standard products
• Global manufacturing presence
• Global supply chain
• Enhanced Contract Manufacturing capacity
• Improving cost competitiveness through cost reduction
measures
• Operational excellence initiatives to improve delivery
performance

Outlook
The business is closely monitoring key demand indicators
such as crude oil prices, capacity additions, liquidity,
project capex spending and GDP trends in the relevant
geographies. It does expect a slowdown in the market in
the coming year if the lockdown across the world continues
for a longer than expected duration thereby affecting its
demand indicators and prospects. The dip in oil prices
normally affects the valve industries by one-year time
lag. Capital spending is expected to stay tepid for a few
quarters in the new financial year. Liquidity may also pose a
challenge due to the COvID-19 pandemic for the first two
quarters of next year.
The initiatives on geographical expansion of markets and
operations, product mix, focus on aftermarket business,
brand labelling, etc., provide immense opportunities and
will act as mitigation measures. The business is taking
adequate steps to maintain liquidity and preserve cash.
Once the situation normalises, the entity is geared to
expand its market share gain strategies and to develop an
alternative supply chain to enhance its cost and delivery
efficiency. With a strong order book, it continues to
position itself as a brand that maintains high customer
focus and high standards of quality and design. It also
expects the COvID-19 pandemic to provide opportunities
for its maintenance, repair and operations segment. With
the oil prices expected to redeem in Q4 of FY 21, and the
fragmented nature of the global valve market together
with the strategies deployed by LTvL, the outlook remains
positive.

Business Environment
Construction & Mining Machinery Business
(CMM)
The construction and mining sectors are the key demand
drivers of the CMM business.
During the year, highway construction activity decreased
as compared to the previous year as the overall contract
awarding activity fell. Further prolonged slowdown in real
estate projects continue to weigh on the business.
The Union budget FY 2020-21 proposes to invest about
R 82,000 crore on road construction and R 70,000 crore on
Railways. With the above budget proposals, construction
activity is expected to pick up pace during the coming year.
In the mining sector, coal production registered a growth
of ~3.8% over the previous year. The Indian Government
has approved an ordinance that opens up the coal sector
by allowing commercial coal mining as well as removing
end-use restrictions. The move is likely to increase the coal
mining activity in the coming years. Iron ore production too
registered a growth of ~6.7% over the previous year.

The installed capacity in the cement sector has increased
from 480 MT to 499 MT in FY 2019-20, with an increase in
overall production from 334 MT to 344 MT in FY 2019-20.
The above positives are likely to boost the demand for
mining equipment.
However, the NBFC crisis’ continuing to impact liquidity in
the economy, coupled with stiff competition from domestic
and Chinese mining equipment manufacturers, has
impacted growth.
Rubber Processing Machinery Business (RPM)
The demand for the machinery manufactured by the LTRPM
unit is dependent on tyre demand and is indirectly linked to
the automobile industry.
FY 2019-20 was not a good year for automotive market
globally. Currently, the automobile industry is at crossroads
due to an increased preference for shared mobility.
Coupled with a fall in demand is the technology shift
towards greener electric cars. The protracted slowdown
has taken a toll on the automotive industry, with 2-4%
de-growth in automobile sales across the world.
The automobile industry witnessed one of its sharpest
declines in domestic sales due to subdued demand and
consumer sentiments, besides lower production in view of
the transition to BS vI emission norms, affecting wholesale
despatches. Due to the severe challenges, the industry
witnessed a decline in production of 14.73% compared
to FY 2018-19. Despite the current situation, the Indian
automobile sector still has enormous potential and is
anticipating demand growth.
The global tyre market reached a volume of 3.2 billion
units in 2019-20, growing at a CAGR of around 4%
during 2014-2019. However, the sales growth tapered
in 2019, with growth seen in select geographies only.
In line with automobile sales, the OEM tyre market has
come down approximately by 2-4%. The replacement
tyre demand continues to be mostly flat and stable due
to higher passenger vehicles on road. Along with this, the
growing infrastructure activities in both the developed and
developing countries, combined with agricultural activities
is giving a boost to tyre sales in select segments.
The Indian tyre market has reached a consumption volume
of 185 million units in 2019-20. The market is currently
being driven by the increasing use of radial tyres, especially
for buses and trucks. There has been the constant threat of
cheaper imports from China, etc. Tyre industry investments
have been slow due to uncertain demand growth. There
has been a marked slowdown in industry investment
starting almost from Q2’ FY20. Tyre majors across the globe
are concentrating on realising the money out of their earlier
investments and are choosing to either cancel or defer their
orders.

Excellence from CII. It has also won a Gold Award in the
Indian Green Manufacturing challenge and in 5S won a
Platinum Award and a Sustenance award from ABK- AOTS
Dosokai.
Digitalisation
Digitalisation in CMB has been one of the focus areas in the
past year. During the year, a new initiative, ‘EQUIPCARE’,
was implemented to serve the customers’ post-sales service
requirements. An App - ‘Customer Connect’ - is being
developed to help customers access complete service
information pertaining to their machines on their mobile
phones. Migration to SAP S4 HANA was completed during
the year, helping the users to process data faster.
On the digital front, the LTRPM business has established
a system for the Total Productivity Management (TPM)
track, monitoring adaptive feed and collision monitoring
in the manufacturing process. The unit also has initiated
digitalisation of customer connectivity through the
proposed E-CRM portal.
Environment, Health and Safety
Safety Officers are appointed at all the units and report to
management personnel. They are responsible for ensuring
that the safety practices are strictly adhered to. Safety
audits are conducted regularly to ensure that the safety
practices are in place and are being followed.
The manufacturing unit of RPM is certified in OHSAS under
Integrated Management Systems. LTCML 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 business 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 programmes for leadership

for FY 2020-21. The motor graders segment is expected
to increase by ~10%. CMB also expects the spares and
auxiliaries’ business to grow by ~4%.
The Industrial Relations scenario has remained cordial in
the manufacturing units of the business. There were no
cases of violations during the year under the whistle-blower
policy and the policy on ‘Protection of Women’s Rights at
Workplace’.
Risks and Concerns
Increased market competition and macro-economic
volatility are continuing concerns for the business.
Due to the lockdown because of COvID-19 and its
economic impact, it is anticipated that the customers may
request for deferment of orders or extension of credit.
In the CMB business, immediate availability of contract
workmen at the customer sites post lifting of the lockdown
will pose a challenge.
Outlook
CMB plans to strengthen its position in the premium
segment and increase its focus on large contractors,
large irrigation projects and coal OB (over burden)
removal contractors. With a targeted spend plan of over
R 100 lakh crore by the government in the next 5 years in
infrastructure, there is a large scope for CMB to achieve
higher business volumes.
Government initiatives in infrastructure development
in roads, railways, irrigation, ports, urban & rural infra,
affordable housing, etc., are expected to drive demand
in the cement and metal sectors, which in turn will boost
demand for excavators, dump trucks, dozers and other
road construction and mining equipment. With ~60% of
demand for mining equipment coming from coal PSUs,
CMB is planning to target selective tenders along with
Komatsu.
The dozer segment is expected to grow by ~18%. Demand
for Komatsu excavators is expected to increase by ~10%
In the parts and services segment, CMB plans to introduce
newer and more innovative, user-friendly spares. It is also
in discussion with the dealers to develop component
repair service for construction equipment. However, as an
aftermath of COvID-19, major capex or investments are
likely to be deferred by the customers, thus impacting the
order inflow.
Post COvID-19, people may continue to observe social
distancing norms even after the crisis has subsided and that
will change the way people commute. Daily commuters
may prefer avoiding public transport and shared mobility
might take a short-term hit. As a result, the demand for
entry-level cars and two-wheelers might increase. But
this again depends on economic/ market sentiments and
consumer purchasing power. With the shutdown of all
non-essential services, the demand for commercial vehicles
is expected to further plummet. Tyre demand is likely
to remain low and tyre companies may not make any
immediate major fresh investments. However, companies
which have already committed the money may wish to
expedite their activity.
Further to the COvID-19 outbreak, it is anticipated that
there will be limitations to global travel, at least in the
immediate future. Also, some tyre companies may prefer
to source locally. While this augurs well for LTRPM in the
domestic market, it may be a disadvantage in European
projects with stiff competition from suppliers in Europe.
LTRPM plans to be selective in its order intake by executing
orders which require a shorter production time to minimise
the inventory holding. It will also focus on spare parts and
retrofit kits which will increase productivity to the customer
at minimal cost. Further, joint development of machines
with the client, along with service opportunities, are being
explored.

Financial Review 2019-20
I. L&T CONSOLIDATED
A. PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Indian economy faced a challenging year in FY
2019-20. Post the general elections, the Indian economy
witnessed sluggish investment momentum on the back
of weak consumer sentiment, lower tax collections
and fiscal slippages. The stress in the financial system
due to non-performing loans led to risk aversion and
low credit growth. The demand destruction in vital
sectors such as real estate, automobiles, etc., led to the
slowing economic growth and absence of broad-based
private investment in industrial capex and infrastructure
development. The onset of the global pandemic at the
very end of the financial year led to the lockdown of the
country’s social and economic activity, adding further
impetus to the economic slowdown.
To counter these challenges, the Government along with
the RBI initiated several measures both monetary and
fiscal at various times during the year, viz. reduction in
corporate tax rates, capital infusion into Public Sector
banks, relaxation of External Commercial Borrowing
guidelines for affordable housing, Realty Fund for stalled
housing projects and periodic lowering of interest rates
in line with an overall moderated inflation trajectory.
The Government’s firm commitment to substantially
boost investment in infrastructure development, rural
electrification, airports, railroads, water supply &
irrigation, social sector, education and health is expected
to provide opportunities to the Company’s various
business segments; although in the near term, the
Company would be required to deal with the economic
fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic. Further, with the
Government’s focus on structural reforms and the launch
of the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) of R 100+ lakh
crore, the Company expects the measures to improve
India’s long-term growth potential.
The global economy witnessed significant volatility
in 2019-20. The continued slump in manufacturing
coupled with challenges relating to growth, inflation
and employment, weakened the global GDP. Driven by
protectionist policies in developed economies, trade wars
intensified in various pockets across the world. The year
2019-20 also witnessed delayed Brexit, an oil price war
between Saudi Arabia and Russia, rising geo-political
tensions in the Middle East and the onslaught of the
global pandemic, leading to major lockdown measures
across countries. All these effectively created recessionary
conditions in the world economy towards the end of the
fiscal year.
Against the backdrop of such an environment, the
Group recorded satisfactory growth in order inflows
and revenues during FY 2019-20, though the impact of
the pandemic will inevitably be felt in the FY 2020-21.
Slowdown of infrastructure projects in multiple states
due to change in State Governments, macroeconomic
concerns and the systemic liquidity challenges slowed
down the growth plans of the Company for FY 2019-20.
The diversified portfolio of the Company coupled with the
acquisition and the quick integration of Mindtree Limited,
has however helped register reasonable growth at the
Group level.
Post the acquisition of Mindtree Limited during the
year, the entity has been consolidated as a subsidiary
from the second quarter of FY 2019-20. The acquisition
will help consolidate the Company’s position in the
IT-enabled services sector. In compliance with regulatory
requirements, the Company further diluted its stake in
L&T Technology Services (LTTS) to achieve 25% minimum
public shareholding during the year.
Shareholding in L&T Infrastructure Development Projects
Ltd (L&T IDPL) was also diluted to 51% on the partner
Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board obtaining
statutory approvals for conversion of Compulsorily
Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) into a 49% equity
stake in L&T IDPL under a negotiated agreement. L&T
Shipbuilding Limited which was a 100% subsidiary
company has now been merged with L&T standalone
entity as an adjusting event after obtaining NCLT approval
to the scheme of amalgamation. Also, during the year
FY 2019-20 the Company exited its shareholding in L&T
Kobelco Machinery Private Limited by selling its stake to
its JV partner Kobe Steel Ltd.
The Company is on course to complete divestment of
its Electrical & Automation (EA) business to Schneider
Electric. The approval of Competition Commission of
India subject to fulfilment of certain conditions has
been received and the business has been classified as
‘discontinued operation’ from June 2019, pursuant to
which the previous year figures have been regrouped
wherever necessary. Progress is being made on fulfilling
the conditions precedent to the divestment.
L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited, a subsidiary
company, successfully operationalized and commissioned
the last stretch of the metro rail during FY 2019-20,
thereby completing the full network of close to 70 km
in the city of Hyderabad. Another subsidiary company,
viz. Nabha Power Limited, which houses two units of
a thermal power plant at Rajpura in Punjab, received
a favourable Supreme Court judgement on its income
related disputes with Punjab State Power Corporation
Ltd. Also, in compliance with environment norms, this
subsidiary has placed an order for construction of Flue
Gas Desulphurisation system and work on this is in
progress.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
As at March 31, 2020, L&T Group comprises 117
subsidiaries, 6 associates, 25 joint venture companies
and 35 joint operations. Most of the group companies
are strategic extensions of the project and product
businesses of L&T, while the Hydrocarbon business is
housed in a separate set of group companies to provide
the desired focus and independent functioning. The
majority of the subsidiaries support L&T’s core businesses
and enable access to new geographies, products and
business segments. Certain distinct service businesses
such as Information Technology, Technology Services,
and Financial Services are housed in separate listed
subsidiaries. The development projects business resides in
separate subsidiaries and joint venture companies.
The Company continued on its journey of shareholder
value creation by focusing on cost efficiencies,
leveraging technology for productivity gains, efficient
fund management and targeting select international
opportunities beyond the Middle East. The Company’s
strong Balance Sheet, coupled with sound policies and
procedures and committed work force is helping it tide
over the current volatile economic environment and will
enable business to thrive and grow, once the environment
improves.

