ABOUT TATA STEEL 

Established in India as Asia’s first integrated private steel company in 
1907, Tata Steel Limited (Tata Steel) is today one of the most profitable 
and low-cost producers of steel in the world, with captive iron ore mines 
and collieries located near our manufacturing facilities in Jamshedpur and 
Kalinganagar. Our comprehensive portfolio of products and brands caters 
to multiple industries and segments, making the steel we produce an 
integral part of our everyday lives.

ABOUT THIS REPORT

and changes in the external environment. Our Report 
continues to evolve towards enhanced disclosures to 
meet the requirements of our investors and  
other stakeholders.

Reporting Principle
The financial and statutory data presented in this Report 
is in line with the requirements of the Companies Act, 
2013 (including the rules made thereunder); Indian

Building bridges to the future 
SINCE  1907

We have helped shape India’s industrial narrative since the time we set up 
our first steel plant in Jamshedpur to cater to local steel demand. More than 
a century later, we continue to make the world’s most versatile material even 
better to help create iconic structures and landmarks, as well as roads and 
bridges to make life easier. In the meantime, we have navigated through the 
ebb and flow of wars and pandemics, and highs and lows of the industry, 
which have strengthened our resolve and resilience. 

Today, as India takes confident strides towards economic ‘self-reliance’,  
we remain committed to move forward on our intertwined growth 
journey. Our desire to imagine, innovate and co-create a future with infinite 
possibilities is reflected in our efforts to look beyond steel, adopt  
next-generation technologies and make a meaningful positive impact on 
over a billion lives.

operations by reducing spend, managing 
working capital and reducing capital 
expenditures.

 ‐ Both our acquisitions, TSBSL and the steel business 
of Usha Martin Limited by TSLP, continue to deliver 
operational improvement

 ‐ Managing risks at physical assets and across the  

supply chain

 ‐ Ramped up mining operations to reduce iron ore buy

FROM THE CHAIRMAN’S DESK
Tata Steel India was successful in increasing 
deliveries, being profitable, and launching new 
products 

Dear Shareholders,

It is my privilege to write to you and present 
the Integrated Report for FY 2019-20.

In Europe, we maintained production levels 
in FY 2019-20 in line with FY 2018-19. 

I hope this letter finds you safe and in  
good health.

In the past year, we implemented a number 
of key strategic moves:

For most of FY 2019-20, the global steel 
industry faced a number of challenges due 
to global demand and geopolitical tensions 
which have affected the contours of the 
business environment in which we operate. 
Next came the onset of the COVID-19 
pandemic in the final quarter of the year, 
which ushered in a new reality for industries 
across the world. 

Global GDP growth eased to 2.9% in 2019, 
against an initial growth projection of 3.5%. 
In India, growth slowed to 4.2% in FY 2019-20 
against an initial growth projection of 7.5% 
in the beginning of the year. India was just 
beginning to show signs of coming out of 
a protracted slowdown that began in early 
2018 when COVID-19 arrived. 

The impact of the slowing economy was also 
felt in the global steel sector. Global crude 
steel production reached 1,870 MnT in 2019, 
registering a more modest growth of 3.4% 
in 2019 against 4.6% in 2018. The Indian steel 
sector registered a stark easing of growth 
to 1.8% in 2019 compared to 7.7% growth 
in the previous year. Domestic steel prices 
declined sharply in FY 2019-20 (-15% year-
on-year, on average) due to weak demand 
from key industries including automobile, 
construction, and consumer durables. 
Overcapacity in China also played a role in 
the softness in steel prices last year.

Despite the difficult environment, Tata Steel 
Group recorded a production increase of 5% 
in FY 2019-20. Tata Steel India was successful 
in increasing deliveries, being profitable, 
and launching new products. Tata Steel 
India delivered an EBITDA margin of 21%, 
outperforming the global steel industry.  

 ‐ We, through our subsidiary company, 
acquired the steel business of Usha  
Martin Limited.

 ‐ The integration of Tata Steel BSL Limited is 

progressing well. 

 ‐ We are well on course of reorganising 
India subsidiaries into four segments: 
Mining, Long Products, Downstream and 
Infrastructure & Utilities.

 ‐ We made progress on the Tata Steel 

Kalinganagar phase two expansion, with a 
focus on the pellet plant and cold  
rolling mill.

 ‐ We aggressively advanced our digital 

transformation. Tata Steel Kalinganagar 
became the only Indian manufacturing 
facility to be designated as Industry 
4.0 Lighthouse by the World Economic 
Forum. We deployed 100+ data analytics 
models across processes to drive insight-
based decision-making. Our connected 
workforce programme leverages multiple 
technologies and systems to pre-empt 
unsafe incidents.

 ‐ We continued our focus and investments 
in sustainable operations, improving 
our measures on parameters such as 
CO2 emission intensity, coke rate, energy 
intensity, water consumption, among 
others, in both our Jamshedpur and 
Kalinganagar plants.

As we look ahead, it is important to gauge 
COVID-19’s unprecedented impact on the 
global economy. It is expected that global 
growth will contract by over 3% in 2020, the 
worst contraction since the 1930s. For the 
first time since the Great Depression, both 
advanced and developing economies are in 
recession together. Tata Steel is confident 

in its ability to navigate this period through 
strong financial discipline, a reduction 
in capital expenditure and cash flow 
management.

The health and safety of its workforce has 
always been paramount to Tata Steel. We 
have been at the forefront of developing 
industry-specific protocols that can be a 
model—from testing parameters to contact 
tracing, monitoring social distancing 
norms, classifying employee risk levels, and 
providing appropriate healthcare responses.

Within our communities, Tata Steel played a 
key role in COVID-19 relief. Tata Main Hospital 
(TMH) and Medica Hospitals at Kalinganagar, 
Gopalpur and Joda have been designated as 
hospitals for testing, treatment and isolation, 
while TMH has been certified to carry out 
RT-PCR tests for COVID-19. We ramped up 
medical infrastructure in Jharkhand and 
Odisha, adding over 1,200 isolation beds 
and COVID-19 screening facilities. We have 
provided support to nearly 1,00,000 migrant 
workers, and are continuing to provide 
sustenance to millions. In keeping with  
the ethos of Tata Steel, there is still more  
for us to do.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank 
you for your continued trust, confidence,  
and support.

Warm regards,

N. Chandrasekaran
Chairman

   Q. The European business has 
been in focus for a long time. How 
do you envisage the Transformation 
Programme to benefit the European 
business?

The European business is an integral  
part of Tata Steel. We had proposed to form 
a joint venture with thyssenkrupp  
to combine the steel businesses in Europe. 
However, we could not proceed with  
these plans as our proposal did not receive 
the approval of the European Commission. 
We continue with our efforts to make  
our European operations more sustainable. 
The transformation programme aims 
to reduce cost of operations, improve 
productivity, focus on marketing and sales, 
and improve competitiveness both in the 
UK and the Netherlands. During the year 
under review, we realised benefits of about 
£370 million, of which £200 million are 
sustainable benefits. These benefits are 
attributable to lower material costs and cost 
takeout strategy, which were partly offset by 
lower capacity utilization in Europe. 

That said, significant market headwinds, 
particularly in the last two quarters, and 
the disruptions caused due to the COVID-19 
pandemic, have added to the complexity 
of implementing the programme. However, 
the management and leadership team at  
Tata Steel Europe remain committed  
to making our European operations  
self-sustaining in a phased manner and 
generate better returns in the future. 

   Q. FY 2019-20 was a challenging 

year. How do you view Tata Steel’s 
performance in the year gone by?

Undoubtedly, FY 2019-20 was a challenging 
year not just for Tata Steel, but for most 
businesses across the globe. Almost all 
countries faced a slowdown in economic 
growth amidst  rising trade tensions and 
policy uncertainties. This had its bearing on 
the steel industry as well, in terms of weak 
demand and falling steel prices. Making 
matters worse, the COVID-19 outbreak 
in early 2020 brought global economic 
activities to a near standstill as nationwide 
lockdowns and social distancing norms 
were imposed to contain the spread in the 
affected countries. 

Despite these challenges, Tata Steel 
managed to increase deliveries, remain 
profitable, launch new products and retain 
its position as the largest steel manufacturer 
in India. Our crude steel production in India 
grew about 8% while deliveries increased by 
4%. The ramp-up of operations at Tata Steel 
BSL and the integration of the acquired steel 
business of Usha Martin Limited with our 
subsidiary Tata Steel Long Products enabled 
us to continue delivering improvements in 
operating KPIs, which translated into  
better profitability. 

We launched a transformation programme 
at Tata Steel Europe to make our European 
operations simpler, leaner and sustainable, 
and generate savings across multiple 
initiatives. Tata Steel Europe showed a 
turnaround in performance with an EBITDA 
of about £8 million in the fourth quarter 
of FY 2019-20. However, profitability was 
affected by weak market conditions, 
aggravated by the pandemic impact.

   Q. COVID-19 has severely affected 
businesses across the globe. Can you 
brief us on the impact the pandemic 
has had on Tata Steel? What is your 
strategy to navigate through the current 
situation? 

Being part of the essential services and 
process industries, where continuous 
operations of plant facilities are important, 
the steel and mining sectors were exempt 
from the lockdowns. However, several  
steel-consuming sectors, particularly 
automotive, infrastructure and construction, 
were severely impacted, leaving a spill-over 
effect on the steel industry. We witnessed 
a fall in capacity utilisation levels, primarily 
due to a significant reduction in demand 
from our key customer segments. 

Our mining operations continued to 
operate normally, but operations at our 
integrated steel facilities in Jamshedpur 
and Kalinganagar, as well as at those 
of our subsidiaries in Dhenkanal (Tata 
Steel BSL) and Gamahria (Tata Steel Long 
Products), had to reduce production 
levels. Our downstream operations were 
temporarily suspended. As a strategy to 
offset weak domestic demand, we focussed 
on increasing our sales to export markets. 
Our European operations also adjusted 
production levels to match lower demand.

With the easing of lockdown guidelines,  
we are ramping up our operations. However, 
we expect global steel demand to remain 
subdued at least in the first half of  
FY 2020-21. Although the manufacturing 
sector is expected to stage a relatively 
quick recovery, supply chain disruptions are 
likely to continue. The key steel-consuming 
sectors will continue to be sluggish.

We are making ourselves ready for a digital and more sustainable world.  
We have embarked on a multi-year transformation journey to become an agile and 
intelligent enterprise, and be the leader in digital steelmaking by 2025.

The road ahead is certainly challenging. We operate in a highly cyclical industry. 
However, Tata Steel has always risen to challenges and emerged stronger through 
downcycles, which bears testimony to its future readiness.

Thus, we are focussing on conserving cash 
and ensuring adequate liquidity to ride 
out any potential disruptions. We have 
pivoted business decisions on cashflows and 
successfully driven cash neutrality in our 
operations by reducing spend, managing 
working capital and curtailing capital 
expenditure. Our liquidity at the end of  
FY 2019-20 remained robust at ₹17,745 crore, 
including cash and cash equivalents of 
₹11,549 crore. We have also raised additional 
funds to build a contingency buffer. 

   Q. Concerted efforts to combat 
the pandemic are being made towards 
saving lives and now livelihoods. How is 
Tata Steel contributing to these efforts?

Our people are our biggest asset. We remain 
committed to ensuring their safety and 
well-being. Thus, our initial response was 
to protect our employees and immediate 
communities. Enhanced safety and hygiene 
standards were implemented at our offices 
and plants and social distancing norms 
were enforced. We formulated policies to 
promote safety and moved most of our 
essential activities to digital platforms. 