comprise cost of construction material, raw materials and
components, subcontracting expenses and interest costs
in Financial Services business. This represent 66.9% of
revenue, a decrease by 380 bps, mainly on account of
increased share of IT&TS segment as well as cost control
initiatives at the Group level.
Staff expenses for the year 2019-20 at R 23114 crore
increased by 32.3% over the previous year mainly on
consolidation of Mindtree - adjusted for the same,
the increase is 10.5% on a like-to-like basis. Adjusted
for IT&TS segment (where manpower augmentation
for revenue growth has led to an increase in the
total headcount), the staff cost as a percentage to
revenue increased by 30 bps, representing normal
escalation. The Group has sharpened its focus on
productivity improvement, digitalization and manpower
rationalization.
Sales and administration expenses increased by 27.3%
y-o-y to R 8647 crore - when adjusted for Mindtree
consolidation, the increase stands at 17.7% on a like-to-
like basis. The increase is mainly in Financial Services due
to higher credit cost and provisions in conformity with RBI
guidelines (issued consequent on moratorium relief given
to borrowers in the Covid-19 scenario). Other increases
that contributed to the rise include Expected Credit Loss
provisions for financial and contract assets, donations to
PM Cares fund and provision for write down of Yes Bank
AT1 bonds under regulatory mandate.
The Group operating profit at R 16329 crore for the year
2019-20 registered growth of 6.5% y-o-y. The EBITDA
margins for the year was lower by 10 basis points at
11.2%. Cost overruns encountered in some projects
coupled with slow progress in some jobs mainly in
Infrastructure segment impacted the operating margin.
The drop was partially offset by a favourable job mix,
coupled with execution efficiencies in Defence and
Hydrocarbon segments, and the reversal of provision on a
favourable arbitration award in the Power business.
Depreciation and Amortization charge
Depreciation and amortization charge for the year
2019-20 increased by 28% to R 2462 crore, compared
to R 1923 crore in previous year. The increase was largely
due to consolidation of Mindtree, full operationalization
of the Hyderabad Metro Rail concession and amortization
of Right of Use asset on adoption of the newly introduced
Ind AS 116 accounting standard in 2019-20.

Aided by profit on sale of liquid investments, interest

Other income at R 2361 crore, increased by 28.6% over

Finance cost
The interest expenses for the year 2019-20 at
R 2797 crore was higher by 55.2% over R 1803 crore for
the previous year. The increase was mainly attributable
to the higher interest cost in L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail
upon commencement of full operations, interest on
lease liability on application of Ind AS 116 and higher
level of borrowings in the standalone entity to fund
the higher level of working capital caused by the tight
liquidity conditions. Average borrowing cost for the year
FY 2019-20 increased to 8.1% from 7.9% in the previous
year.
Exceptional Items
There are no exceptional items during the year under
review. Previous year exceptional item of R 192 crore
(post-tax) represents write back of certain customer dues
upon realization based on favourable NCLAT order.
Tax Expense
Income Tax charge for FY 2019-20 (excluding tax charge
on discontinued operations) decreased to R 3263 crore
compared to R 4067 crore in FY 2018-19 on adoption
of tax ordinance resulting in lower effective tax rate,
partially offset by write-down of opening DTA for the
rate differential and write-off of opening MAT credit, due
316
to its unavailability under the new tax regime. Creation
of DTA in 2019-20 for set-off of capital losses has also
contributed to the lower tax charge.
Consolidated Profit after Tax and EPS
Consolidated Profit after Tax (PAT) at R 9549 crore for
the year 2019-20 rose by 7.2% over the previous year at
R 8905 crore.
Consolidated Basic Earnings per Share (EPS) from
continuing operations and discontinued operations for
the year 2019-20 at R 68.04 registered growth over
previous year at R 63.51.
Return on Consolidated Net Worth
The Net Worth, as on March 31, 2020, at R 66723 crore,
reflects net increase of R 4348 crore, as compared to the
position as on March 31, 2019. Return on Net Worth
(RONW) for the year 2019-20 was lower at 14.8%,
compared to 15.3% in the previous year. RONW for the
current year has been adversely affected by Covid impact
and provisions in financial services business.
Liquidity & Gearing
Cash flow from operations (excluding change in loans
and advances towards financing activities) decreased to
R 6687 crore as compared to R 9100 crore in the previous
year due to delay in customer collections, impacted by
fund constraints with Government and Public Sector
clients. Borrowings increased by R 13874 crore to sustain
higher level of operations and increased working capital
requirements in a liquidity-constrained environment.
During the year, borrowing was supplemented by
additional funds generated from divestment of stake in
subsidiary companies, profit on sale of investment and
treasury income.
Funds were used mainly for purchase of stake in Mindtree
Limited. Further, the Group incurred capital expenditure
of R 3299 crore (including capex for full operationalisation
of Hyderabad Metro Rail concession). Funds were also
utilized for payment of final dividend for FY 2018-19
R 2526 crore, towards interim dividend of R 1404 crore for
FY 2019-20 and DDT R 621 crore. The cash outflow also
included net interest expense of R 2903 crore during the
year FY 2019-20.
Consequently, there was a net increase of R 4809 crore in
the cash balances as at March 31, 2020 as compared to
the beginning of the year.

The total borrowings as at March 31, 2020 stood at
R 141007 crore as compared to R 125555 crore as at

entity to support the increasing business volumes,
increase in borrowings of Financial Services and higher
debt availed to complete operationalization of the
Hyderabad Metro Rail concession. The gross debt:equity
ratio increased to 1.85:1 as at March 31, 2020 from

The Infrastructure segment won orders worth
R 102678 crore, higher by 7.2% over the previous year,
mainly from Public Sector Undertakings. Large value
orders were bagged by Building & Factories, Power
Transmission & Distribution, Water Effluent Treatment
and Metallurgical and Material Handling businesses.
Investment by the Maharashtra State Government in the
affordable housing segment and by private sector players
in the airport and health segments boosted the order
inflow momentum of the Buildings & Factories business
vertical. Heavy Civil Infrastructure registered growth
with receipt of orders in Hydel and Tunnel business, the
Power Transmission & Distribution business recorded
growth on receipt of key international orders, while the
Metallurgical and Material Handling business registered
significant growth with the receipt of a large value Gold
beneficiation plant order and railway freight facility
package in the MENA region.
The order inflow momentum was maintained in the Smart
World & Communication business with the receipt of an
order for an army network management system from
the Indian Army and in the Water Effluent & Treatment
business with order wins in the water supply and
distribution segment.
De-growth was registered in the Transportation
Infrastructure business due to deferral of some large value
award decisions.
The share of international order inflow for the
Infrastructure segment increased to 29%, from 16% in
previous year. The Middle East region contributed 65% of
the international order inflow. Lower contribution from
South East Asian countries was compensated by a higher
proportion of orders from African countries, reflecting

Infrastructure segment clocked gross revenue of
R 73777 crore for the year 2019-20 registering a nominal
growth of around 1% over the previous year. Revenue
was impacted due to lack of progress in jobs in Andhra
Pradesh with the stand taken by new state government
to reassess new awards, execution challenges in some
projects viz. obtaining approvals, securing Right of
Way, rationalisation of fund allocation in certain states,
and stay on execution due to litigations concerning
environmental clearances. The sharp deceleration in
execution in the last few weeks of the year on account of
the pandemic and consequent regulatory clampdown on
business activities also impacted revenue growth for the
year as a whole.
Revenue from international operations constituted 24%
of the total revenues of the segment during the year
as compared to 26% in the previous year with some
large value orders in the opening Order Book nearing
completion, especially in Heavy Civil Infrastructure.
Infrastructure Segment earned operating profit of
R 5912 crore. There was a decline in margins from 8.5%
to 8.1% due to cost and time overruns in certain projects
in Transportation Infrastructure and Buildings & Factories
business. The decline was also due to the margin impact
caused by Covid-19 led slowdown / lockdown in March
2020 and lower margin earned during the year in Heavy
Civil Infrastructure business partially offset by realization
of claims in Transportation Infrastructure and Water &
Effluent Treatment business.
The Funds employed by the segment at R 28279 crore as
at March 31, 2020 registered a sharp increase of 18.1%
vis-à-vis March 31, 2019, mainly due to stalled projects
and fund allocation issues in certain State Government
contracts. The funds employed were also impacted by the
mandated stoppage of business activity / lockdown in the
last 2 weeks of the financial year, a period that is usually
characterized by a high level of customer collections.

The Power segment order inflow registered a substantial
growth by bagging orders worth R 12048 crore as
compared to R 2919 crore in the previous year. The
segment received a large domestic order for an ultra-
supercritical thermal power project, an order for a
comprehensive Boiler Island package by L&T–MHPS Boiler
JV, consolidated for L&T share, and several Flue Gas
Desulphurisation projects following the mandate from
Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change
to install emission control equipment in a timebound
manner.

Despite the surge in order inflow, the Power segment’s
revenue declined y-o-y by 41.8% to R 2318 crore, since
the new orders are yet to pick up execution momentum,
as well as tapering of execution in coal-based projects
nearing completion. Composition of revenue from
international projects decreased to 17% of total revenue
for the segment, from 35% in previous year due to
diminishing revenue contribution from a Bangladesh
gas-fired power project nearing completion in 2019-20.
Segment operating profit has improved from R 177 crore
in previous year to R 275 crore in FY 2019-20, with the
margin improving to 12% mainly due to reversal of
provision on receipt of favourable arbitration award.
The Funds employed by the segment stood at
R 1745 crore as at March 31, 2020 registering a growth
of 46.3% over the previous year due to delay in collection
of retention amount in jobs nearing completion and
higher carrying value of Investment in Joint Ventures
under Power Group, consolidated through equity method
under Ind AS.