A novel initiative, the ‘pod concept’, has 
been implemented by the health and safety 
team to tackle the spread of COVID-19 within 
the Company premises.  Self-sufficient 
groups of people having self-contained set 
of skills to do an intended job have been 
formed and deployed at manufacturing 
and raw material locations as well as at 
profit centres. The primary objective 
of this initiative is to assure the health 
and safety of our workforce and ensure 
business continuity by limiting the spread 
of COVID-19, if any, to a single ‘pod’. In case 

any suspected or confirmed case is reported 
within a ‘pod’, this initiative helps in the 
contact tracing procedure. 

Staying true to the Tata philosophy of the 
community being a key stakeholder in 
business, we worked to serve the society at 
large. We are working with respective State 
Governments and District Administrations 
to extend support to those in need. Through 
the Tata Steel Foundation, we reached out 
to local residents in our areas of operations 
in Jharkhand and Odisha. Our CSR teams 
are working to provide food and medical 
assistance across the country to migrant 
workers. We are also working towards 
providing sustainable livelihoods through 
self-help schemes and are providing 
essentials and safety support to vulnerable 
communities. We have also stepped-up 
medical facilities at designated hospitals to 
ensure access to quality healthcare.  

   Q. What is your long-term plan to 
strengthen the business of Tata Steel?

Our growth strategy
In line with the Tata Group objective, our 
growth strategy is built on three pillars – 
simplify, synergise and scale. We continue 
to focus on making our India operations 
stronger. Tata Steel BSL is integrating well 
with Tata Steel. We are also in the process of 
amalgamating Tata Steel BSL with Tata Steel 
to simplify operations and derive synergies. 

With the acquisition of the steel business of 
Usha Martin Limited through our subsidiary 
Tata Steel Long Products Limited, we aim to 
enlarge our footprint in the long products 
market. We are focussed on integrating and 
stabilising the various operating units and 
realising identified synergies in various areas 

26

of operations of the newly-acquired steel 
business. We are optimistic that these efforts 
will translate into better profitability on a 
consolidated basis.

The Phase II expansion at Tata Steel 
Kalinganagar to augment the cumulative 
capacity of the plant from 3 MnTPA to  
8 MnTPA will help us consolidate our 
presence in the high-end products segment. 

Tata Steel Mining Limited, a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of Tata Steel, signed 50-year 
leases for Kamarda and Saruabil chromite 
mines. Tata Steel Mining Limited also won 
Sukinda chrome ore mines in the auction.

As for Europe, as mentioned earlier, we are 
focussed on driving the transformation 
programme to generate better returns from 
our operations.

Digital transformation and  
Industry 4.0
We are making ourselves ready for a digital 
and more sustainable world. We have 
embarked on a multi-year transformation 
journey to become an agile and intelligent 
enterprise and be the leader in digital 
steelmaking by 2025. In the process, we 
intend to achieve EBITDA improvements, 
enhance our digital maturity and improve 
our business practices. 

Over the past few years, we have invested in 
creating a robust IT infrastructure that has 
helped improve our agility. It is these efforts 
that have enabled us to respond to the 
current COVID-19 situation. With the help of 
our digital initiatives, we have transitioned 
to a newer way of working wherein our 
workforce continues to operate from home 
and has adjusted well to the new normal. 

Our aim is to make digital interventions 
across the organisation, including in 
operations, integrated supply chain, 
planning and logistics, and marketing and 
sales, among others. We are looking at 
various initiatives to drive end-to-end cost 
optimisation. We are also re-engineering 
our procurement process by introducing 
digital catalogue-based buying platforms, 
commodity price prediction-aided  
buying, analytics-powered negotiation  
tools for category managers and  
end-to-end contract lifecycle management 
and analytics.

Tata Steel has made progress towards 
imbibing Industry 4.0. We are happy to 
report that Tata Steel is the only steel 
company to have two of its facilities,  
Tata Steel Kalinganagar, India and Tata Steel 
IJmuiden, the Netherlands, recognised 
as Industry 4.0 Lighthouses by the World 
Economic Forum.

Focus on Sustainability
Imbibing an underlying responsibility 
towards planet Earth in our operations, 
ensuring the health and safety of people 
at our workplaces, balancing economic 
prosperity and generating social benefits for 
the community are the norms by which  
Tata Steel operates. As a responsible 
corporate, Tata Steel supports the UN Global 
Compact and strives to integrate its 10 
principles in all facets of business. 

Climate change is recognised globally  
as one of the key risks in the 21st century. 
Tata Steel is a signatory to the Task Force on 
Climate Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) 
and has undertaken a climate change risk 
assessment study in accordance with TCFD 
recommendations. Specific mitigation 
and contingency plans for each of the 
identified risks are being integrated with the 
Company’s long-term strategy. 

Towards reducing our environmental 
footprint, we plan to achieve carbon 
emissions <2tCO2/tcs and specific water 
consumption <3 m3/tcs by 2025 and 
become carbon neutral in Europe by 2050. 
Our efforts in the steel scrap recycling 
business are primarily aimed at promoting 
sustainable steelmaking and creating a 
circular economy for steel. 

With regard to health and safety, we are 
committed to achieving ‘Zero Harm’ by 
2025. We are leveraging technology to 
improve our safety processes and health and 
safety standards. 

During the year under review, we reached 
more than 1.4 million lives through our  
CSR interventions in the areas of health, 
access to drinking water, education, 
livelihood, sports and infrastructure 
development, among others. We plan to 
make a meaningful difference to the lives of 
more than 2 million people by 2025. 

   Q. How do you see the road ahead 

for Tata Steel?

The road ahead is certainly challenging. 
We operate in a highly cyclical industry. 
However, Tata Steel has always risen to 
challenges and emerged stronger through 
downcycles, which bears testimony to its 
future readiness. Since 1907, the grit and 
determination of our people have enabled 
us to overcome adversities and we believe 
that this time too, we will learn, adapt and 
take Tata Steel to greater heights.

OPPORTUNITIES
Well positioned  
to tap long-term potential 

Tata Steel continuously monitors and leverages opportunities presented by the 
external and internal environment while mitigating risks. Although the COVID-19 
pandemic poses significant near-term challenges, we are recalibrating operations to 
strengthen resilience and maintaining our buoyant long-term outlook.

INCREASING STEEL DEMAND IN INDIA

India’s per capita steel consumption is only one-third of the world average. Increasing 
population, rapid urbanisation, mobility and infrastructure requirements and government 
initiatives such as ‘Make in India’ are expected to boost steel demand growth. In addition, 
the government’s focus on accelerating the rural economy and plans for building smart 
cities, affordable housing, dedicated freight and high-speed rail corridors, are expected 
to create significant demand for steel. The National Steel Policy (NSP) envisages per capita 
steel consumption to almost double to 160 kg by 2030-31. With a leadership position in 
chosen market segments and world-class production facilities, Tata Steel is well poised to 
benefit from this large opportunity.

EVOLVING NEEDS OF CUSTOMERS

With changing demographics, rapid urbanisation and higher affordability, the nature 
of steel consumption in sectors such as automobiles, white goods and other consumer 
goods is fast evolving.  Along with new products, there is a growing need for Services and 
Solutions that provide convenience. Tata Steel sees significant headroom to grow in new 
and under-penetrated categories. We are well positioned to capitalise on this opportunity 
through our innovative Services and Solutions offerings for consumers and a strong new 
product portfolio backed by robust R&D and a pipeline of innovations.

CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVING NEW BUSINESS MODELS

Today, climate change is the biggest risk facing ‘hard to abate’ sectors such as steel. 
However, Tata Steel sees this as an opportunity to take a leadership role in the steel industry 
by reducing our environmental footprint. Tata Steel Jamshedpur is already a national 
benchmark in CO2 emission. We have constituted a Centre of Excellence on Climate Change 
to implement various technology-enabled projects for CO2 reduction (use of hydrogen as a 
potential alternate fuel, carbon capture and use, beneficiation of low-grade raw materials, 
etc.). Tata Steel has also ventured into the steel recycling business to explore an alternative 
business model that will leverage India’s expected increase in scrap availability to produce 
steel with a lower carbon footprint. These initiatives will not only strengthen our future 
readiness but also provide a competitive edge.

DIGITAL WAVE CREATING A SOURCE OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE 
The world of work is rapidly changing. Automation, big data, advanced analytics, flexible 
sourcing and new business models are revolutionising businesses. The digital transformation 
is not only bringing significant disruptions, but is also enabling a simpler, more agile and 
efficient organisation. Tata Steel is also taking steps to scale Industry 4.0 technologies in its 
operations. In 2019, Tata Steel Kalinganagar became the only Indian manufacturing facility to 
be recognised as Industry 4.0 Lighthouses by the World Economic Forum.

STEEL INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP IN TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION 

Tata Steel aspires to be a technology and innovation leader in the steel industry. Towards this 
vision, Tata Steel leverages its inhouse potential and that of the external ecosystem through 
carefully curated collaborations and partnerships. The VIVA (Ventures, Innoventure and 
Alliances) team has been formed to explore innovation opportunities provided by  
the external ecosystem and accelerate our journey towards achieving technology leadership. 
Our collaborations with start-ups are expected to act as a catalyst for us to gain a competitive 
edge in areas where we do not have the necessary solutions and capabilities.

DEMAND FOR NEW MATERIALS GAINS TRACTION

With the growth in the economy, there is a large opportunity for new materials and 
applications in existing and emerging sectors. We are focussing on creating new businesses 
in high-potential new materials such as Fibre Reinforced Polymer composite and graphene. 
These new businesses are expected to contribute 10% of our revenues going forward and 
reduce the impact of cyclicality of the steel business.

CULTURALLY READY TO LEVERAGE CURRENT AND FUTURE 
OPPORTUNITIES

Tata Steel aspires to be the most valuable and respected steel company globally by being 
future ready structurally, financially and culturally. Over the past decades, Tata steel has been 
able to successfully create a culture of continuous improvement, ethics, safety, diversity, 
environment consciousness and giving back to the community. However, to successfully ride 
the wave of technology enabled disruption, Tata Steel is focussing on fostering a culture of 
agility and innovation. In order to foster an agile mindset in the organisation, Tata Steel has 
embarked on a journey to break silos, increase speed and collaboration, build accountability 
and embed new ways of working.

Ensuring effective 
identification and mitigation

India is one of the most attractive regions globally for the steel industry. However, sensitivity 
to economic cycles, stringent regulations, high cost of capital and logistical challenges, 
among others, pose significant risks. At Tata Steel, we have identified and mapped the key risk 
categories with our Strategic Objectives (SOs) to implement effective mitigation measures.

Capitals Impacted
Financial 

The Company has a large debt portfolio and is 
exposed to volatility in financial markets, which 
can impact the access to and cost of capital.  
The Company is also exposed to currency 
volatility given its import requirements, foreign 
currency debt as well as offshore operations. 
Concerns over climate change within the 
international financial community can adversely 
affect credit appetite for the steel sector. 
Disruption in operations and contraction in 
demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic can lead 
to liquidity challenges.

Mitigation strategies 
The Company has been focussed on deleveraging through internal cash generation and 
monetisation of non-core assets. It has consciously diversified its sources of capital to tap 
alternative pools and exploit financing opportunities. The Company is also continuously 
working towards increasing its debt maturity to provide additional flexibility to  
the business.