The Heavy Engineering segment recorded an order inflow

lower by 41.7% as compared to the previous year
due to deferment of orders, coupled with the loss of
international orders on aggressive pricing from global
fabricators in a low-demand-cum-surplus-capacity
scenario. Share of orders from international business
decreased from 67% in the previous year to 57% in
FY 2019-20, largely attributable to reduced prospects of
Marine Pollution Control equipment.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
The segment’s gross revenue of R 3205 crore registered a
growth of 27.5% compared to the previous year on the
back of good progress in executing the Opening Order
Book of the refinery, oil and gas equipment business.
Revenue from international operations constituted 45%
of the total revenue for the segment.
The segment recorded an increase in the operating
profit for the year at R 612 crore. The margin, however
registered a decline from 24.5% to 21.5% due to
prudential provisions made in an international project,
partially offset by cost saving initiatives and a favourable
claim settlement.
Funds employed by the segment as on March 31, 2020
at R 2906 crore, registered an increase of 16.1% over the
previous year on higher working capital due to pending
milestone completion in some refinery projects.

The segment’s gross revenue of R 3979 crore improved
by 3.4% compared to the previous year. Growth was
mainly contributed by the brisk execution of a tracked
artillery gun order and partially offset by decline in
the Shipbuilding business. Revenue from international
operations was steady at 9% of the total revenue for the
segment.
The operating margin improved from 16.2% in the
previous year to 18.2% in FY 2019-20 due to cost
savings across multiple projects in the Defence &
Aerospace business and a favourable claim settlement in
Shipbuilding business.
Funds employed by the segment as on March 31, 2020
at R 3014 crore increased by 5.3% y-o-y, due to delay in

Segment revenue at R 17445 crore for the year grew by
15% y-o-y, enabled by peaking of execution activities
in key projects. The share of International revenue in
FY 2019-20 was lower at 43% of the total revenue of the
segment as compared to 53% in the previous year, with
closing stage progress of some large value international
orders in the opening Order Book.
The segment’s operating profit for the year improved to
R 1898 crore, with the margin increasing by 210 basis
points from 8.8% to 10.9%, reflecting operational /
execution efficiencies and claim settlements in a few
projects.
Funds employed by the segment as on March 31, 2020
at R 2880 crore increased by 35.3% as compared
to March 31, 2019, mainly due to the increase in
current outstanding from customers in a tight liquidity
environment.

The IT & TS segment comprises publicly listed companies
L&T Infotech Limited and its group of companies, L&T
Technology Services Limited and its group of companies,
and Mindtree Limited and its subsidiaries. The segment
recorded a gross revenue of R 22335 crore for the year
ended March 31, 2020, registering a growth of 53.5%
over the previous year, including R 5915 crore on account
of the Mindtree acquisition in FY 2019-20. Excluding
Mindtree, the growth would have been 13% on a like-to-
like basis. International revenue constitutes a steady 91%
of the total revenue of the segment. Like other businesses
within the Group, the IT&TS Segment was also initially
affected by the transition challenges of work-from-home /
lockdown situation that prevailed towards the end of the
year. The businesses have, however, quickly ramped up
the work-from-home business model on various projects
under execution during the lockdown period in line with
approvals obtained from customers. The end-customer
geographical segments in the US and Europe continue
to witness stress due the pandemic that has severely
impacted these geographies.
The Segment’s Operating Profit was at R 4635 crore for
the year 2019-20 as compared to R 3336 crore in the
previous year including a contribution of R 951 crore from
Mindtree. The Operating Margin declined by 230 basis
points, mainly on account of an increase in manpower
cost, coupled with a drop in utilization and donations to
the PM Cares fund set up for Covid-19 relief purposes.
The Funds employed by the segment as on
March 31, 2020 at R 19638 crore increased by 178%
compared to March 31, 2019 mainly due to investment in
goodwill and intangible assets of customer contracts on
acquisition of Mindtree Limited.
During the year, the Company divested 4.26% stake in
L&T Technology Services, towards meeting the regulatory
requirement of minimum public shareholding of 25%
within three years from listing of its shares. L&T’ s
shareholding in LTI and LTTS as on March 31, 2020 is
74.53% and 74.62% respectively.
7. Financial Services (FS) Segment
The Financial Services segment comprises Rural,
Infrastructure and Housing Finance and Asset
Management. The segment’s revenue grew by 9.4% y-o-y
at R 13822 crore for the year FY 2019-20 aided by growth
in the loan assets of ‘focused’ business lines.

Disbursal of fresh Loans and Advances in Infrastructure,
Real Estate, Micro Loans and Farm portfolio amounted to
R 37160 crore during the year ended March 31, 2020 – a
decline of 36% y-o-y in a year characterized by multiple
macroeconomic concerns that beset the financial
services sector at periodic intervals. The Loan Book
stood at R 98384 crore as at March 31, 2020, marginally
lower than the previous year. The Net Interest Margins
(including fee income) at 7.2% improved over 6.8% in
the previous year on the back of continued efforts to
improve asset quality and profitability of operations, aided
by the focus on increasing share of retail component in
the Loan Book.
This Segment was also adversely affected by the Covid-19
pandemic by way of abrupt stoppage of disbursements
at the year-end, extension of moratorium to customers
through RBI directives and introduction of additional
statutory provisioning requirements on account of such
moratorium.

the previous year, which included gains from divestment
of a container port business. The drop in revenue was
also contributed to by a lower Plant Load Factor (PLF) in
Nabha Power Ltd. on account of planned shutdown for
plant overhaul in Q4 FY 2019-20.
The segment clocked an operating profit of R 539 crore
for the year 2019-20, largely in line with the R 522 crore
earned in FY 2018-19, mainly on account of higher
contribution from Nabha Power and Hyderabad
Metro, partially offset by a non-recurring divestment
gain from sale of a Container Port business in the
previous year.

L&T achieved a revenue of R 82384 crore during
FY 2019-20 reflecting a flat growth over the previous
year, with several execution impediments and delayed
payment challenges from customers in various
Infrastructure projects.
The growth was further impacted due to a decline in
the Power segment’s revenue, since new orders are yet
to gain execution momentum, whilst existing coal-fired
power plant projects are nearing completion. The Realty
business revenues also declined, since the previous
year’s revenue included the sale of a major commercial
property and higher hand-over of residential flats. The
Defence Engineering segment registered growth, on
better progress achieved on execution of the artillery gun
project.
Manufacturing, Construction and Operating (MCO)
expenses, comprising cost of construction material, raw
materials, components and subcontracting expenses,
amounted to R 66882 crore, which is 81.2% of revenue,
similar to the previous year.
Staff expenses for the year at R 5956 crore increased
by 3.9% y-o-y mainly due to increase in manpower
count. Staff Cost as a percentage of revenue increased
marginally from 7% to 7.2%.
Sales and administration expenses for the year at
R 2707 crore increased by 32.2% y-o-y, mainly due to
higher Expected Credit Loss provisions on financial and
contract assets, impairment of investment and Donation
towards PM Cares Fund in Q4 FY 2019-20.
Profit before depreciation, interest and tax excluding
other income (PBDIT) was R 6838 crore for the year,
lower by 10.6% over the previous year. The 100 bps
drop in PBDIT at 8.3% of sales is mainly due to higher
ECL provisions and cost overruns in some projects in the
Infrastructure segment.
Depreciation and Amortization charge
Depreciation and amortization charge for the year
2019-20 marginally increased by 2.1% and was at
R 1021 crore, as compared to R 1000 crore in the previous
year, with additional depreciation of R 75 crore accounted
on implementation of new accounting standard on Leases
(Ind AS 116).
Other Income
Other income mainly comprises income from the
Company’s treasury operations, dividend and income
earning from Group companies. Other income for the
year 2019-20 at R 2808 crore, increased as compared to
R 2711 crore for the previous year mainly due to higher
earnings on larger treasury investments and dividend from
subsidiaries.
Finance cost
The interest expenses for the year FY 2019-20 at
R 2267 crore were higher by 26.8% vis-à-vis R 1788 crore
324
for the previous year. The increase is mainly attributable
to an increase of R 13,795 crore in borrowings as
at March 31, 2020 compared to borrowings as at
March 31, 2019, as well as a higher quantum of interest-
bearing customer advances. The average borrowing cost
for the year 2019-20 was at 7.4% p.a., lower from the
7.6% p.a. in the previous year.
Exceptional Items
Exceptional Items of R 610 crore (net of tax) for the year
2019-20 represents gain on dilution of stake in L&T
Technology Services, while the previous year included
gains on dilution of stake in L&T Infotech and L&T
Technology Services, as well as recovery of a receivable
amount under Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, partly
offset by impairment of some investments in JVs.

Profit after Tax (PAT), including exceptional items, for the
year 2019-20 at R 6679 crore, registered a decline of 11%
as compared to R 7491 crore in the previous year mainly
due to lower operating margin, higher interest expenses
and lower exceptional income.
The Company has opted for the lower tax rate under the
tax ordinance introduced during the year under review.
This has resulted in saving in current tax. The said saving
is partially offset by write down of opening Deferred
Tax Asset for revised rate and surrender of Minimum
Alternate Tax credit not being available under the new tax
ordinance.
The Basic Earnings per Share (EPS) from continuing
operations & discontinued operations for the year
2019-20 at R 47.59 has declined compared to R 53.43 in
the previous year.
Other Comprehensive Income (OCI)
Other Comprehensive income during the year reflected
a loss of R 519 crore, vis-à-vis loss of R 118 crore in the
previous year, mainly due to impact of fair valuation of
investments in Mindtree prior to acquiring controlling
stake.
Return on Net Worth
The Net Worth of the Company as on March 31, 2020
at R 52175 crore increased by R 2127 crore as compared
to March 31, 2019, reflecting mainly profit for the year,
reduced by the payment of interim dividend of R 10 per
paid up equity share in March ‘20.
Return on Net worth (RONW) including Exceptional Items
for the year 2019-20 at 13.1% is lower as compared to
15.7% in the previous year. The decline is largely due
to higher exceptional income in 2018-19, which mainly
included gains on dilution of stakes in LTI & LTTS.
Liquidity & Gearing
Borrowings increased during FY 2019-20 by R 13452
crore to sustain a higher level of operations, increase in
the working capital and for the acquisition of Mindtree
Limited. During the year, additional funds were generated
from liquidation of other investments, dividend income
R 1384 crore and Treasury income R 518 crore.
Besides the Mindtree acquisition and operations, the
funds were deployed for capex of R 1309 crore, payment
of dividend R 4159 crore comprising of final dividend of
R 2526 crore for FY 2018-19, Dividend Distribution Tax
of R 229 crore and interim dividend of R 1404 crore for
FY 2019-20 and net interest expense of R 1893 crore
during the year. There was a net increase of R 464 crore in
the cash balances as at March 31, 2020 as compared to
the beginning of the year.