A dedicated team manages the currency exposure guided by the hedging policy and 
hedges its exposure on a rolling basis. The Company is focussed on reducing its carbon 
footprint. It continues to improve its disclosure on sustainability performance through 
various disclosure platforms and publishes its sustainability KPIs in accordance with 
international reporting frameworks. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has 
taken measures to curtail business expenses, renegotiate payment terms with vendors, 
reduce its capex commitment sharply and prune fixed costs. It has realigned its marketing 
strategy by redistributing sales to areas less affected by the pandemic and by ramping up 
exports. Liquidity has also been shored up by raising capital through banks  
and bond markets.

The Company is exposed to stringent laws and 
regulations in the areas of environment, trade 
measures, competition and taxes, among others. 
Any non-compliance to various laws and 
regulations can weigh on the Company’s 
operating performance and adversely impact 
reputation. The frequent changes in existing 
regulations and introduction of newer ones make 
compliance more complex.

Mitigation strategies 
The Company is deeply committed to complying with existing laws and regulations and 
has a policy of zero tolerance to non-compliance which is an integral part of its culture 
and operating philosophy. It has invested in systems and processes to drive compliance 
across the organisation. Employees are regularly sensitised about the need to comply and 
educated about the compliance requirements of the role. Technology has been deployed 
to track the compliance within the required timeframe, with suitable escalations and 
reviews. Investments needed to comply with regulatory requirements are prioritised 
within the capital expenditure approval framework.

Steel demand is dependent on economic growth. 
Slowdown in the economy coupled with excess 
capacity can adversely affect steel demand 
and pricing. It is also affected by trade barriers 
and protectionist policies. These can lead to 
steel price variability and impact operating 
performance. The Company is exposed to 
competition from other materials or alternative 
steelmaking technologies. These factors can 
impact steel prices, demand for steel and 
operating performance. COVID -19 is expected 
to have a significant impact on the economy 
in terms of contraction in underlying demand, 
disruption in manufacturing and supply chain 
operations across the country, labour issues, 
liquidity issues, etc., adversely affecting steel 
prices and cashflows.

Mitigation strategies 
The Company continues to enhance its footprint in India by building a diversified 
portfolio of customers from a range of industries across the length and breadth of the 
country to counter slowdown in any one sector or region by diverting sales to other 
sectors/regions. Dedicated marketing and sales teams service customers and build deep 
customer engagement by customising products, improving reliability and providing 
value-added services. Tata Steel has invested in building a strong marketing franchise 
with well-regarded brands and a large network of dealers and retailers across the country. 
This helps in increasing the stickiness of sales and reducing the exposure to business 
cycles. It has also built distribution channels internationally to enable exports as and 
when desired.

The Company has forayed into ready-to-use steel for the construction industry and 
expanded its retail offering by introducing products such as steel doors and windows, 
and furniture to enlarge retail customer base. The Company is also diversifying its product 
offering beyond steel products by introducing new materials such as composites,  
Fibre Reinforced Products, etc. 

The Company has taken numerous steps to deal with challenges in the operating as 
well as the macro-environment arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing 
lockdown imposed by the Government to minimise the impact by increasing its market 
share and increasing exports.

A scenario planning exercise was conducted to assess and plan for a range of outcomes. 
In the immediate aftermath of the lockdown, production was reduced and sales were 
diverted to exports. As the lockdown is getting lifted, sales are being gradually shifted to 
areas less affected by the pandemic with the objective of ramping up sales in line with 
the recovery in the market.  The Company has also ramped up exports in the interim.  
The Company continues to closely monitor the developments on the ground as it seeks 
to align its operations in line with the evolving market conditions.

The steel industry is capital intensive and 
maintenance of critical equipment is vital. 
Conventional maintenance practices may be 
inadequate towards maintenance of critical, 
obsolete/ageing equipment and fire in confined 
spaces and beyond, leading to unplanned 
interruptions of operational processes. 

Mitigation strategies 
The Company focusses on the formulation and execution of advanced maintenance 
practices to improve plant availability and reliability.

Best-in-class practices and technology for detection and protection of critical installations 
have been implemented. Strong quality assurance processes are in place to ensure 
reliability of equipment. Inventory levels have been optimised to achieve reduction in 
working capital without interruption of operations.

In 2019, Tata Steel Kalinganagar became the only Indian manufacturing plant to be 
included in the World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network, a community of 
manufacturers showing leadership in applying Industry 4.0 technologies to drive financial 
and operational impact.

The Company is responsible towards the local 
communities residing around its manufacturing 
locations. The absence of continuous dialogue 
with communities on newer manifestations 
of vulnerability, societal advancement as a 
right dialectic between cultural and livelihood 
aspirations, and newer paradigms to foster 
development will dilute the relationship based on 
trust and lead to loss of reputation and disruption 
of operations.

Mitigation strategies 
The Company’s signature CSR programmes are designed to create replicable  
large-scale models to address the most pressing community challenges on education, 
health, tribal identity and livelihoods. Focussed programmes on disability, agriculture, 
water conservation, rural sport, nutrition and urban slum development emphasise on 
continuous reduction of inequities in society and empower the local community.  
Deep relationships with communities have enabled the Company to respond to the 
prevailing COVID-19 pandemic where it has meaningfully reached more than 0.5 million 
lives across the country, on time. The Company is deeply committed to co-creating 
scalable solutions for the communities it serves.

The Company focusses on increasing interactions 
through digital platforms with customers, 
suppliers and other stakeholders of the Company, 
placing a greater need to secure the IT systems 
and infrastructure vulnerable to cyber-attacks. 
Breach of information security due to cyber-
attacks and non-compliance to IT legislations and 
regulations may lead to business disruption and 
imposition of penalties.

Mitigation strategies 
The Company has invested heavily in managing its IT network.

Mechanisms are in place to capture alerts and triggers from external sources and 
any information security related incidents. Migration of production servers to cloud 
are under various stages of implementation. The Company is working on building a 
next-generation security operations centre and controls. The Company is also building 
capacity and resilience in network through migration to SDWAN (Software Defined Wide 
Area Network).

Significant efforts have been made to increase awareness in addition to investment in 
cyber insurance. The Company has enacted various policies and procedures to ensure 
data privacy. Proactive software asset management ensures compliance.

The cost of operations gets significantly impacted 
by commodity pricing. Volatility in the supply 
and prices of commodities accentuated by 
exchange rate fluctuations, given there are a 
number of imported raw materials,  
can impact profitability.

Mitigation strategies 
Changing prices of coal and iron are generally reflected through adjustments in steel 
prices, which help in managing long-term price trends. The Company also enters into 
long term contracts with raw material vendors for a bulk of its requirements instead of 
depending entirely on the spot market. In addition, the Company also hedges certain 
commodities in the derivatives market to address short-term volatility.

Stringent climate laws and regulations for 
accelerating transition to a low-carbon economy, 
technology disruptions and shifting customer 
preferences to alternative materials may 
adversely impact profit margins.

Risk assessment for key vendors is performed to assess the capability of vendors in 
meeting the supply requirements. Necessary clauses are incorporated in vessel contracts 
to safeguard the Company’s interests in case of potential delays.

Mitigation strategies 
The Company has adopted the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) 
framework and strengthened its internal governance, disclosures and policy advocacy for 
transitioning to a lower carbon regime of operations.

Over the last five years, there has been significant reduction in coke rates and dust 
emissions along with 100% slag utilisation, increase in scrap usage and focus on scrap 
recycling. To build internal R&D capabilities in carbon reduction and other sustainability 
measures, the Company is looking at collaborations with R&D institutes, academia and 
technology suppliers. The Company continues to build new portfolio in Value-added 
Products, Services & Solutions and New Materials Business to establish new markets and 
consumer segments.

Solidifying bonds with partners in progress

At Tata Steel, we consider our stakeholders as partners in long-term value creation. We have 
developed a robust stakeholder engagement process to foster and nurture relationships, 
which helps improve strategy development and decision making. 

Delivering on stakeholder needs, 
interests and expectations are 
core to the way we operate. 
In FY 2018-19, we conducted 
a pan-India stakeholder 
engagement exercise to revisit 
the Environmental, Social and 
Governance (ESG) issues that are 
material to value creation amid 
the evolving global sustainability 
landscape. In FY 2019-20, we 
launched a Responsible Supply 
Chain Policy for our vendor 
partners and suppliers.

Our key stakeholders comprise 
investors, customers, vendors, 
government and regulatory 
bodies, employees, communities 
as well as the media and industry 
bodies. We periodically engage 
with them either through 
focussed groups or individually. 
For effective communication, 
we use a wide range of tools and 
platforms such as our Company 
website, newsletters, e-mails, 
social media and press releases.

Actions to realise our priorities

Materiality enables us to identify, prioritise, track and report the most 
important sustainability issues under economic and environment, social and 
governance (ESG) that have a significant impact on our business. 

Tata Steel conducted an extensive stakeholder 
engagement exercise in FY 2018-19 to identify 
the top 20 ESG issues that are material to the 
organisation. The economic material issues 
were revisited through various stakeholder 
engagement processes and business reviews by 
the senior leadership. These issues are of high 
importance to our stakeholders and integral 
to our vision of being the ‘global steel industry 
benchmark in value creation and  
corporate citizenship’.

ADDRESSING MATERIAL ISSUES
Tata Steel’s strategy and planning process 
incorporates the material issues by mapping 
them to its long-term Strategic Objectives 
(SOs). These issues are reviewed monthly by 
the respective owners and quarterly by the 
senior management.

Managing finances prudently

At Tata Steel, we strive to optimise returns for providers of 
our financial capital. We endeavour to maximise surplus 
funds from both business operations and monetisation of 
assets and investments as relevant.

We invest our surplus in attractive growth opportunities in 
our core market. We also continue to optimally raise finance 
based on prevailing market conditions at the best possible 
cost and on flexible terms given the cyclical nature of the 
steel industry.

HOW DO WE MANAGE OUR 
FINANCIAL CAPITAL
Financial capital is generated annually 
from surplus arising from current business 
operations and through financing 
activities, including raising debt and 
equity aligned with market conditions 
and internal strategic planning, as well as 
optimal asset monetisation.

We ensure that the regular operations 
are at an optimum level. Our operational 
KPIs are compared with internal and 
external benchmarks to achieve best 
production, higher productivity and yields. 
We have continuous cross-functional 
improvement programmes under Total 
Quality Management (TQM) and Shikhar25 
wherein TQM techniques are routinely 
deployed for operations, maintenance 
process improvements, operational 
efficiency, product mix optimisation,  
waste reduction and recycling, energy 
efficiency and procurement optimisation. 
They lead to cost optimisation. Our 
innovative marketing initiatives and 
various ongoing digital programmes 
provide better customer connect and 
reach, and higher realisations. This 
operational efficiency enables us to 
generate positive cash flows from 
operations. 

We have a robust financial planning 
process that assesses the requirement of 
funds for sustainable business operations 
as well as for investments towards 
present and future business sustainability 
and growth opportunities. The fund 

requirement over business surplus and 
retained earnings are met by raising funds 
as per market conditions to reduce finance 
cost and have flexible terms in line with 
the cyclical nature of the steel industry. 
We continuously work towards aligning 
the debt maturity profile to the long 
gestational nature of steel projects while 
maintaining a flexible capital structure in 
line with business needs, which results in 
significant savings in interest costs and 
ensures maintenance of desired liquidity 
levels. Foreign exchange risks are actively 
managed with adequate hedging.

We deleverage our balance sheet through 
internal cash flows and asset monetisation. 
The funds generated are allocated to 
strategic investments in subsidiaries,  
inter corporate loans and investments 
in capital assets. The surplus funds are 
invested in short-term instruments. 