III. STRATEGY, BUSINESS MODEL AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION
Strategy Formulation
Business strategy formulation seeks to set long-term goals and strategies that help the Company in exploiting its
strengths, identifying and realizing new opportunities and building new capabilities. This is enabled through three plans
with time horizons ranging from long-term (7-10 years) to medium-term (5 years) to short-term (annual). Each plan
dovetails into the next.
Last year, the Company had embarked on the development of a ‘Perspective Plan’, with a long-term view of 7-10 years.
The process started with the identification of emerging megatrends and potential disruptions in current businesses. This
was followed by a call for ideas for new businesses as well as adjacencies and growth areas, conducted through group-
wide exercises, large-scale interactive processes, brainstorming sessions and interactions with experts. Ideas were filtered
based on certain criteria. Some ideas went through a stage-gated assessment and a few were selected for pursuing
further. The exercise culminated in a future outlook for the Group along with seeding of potential new businesses in
Digital Platforms such as the B2B marketplace, skilling platform, etc. The insights garnered from the Perspective Plan
exercise, tweaked for the changed circumstances of the pandemic, would be used for creating the next 5-year strategic
plan.
The strategic plan, which runs for a period of 5 years, is developed through a collaborative and consultative process
across the organization. Formulating the plan involves a lookback analysis of performance against the previous plan,
scanning market opportunities, outlook on investment and identification of critical areas to be addressed. The outcomes
of the exercise are priorities for growth, key initiatives at business unit and corporate level, talent and leadership pipeline
plan, financial resources plan, and broad financial targets for each business. The ensuing year (2020-21) is the terminal
year of the current 5-year strategic plan, ‘Lakshya 21’. The Company would be undertaking the development of next
5-year strategic plan ‘Lakshya 26’, which would lay down the strategic guideposts for the Company from FY 22 to
FY 26. Changes in various industry segments as well as new areas of business, after considering the impact of the recent
Covid-19 pandemic, would get factored into ‘Lakshya 26’. The Strategic Plan usually gets to be reviewed after, say, three
years for mid-course correction, if any.
While the 5-year business outlook and broad financial goals are embedded as an overarching strategic plan, the annual
operating plan is formulated before the commencement of every financial year. This helps provide flexibility in tailoring
annual operating and financial budgets to changing circumstances while keeping the 5-year strategic plan in view.

Portfolio Strategy
The portfolio strategy aims to de-risk the revenue while improving profitability in the pursuit of growth. This strategy
focuses on:
• Complementing the mature businesses with growth-stage businesses, with a focus on asset-light, capex-light and
high-margin businesses. The Group is also trying to reduce exposure to asset-heavy businesses. Businesses requiring
periodic capital infusion such as Financial Services will be reassessed from time to time in the context of emerging
strategic significance.
• Well-balanced and geographically diversified businesses across domestic and international markets. Over 35% of
the business comes from international markets (primarily the Americas, Middle East & Africa and Europe). To further
de-risk the geographical concentration and pursue new growth opportunities, the focus on few more high-potential
countries in Africa and ASEAN region will be enhanced.
•
•
Balancing the cyclical nature of the EPC business through a portfolio of manufacturing and services businesses. The
‘Services’ businesses contribute over 25% of the Group’s revenues. With the aim of better profitability and a stable
revenue profile, the Group intends to step up the proportion of services business while factoring the growth in the
traditional EPC and manufacturing businesses. The acquisition of Mindtree Limited was a step in this direction.
Supplementing the standalone offerings with partnerships: For the EPC and manufacturing businesses, the
Company has partnered with several large global process and technology licensors, and for the IT and Technology
Services businesses, the group has extensive partnerships with established global software product and technology
companies. These engagements enable the group to offer a bouquet of value-added services to customers in
different businesses.
Businesses and offerings are closely linked to global megatrends and the Company continues to build on these to
address future challenges.