MANAGING CAPITAL INPUTS 
We tied up $525 million through ECB and 
domestic term loans of ₹2,000 crore to 
meet the capex requirement in India.  
We have established ₹3,000 crore of Letter 
of Credit lines for the Phase II expansion  
of Kalinganagar. 

We have judiciously availed Government 
schemes and policies during the year 
which led to lower tax charge and outgo 
due to rationalisation of Corporate Income 
tax rates from 30% to 22% and settlement 
of 234 Central Excise and Service Tax 
disputes under the tax amnesty scheme 
known as Sabka Vishwas Legal Dispute 
Resolution Scheme (SVLDRS).

To tide over the pandemic-induced 
business disruptions in the domestic 
market, sufficient short-term liquidity of 
₹4,800 crore was arranged. Our innovative 
financing strategy for coal procurement 
helped us to deleverage by ₹360 crore.  
In addition, we generate cost savings from 
business process improvements (TQM 
initiatives and Shikhar25). 

MANAGING CAPITAL OUTCOMES 
Our India operations were strengthened 
by the acquisition of the steel business of 
UML, by our subsidiary TSLP, increasing 
and stabilising  production at Tata Steel 
BSL acquired in FY 2018-19. We continue 
to utilise trade finance products to realise 
funds from business cash flows in advance 
to deleverage the balance sheet. 

The credit rating agencies, Standard 
& Poor’s (S&P) and Brickworks have 
retained their existing credit rating on 
the Company. However, based on the 
prevailing situation, the outlook has been 
revised to ‘Stable’.

STRATEGIC FOCUS 
 ‐ Drive growth without increasing 
leverage; enhance internal cash 
generation through efficiency and 
productivity

 ‐ Focus on divestments; build synergies 

from acquisitions 

 ‐ Allocate capital efficiently

We believe that building a process and 
culture of breakthrough innovation in the 
organisation will enable the Company to 
further enhance its competitive advantage. 
A key aspect of this is Technology Leadership 
and with this objective in mind, Tata Steel has 
identified Technology Leadership Areas that 
focus on breakthrough innovation in selected 
opportunity areas. Technology roadmaps 
have been planned and work is being done in 
utilising low-quality raw materials, new and 
innovative coatings on steel, development 
of carbon capture and usage technologies, 
generation and use of hydrogen in the steel 
making process, materials for mobility of the 
future and reduction in water consumption. 
These are designed to significantly increase 
current competitiveness (e.g. use low-grade 
raw materials) and to provide long-term 
sustainability by reducing CO2 and other 
environmental footprint. 

Focussing on consumer-in innovation, 
our Innovent team continues to recognise 
and work on the unarticulated needs of 
customers. During the year under review, 
Tata Steel added French Doors to its portfolio 
in the homemaking space. The doors, with 
aesthetic look and greater security for areas 
leading to balconies, gardens and lobbies,  
are being piloted in Punjab and Kerala.  
Urban infrastructure is another area of 
interest for Innovent. Integrated charging 
infrastructure for Electric Vehicles (EV) offers 
significant market potential. This has been 
piloted in Hyderabad where 15 canopy 
structures have been successfully installed for 
EV charging stations.

A core enabling team comprising Ventures, 
Innoventure and Alliance Management has 
been set up to monetise our intellectual 
property, leverage the start-up ecosystem 
and build strategic collaborations with 
academia and industry bodies.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 
INFRASTRUCTURE
A strong R&D team with specialisation 
in myriad fields has delivered on several 
projects in the domain of sustainability, cost 
reduction and new product development. 
A pilot plant of the scale of 5 Tonnes per 
Day (TPD) is being installed at one of our 
steelmaking plants to capture CO2 from 
blast furnace gas. To generate value from 
waste, R&D has successfully established a 
process for using water-cooled and air-cooled 
ferrochrome slag material in applications 
such as bitumen road, concrete and fly ash 
slag bricks. An in-house patented technology 
was implemented in coke ovens whereby 
some portion of the expensive coking coal 
can be replaced by non-coking coal aided 
by adding a cost-effective polymer. R&D has 
demonstrated (at pilot scale) a process for 
converting non-coking coal to coke by rapid 
heating through microwave energy.  
Tata Steel, along with a leading automotive 
player, has developed a new design for the 
tipper body using a new grade of high-
strength steel that lowers weight by 200-300 
kg without compromising on strength. 

KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN 
ALTERNATE MATERIALS
New Materials Business (NMB): The 
business was set up to explore opportunities 
in materials beyond steel and to partially 
insulate our revenues from steel cyclicality.

Graphene Business: This business  
focusses on the production of graphene 
powder, graphene master batches and 
graphene-enriched products. The business 
has strengthened its position in coated 
solutions through its offering of liquid,  
dry and aerosol-based formulations.  
In FY 2019-20, around 1,500 tonnes of 
graphene-coated ‘cut and bend’ superlinks 
(GFX Ultima) were sold.

KEY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS 
During the year under review, we developed 
155 new products including grades for  
high-strength automotive structural 
applications. Our continuous efforts towards 
enriching customer experience by delivering 
innovative products resulted in Tata Steel 
winning the ‘Innovative supplier of the year 
2019’ award for developing the S460MC 
grade of steel. 

On the long products front, we 
commercialised high-strength, high-ductility 
rebar grade – Fe600 HD. We also developed 
low nitrogen steel grade (WR3M) wire rods 
through the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) route 
for welding electrode wire application.

In the infrastructure segment, a wide range 
of FRP solutions were launched, including 
FRP street furniture, gazebos, fencing, 
and a range of decorative and translucent 
poles. Building on the success of installing 
India’s first FRP foot overbridge in March 
2019, NMB completed two more successful 
FRP bridge projects in FY 2019-20.
In the industrial segment, FRP pressure 
vessels for water filtration, FRP tanks 
and chemical equipment for paper and 
pulp, textile and iron and steel industries 
were supplied. These products are best 
equipped to tackle corrosion and are 
lightweight, thereby offering a long 
maintenance-free service life.

FRP components to the Indian Railways, 
NMB has entered into railway coach 

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Tata Steel has embarked on a multi-year 
transformation journey to become an agile, 

digital and intelligent enterprise and the 
leader in digital steelmaking by 2025.  
In the process, we intend to generate EBIDTA 
improvements of $2 billion, enhance our 
digital maturity and improve our work 
practices to be more insightful as  
an organisation. 

Cloud, data and artificial Intelligence (AI) are 
the engines driving this transformation.  
Over the past couple of years, investments 
made to create a robust IT infrastructure 
have helped improve our agility. This 
has also enabled us to respond to the 
current COVID-19 situation wherein ~8,000 
employees are logging into enterprise 
applications and ~3,500 virtual meetings are 
being conducted daily as a majority of our 
workforce continue to  
operate from home. We are proactively 
monitoring and managing our network.  
Our cybersecurity cell can pre-empt a 
significant amount of ever-increasing 
intrusion attempts. 

Improved IT infrastructure and a disciplined 
approach to data capturing have led to 
higher generation, and secured transmission 
and storage of data. In FY 2019-20, data 
generation increased to 20 TB/month with 
volumes growing 2.5 times over the previous 
year. This enabled us to deploy 100+ data 
analytics models across processes to drive 
insight-based decision-making. Parallelly,  
we are developing a Maintenance 
Technology Roadmap (MTR), which will  
help identify sensorisation needs and  
enable predictive maintenance for  
mission-critical equipment. 

Tata Steel Kalinganagar was recognised 
as Industry 4.0 Lighthouse by the World 
Economic Forum in 2019. It is the only 
Indian site to feature in the network of  
26 lighthouse factories across the 
globe for demonstrating leadership in 
leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies 
to drive financial and operational 
improvements.

Through initiatives such as Smart Asset 
Maintenance, we have achieved higher 
asset availability at lower maintenance cost. 
The Asset Monitoring & Diagnostic Centre 
(AMDC) allows us to remotely monitor 
critical equipment and initiate preventive 
maintenance when required. Integrated 
and remote operations involving high level 
of automation, sensor and camera density, 
combined with data analytics, has enabled us 
to operate remotely.

With a strong IT backbone and streamlined 
data, we are well poised to integrate AI in 
our processes. We view AI as a tool that will 
allow us to be more cognitive as an enterprise 

WAY FORWARD

to our internal processes, externalities and 
stakeholders. In our business-first approach 
to AI, we have identified user stories where  
AI will drive tangible benefits.

Our Connected Workforce Platform leverages 
multiple technologies and systems to  
pre-empt unsafe incidents. It also enables 
policy interventions to ensure safety and 
security of our employees and assets.  
Our initiatives on demand estimation through 
satellite imagery and socio-economic data 
analytics and e-commerce platforms such as 
Aashiyana, DigECA and COMPASS, provide 
alternative channels to reach our customers. 

Going forward, we are looking at Integrated 
Supply Chain Planning and Logistics, 
combined with Integrated Margin Monitor, 
as themes and tools to drive end-to-end 
cost optimisation. We are re-engineering 
our procurement process by introducing a 
digital catalogue-based buying platform, 
commodity price prediction-aided buying, 
analytics-powered negotiation tools  
and end-to-end contract lifecycle 
management and analytics. The focus is 
also on technology-enabled BPaaS* for key 
corporate functions to streamline our  
existing processes.

FOCUS AREAS 

Fostering a culture of agility 
Agility has been identified as one of the 
important levers to ensure Tata Steel is 
prepared for the future. During the year 
under review, several initiatives were 
undertaken both in new and existing 
businesses, along with enabling functions 
such as HR, Procurement, Finance and 
Accounts, to simplify existing processes 
while promoting higher collaboration, 
accountability and ownership. 

The learnings from the initiatives have 
helped articulate the overall change narrative 
and create the blueprint for horizontal 
deployment across the organisation. Going 
forward, specific initiatives will be deployed 
in other parts of the organisation, customised 
to the need of individual units. 

Strengthening people strategies
A high quality, motivated workforce is a key 
enabler for achieving our strategic objectives. 
As we continue to strengthen our industry 
leadership position, it will be critical for us to 
enhance and leverage the capabilities and 
enthusiasm of our people. With this in mind, 
we have formulated our people strategies 
across three thrust areas to build and nurture 
our human capital.

Occupational Health and  
Safety (OHS)
We aim to ensure safe, healthy and  
high-quality lives for our employees. Being in 
an inherently hazardous industry, we ensure 
the highest degree of physical, mental and 
social well-being of people in and around 
our plants. We are ‘Committed to Zero’ harm, 
with the target of achieving zero Lost Time 

Injuries (LTIs). We aspire to be a leader in 
safety and health in the steel industry.

Human Resource Management
Our people practices are aimed at developing 
a culture of care, commitment, engagement 
and harmony across the workforce.  
There is increased focus on encouraging 
diversity through the inclusion of women, 
LGBTQ+ community, underprivileged 
sections and people who are specially-abled. 
At the same time, we strive to increase 
productivity while containing wage cost. 
We thus rationalise, upskill and redeploy 
workforce without disturbing the industrial 
harmony that has been the bedrock of our 
organisation.

Human Rights
We employ a huge workforce, directly or 
indirectly, across our value chain. Given the 
size of our operations, there are inherent 
risks of human rights violation with potential 
repercussions on our reputation. We are 
therefore responsible and accountable for 
upholding human rights across our value 
chain, which includes our operations, 
supply chain, communities and business 
relationships.

OHS: USING TECHNOLOGY TO 
MAKE OUR OPERATIONS SAFE 
AND SECURE
Making our operations safe and secure 
using technology and minimising manual 
intervention is our top priority. With an 
increased footprint of operations after the 
acquisition of TSBSL and the steel business 
of UML by TSLPL, corporate safety has 
taken on the task of capability building and 
handholding the new units on the latest 
safety management systems and processes. 

Introduction of process safety management 
and contractor safety management, 
and creation of the Safety, Health and 
Environment (SHE) risk matrix are some of the 
strategic interventions in this direction.  
We are continuously improving our systems 
and processes through a standardised 
approach to keep all units fatality-free.

SAFETY GOVERNANCE
Our safety governance structure is driven 
by the Safety, Health and Environment 
Committee of the Board (chaired by an 
Independent Director) and the Apex Safety 
Council (chaired by the CEO & MD). The 
Safety Excellence Journey (SEJ) committee 
(chaired by the Vice President – Safety, 
Health & Sustainability), under the guidance 
of the Apex Safety Council, works on policy 
formulation. Their directives are cascaded 
through six apex safety subcommittees  
(each chaired by a Vice President), and further 
to Divisional Implementation Committees 
and Area Implementation Committees.  
The implementation of directives is ensured 
through a monthly review process across the 
organisation.

Employee Productivity
Improving employee productivity is of 
utmost importance to remain competitive. 
We increased productivity from 800 tcs/
employee/year in FY 2018-19 to 803 tcs/
employee/year in FY 2019-20. Our efforts to 
identify and manage redundancy through 
programmes such as right skilling, Sunhere 
Bhavishya Ki Yojna (SBKY) and Job-for-Job 
scheme continued. We also made significant 
progress in simplifying the organisation 
structure, systems and processes. Several 
programmes were also conducted to 
sensitise our employees on productivity 
improvement. During the year, the  
acquired steel business of Usha Martin 
Limited was successfully integrated into  
Tata Steel Long Products. 

Diversity and inclusion
We continue to place significant importance 
on Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in the 
workplace. MOSAIC, our D&I committee, 
covers four aspects – Gender, Persons 
with Disabilities (PwDs), LGBTQ+ and 
different sections of the society (e.g., the AA 
community).

DIGITAL INITIATIVES
We continued our focus on digitalisation with 
several projects being implemented  
to improve employee experience and  
data-driven decision making. The ‘Connected 
Workforce System’ was implemented to 
improve the safety of the contract workforce 
engaged at our plants. It has enabled  
real-time tracking, access control and 
biometric attendance. Our talent 
management suite, ‘TalentPro’ was 
implemented to have unified performance 
management. Real-time dashboards using 
Tableau provide insights on employee cost, 
diversity and productivity.

FUTURE-READY WORKFORCE
We have embarked on a ‘visioning 
exercise’ and formulated the people vision, 
‘Unleashing the Collective Possibilities 
of People’, in line with our aspiration of 
becoming an ‘Employer of Choice’ and 
being future-ready. The exercise is aimed 
at enabling our workforce to realise their 
individual potential, which would  
then collectively help achieve the 
organisation’s goals. 

To realise this vision, a taskforce in the form of 
HR labs has been constituted to work on the 
following four areas: 

Culture
Systematically bring desired 
cultural change at Tata Steel

Career
Enable careers in tune with a 
changing Tata Steel

Value Creation
Create value through people 
interventions

User Experience
Radically enhance employee 
experience

HUMAN RIGHTS
Tata Steel is committed to upholding  
human rights across its value chain.  
Our commitment is reflected in the following 
policy documents (for more information,  
visit www.tatasteel.com). The implementation 
of the Human Rights Policy at workplace is 
done through the adoption of the principles 
of SA 8000 and the United Nations Global 
Compact based on the Universal Declaration 
of Human Rights (UDHR) and International 
Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions.

HUMAN RIGHTS POLICIES
 ‐ Tata Code of Conduct (TCoC)
 ‐ Social Accountability Policy (Human Rights 

at the Workplace)

 ‐ Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) 
and Anti Sexual Harassment Initiative 
(ASHI)

 ‐ Safety Principles and Occupational Health
 ‐ Affirmative Action
 ‐ Corporate Social Responsibility and 

Accountability 

We actively seek to strengthen our 
mechanism to prevent and mitigate adverse 
human rights issues through SA8000 audits 
of our workplace. Appropriate corrective and 
remedial measures (checks and balances) 
have been identified to address any 
non-compliances. Tata Steel underwent the 
SA8000 recertification audit in FY 2019-20, 
and successfully retained the certification  
till 2022.

APPROACH TO PROTECTING 
HUMAN RIGHTS

For full-time employees
Tata Steel is an equal opportunity employer 
and does not discriminate on the basis 
of gender, caste, religion or disability. 
During recruitments, we exercise positive 
discrimination in favour of socially 
disadvantaged communities, provided the 
prospective candidates fulfil our merit-based 
criteria. Our systems and processes in this 
regard are monitored for compliance and are 
subject to continuous improvement through 
the SA 8000 standards and third-party 

verification. MOSAIC – our D&I committee 
– sensitises the workforce to undertake 
initiatives on promoting diversity.

For supply chain partners
All our business associates are mandated to 
conform to and sign the Business Associates 
Code of Conduct, which lays down  
human rights and safety requirements. 
The procurement team undertakes sample 
assessments for human rights (for potential 
high-risk suppliers) to ensure compliance. 
Earlier this year, the Tata Steel Responsible 
Supply Chain policy was released.  
It communicates how Tata Steel will engage 
with its supply partners and sets out 
expectations and minimum standards for fair 
business practices, health and safety, human 
rights and environmental performance. 
These aspects will be used for evaluation  
and contract approvals for our supply  
chain partners.

For contract workers
A dedicated contractor’s cell was established 
to ensure that no human rights violations 
take place at the workplace. The cell also 
looks at corrective and preventive measures 
to deal with cases of violations of our  
TCoC and Social Accountability Policy.  
The contractor safety management process 
ensures that a safe and healthy workplace is 
provided to the entire contract workforce. 
Periodic assessments and ratings are carried 
out to upgrade the contractor’s safety 
standards.

For indigenous communities
Tata Steel’s operations require significant 
resettlement and rehabilitation of indigenous 
communities residing in the proximity of its 
operating sites. Our Affirmative Action Policy 
and Corporate Social Responsibility and 
Accountability Policy lay down the rules of 
engagement with the affected parties.  
The CSR team ensures that Tata Steel upholds 
the highest standards of human rights as 
part of rehabilitation and resettlement, both 
before and after project completion.

The traditional method of steel production 
through the blast furnace route is  
resource-intensive and has significant carbon 
footprint. We aspire to take our carbon 
emissions to <2 tCO2/tcs for our  
India operations, attain zero waste and  
reduce specific water consumption to  
<3 m3/tcs by 2025. 

We continue our pursuit of establishing 
best-in-class facilities and constantly invest 
to upgrade manufacturing and distribution 
facilities to improve operational and 
environmental performance. In FY 2019-20, 
₹283 crore was invested on environmental 
management system upgradations focussed 
on improvement in air emissions, water 
management, imbibing circular economy 
principles and conservation of biodiversity. 

We have implemented environmental 
management systems in accordance with 
ISO 14001, which provides the necessary 
framework for managing compliance and 
improving environmental performance. 
We maintain accredited laboratories for 
environmental performance assessment.

GHG MANAGEMENT
We recognise our obligation to work towards 
mitigation of climate change related risks and 
are committed to addressing the challenges 
of transitioning to a lower carbon regime. 
We believe that steel is an integral part of the 
solution for the transition due to its unique 
property of infinite recyclability, albeit with 
some risk of downcycling.

Our integrated steel works at Jamshedpur is 
the most efficient steel plant in India. A Centre 

of Excellence with cross-functional members 
is working to identify and implement 
projects for CO2 reduction. In FY 2019-20, 
integrated steel operations at Jamshedpur 
and Kalinganagar abated 0.5 MnT of CO2 by 
implementing process improvements and 
energy conservation projects.

The R&D team is collaborating with 
technology companies and academia to 
work on a wide range of technologies, which 
includes carbon capture, use and storage 
(CCUS), hydrogen-based steelmaking and new 
smelting technologies.

With an objective of greening the power mix,  
a study was undertaken with the help of   
The Energy and Resources Institute to assess 
the deployment potential of renewable 
energy across all our sites. A significant 
renewable energy potential (~180 MW) 
has been identified and projects are being 
undertaken to deploy the same in a  
phased manner.

We continue to work on developing HIsarna,  
a new smelting reduction technology for 
which we own the intellectual property rights.  
This technology will facilitate steelmaking 
without the need for coke making or 
agglomeration processes, thereby improving 
efficiency, reducing energy consumption 
and lowering CO2 emissions. The pilot plant 
is located at the Tata Steel Group’s IJmuiden 
site in the Netherlands. We are now exploring 
options to scale up HIsarna in India with a view 
of developing a strategic roadmap to achieve 
a quantum reduction in emissions over 2030 
and 2050.

DUST AND GASEOUS EMISSION 
Air pollution (specially dust emissions) 
is a material issue for Tata Steel. As our 
Jamshedpur unit is in the midst of the 
city, our efforts in upgrading air pollution 
control equipment and better environment 
management have resulted in a 25% reduction 
in dust emission since FY 2016-17. With the 
crude steel production ramping up to  
3 MnTPA at the Kalinganagar unit, established 
operations of pollution control system have 
resulted in a 56% reduction in dust emissions 
from the first year of operations in FY 2016-17.

WATER MANAGEMENT 
Water is a critical resource in steelmaking 
and is used extensively as a coolant. Since 
our operations in India are located near rivers 
(Subarnarekha for Jamshedpur plant and 
Baitarani for Kalinganagar plant), it provides 
a strategic advantage. In FY 2019-20, specific 
consumption of freshwater at Jamshedpur was 
at an all-time best at 2.8 m3/tcs, which is also 
an Indian steel industry benchmark.

While there is a huge manmade water 
reservoir, Dimna Lake in Jamshedpur, which 
supplements the drinking water requirement 
of the township, a river basin study was 
undertaken in FY 2019-20 with the help of CII 
Triveni Water Institute to assess watershed

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
We have been pioneering value creation from 
the industrial by-products in our quest to 
contribute to a sustainable ecosystem in the 
iron and steel industry. The use of by-products 
has contributed to material efficiency rate in 
the steel industry. We handle about 14 MnTPA 
of by-products spanning across 20+ product 
categories comprising more than 250+ SKUs.  
In FY 2019-20, material efficiency saw a significant 
improvement to 98.9% at Jamshedpur and 
100% at Kalinganagar. We achieved industry 
benchmark of 100% solid waste utilisation at our 
facilities in Jamshedpur and Kalinganagar. With 
the objective of harnessing ‘Value from Waste 
& By-Products’, we are committed to becoming 
a knowledge-driven business unit leveraging 
digital and innovation as the key pillars.  
We commissioned India’s first steam ageing 
facility at Jamshedpur for accelerated weathering 
of LD slag to develop environment-friendly 
aggregates for road construction replacing 
natural aggregates. We have created two brands, 
Tata Aggreto and Tata Nirman, which have 
found a wide range of applications in national 
highway projects and the construction industry 
in India. We achieved benchmark of 100% steel 
slag utilisation at our facilities in Jamshedpur 
and Kalinganagar. We won the Environmental 
Stewardship award at ET Now and World 
CSR Congress, for our sustainable usage of 
steelmaking slag in road applications.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Steel has a unique property of being infinitely 
recyclable with some risk of downcycling. 
Primarily, the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) 
method for steelmaking, with lower  
carbon footprint, is used for re-melting 
of steel. Higher usage of scrap in India is 
currently limited due to lower availability 
of scrap and a fragmented scrap supply 
chain. As an initiative to be future ready and 
establish the supply chain for scrap, we set 
up our Steel Recycling Business in FY 2018-19. 
The first steel scrap processing unit is being 
commissioned at Rohtak in Haryana, with an 
initial capacity of 5 lakh tonnes per annum. 