330
IV. RISk MANAGEMENT
The Company has an institutionalised Enterprise Risk Management framework, which is continuously reviewed and
benchmarked with industry best practices. The Audit Committee and the Risk Management Committee are two Board
committees that oversee the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management framework and processes. Each
business vertical has in place policies, structures and procedures to cater to the unique nature of its business aligned
within the overall Enterprise Risk Management framework.
During the year, an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system for digitalizing the risk management processes for
business operations was developed and implemented. This system enables monitoring risks across projects in various
geographies of operation, provides aggregate risk-weighted portfolio views of businesses and shares learnings across the
organization, etc. An integrated Knowledge Centre portal has also been developed and provides access to information
on risks emerging from economic factors, geo-political happenings, financial markets, etc. It also provides a platform for
assessment of counter-party risks and feeds useful updates to enable informed, fact-based decision-making.
The Company’s emphasis on continuous learning has led to the creation of several programmes for improving the
risk awareness across the organization. These include workshops, knowledge sessions, embedded risk management
modules in project management / leadership development programmes and training content deployed on online learning
platforms.
Once again in FY 2019-20 the Company has won CNBC TV18’s prestigious ‘Firm of the Year Trophy - 2019’ for best Risk
Management practices for Frameworks and Systems in two categories – Conglomerate and Technology.
The top enterprise-wide risks for the Company and their mitigation measures are summarized below:
Risk Description
Mitigation
Pandemic
Covid-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health
Organization in March 2020, posed a risk to health and
safety. It also has had various implications on businesses in
terms of slowdown of new orders, delays in execution of
existing orders and supply disruptions.
Geopolitical Risks
Over the last few years, risk on account of sanctions, trade
barriers, protectionist policies and geopolitical conflicts
have increased.
A task force comprising members from leadership and
Risk Management was formed to assess and develop
suitable mitigation strategies to address the impact of the
pandemic. The Company is following all the lockdown
restrictions imposed by the Government of India.
Construction sites were closed and Work From Home for
employees was enabled with appropriate data security
controls. Standard Operating Procedures including safety
precautions and social distancing norms were prepared in
order to resume operations once the lockdown restrictions
are progressively lifted. To mitigate the risk of supply
disruptions, alternative procurement strategies have
been considered. The Company is also exploring various
contractual remedies to deal with the situation. The above
steps taken along with other measures, will help the
organization to be resilient and help weather any major
shocks.
Appropriate mitigation strategies are in place for
addressing geographical concentration, strategic sourcing
options, regular monitoring of international sanctions
and realignment with international partners based on the
geopolitical situation.
331
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Risk Description
Mitigation
Slowdown in economy
There has been a slowdown in various sectors like
infrastructure, hydrocarbon, power, defence, metals &
minerals, realty, etc., on account of several factors, such as
budgetary allocation, funding issues, decline in oil prices,
slow pace of decision-making, lack of investment demand,
green initiatives and delays in environmental clearances.
Due to Covid-19 there will be further stress on the
resources available with central and state governments.
Terms of Trade
Over the years, terms of trade have become more
restrictive and stringent both in terms of aggressive
timelines as well as contract clauses such as payment
terms, etc.
Competition
Due to the overall slowdown and limited opportunities,
there has been aggressive bidding from various foreign
and domestic players in the past few years.
Reputation and Brand
The Company has a presence across sectors in various
geographies, and the size and scale of projects being
prospected / executed is of increasing magnitude and
high visibility, hence maintaining its reputation / brand is
paramount.
Cyber Security
As IT systems get increasingly interconnected and with
implementation of various digitalisation initiatives, cyber
security has become a key concern for Governments and
businesses.
332
Being a diversified conglomerate has helped mitigate the
risk of such a slowdown in some specific sectors, which is
compensated by growth in certain other sectors like water,
airport construction, renewable energy, metro network,
health infrastructure etc. The Company will continue to
seek opportunities and take appropriate measures to
offset the impact of the slowdown and the pandemic. The
Company is also analysing various sectors to identify areas
of growth and reallocate resources accordingly.
Various mitigation strategies are undertaken by the
Company, such as negotiating with the customer for
equitable terms with better value offerings. The Company
also enters into back-to-back arrangements with vendors
and sub-contractors.
The Company’s competitive strength is derived from its
engineering expertise, excellence in executing projects,
particularly the large and complex ones, reputation
for quality, usage of technology, project management
expertise and strong resource base, including the Balance
Sheet strength. The Company has also taken various
initiatives, such as digitalisation and cost-optimisation via
value engineering, and this has helped to win new orders.
The Company addresses the potential risk of erosion of
reputation and brand value through a strong corporate
governance framework and delivering projects on time
and in conformity with contracted quality of deliverables.
It has a Compliance Policy in place, mandating
adherence to a Code of Conduct and Internal Controls,
complemented by regular knowledge-sharing of best
practices across the organisation and mechanisms to track
various social media platforms.
The Company’s Corporate Brand Management &
Communications department also protects and bolsters
the brand in Indian and international markets through a
wide range of online and offline media.
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 detective and preventive controls and
employee education to create awareness of cyber risks.
Risk Description
Mitigation
Execution Challenges
The Company faces execution challenges like
unanticipated geological conditions, availability of work
front, land acquisition and Right-of-Way (ROW), delay
in approvals and clearances from Government agencies,
working in difficult/harsh weather conditions, manpower
issues, etc.
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.
Working capital challenges
Project delays and adverse contractual payment terms lead
to increased working capital requirements.
Claims Management
The EPC business has an inherent risk of timely and
acceptable settlement of claims due to dependency on
various stakeholders for approval and clearances.
The Company closely tracks the key risks for each project
to ensure timely mitigation with proper escalation and
resolution mechanism as required.
Learnings from 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. On a periodic basis the Company carries
out a financial assessment of its key counter parties and
appropriate measures are adopted based on the outcome
of the analysis.
Guidelines have been issued to monitor and manage
working capital, both at the project level as well as
the business level. The Company also deploys specific
cashflow management strategies at both client and
vendor level, to mitigate working capital challenges on a
case-to-case basis.
The Company maintains a strong documentation and
follow-up protocol with various stakeholders for any
claim management and to ensure timely and equitable
settlement of such claims. Documentation in relation to
Covid-19 / force majeure is being reviewed on a project-
to-project basis and is being suitably taken up with all
stakeholders.
FINANCIAL RISkS
Inflation in India remained benign in the first half of
FY 2019-20 but picked up sharply in the second half
mainly due to the rise in food prices driven by supply
concerns. Further economic growth remained a challenge
amidst follow-on concerns on domestic credit growth,
corporate deleveraging cycle and lack of pick-up in
private consumption. The US Dollar remained strong
in FY 2019-20, primarily on the back of strong growth
divergence between the US and rest of the world
including emerging market countries. Slowdown in
manufacturing gripped countries from Europe to China
and various emerging markets in the first half of the
year 19-20. During the second half of the year, risks
pertaining to Trade War and Brexit temporarily abated.
Liquidity infusion by Central banks and Corporate Tax
cuts provided thrust to various asset classes. The Indian
currency depreciated accordingly but less so due to
better fundamentals compared to other emerging market
economies.
The last quarter of FY 2019-20 witnessed elevated
financial market volatility, primarily due to the emergence
of the Covid-19 pandemic, thereby halting economic
activity across the globe. Lockdown and closure of
customer offices, non-completion of certification
inspections and the Company’s inability to generate
invoicing resulted in significant amount of collections not
being realized within the financial year. This has led to
a sharp increase in working capital levels in the current
year, which, for the last 3 years had been on a targeted
improvement path. The Company believes that this is a
temporary setback and hopes to pull back working capital
levels in the next year or two.
333
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
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 provided the Company the required
flexibility for fundraising at short notice to deal with the
sudden worsening of the working capital due to the
lockdown and also build up a liquidity buffer as the year
FY 2019-20 ended.
The Company has been investing capital into subsidiaries
as scheduled and also to optimise overall Group interest
costs. The Company also completed the acquisition of
shares of Mindtree Limited from a few of the existing
shareholders of Mindtree and the Open Offer, which
evidenced an overwhelming subscription resulting in
acquisition of over 60% stake in Mindtree Limited.
Despite the lower liquidity environment in FY 2019-20
on the back of risk aversion (post defaults by some large
AAA-rated entities in the NBFC sector) by both retail and
institutional investors, slower consumer demand and the
sluggishness around investments in the private sector as
well as disruption caused due to the Covid-19 outbreak,
the Company managed to meet its fund requirements and
also managed to add to the cash and cash equivalents of
the Company from R 7588 crore at the end of December
31, 2019 to R 9998 crore at March 31, 2020.
The Company plans to maintain adequate liquidity on
the Balance Sheet to deal with the ongoing Covid-19
crisis and 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 versus 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 surplus funds
in short-term investments in line with the Corporate
Treasury policy. It 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.
Given the extra liquidity buffer planned to be kept on the
balance sheet due to the Covid-19 situation, both the
debt and investments on the balance sheet are likely to
remain elevated in FY 2020-21. The Company dynamically
manages interest rate risks through a mix of fund-raising
products, investment products and derivative products
across maturity profiles and currencies within a robust risk
management framework.
Foreign Exchange and Commodity Price Risks
The 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 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 separately on page 335 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 that financial costs
remain under control.
V. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Company maintains a robust framework of internal
controls sized appropriately with the nature of business,
size of operations, geographical spread and changing risk
complexity, which are impacted by varying internal and
external factors. This framework forms the building blocks
of a strong corporate culture of good governance.
The Company has aligned its internal financial controls
with the requirements of Companies Act, 2013 and the
globally accepted framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway
Commission that operates at both entity and process
levels. The internal controls systems and activities at L&T
cover the operational controls in the business processes
besides the requirement of Internal Controls over
Financial Reporting (ICoFR).
The internal controls are designed to provide reasonable
assurance on recording of transactions and providing
334
reliable financial and operational information. The
Company has well documented policies, procedures
and authorization guidelines commensurate with the
level of responsibility, besides standard operating
procedures specific to respective businesses. This ensures
the propriety of transactions and authorisations at an
appropriate level of management.
The Corporate Policy on internal controls sets the tone at
the top and serves as the foundation for sound internal
controls. The internal control teams at corporate and
business levels assist the executive management, who are
responsible for establishing, operating and upgrading the
internal controls system. The Corporate team reviews and
assesses the processes, formulates the policies, guidance
notes and advisories. It also shares best practices across
the organisation.
The effectiveness of internal controls is tested by
Statutory Auditors as well as by the Corporate Audit
Services team. The Corporate Audit Services department
develops an audit plan for the Company, which covers
core business operations, corporate departments as
well as support functions. The Audit Committee of the
Board reviews the annual internal audit plan. Significant
audit observations from the independent internal audits
conducted by Corporate Audit Services are presented
quarterly to the Audit Committee along with the status
of the management actions and the progress of the
implementation of recommended remedial measures.
The Corporate Governance is strengthened by a
‘Code of Conduct’ applicable to the employees and
implementation of a separate ‘Code of Conduct’ for
Business Partners, which reinforces ethical behaviour
by aligning them to the unique corporate culture and
values of the Company. The whistle-blower mechanism
forms another integral component of the internal control
system, which is overseen by the Audit Committee. It is
available to both employees and business partners, to
enable them to raise genuine concerns about any actual
or suspected ethical / legal violations or misconduct or
fraud, with adequate safeguards against victimisation,
fear of punishment or unfair treatment. The Company
also has an institutionalised mechanism of dealing with
complaints of sexual harassment through a formal
committee constituted in line with the Company’s Policy
on ‘Protection of Women’s Rights at Workplace’ under
relevant statutory guidelines. This policy has been widely
disseminated across the Company and all complaints are
addressed in a time bound manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF LARSEN & TOUBRO LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Larsen & Toubro Limited (the “Company”), which comprise
the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2020, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement
of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information, which includes 31 joint operations accounted on proportionate basis and an amalgamated entity.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of
report of the other auditor on separate financial statements of the joint operation referred to in the Other Matters section below, the
aforesaid standalone 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 the 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 Company as at 31 March 2020, and its profit ,total comprehensive income, its cash flows
and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (“SA”s). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit
of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Company 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 Act 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 by us and the audit evidence obtained by the
other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to Note 1(i)(iii) of the standalone financial statement in which the Company describes the uncertainties arising from
the COVID 19 pandemic. Our report is not modified in respect of this matter.
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
As described in Note No. 1(ii)(e) of the standalone financial statements, the Company recognises revenue
from contracts with customers when it satisfies its performance obligations.
Accounting for construction contracts is considered as a Key Audit Matter as there are significant accounting
judgements in estimating revenue to be recognised on contracts with customers, including estimation of
costs to complete and determining the timing of revenue recognition.
337
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Revenue recognition – accounting for construction contracts
Principal Audit
Procedures
The Company recognises revenue and profit/loss based on 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 is thus dependent on estimates in relation to total estimated costs of
each contract.
Cost contingencies are included in these estimates to take in to 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.
The revenue on contracts may also include variable consideration (variations and claims). Variable
consideration is recognised when the probability of reversal of such revenue is low.
Further, Refer to Note No. 41 for the disclosures made in the Standalone Financial Statements as per IND AS
115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’.
The procedures performed included the following:
•
•
•
•
•
obtained an understanding of the process followed by the Company in determination of the estimates
and contract revenue;
performed walkthrough procedures over the process of identification of performance obligation;
tested the design and implementation of internal control over the quantification of the estimates used
as well as the operating effectiveness of such control;
tested segregation of duties while recording the contracts in the Company’s information system and
recognising revenue from such contracts;
tested the General IT Controls over 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 Ind AS 115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers;
•
tested sample of contracts for:
-
-
-
-
appropriate identification of performance obligations;
change orders and the impact on the estimated costs to complete;
evaluation of reasonability of estimates of costs to complete ; and
tested the appropriateness of the timing of recognizing the revenue from the contracts;
•
•
tested the appropriateness of the variable considerations recognized based on the low probability of
reversal of such revenue; and
tested appropriateness of the disclosures in the financial statements in respect of such construction
contracts to ensure compliance with Ind AS 115.
Measurement of contract assets in respect of overdue milestones and 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 be based on agreed unit price or lump-sum revenue 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 has 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.
Assessing the recoverability of contract assets related to overdue milestones and 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(ii)(e) and 1(ii)(m) of the
standalone financial statements.
338
Measurement of contract assets in respect of overdue milestones and receivables in respect of overdue invoices.
Principal Audit
Procedures
The procedures performed included the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
obtained an understanding of the Company’s processes in collating the evidence supporting execution
of work for each disaggregated type of revenue;
obtained an understanding of the Company’s processes in assessing the recoverability of amounts
overdue and process over estimating the expected credit loss allowance;
tested the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over the completeness and accuracy of
the key inputs and assumptions into the provisioning model;
evaluated controls over authorisation and calculation of provisioning model;
for defence contracts which are covered under statutory confidentiality arrangements, for sample of
contracts, 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;
evaluated the delivery and collection history of customers against whose contracts un-invoiced revenue
is recognised;
verified for the sample selected, receipts post balance sheet date upto the approval of the financial
statements by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company;
performed an overall assessment of the expected credit loss provision to determine if they were
reasonable considering the Company’s portfolio, risk profile, credit risk management practices and the
macroeconomic environment; and
tested the appropriateness of the disclosures in the financial statements to ensure compliance with Ind
AS 115.
Assessment of the carrying value of unquoted equity instrument and debt instrument in loss making joint ventures.
Key audit matter
description
As described in Note No. 1(ii)(j) for Impairment of assets in the standalone financial statements, as at the end
of each financial year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its investments joint venture company
to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
Further, refer to Note 1(ii)(m)(B) under Financial instruments in the Standalone Financial Statements for the
Company’s policy for impairment assessment of Debt Instruments.
The impairment review of unquoted equity instrument and debt with a carrying value of R 1342 crore,
is considered to be a risk area due to the size of the balance as well as the judgmental nature of key
assumptions, which may be subject to management override.
The carrying value of such unquoted equity instrument and debt is at risk of recoverability. The net worth of
the underlying entity has significantly eroded and the orders in hand are below the break-even production
levels of these facilities. The estimated recoverable amount is subjective due to the inherent uncertainty
involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows.
How the scope of our
audit responded to the
key audit matter
Besides obtaining an understanding of Management’s processes and controls with regard to testing of
impairment of the unquoted equity and debt instruments in such financially stressed joint venture.

•
•
•
•

the management controls over completeness and accuracy of the data.
Engaged internal fair valuation experts to challenge management’s underlying assumptions and
appropriateness of the valuation model used.

long-term growth rates and discount rates to relevant market information.

understanding of the business, sector experience and impact due to COVID-19, if any.
Considered historical forecasting accuracy, by comparing previously forecasted cash flows to actual
results achieved.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Physical verification of inventory
Key audit matter
description
Principal Audit
Procedures
The Company’s management conducts physical verification of inventories during the year at reasonable
intervals, however, on account of the COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions, management was able
to perform year end physical verification of inventories, only at certain locations. Management has
carried out other procedures to validate the existence of its inventory as at the year-end, such as carrying
out consumption analysis, and performing roll-back procedures from the subsequent year end physical
verification date to determine the quantities of the inventory at the balance sheet date.
Refer Note No. 1(ii)(n) of the standalone financial statements.
The procedures performed included the following:
•
•
•
•
Understood the process and tested the management’s internal controls to establish the existence of
inventory in relation to the process of periodic physical verification carried out by the management, the
scope and coverage of the periodic verification programme, the results of such verification including
analysis of discrepancies, if any;
At selected locations subsequent to year-end, where the management appointed third party
independent chartered accountants to perform physical verification, sent instructions to the third party
chartered accountants to carry out the physical verification and provided samples to be verified by
them. We have received the report of the physical verification carried out by the third party independent
chartered accountants. Obtained the roll back procedures performed by the management from the
subsequent year-end physical verification date to arrive at the quantities as at the balance sheet date.
Traced the samples physically verified by the third party independent chartered accountants roll back
workings provided by the management.
Inspected, for samples selected, supporting documentation relating to purchases and consumption, and
such other third party evidences where applicable.
Tested the analytical reviews performed by the Company such as consumption analysis.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
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 including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for
safeguarding the assets of the Company 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 statement that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
340
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 scepticism 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 system 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 the 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 the Company’s
ability 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 standalone 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 financial statements of such entities included in the standalone financial statements of which we are the independent
auditors. For the other entities included in the standalone financial statements, which have been audited by the other auditors,
such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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.
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.
341
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the standalone 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
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”)
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Larsen and Toubro Limited (the “Company”) as of March
31, 2020 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date
which includes internal financial controls over financial reporting of one of the Company’s 31 joint operations which is a company
incorporated in India.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control
over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were
operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to respective company’s policies,
the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company and its
joint operations company incorporated in India, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an
audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend
on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditor of the joint operations
which is a company incorporated in India, in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance

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.

NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Statement of compliance
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and
the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and
amendments thereof issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs in exercise of the powers conferred by section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013. In addition, the guidance notes/announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are also
applied except where compliance with other statutory promulgations require a different treatment. These financial statements have
been approved for issue by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on June 5, 2020.
(b) Basis of accounting
The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities
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, Statement of Profit and Loss and Statement of Changes in Equity 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.

NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
(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 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.
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 Statement of
Profit and 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 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 Company 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.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
B.
Revenue from construction/project related activity is recognised as follows:
1. 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.
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 recognised in the Statement of
Profit and 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 Company 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 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.
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.

NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
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 of 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. All directly attributable costs related to the acquisition of PPE and borrowing costs
in case of qualifying assets 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.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably.
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.
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.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
PPE is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss
arising on derecognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period.
(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 and borrowing cost capitalised for qualifying assets, in
accordance with the Company’s accounting policy.

NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
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.
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
B.
the Company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
C.
the Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
D.
E.
F.
the manner in which the probable future economic benefits will be generated including the existence of a market for
output of the intangible asset or intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of intangible assets;
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
intangible asset; and
the 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 a prospective
basis.
Amortisation on impaired assets is provided by adjusting the amortisation charge in the remaining periods so as to allocate the
asset’s revised carrying amount over its remaining useful life.
(j)
Impairment of assets
As at the end of each accounting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE, investment property, intangible
assets and investments in subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies to determine whether there is any indication that those
assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, PPE, investment property, 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.
362
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
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, which may vary based on the future performance of the Company 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 been 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, cost of bonus, ex-gratia and performance-
linked rewards falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits
and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
(ii) Post-employment benefits:
A. Defined contribution plans: The Company’s superannuation scheme, state governed provident fund scheme, employee
state insurance scheme and employee pension scheme are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable
under the schemes is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service.
B. Defined benefit plans: The employees’ gratuity fund schemes and employee provident fund schemes managed by board
of trustees established by the Company, the post-retirement medical care plan and the Company pension plan represent
defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial
valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate based on the
market yield on government securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the
defined benefit obligations at the Balance Sheet date.
Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in
net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset) and any change in the effect of asset ceiling (if applicable) is
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and is reflected in Retained earnings and the same is not eligible to be
reclassified to Profit or Loss.
Defined benefit costs comprising current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on settlements are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefits expense. Interest cost implicit in defined benefit employee cost
is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under finance cost. Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit
plan are recognised when the settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense at the earlier of the plan
amendment or curtailment and when the Company recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.
In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit
plans to recognise the obligation on a net basis.
363

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
(iii) Long-term employee benefits:
The obligation recognised in respect of long-term benefits such as compensated absences, long service award etc. is
measured at present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Company and is recognised in a similar
manner as in the case of defined benefit plans vide (ii)(B) supra.
Long-term employee benefit costs comprising current service cost and gains or losses on curtailments and settlements,
re-measurements including actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit
expenses. Interest cost implicit in long-term employee benefit cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under
finance cost.
(iv) Termination benefits:
Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised as expense when the
Company’s offer of the termination benefit is accepted or when the Company recognises the related restructuring costs
whichever is earlier.
(l) Leases
Leases are accounted as per Ind AS 116 which has become mandatory from April 1, 2019.
Assets taken on lease are accounted as right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liability is accounted at the lease
commencement date.
Initially the right-of-use asset is measured at cost which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle
and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives
received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental
borrowing rate. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, or
a change in the estimate of the guaranteed residual value, or a change in the assessment of purchase, extension or termination
option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-
of-use asset, or is recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to
zero.
The right-of-use asset is measured by applying cost model i.e. right-of-use asset at cost less accumulated depreciation and
cumulative impairment, if any. The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date
to the end of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset whichever is earlier. Carrying amount of lease liability is increased
by interest on lease liability and reduced by lease payments made.
Lease payments associated with following leases are recognised as expense on straight-line basis:
(i)
Low value leases; and
(ii)
Leases which are short-term.
Assets given on lease are classified either as operating lease or as finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Initially asset held under finance lease is
recognised in balance sheet and presented as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Finance income
is recognised over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on Company’s net investment in
the lease. A lease which is not classified as a finance lease is an operating lease.
The Company recognises lease payments in case of assets given on operating leases as income on a straight-line basis. The
Company presents underlying assets subject to operating lease in its balance sheet under the respective class of asset.
(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
364
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
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.
2.
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.
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.
7.
Trade receivables, security deposits, cash and cash equivalents, employee and other advances – at amortised cost
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.
365
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
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. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12-month expected
credit losses or at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased
significantly 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 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.
366
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it
no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated
in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in Profit
or Loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised
immediately in Profit or Loss.
(iv) Compound financial instruments issued by the Company which can be converted into fixed number of equity shares at the
option of the holders irrespective of changes in the fair value of the instrument are accounted by separately recognising the
liability and the equity components. The liability component is initially recognised at the fair value of a comparable liability
that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognised at the difference between
the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. The directly
attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and the equity components in proportion to their initial carrying
amounts. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of the compound financial instrument is measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not
remeasured subsequently.
(n)
Inventories
Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:
(i)
Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of weighted average cost or net
realisable value. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products in which they will be
used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.
(ii) Manufacturing work-in-progress at lower of weighted average cost including related overheads or net realisable value. In
some cases, manufacturing work-in-progress are valued at lower of specifically identifiable cost or net realisable value. In the
case of qualifying assets, cost also includes applicable borrowing costs vide policy relating to borrowing costs.
(iii) Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of weighted average cost or net
realisable value. Cost includes costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location. Taxes which are subsequently recoverable from taxation authorities are not included in the cost.
(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 cash equivalents.
(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 lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to
367
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
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 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 the Statement of Profit and 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, liability, expense or income.
(iv) Financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currency is different than Indian Rupee are translated into Indian
Rupee 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.
368
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
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 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.
ix) 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.
x)
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.
(u) Taxes on income
Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with
the provisions of the Income Tax Act,1961 and based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit and quantified using the tax rates as
per 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”/other temporary
differences 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.

NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
The Company uses estimates and judgements based on the relevant rulings in the areas of allowances and disallowances which are
exercised while determining the provision for income tax.
(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) Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for sale
Discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and represents a
major line of business.
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
370
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](ii)
Significant Accounting Policies (contd.)
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sale of such asset (or disposal group) and the sale is highly
probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less
costs to sell.
(z) Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flow from
operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the profit before tax excluding exceptional items for the effects of:
(i)
changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables, transactions of a non-cash nature;
(ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses; and
(iii) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Cash and cash equivalents (including bank balances) shown in the Statement of Cash Flows exclude items which are not available
for general use as at the date of Balance Sheet.
(aa) Key sources of estimation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires that the management of the Company makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the reported balances of assets and
liabilities and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The estimates and
underlying assumptions made by management have been explained under respective policies and 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 the actual results and estimates is recognised in the
period in which the results are known.
(ab) Business Combination
Common control business combination where the Company is transferee is accounted using the pooling of interest method. Assets
and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts and no new asset or liability is recognised. Identity
of reserves of the transferor company is preserved by reflecting them in the same form in the Company’s financial statements in
which they appeared in the financial statement of the transferor company. The excess between the amount of consideration paid
over the share capital of the transferor company is recognised as a negative amount and the same is disclosed as capital reserve on
business combination.
The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods is restated from the beginning of the preceding
period in the financial statements if the business combination date is prior to that date. However, if business combination date is
after that date, the financial information in the financial statements is restated from the date of business combination.
NOTE [1](iii)
The Company has assessed the impact of COVID-19 on its financial statements based on the internal and external information upto the
date of approval of these financial statements and expects to recover the carrying amounts of its investments, intangible assets, trade
receivable, project work-in-progress and inventories. The Company will continue to monitor the future economic conditions and update
its assessment.

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 103.05 crore (previous year: R 60.97 crore) towards its gratuity plan and R 79.24 crore
(previous year: R 73.88 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2020-21.

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 included
amounts payable in respect of the Company’s foreign operations which result in gratuity payable to employees engaged
as per local laws of country of operation.
2
Post-retirement medical care plan:
The Post-retirement medical benefit plan provides for reimbursement of health care costs to certain categories of
employees post their retirement. The reimbursement is subject to an overall ceiling sanctioned based on cadre of the
employee at the time of retirement. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.

Company’s pension plan:
In addition to contribution to state-managed pension plan (EPS scheme), the Company operates a post retirement
pension scheme, which is discretionary in nature for certain cadres of employees. The quantum of pension depends on
the cadre of the employee at the time of retirement. The plan is unfunded. Employees do not contribute to the plan.
4
Trust managed provident fund plan:
The Company manages provident fund plan through a provident fund trust for its employees which is permitted under
The Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan mandates contribution by employer
at a fixed percentage of employee’s salary. Employees also contribute to the plan at a fixed percentage of their salary
as a minimum contribution and additional sums at their discretion. The plan guarantees interest at the rate notified by
Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. The contribution by employer and employee together with interest are payable
at the time of separation from service or retirement whichever is earlier. The benefit under this plan vests immediately on
rendering of service.
The interest payment obligation of trust-managed provident fund is assumed to be adequately covered by the interest
income on long-term investments of the fund. Any shortfall in the interest income over the interest obligation is
recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as actuarial loss. Any loss/gain arising out of the investment
risk and actuarial risk associated with the plan is also recognised as expense or income in the period in which such loss/
gain occurs.
All the above defined benefit plans expose the Company to general actuarial risks such as interest rate risk and market
(investment) risk.

Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [52]
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 given 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
Net exposure to foreign currency risk in respect of
recognised financial assets/(recognised financial liabilities)
Derivatives including embedded derivatives for hedging
receivable/(payable) exposure with respect to non-financial
assets/(liabilities)
Derivatives including embedded derivatives for hedging
receivable/(payable) exposure with respect to firm
commitments and highly probable transactions

contracts and embedded derivatives not designated as cash

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
444
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [52] (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 28.78 crore as at March 31, 2020 and R 29.88 crore as at March 31, 2019.
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, 2020 due to the inherent limitations associated with
predicting the timing and amount of changes in foreign currency exchange 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 derivative 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 is 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 on the value of the investment portfolio assuming a 0.5% movement 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 17.80 crore as at March 31, 2020 and +/- R 11.08 crore as at
March 31, 2019. A 5% change in the equity funds’ NAV would result in a value change of +/- R 3.90 crore as at March 31, 2020
and +/- R 38.91 crore as at March 31, 2019 respectively. The investments in money market funds are for the purpose of liquidity
management only 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 the
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:

(a) Transition to Ind AS 116:
(19.34)

(14.48)
6.41
(2.24)
4.17
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” (“Standard”) effective April 1, 2019 (Initial application date). Ind AS 116
supersedes Ind AS 17 “Leases”. The Standard sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure
of leases. The Standard has brought major change with respect to lease accounting to be done by the lessee. It requires lessee to
account for right-of-use asset and lease liability for all the leases without lease classifications into operating and finance lease.
The Company has used modified retrospective method of transition. Accordingly, the Company has recognised a debit of R 3.97
crore (the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard as an adjustment) to the opening balance of retained earnings at the
date of initial application. Accordingly, the figures of the previous year have not been restated.
The Company has availed of following practical expedients as provided by the Standard:
Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application are accounted in the same way as a
short-term lease.
The Company has not reassessed whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application and instead
applied the Standard to those contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.
The Company has excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial
application.