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
We developed an in-house Life Cycle 
Assessment (LCA) model for our TSJ and 
TSK Works in FY 2019-20 in alignment with 
ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. This LCA study, its 
68

approach and the model was critically reviewed 
by an external subject matter expert. This has 
ensured that the environment impact of all the 
products being manufactured at Jamshedpur 
and Kalinganagar from cradle to gate using the 
LCA methodology is now available. In order 
to extend the scope of our LCA work and to 
cover the products manufactured through 
our Steel Processing Centres (SPC), a separate 
study was also carried out covering the SPCs 
in Jamshedpur. The LCA study was completed 
along with the development of dedicated LCA 
models for the steel wire products of Tata Steel’s 
Tarapur Wire Division. Going forward, we plan 
to cover all our operating sites and also include 
the products under our New Material Business 
through the LCA study. We are collaborating with 
a leading industry association to develop Type 1 
Ecolabel Standard for TMT rebars in India, which 
will assess the life cycle sustainability impact of 
TMT rebars.

BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT
We have been a pioneer in undertaking 
biodiversity initiatives at our raw material 

locations with the help of International Union 
for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). To further 
augment efforts across all our sites, a Centre of 
Excellence for Biodiversity Management has 
been constituted to strategically formulate and 
implement Biodiversity Management Plans 
(BMPs). The larger objective is to ensure no net 
loss of biodiversity in the areas that we operate. 
Our current operations in India are not located 
in any of the identified biodiversity hotspots or 
protected areas. In FY 2019-20, more than  
4.5 lakh trees were planted across locations using 
the eco-restoration methodology and Miyawaki 
plantation techniques. 

In FY 2019-20, a 100-hectare Tata Biodiversity Park 
was developed in West Bokaro in Jharkhand by 
reclaiming mined-out areas. The Park has seven  
smaller areas including a butterfly park and a 
niche reptile park. The Park also has a rainwater 
harvesting structure with a catchment area of  
152 hectares and can conserve 1,500 million 
gallons of rainwater. It has a dedicated 2-acre 
patch for the development of native  
forest species.

KEY INITIATIVES TO ENHANCE 
VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS  
IN FY 2019-20

Automotive: Tata Steel continues to retain its 
leadership position in the automotive segment.
In FY 2019-20, the share of business in new 
 ‐
passenger cars launched was over 35% in  
five out of 10 new launches.

Supplier management at Tata Steel 
focusses on maintaining and enhancing 
the performance of supplier partners to 
meet the growing and varying needs of the 
organisation. This is achieved through various 
cross-functional initiatives such as Supplier 
Relationship Management (SRM) programme, 
vendor development, vendor due diligence 
for assessing and inducting new and capable 
vendors and Vendor Capability Advancement 
Programme (VCAP). 

Supplier Relationship Management 
(SRM) programme
The SRM programme is aimed at building 
collaborations with strategic vendors for 
managing and enhancing value delivery 
through innovative solutions.

During FY 2019-20, multiple technology 
sessions were conducted on various 
technologies and innovation areas with our 
strategic vendor partners, which helped in 
creating a pipeline of innovative ideas. 

Engagement with raw material 
suppliers
Developing supplier partnerships through 
long-term projects in the imported coal value 
chain is critical for reducing the overall cost of 
production in the long term. Understanding 
of strategic plans of key suppliers and 
creation of mutually beneficial products have 
helped maximise the supply of coal that has 
higher Value-in-Use (VIU) and that is most 
suitable for our coke plant configuration. 

We have ensured supply security by 
developing new relationships in Russia, 
Canada and Indonesia. The supply chain 
has also been optimised to enhance 
competitiveness vis-à-vis the traditional 
source, Australia. We have also created 
alternative supply chain models for coking 
coal enabled by vendor-managed inventory 
at Indian ports. This has facilitated supply 
chain security, credit enhancement and 
optimisation of inventory, which has led to 
efficient management of complex multi-site 
operations.

Value created for suppliers 
in FY 2019-20
Vendor Development programme and VCAP 
aim to partner and support suppliers to 
enhance their capability through continuous 
improvement, thereby creating a competitive 
vendor base across Tata Steel. 

During FY 2019-20, we initiated 20 vendor 
development programmes, which led to 
value creation and operational improvements 
in productivity, plant availability, reduction 
of rework, improved delivery compliance and 
higher quality of supplies. 

1,330 suppliers were covered by  VCAP 
through various topics such as TQM, finance, 
skill development, operational excellence, 
ethics, safety, cost management and 

sustainability. 175 tier-I employees of vendors 
have been trained on managerial topics such 
as TQM, sustainability and safety culture. 

Further, during FY 2019-20, 284 suppliers 
were trained on Tata Code of Conduct and 
SA 8000, and 50 suppliers were assessed on 
human rights (SA 8000) compliance and due 
diligence. 

Further, to support local communities and 
encourage the inclusion of marginalised 
sections of the society, we help develop 
entrepreneurial capabilities by creating 
positive differentiation through our 
Affirmative Action (AA) programme. Nearly 
35% of our supply chain partners are local, 
of which 70 are AA suppliers and DP vendors 
(displaced due to greenfield project). 

Strategic Supplier Meet 2019

WAY FORWARD

We are actively working on the 
implementation of innovative and 
structured financing solutions such 
as Receivable Purchase Agreement 
with major suppliers and ramping up 
vendor-managed inventory coverage.

We plan to roll out our new Supply 
Sustainability Policy to all our 
vendors, and conduct focussed 
interactions and assessment of 
200+  selected suppliers (first phase) 
on four aspects – fair business 
practices, health and safety, 
human rights and environmental 
protection.

Our overarching vision of ‘an equitable 
and enlightened society where every 
individual realises his or her potential with 
dignity’ guides our partnerships with and 
services to communities. In keeping with 
this, we undertook an extensive exercise 
to understand the perceptions of the 
communities we would serve for the  
next 10 years. 

This exercise focusses particularly on: 
 ‐ How societal vulnerability will evolve
 ‐ What the rights-based paradigm for the 

vulnerable will look like

 ‐ How social and environmental concerns 

will converge

 ‐ What will be the role of grassroots 

governance and leadership

 ‐ Where business skills and expertise can 

play a role in advancing societal well-being 

The rich insights we gathered rejuvenated 
our long-term development plan that has 
guided our Corporate Social Responsibility 
(CSR) strategy for the past couple of years. 
The views of communities are also prescient 
considering the outbreak of the pandemic 
towards the end of FY 2019-20.

We designed our CSR strategy around  
three objectives:

Actualise change models to address 
core development gaps in Jharkhand 
and Odisha, while being replicable at a 
national scale (through four signature 
programmes)

Enable significant and lasting 
improvement of communities staying 
close to our operating locations 
(through nine Proximate Community 
Development programmes) 

Embed a societal perspective in key 
business decisions as an enabler to 
ensuring community interests (through 
three key approaches)

To gain an independent perspective, we take 
into account the advice of many nationally 
reputed development experts who form 
our CSR Advisory Council to critically 
evaluate the strategy of our initiatives, their 
implementation and the impact they create. 
We have the privilege of partnering with 
some of India’s prominent organisations 
in the development space such as Tata 
Trusts, A Society for Promotion of Inclusive 
and Relevant Education (ASPIRE) and the 
American India Foundation, among others.

We leverage technology that has a direct 
impact on development outcomes, for 
example, a digital app that tracks high-risk 
pregnancies and infants on a real-time 
basis. The app enables swift action by 
community health workers. The Data, 
Evaluation, Learning, Technology and 
Analysis (DELTA) digital system of Tata Trusts 
uses community volunteers to map the entire 
population along the route, connecting Tata 
Steel’s primary manufacturing facilities at 
Jamshedpur and Kalinganagar. 

In a pro-active response to the pandemic’s 
advance in India, we have been spearheading 
a deep-dive into both the urban and rural 
communities in Jharkhand and Odisha since 
late March 2020 under a ten-point agenda, 
#CombatCovid-19. It includes provision  
of food and dry rations with hygiene  
kits to vulnerable communities, enabling 
income-generation opportunities,  
co-ordinating volunteer assistance to assuage 
the anxieties of citizens in light of uncertainty, 
supporting migrant labour across India to 
connect with their families besides provision 
of relief materials, and creating market 
linkages for farmers to ensure their crops get 
a fair price amid the lockdown. 

We are also contributing to creating 
additional public healthcare capacities in 
some operating districts to aid communities 
and the state to battle this health crisis. 
Meanwhile, we are honouring our 

commitment to communities to improve access to healthcare services with particular focus on infants and pregnant women,  
school education for children, dropouts from mainstream education and critical support for livelihoods both to farming 
communities as well as to aspirants for skilled jobs from our operating geographies.

Tata Steel’s CSR has been recognised in several forums. We won the prestigious Dun & Bradstreet Corporate Award 2019 for the 
fifth consecutive year in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) category. Our Maternal and Newborn Survival Initiative (MANSI) 
was recognised at the 14th National Convention of United Nations Global Compact Network India in May 2019 and was accorded 
‘Honourable Mention’ at the National CSR Awards in October 2019. MANSI’s digital response system, ‘Operation Sunshine’ for 
health workers to address pregnant women and babies at high risk  was selected as State Innovation Intervention by the National 
Health Mission (NHM), Jharkhand and the poster was presented at the 6th National Summit on Good and Replicable Practices and 
Innovations in Public Healthcare System in India organised by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, in 
November 2019.

Compliance, Ethics and Sustainability  
ingrained in our governance

L E A D E R S H I P   I N   CO M P L I A N C E

At Tata Steel, we manage our businesses responsibly and in compliance with  
the statutory requirements of the locations in which we operate. 

We do not tolerate any violation of laws, 
codes of conduct or internal regulations. 
The Management is fully committed to 
compliance and the senior leaders serve as 
anchors and have a pivotal role to play in 
implementing the compliance interventions.

The compliance management framework 
is managed by the in-house compliance 
function. The function is headed by the 
Company Secretary and Chief Legal Officer 
(Corporate & Compliance), who is primarily 

responsible for overseeing and managing 
regulatory compliances.   The function 
is adequately staffed with compliance 
managers who are responsible for 
establishing business and industry-specific 
standards in all units across the organisation. 
Adherence to compliance obligations 
is among the subjects covered in audits 
by the Tata Steel Internal Audit function.  
Observations from such audits are placed 
before the Audit Committee and the  
Board of Directors.

CO R P O R AT E  E T H I C S

Ethical behaviour is intrinsic to the way we conduct our business. At Tata Steel, we are committed to complying with all 
regulatory laws and corporate governance guidelines, and adopting global best practices. The Tata Code of Conduct 
(TCoC) is a testament to our commitment towards shared values and principles, which is deployed through the 
Management of Business Ethics (MBE) framework. The framework is based on four pillars: 

Leadership 
Engagement

Compliance 
Structure

Communication 
and Training 

Measurement of 
Effectiveness

At the beginning of each year, objectives and strategies related to the MBE are set at the corporate level, which are then cascaded 
to divisions and departments, ensuring alignment across the organisation. An appropriate tone is set at the top, with the leaders as 
role models and effectively designed policies and robust processes playing a pivotal role in instilling ‘Values’ in our employees.  
Tata Steel won the World’s Most Ethical Companies award in 2020, an award instituted by Ethisphere Institute, for the 9th time.  

Leadership Engagement 
The governance structure of Tata Steel is 
an amalgamation of oversight of the Board, 
Management (through various committees) 
and the central Ethics team. It includes 
Departmental Ethics Coordinators (DECs) and 
Ethics Champions. The Chief Ethics Counsellor 
has the overall responsibility for driving MBE 
initiatives and reports to the CEO & MD, who 
is also the Principal Ethics Officer. Leadership 
engagement on topics such as sustainability, 
corporate social responsibility, corporate 
governance and membership in different 
industry bodies have helped the organisation 
augment its reputation at local, national and 
international levels.

Compliance Structure  
Tata Steel has established the standards of 
ethical conduct required of its stakeholders 
through TCoC procedures and other 
applicable guidelines and policies such as 
Whistle-blower Policy for Directors and 
Employees, Whistle-blower Policy for Business 
Associates, Whistle-blower Protection Policy 
for Business Associates, Gifts and Hospitality, 
and Conflict of Interest Policy for Employees 
and Prevention of Sexual Harassment Policy. 

S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y

Policies on Anti-Bribery Anti-Corruption 
(ABAC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) 
were released in November 2019. We have 
put in place an implementation framework 
through focussed classroom training as well 
as web-based training. All our policies are 
accessible through the ‘Ethics Compliance 
Register – DARPAN’ on the Company’s 
intranet as well as on the mobile app. 

Communication and Training  
For reinforcing TCoC and the policies  
related to it, a multi-year training and 
communication programme encompassing 
classroom and online sessions has been 
implemented. These programmes are 
customised to different platforms for suited 
target audience such as leadership team, 
employees, vendors and contract employees.

‘Ethics Month’ was organised on the theme, 
‘Integrity Matters’ in July 2019. Various events 
such as street plays for contract employees, 
sessions for business associates, round tables 
involving the senior leadership team, and 
town halls were conducted. Snippet story 
series, ‘Neeti Katha’ was released on key 
aspects of prevention of sexual harassment 
and travel policies.

Measurement of Effectiveness 
The effectiveness of the ethics programme  
is measured by the number of concerns 
reported, poll surveys, MBE survey, 
benchmarking exercises and internal  
MBE assessments.

 On  January  28,  2019,  T  S  Global  Holdings  Pte.  Ltd.  (‘TSGH’)  (an  indirect

stake  in  NatSteel  Holdings  Pte.  Ltd.  (‘NSH’)  and  Tata  Steel  (Thailand) 
Public  Company  Ltd.  (‘TSTH’).  During  the  year  under  review,  TSGH 
decided not to pursue the proposed transaction with HBIS, for want of 
regulatory approvals.

 As  on  March  31,  2020,  active  discussions  and  engagement  with  other 
potential  buyer(s)  demonstrate  that  the  Management  of  the  Group  is 
committed to sell the disposal group and there is an active programme for 
completing the sale.

 In  accordance  with  Ind  AS  105,  “Non-current  Assets  Held  for  Sale  and

B. Integrated Report
 In  keeping  with  the  Company’s  valued  tradition  of  “thinking  about 
society  and  not  just  the  business”,  in  2016,  we  transitioned  from 
compliance-based  reporting  to  governance-based  reporting  by 
adopting  the    framework  developed  by  the  International 
Integrated Reporting Council.

 We  present  to  you  our  5th  Integrated  Report  which  highlights 
the  measures  taken  by  the  Company  that  contribute  to  long-term 
sustainability  and  value  creation,  while  embracing  different  skills, 
continuous  innovation,  sustainable  growth,  and  a  better  quality  
of life.

C. Operations and Performance

1. Tata Steel Group

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Tata  Steel  Group  (‘the  Group’) 
recorded  total  deliveries  of  26.68  MnT  (previous  year:  26.80  MnT).  
The  steel  deliveries  decreased  at  Tata  Steel  Limited  by  2.9%  and 
at  Tata  Steel  Europe  by  4%.  This  decrease  was  off-set  by  higher 

deliveries at Tata Steel BSL Limited (‘TSBSL’) by 16%. The increase 
at TSBSL is due to ramp-up of operations. Further, in the previous 
Financial  Year  2018-19,  deliveries  prior  to  the  acquisition  of  TSBSL 
on May 18, 2018 under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code were not 
included.  Further,  the  acquisition  of  the  steel  business  of  Usha 
Martin  Limited  by  Tata  Steel  Long  Products  Limited    (‘TSLP’) 
(formerly Tata Sponge Iron Limited) on April 9, 2019, also increased 
the total deliveries of the Group by 0.51 MnT. The turnover for the 
Group  was  at  `1,39,817  crore  during  the  Financial  Year  2019-20 
(previous year: `1,57,669 crore), a decrease of 11% over the previous 
year  due  to  decline  in  realisations  across  geographies  along  with 
lower  deliveries.  Further,  the  EBITDA  for  the  Group  was  `17,735 
crore  during  the  Financial  Year  2019-20  as  compared  to  `29,770 
crore in the previous year. 

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Group  reported  a  consolidated 
profit after tax (including discontinued operations) of `1,172 crore as 
against a profit of `9,098 crore in the previous year. The decrease was 
mainly due to lower operating profits attributable to decline in the 
steel prices during the year, higher exceptional charge, partly offset 
by  lower  tax  expenses  primarily  on  account  of  re-measurement  of 
deferred  tax  liabilities  based  on  the  new  lower  rate  of  Income  tax 
prescribed under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act,1961, along 
with creation of deferred tax assets at some of its foreign entities.

2. India

 During the year under review, total deliveries at Tata Steel Limited 
(Standalone)  were  at  12.32  MnT  (previous  year:  12.69  MnT), 
recording a decrease of 2.9% over the previous year. Turnover was  
`60,436  crore  (previous  year:  `70,611  crore),  decrease  of  14.4% 
than  that  of  the  previous  year.  EBITDA  from  Tata  Steel  Limited 
(Standalone) was `15,096 crore (previous year: `20,744 crore), 27.2% 
lower than that of the previous year. 

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  crude  steel  production  in 
India  increased  by  8%  to  18.20  MnT  with  ramp  up  at  TSBSL  and 
acquisition of steel business of Usha Martin Limited by TSLP. TSBSL 
achieved  best  ever  crude  steel  production  and  sales  at  4.46  MnT 
and 4.14 MnT, respectively due to improved maintenance practices, 
higher  capacity  utilisations,  and  marketing  synergies.  TSLP  which 
acquired  steel  making  facility  of  Usha  Martin  Limited,  during  the 
year, achieved crude steel production of 0.58 MnT while deliveries 
stood at 0.51 MnT. 

 Total  deliveries  of  Tata  Steel  from  its  Indian  operations  (including 
TSBSL and TSLP) stood at 16.97 MnT i.e. 4% higher than the previous 
year. The turnover and EBITDA (excluding inter-company eliminations 
and adjustments) was `82,125 crore and `17,650 crore, respectively.

During the year under review, Sukinda Chromite mine and Gomardih 
Dolomite mine leases expired on March 31, 2020, as per the mining 
regulations . Tata Steel Mining Limited (formerly T S Alloys Limited), 
a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  has  won  the  Sukinda 
Chrome  ore  mines  in  the  auction  and  the  lease  grant  process  is 
underway.  Further,  Tata  Steel  Mining  Limited  also  signed  50  year 

88

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEARleases  for  Kamarda  and  Saruabil  Chrome  mines.  With  these  mines, 
Tata Steel Mining Limited is well placed to cater to its global customer 
base as well as requirements of the Group.

D. Key Developments 

Amalgamation and Joint Venture

3. Europe

 During the year under review, liquid steel production from European 
operations was 10.26 MnT (previous year: 10.31 MnT). Deliveries from 
European operations decreased by 4% to 9.29 MnT primarily due to 
overall  weakness  in  economic  activities.  Turnover  from  operations 
was  `55,939  crore  (previous  year:  `64,777  crore).  The  decrease  in 
turnover was primarily due to sharp decline in European steel prices 
and lower deliveries, resulting in loss of `664 crore at the EBITDA level. 

 The Company is committed to make its European operations simpler, 
leaner, and sustainable. It has launched a transformation programme 
to generate savings across multiple initiatives.

4. Impact of COVID-19

 The  outbreak  of  COVID-19  pandemic  has  led  to  an  unprecedented 
health  crisis  and  has  disrupted  economic  activities  and  global  trade 
while  weighing  on  consumer  sentiments.  Consequently,  the  global 
steel demand is expected to be sharply lower in 2020.

 The  Government  of  India  had  imposed  a  stringent  nationwide 
lockdown  with  effect  from  March  25,  2020  which  has  severely 
impacted  manufacturing  activities.  Though  the  Steel  and  Mining 
sectors  were  exempt  from  the  lockdown  measures,  they  were 
subject  to  certain  guidelines.  Steel  demand  was  affected  as  key 
steel  consuming  sectors  struggled  to  operate  amidst  weakening 
economic  activities,  working  capital  constraints,  shortage  of 
manpower, and logistical issues. 

In  Europe,  the  outbreak  of  COVID-19  has  further  accentuated 
the  sustained  weak  steel  demand.  The  share  of  steel  imports  to 
total  consumption  in  the  European  Union  continues  to  remain  at 
elevated levels which is a cause of concern. 

 The  risk-intelligent  culture  embedded  across  the  Company  has 
helped  in  developing  and  adopting  a  multi-pronged  strategy  to 
effectively  respond  to  the  evolving  pandemic  situation.  The  health 
and  safety  of  our  employees  and  the  communities  in  which  we 
operate continues to be the foremost priority of the Company. The 
Company is focussed on running operations safely and efficiently to 
service  our  customers.  The  operations  have  been  aligned  with  the 
prevailing market conditions by reducing upstream operations while 
curtailing  downstream  operations.  Cross-functional  teams  worked 
to  manage  supply  chain  and  logistics  issues  within  the  constraints 
imposed  by  the  lockdown  to  ensure  that  plant  could  operate  as 
planned. With domestic markets closed due to the lockdown, there 
was  a  shift  to  export  sales  which  were  ramped  up  sharply.  The 
Company is also focussed on liquidity management to face any future 
disruption  in  business  conditions.  Funds  were  raised  to  manage 
liquidity considering the heightened uncertainty over the extent of 
impact on underlying demand conditions.

 Amalgamation  of  Bamnipal  Steel  Limited  and  Tata  Steel  BSL 
Limited into and with Tata Steel Limited 

During the year under review, the Board of Directors of the Company, 
at its meeting held on April 25, 2019, approved the amalgamation of 
Bamnipal Steel Limited and Tata Steel BSL Limited, into and with the 
Company by way of a composite scheme of amalgamation.

The  Company  received  a  ‘no  objection’  to  the  scheme  from  the 
National  Stock  Exchange  of  India  Limited  and  BSE  Limited  on 
August  26,  2019  and  has  filed  an  application  before  the  National 
Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench for necessary directions. The 
amalgamation  is  subject  to  approval  from  shareholders  and  other 
regulatory authorities. 

Joint Venture between Tata Steel and thyssenkrupp AG

During the year under review, the Company and thyssenkrupp AG  
decided  not  to  pursue  the  proposed  transaction  to  form  a  joint 
venture to combine their steel businesses in Europe. The decision 
was taken after careful evaluation of the viability of the proposal in 
light of the feedback received from the European Commission ('EC'). 
Thereafter, on June 11, 2019, EC formally announced its decision to 
prohibit the proposed joint venture. 