•
454
Notes forming part of the Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [54] (contd.)
For leases previously classified as operating leases under Ind AS 17 and which are not low value leases or short-term leases, the
Company has recognised:
•
•
a lease liability at present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using Company’s incremental borrowing rate of
7.93% at transition date.
a right-of-use asset at its carrying amount as if the Standard has been applied since the lease commencement date but
discounted using Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
For leases previously classified as finance leases under Ind AS 17, the carrying amount of lease asset and lease liability as at March
31, 2019 have been considered as right-of-use asset and lease liability respectively as at April 1, 2019 under Ind AS 116.
Reconciliation between operating lease commitments disclosed as per Ind AS 17 as at March 31, 2019 and lease liabilities
recognised in the balance sheet at the date of initial application i.e. April 1, 2019 is as follows:
Operating lease commitments under Ind AS 17 as at April 1, 2019
Less: Commitments pertaining to short-term leases
Less: Commitments pertaining to low value leases
Less: Impact of discounting of lease payments
Add: Extension and termination options reasonably certain to be exercised
Add: Commitments relating to leases previously classified as finance leases

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
LARSEN & TOUBRO LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the 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 35 joint operations of the Group accounted on
proportionate basis and the Group’s share of profit in its associates and joint ventures, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet
as at 31st March 2020, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration
of reports of the other auditors on separate financial information of the joint operations, subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
referred to in the Other Matters section below, 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 the 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 consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at 31st
March 2020, and their consolidated profit, their consolidated total comprehensive income, their consolidated cash flows and their
consolidated changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143 (10) of the Act (“SA”s). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit
of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group, its 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 Act 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 by us and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports
referred to in the Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated
financial statements.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note [1](III) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in which the Group describes the uncertainties arising from
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our report is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated

AUDITORS’ REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Revenue recognition – accounting for construction contracts
Key audit matter
description
As described in Note No. [1](II)(i) of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group recognises revenue
from contracts with customers when it satisfies its performance obligations.
Principal Audit
Procedures
Accounting for construction contracts is considered as a Key Audit Matter as there are significant accounting
judgements in estimating revenue to be recognised on contracts with customers, including estimation of
costs to complete and determining the timing of revenue recognition.
The Group recognises revenue and profit/loss based on 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 is thus dependent on estimates in relation to total estimated costs of
each contract.
Cost contingencies are included in these estimates to take in to 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 probability of reversal of such revenue is low.
Further, Refer to Note No. 47 for the disclosures made in the Consolidated Financial Statements as per
Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’.
The procedures performed included the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
obtained an understanding of the process followed by the Group in determination of the estimates and
contract revenue;
performed walkthrough procedures over the process of identification of performance obligation;
tested the design and implementation of internal control over the quantification of the estimates used
as well as the operating effectiveness of such control;
tested segregation of duties while recording the contracts in the Group’s information system and
recognising revenue from such contracts;
tested the General IT Controls over 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 Ind AS 115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers;
tested sample of contracts for:
-
-
-
-
appropriate identification of performance obligations;
change orders and the impact on the estimated costs to complete;
evaluation of reasonability of estimates of costs to complete; and
tested the appropriateness of the timing of recognizing the revenue from the contracts;
tested the appropriateness of the variable considerations recognised based on the low probability of
reversal of such revenue; and
tested appropriateness of the disclosures in the financial statements in respect of such construction
contracts to ensure compliance with Ind AS 115.
Measurement of contract assets in respect of overdue milestones and receivables in respect of overdue invoices.
Key audit matter
description
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 be based on agreed unit price or lump-sum revenue 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 has 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.
Assessing the recoverability of contract assets related to overdue milestones and 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](II)(i) and [1](II)(r) of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

the key inputs and assumptions into the provisioning model;
evaluated controls over authorisation and calculation of provisioning model;
for defence contracts which are covered under statutory confidentiality arrangements, for sample of
contracts, 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;
evaluated the delivery and collection history of customers against whose contracts un-invoiced revenue
is recognised;
verified for the sample selected, receipts post balance sheet date upto the approval of the financial
statements by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company;

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 on fixed
price contracts. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty as it requires consideration of progress of the
contract, efforts/cost incurred till date, efforts/cost required to complete the remaining contract performance
obligations.
Refer to Note No. [1](II)(i) of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Principal Audit
Procedures
The procedures performed by component auditors (being other firms of chartered accountants) included the

estimated variable consideration.
in respect of a sample of fixed price contracts, progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation
used to compute recorded revenue was verified with the efforts/cost recorded and estimated efforts/cost
from the corresponding information systems;
verified sample of contracts with unbilled revenues to identify possible delays in achieving milestones,
which require change in estimated efforts to complete the remaining performance obligations.

AUDITORS’ REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Provision for expected credit losses for financial services segment
Key audit matter
description
Significant judgement is used in classifying loan assets measured at amortised cost and applying appropriate
measurement principles. The allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on such loan assets, measured at
amortised cost, is a critical estimate involving greater level of management judgement.
As part of our risk assessment, we determined that the allowance for ECL on loan assets (including
undisbursed commitments) has a high degree of estimation uncertainty, with a potential range of reasonable
outcomes for the financial statements.
The elements in estimating ECL which involve increased level of audit focus are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
Qualitative and quantitative factors used in staging the loan assets measured at amortised cost;
Basis used for estimating Probabilities of Default (“PD”);
Basis used for estimating Loss Given Default (“LGD”);
Judgements used in projecting economic scenarios and probability weights applied to reflect future
economic conditions;
Adjustments to model driven ECL results to address emerging trends.
Refer Note No. [1](II)(r)(i)(D) of the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have examined the policies approved by the Board of Directors of the Company that articulate the
objectives of managing each portfolio and their business models (including policies for sale out of amortised
cost business model). We have also verified the methodology adopted for computation of ECL (“ECL Model”)
that addresses policies approved by the Board of Directors, procedures and controls for assessing and
measuring credit risk on all lending exposures measured at amortised cost.
Additionally, we have confirmed that adjustments to the output of the ECL Model is consistent with the
documented rationale and basis for such adjustments and that the amount of adjustment has been approved
by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Our audit procedures related to the allowance for ECL included the following, among others:
•
Tested the design and effectiveness of internal controls over the:
–
–
–
completeness and accuracy of the Exposure at Default (“EAD”) and the classification thereof into
stages consistent with the definitions applied in accordance with the policy approved by the Board
of Directors including the appropriateness of the qualitative factors to be applied;
completeness and accuracy of information used in the estimation of the PD for the different stages
depending on the nature of the portfolio; and
computation of the ECL including methodology used to determine macro economic overlays and
adjustments to the output of the ECL Model.
•
Also, for a sample of ECL on loan assets:
– we tested the input data such as ratings and period of default and other related information used
in estimating the PD;
– we evaluated reasonableness of LGD estimates by comparing actual recoveries post the loan asset
becoming credit impaired with estimates of LGD;
– we evaluated the incorporation of the applicable assumptions into the ECL Model and tested the
mathematical accuracy and computation of the allowances by using the same input data used by
the Company.
• We also tested the adequacy of the adjustment after stressing the inputs used in determining the output
as per the ECL Model and ensured that the adjustment was in conformity with the amount approved by
the Audit Committee.
• We also assessed the disclosures made in relation to the ECL allowance to confirm compliance with the
provisions of Ind AS 107.
Principal Audit
Procedures
462
Impairment of Toll Collection Rights of certain operating projects who have incurred continuous losses.
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.
The Group has carried out an evaluation for impairment of such toll collection rights where indicators of
impairment were identified. Due to the multitude of factors and assumptions involved in determining the
forecasted revenues/cash flows and discount rate in the projection period, significant judgments are required
to estimate the recoverable values.
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 Note No. [1](II)(o) of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Principal Audit
Procedures
The component auditors (being other firms of chartered accountants) have performed the following audit
procedures:
•
•
•
•
•
conducted discussions with Company personnel to identify factors, if any, that should be taken into
account in the impairment analysis;
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;
evaluated the appropriateness of key assumptions in the valuations including discount rate, growth
rate, and consulted internal specialists for such evaluation. 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 component 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; and
Increase/decrease to cost forecasts.
Physical verification of inventory
Key audit matter
description
The Company’s management conducts physical verification of inventories during the year at reasonable
intervals, however, on account of the COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions, management was able
to perform year end physical verification of inventories, only at certain locations. Management has
carried out other procedures to validate the existence of its inventory as at the year end, such as carrying
out consumption analysis, and performing roll-back procedures from the subsequent year end physical
verification date to determine the quantities of the inventory at the balance sheet date.
Refer Note No. [1](II)(s) of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The procedures performed included the following:
•
Understood the process and tested the Management’s internal controls to establish the existence of
inventory in relation to the process of periodic physical verification carried out by the management, the
scope and coverage of the periodic verification programme, the results of such verification including
analysis of discrepancies, if any;

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
i.
The Parent’s Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises 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, standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
ii. 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 financial statements of the joint operations, subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates audited by the 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 other auditors.
If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a 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 Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of 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 including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated changes in equity of the Group
including its 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 and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group
and its associates and its 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated
financial statements by the Directors of the Parent Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and
of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board
of Directors either intends to liquidate their respective entities 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 and of its associates and joint ventures are also responsible
for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its 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
464
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 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 Parent
Company has adequate internal financial controls system 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 the 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 the ability of the
Group and its 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 and its associates and joint ventures to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the consolidated 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 entities or business activities within the
Group and its associates and joint ventures to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities or business activities included in
the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated
financial statements, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Parent Company and such other entities included in the consolidated
financial statements of which we are the independent auditors 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 2019-20
ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph “(f)” under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2020,
we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of LARSEN & TOUBRO LIMITED (hereinafter referred to as
“Parent”) and its subsidiary companies which includes one of the Group’s 35 joint operations which is a company incorporated in India,
its associate companies and joint ventures, 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 operation, its associate companies and joint ventures,
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 issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including
adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Parent, its subsidiary
companies, its joint operation, its associate companies and its joint ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
(the “Guidance Note”) issued ICAI and the Standards on Auditing (“SA”), 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 other auditors of the subsidiary companies,
joint operation, associate companies and joint ventures, 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 operation, its associate companies and its joint
ventures, which are companies incorporated in India.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also,
projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that
468
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 the other auditors referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, the Parent, its subsidiary companies, its joint operation,
its associate companies and joint ventures, 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, 2020, based on the criteria for internal financial controls over financial reporting 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 31 subsidiary companies, 1 joint operation company, 3 associate companies and 7 joint
ventures, which are companies incorporated in India, is based solely on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies
incorporated in India.
Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls
over financial reporting in so far as it relates to 12 subsidiary companies, 1 associate and 3 joint venture companies, which are
companies incorporated in India, whose financial information is unaudited and whose efficacy of internal financial controls over
financial reporting 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](I)
Corporate Information
The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise financial statements of “Larsen & Toubro Limited” (“L&T”, the “Parent Company”) and
its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) for the year ended March 31, 2020.
The principal activities of the Group, its Joint Ventures and associates consist of providing Engineering and Construction solutions in
key sectors such as Infrastructure, Hydrocarbon, Power, Process Industries and Defence, Information Technology and Financial Services.
Further details of the business operations of the Group are mentioned in Note [46] Segment Information.
NOTE [1](II)
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 June 5, 2020.
(b) Basis of accounting
The Group maintains its accounts on accrual basis following historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities 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, Statement of Profit and Loss and Statement of Changes in Equity 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 investor’s returns.
478
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
(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.
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 divestment or 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
evidence of impairment.
When the Group’s share of losses of a joint venture or an 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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
(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.
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 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.
480
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
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
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.
c. Determining the method to be applied to arrive at the variable consideration requiring an adjustment to the transaction price.
Revenue 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
481

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
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.
E.
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.
In the case of the developmental project business and the realty business, revenue includes profit on sale of investment
properties or sale of stake in the subsidiary and/or joint venture companies as the sale/divestments are inherent in the
business model.
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 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/ reduced from underlying expenses 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. (read with Note [1]
(II)(y)(i)(b))
(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.
All directly attributable costs related to the acquisition of PPE and borrowing costs in case of qualifying assets are 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.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and the cost can be measured reliably.
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.
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.
Freehold land is not depreciated. PPE is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use
or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period.

NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
(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 and borrowing cost capitalised for qualifying assets, in
accordance with the Group’s accounting policy.
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, including borrowing costs capitalised for qualifying assets and reduced by accumulated amortisation and cumulative
impairment. Administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to acquisition of intangible assets
are allocated and capitalised as a part of the cost of the intangible assets.
Research and development expenditure on new products:
(i)
Expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period in which it is incurred
(ii) Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:
A.
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
B.
the Group has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
C.
the Group has ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
D.
E.
F.
the manner in which the probable future economic benefits will be generated including the existence of a market for
output of the intangible asset or intangible asset itself or if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of intangible assets;
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the
intangible asset; and
the Group has ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
Development expenditure that does not meet the above criteria is expensed in the period in which it is incurred.
Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “intangible assets under
development”.
Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis over the estimated useful life. The method of amortisation and useful life are
reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective
basis. The estimated useful life for major categories of the intangible assets are as follows:
(i)
Specialised software: over a period of three to ten years;
(ii) Technical know-how: over a period of three to seven years;
(iii) Development costs for new products: over a period of five years;
(iv) Customer contracts and relationships: over a period of the contract which generally is over three to ten years;
(v) Tradename: over a period of 5 years;
(vi)
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses;
484
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
(vii) 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
(viiii) 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,
which may vary based on the future performance of the entity 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.
485
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a discount rate based on the market
yield on government securities of a maturity period equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of the defined benefit
obligations at the Balance Sheet date.
Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest
on the net defined benefit liability or asset) and any change in the effect of asset ceiling (if applicable) is recognised in other
comprehensive income and is reflected in retained earnings and the same is not eligible to be reclassified to profit or loss.
Defined benefit costs comprising current service cost, past service cost and gains or losses on settlements are recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefits expense. Interest cost implicit in defined benefit employee cost is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under finance cost. Gains or losses on settlement of any defined benefit plan
are recognised when the settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense at the earlier of the plan amendment or
curtailment and when the Group recognises related restructuring costs or termination benefits.
In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans
to recognise the obligation on a net basis.
(iii) Long term employee benefits:
The obligation recognised in respect of long term benefits such as compensated absences, long service award etc. is
measured at present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Group and is recognised in a similar
manner as in the case of defined benefit plans vide (ii) B above.
Long term employee benefit costs comprising current service cost and gains or losses on curtailments and settlements,
re-measurements including actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as employee benefit
expenses. Interest cost implicit in long term employee benefit cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss under
finance cost.
(iv) Termination benefits:
Termination benefits such as compensation under employee separation schemes are recognised as expense when the
company’s offer of the termination benefit is accepted or when the Group recognises the related restructuring costs
whichever is earlier.
(q) Leases
Leases are accounted as per Ind AS 116 which has become mandatory from April 1, 2019.
Assets taken on lease are accounted as right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liability is accounted at the lease
commencement date.
Initially the right-of-use asset is measured at cost which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle
and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives
received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental
borrowing rate. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate, or
a change in the estimate of the guaranteed residual value, or a change in the assessment of purchase, extension or termination
option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The right-of-use asset is measured by applying cost model i.e. right-of-use asset at cost less accumulated depreciation/impairment
losses . The right-of-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease
term or useful life of the underlying asset whichever is lower. Carrying amount of lease liability is increased by interest on lease
liability and reduced by lease payments made.
486
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
Lease payments associated with following leases are recognised as expense on straight-line basis:
(i)
Low value leases; and
(ii)
Leases which are short-term.
Assets given on lease are classified either as operating lease or as finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. Initially asset held under finance lease is
recognised in balance sheet and presented as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Finance income
is recognised over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on Group’s net investment in the
lease. A lease which is not classified as a finance lease is an operating lease.
The Group recognises lease payments in case of assets given on operating leases as income on a straight-line basis. The Group
presents underlying assets subject to operating lease in its balance sheet under the respective class of asset.
(Also refer to policy on depreciation, supra)
(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
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.
487
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
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.
Trade receivables, security deposits, cash and cash equivalents, employee and other advances – at amortised cost
7.
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.
For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses
or at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly
since initial recognition.
In respect of financial services business, the Group applies a separate model of the expected credit loss for recognising
impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, lease receivables, trade
receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset and financial guarantees not designated as at
FVTPL as follows:
•
•
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the
weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with
the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original
effective interest rate (or credit- adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial
assets). The Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example,
prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.
The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit
losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk
on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance
for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses
are portion of the lifetime expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs
within the 12 months weighted by the probability of default after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls
that are predicted over the next 12 months.
488
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
• 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, trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value
and subsequently 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. Where the hedged forecast
transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, such gains / losses are transferred from Hedge Reserve (but not
as reclassification adjustment) and included in the initial measurement cost of the non-financial asset.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no
longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity
at that time remains in equity and is recognised in profit or loss when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in
profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised
immediately in profit or loss.

NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
(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
realizable 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 costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location. Taxes which are subsequently recoverable from taxation authorities are not included in the cost.
(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 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.
490
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
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.

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
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 are not 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 are being
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.
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.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all 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.
492
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
Deferred tax assets relating to unabsorbed depreciation/business losses/losses under the head “capital gains”/ other temporary
differences are recognised and carried forward to the extent of available taxable temporary differences or where there is convincing
other evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets in respect of unutilised tax credits which mainly relate to minimum alternate tax and dividend distribution tax
paid or payable by the subsidiary companies are recognised, to the extent it is probable that such unutilised tax credits will get
realised, 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 or in case of
business combination, is recorded along with the tax as applicable.
The Group uses estimates and judgements based on the relevant rulings in the areas of allowances and disallowances which is
exercised while determining the provision for income tax.
(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.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [1](II) (contd.)
(ac) Discontinued Operations and non-current assets held for sale
Discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale and represents a major
line of business.
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 made by the management have been explained under respective policies and 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.
NOTE [1](III)
The Group has assessed the impact of COVID-19 on its financial statements based on the internal and external information upto
the date of approval of these financial statements and expects to recover the carrying amounts of its investments, intangible assets,
goodwill, trade receivable, project work-in-progress and inventories. The Group will continue to monitor the future economic conditions
and update its assessment.

The Group continues its policy of a conservative capital structure which has ensured that it retains the highest credit rating.
Low gearing levels also equip the Group with the ability to navigate business stresses on one hand and raise growth capital on
the other. This policy also provides flexibility of fund raising options for future, which is especially important in times of global
economic volatility. The gross debt equity ratio is 1.85:1 (as at 31-3-2019: 1.81:1).

ten percent of the group’s total revenue.
(d) The group’s reportable segments are organised based on the nature of products and services offered by these segments.
(e) Segment reporting: basis of identifying operating segments, reportable segments and definition of each reportable segment:
(i)
Basis of identifying operating segments:
Operating segments are identified as those components of the groups (a) that engage in business activities to earn revenues
and incur expenses (including transactions with any of the group’s other components); (b) whose operating results are
regularly reviewed by the Group’s Corporate Executive Management to make decisions about resource allocation and
performance assessment; and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.
The group has 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.

Notes: The fair value of the plan assets under the trust managed provident fund plan has been determined at amounts based
on their value at the time of redemption, assuming a constant rate of return to maturity.
*
Basis used to determine interest income on plan assets:
The Trust formed by the Parent Company and a few subsidiaries manage the investments of provident funds and gratuity
fund. Interest income on plan assets is determined by multiplying the fair value of the plan assets by the discount rate
stated in (vii) below both determined at the start of the annual reporting period.
The Group expects to fund R 168.82 crore (previous year: R 111.90 crore) towards its gratuity plan and R 174.71 crore
(previous year: R 143.83 crore) towards its trust-managed provident fund plan during the year 2020-21.
$
Employer’s contribution to provident fund.
(v) The fair value of major categories of plan assets are as follows:

(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

NOTE [52] (contd.)
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.
(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.
NOTE [53]
Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 20 “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance”:

by Department General of Foreign Trade India (DGFT). Income/reduction from underlying expenses recognised towards such export
incentives and duty drawback amounts to R 253.61 crore (previous year: R 252.91crore).

NOTE [58]
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 primarily 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 given 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:

NOTE [58] (contd.)
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 111.39 crore as at March 31, 2020 and R 106.11 crore as at March 31, 2019.
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, 2020 due to the inherent limitations associated with predicting the
timing and amount of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the Group’s actual exposures and position.
(ii)
Interest rate risk:
The Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s outstanding floating rate debt and lending.
The Group’s outstanding debt in local currency is a combination of fixed rate and floating rate. For the portion of local
currency debt on fixed rate basis, there is no interest rate risk. For the portion of local currency debt on floating rate basis,
there is a natural hedge with receivables in respect of financial services business. There is a portion of debt that is linked
to international interest rate benchmarks like LIBOR. The Group also hedges a portion of these risks by way of derivative
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 is 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 strategies to 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.

NOTE [58] (contd.)
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 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 39.42 crore as at March 31, 2020 and +/- R 38.01 crore as at March 31, 2019. A 5%
change in the equity funds’ NAV would result in a value change of +/- R 6.49 crore as at March 31, 2020 and +/- R 39.16 crore
as at March 31, 2019 respectively. The investments in money market funds are for the purpose of liquidity management only and
hence not subject to any material price risk.
(c) Credit risk management:
(i)
Financial services 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 services 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
the organisation to ensure proper attention and focus for realisation.

1. Carrying amount of loans is gross of provision for expected credit losses.
2.
The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables are considered to
be the same as their fair values due to their short term nature. The carrying amounts of loans given and borrowings taken for
short term or at floating rate of interest are considered to be close to the fair value. Accordingly these items have not been

The Group has adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” (“Standard”) effective April 1, 2019 (initial application date). Ind AS 116 supersedes
Ind AS 17 “Leases”. The Standard sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The
Standard has brought major changes with respect to lease accounting for the lessee. It requires a lessee to account for right-of-use
asset and lease liability for all the leases without classification into operating and finance lease.
The Group has used modified retrospective method of transition. Accordingly, the Group has recognised a debit of R 79.09 crore
(the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard as an adjustment) to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date
of initial application. Accordingly, the figures of the previous year have not been restated.
The Group has availed of following practical expedients as at the transition date as provided by the Standard:
•
•
Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application are accounted in the same way as
short term leases.
The Group has not reassessed whether a contract is or contains a lease at the date of initial application and instead applied
the Standard to those contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.
•
The Group has excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
For leases previously classified as operating leases under Ind AS 17 and which are neither low value leases nor short term leases,
the Group has recognised:
•
•
a lease liability at present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using Group’s incremental borrowing rate of
8.11% at the transition date.
a right-of-use asset at its carrying amount as if the Standard has been applied since the lease commencement date but
discounted using Group’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application, except in few cases wherein the
right-of-use asset is determined as an amount equal to the lease liability as at the transition date.
For leases previously classified as finance leases under Ind AS 17, the carrying amount of lease asset and lease liability as at
March 31, 2019 have been considered as right-of-use asset and lease liability respectively as at April 1, 2019 under Ind AS 116.

Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements (contd.)
NOTE [61] (contd.)
Reconciliation between operating lease commitments disclosed as per Ind AS 17 as at March 31, 2019 and lease liabilities
recognised in the Balance Sheet at the date of initial application i.e. April 1, 2019 is as follows:
Particulars
Operating lease commitments under Ind AS 17 as at March 31, 2019
Less: Commitments pertaining to short term leases
Less: Commitments pertaining to low value leases
Less: Impact of discounting of lease payments under Ind AS 116