Acquisitions & Investments

Refinancing at Tata Steel Netherlands

 During  the  year  under  review,  Tata  Steel  Netherlands  Holdings  B.V. 
(‘TSNHBV’),  an  indirect  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company, 
executed  agreements  for  the  refinancing  of  its  bank  debt.  TSNHBV 
has  raised  term  loan  facilities  of  EUR  1.75  billion.  This  represents  a 
reduction  of  EUR  500  million  versus  the  external  debt  outstanding 
in  Tata  Steel  Europe  as  of  March  2019,  enabling  the  standalone 
European  business  to  have  a  more  robust  balance  sheet  while  it  is 
also putting in significant efforts at restructuring and improving its 
operating performance.

indirect  subsidiary  of  the  Company  from  ‘B+'/Outlook:  Stable  to

 Similarly, in April 2020, Moody’s Investor Service (‘Moody’s’) revised 
the outlook for the Company’s Corporate Family Rating from Stable

also  revised  the  Corporate  Family  Rating  of  Tata  Steel  UK  Holdings 
Ltd. from ‘B2'/Outlook: Stable to ‘B3'/Outlook: Review for Downgrade. 
The  revision  was  also  triggered  in  anticipation  that  the  Company

E. Sustainability 
 The  Company  is  committed  to  steel  production  using  the  most 
efficient routes, minimising waste generation and mitigating impact 
on  natural  capital.  The  sustainability  approach  of  the  Company 
emphasises  integrated  thinking  and  balances  the  impact  and  
outcome  of  six  capitals  viz.  Financial,  Manufactured,  Intellectual, 
Human,  Social  and  Relationship,  and  Natural.  Aspirations  of  taking 
our carbon emissions to <2 tCO2/tcs, attaining zero waste, reducing 
specific water consumption to <3 m3/tcs, and doubling our CSR reach 
by 2025 are significant facets of this strategy. 

 New  initiatives  undertaken  by  the  Company  in  the  Financial  Year 
2019-20 find their genesis in our aspiration of minimising the carbon 
footprint. The Company undertook third party studies which helped 
in  identifying  a  renewable  energy  potential  of  ~180  MW  across 
locations. This will help the Company in increasing the proportion of 
the renewable energy in its power mix. 

 The  Company  is  a  signatory  to  the  Task  Force  of  Climate  Related 
Financial  Disclosure  for  climate  change  and  is  in  the  process  of 
identifying  transition  risks  to  decarbonise  its  operations  over 
a  period.  Several  transition  risks  and  opportunities  have  been 
identified  as  part  of  this  assessment.  Specific  mitigation  and 
contingency  plans  for  each  of  the  identified  risks  are  being 
integrated with Company’s long-term strategy. 

 The  Company  is  committed  to  serve  its  customers  through  a 
portfolio  of  eco-friendly  products  and  disclosure  of  the  impact 
of  the  products  on  environment  by  using  Life  Cycle  Assessment 
(‘LCA’)  methodology.  In  Europe,  almost  entire  product  range 
of  the  European  operations  is  certified  to  be  at  the  BES  6001 
sustainable  sourcing  standard.  During  the  year  under  review,  

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEARTata  Steel  Europe  received  a  ‘Steelie’  award  from  World  Steel 
Association  for  ‘Excellence  in  Life  Cycle  Assessment’  in  recognition 
of  its  development  of  a  sustainability  development  tool  for  use  in 
the new product development processes in its European operations.  
Tata  Steel  Europe  has  also  published  Environmental  Product 
Declarations  (‘EPD’),  setting  out  the  environmental  characteristics 
of  products  throughout  their  life-cycle,  for  a  large  number  of  its 
products manufactured in Europe. Further, the Company will strive 
to maintain its global leadership by publishing EPDs on an increased 
proportion of its global product offering.

 The Company identified supply chain sustainability as a key material 
issue  in  the  materiality  exercise  conducted  in  the  Financial  Year  
2018-19.  In  order  to  take  this  forward,  the  Tata  Steel  Responsible 
Supply Chain Policy was adopted in February 2020. The expectations 
with  respect  to  sustainability  from  supply  chain  partners,  viz. 
vendors, Steel Processing Centres and distributors, as well as the way 
the Company would engage with them on the subject have been laid 
down in the aforesaid policy. 

 In order to augment the effort of the Company towards conservation 
of  biodiversity  at  its  operational  sites,  the  Company  constituted  a 
Centre  of  Excellence  for  Biodiversity  Management  to  strategically 
formulate  and  implement  Biodiversity  Management  Plan.  During 
the  year  under  review,  more  than  4  lakh  trees  were  planted  across 
locations  using  eco-restoration  methodology  and  Miyawaki 
plantation techniques.

 The  continued  focus  on  ‘Sustainability’  has  helped  the  operations 
of the Company, in India as well as Europe, to be recognised as two 
of  the  six  Sustainability  Champions  by  World  Steel  Association  for 
three  consecutive  years.  Also,  the  Jamshedpur  Works  was  awarded 
the  ‘GreenCo  Star  Performer’  award  for  sustained  excellence  in 
environmental  management  and  the  Global  Wires  division  of  the 
Company was awarded the ‘GreenCo Gold Rating’ for excellence in 
environmental management, by the CII Green Business Centre.

Environment 

 The  Company  is  committed  to  responsible  use  and  protection  of 
environment through resource conservation, pollution control, and 
sustainable practices for waste management. The Company focusses 
on  operational  excellence  through  “Prevent,  Minimise,  Recover, 
Reuse and Recycle” approach. The Company continues its pursuit of 
establishing  best-in-class  facilities  and  channelising  its  investment 
to  upgrade  manufacturing  and  distribution  facilities  to  improve 
operational and environmental performance. 

 The  Company  has 
implemented  environmental  management 
systems in accordance with international standard ISO 14001, which 
provides  the  necessary  framework  for  managing  compliance  and 
improving  environmental  performance.  The  Company  maintains 
accredited laboratories for environmental performance assessment.

 The Safety, Health, & Environment Committee of the Board provides 
oversight  and  necessary  guidance  on  environmental  matters.  The 
Company  has  dedicated  Environment  Management  teams  at  all  its

Climate Change 

 Climate  change  is  one  of  the  most  pressing  issues  the  world  faces 
today  and  the  Company  recognises  its  obligation  to  work  towards 
mitigation  of  climate  change  related  risks  and  strives  to  address 
the  challenges  of  transitioning  to  a  lower  carbon  regime.  The 
Company firmly believes that, steel is an integral part of the solution 
for  transitioning  to  lower  carbon  economy  because  of  its  unique 
property of infinite recyclability. 

 The  Company  aspires  to  achieve  global  benchmark  levels  of  
< 2 tCO2/tcs emissions by 2025 for Indian operations and to become 
carbon  neutral  by  2050  in  Europe.  The  Company’s  site  in  IJmuiden 
in  the  Netherlands  is  one  of  the  most  carbon  efficient  integrated 
steelworks in the world while, the Company’s integrated steelworks 
at  Jamshedpur  is  the  most  efficient  steel  plant  in  India.  The 
Company  has  established  Energy  Efficiency  and  Carbon  Reduction 
programmes at all its Steel Plants in the Netherlands, UK, and India 
to  pursue  short-term  energy  efficiency  initiative  and  to  work  on  
long-term decarbonisation initiatives. The Research & Development 
team  is  collaborating  with  technology  companies  and  academia  to 
work on wide range technologies which, inter alia, includes carbon 
capture,  use  and  storage  (‘CCUS’),  hydrogen-based  steelmaking 
and  new  smelting  technologies.  The  Company  has  set  up  a  Steel 
Recycling business in an endeavour to bring good practices in Indian 
scrap market and make more scrap available for conversion to steel.

 The  Company  continues  to  work  on  developing  HIsarna,  a  new 
smelting  reduction  technology  to  produce  steel  without  the  need 
for  coke  making  or  agglomeration  processes,  thereby  improving 
efficiency, 
reducing  CO2 
emissions. The pilot plant is located at the Company’s IJmuiden site 
in the Netherlands. The Company is exploring to scale up HIsarna in 
India to pursue the development of a strategic roadmap to achieve 
quantum reduction over 2030 and 2050 horizons.

Health and Safety 

 Health  and  Safety  Management  remains  the  Company’s  foremost 
priority  and  we  are  committed  to  achieve  ‘Zero  Harm’  by  2025. 
In  pursuit  of  this  objective,  the  Company  has  been  working  on 
six  strategies  viz.  build  safety  leadership  capability  at  all  levels 
to  achieve  zero  harm,  achieve  zero  harm  to  contract  employees

across  India  covering  15,000  employees  and  contract  employees. 
In  order  to  develop  competency  in  first-aid  and  Cardiopulmonary 
resuscitation (CPR) ~7,600 employees were trained across India. High 
risk  cases  of  about  52%,  relating  to  life  style  diseases,  have  been 
transformed to moderate or low risk category. 

improve  the  health  and  safety  standards  of 

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  undertook  several 
its 
initiatives  to 
employees,  including  rolling  out  a  reward  and  recognition  policy 
for Indian operations to encourage positive safety behaviour among 
employees, commissioning a ‘safety leadership development centre’ 
to  enhance  the  competency  of  the  workforce  and  provide  safety 
induction  training,  and  establishing  ‘Tactical  Centre’  for  business 
continuity  management  during  emergency  situations.  Group 
companies  including  Tata  Steel  Europe  formed  HSE  Performance 
Improvement Teams to improve safety at workplace through learning 
and sharing of best practices.

 A  focussed  effort  was  also  made  to  improve  the  deployment  of 
competent  contract  workforce  in  high  hazard  operations.  For 
effective 
learning  and  deployment  of  Safety  Standard  across 
organisation,  ten  Safety  Standards  were  simplified  and  e-learning 
modules were developed. 

 Contractor employee’s fatality remains the topmost safety concern 
for the Company. It is with deep regret that the Company reports 
three fatalities in India involving our contractor partners. During the 
year under review, three distinct Safety campaigns viz. ‘Zero Harm’, 
ECAUP  (Elimination  of  Commonly  Accepted  Unsafe  Practice)  and 
‘Fall  from  Height’  were  launched  across  locations  to  address  gaps 
and improve safety awareness. Monthly review of red risk incidents 
by  the  Senior  Leadership  helped  in  achieving  ~44%  reduction 
of  high  potential  incidents  vis-à-vis  previous  year.  Further,  the 
initiative  to  roll  out  Process  Safety  through  ‘Centre  of  Excellence’ 
methodology gained momentum. Currently, the process safety has 
been  rolled  out  to  46  departments  and  the  balance  departments 
will be covered in the Financial Year 2020-21. The Company has been 
awarded for the best practice on ‘Managing Process Safety Critical 
Equipment  for  Barrier  Effectiveness’  at  the  World  Steel  Safety  and 
Health Recognition function held at Mexico in 2019. 

 The  Company  is  leveraging  digital  technology  through  usage  of 
Smart Safety Wearable’ developed in-house, in collaboration with 
Tata  Communications,  for  online  tracking  of  health  parameters  of 
workers  who  are  in  isolated  workplaces  at  Jamshedpur.  In  order 
to  improve  safe  behaviour  on  road,  a  video  analytic  system  was 
installed  at  Jamshedpur  including  the  first  Automatic  Number 
Plate  Recognition  (‘ANPR’)  system.  Further  to  strengthen  CCTV 
visualisation,  local  command  centres  were  established  across 
various locations.

 Towards  Occupational  Health,  the  Company  has  implemented 
Industrial Hygiene hazard control measures to minimise the exposure 
level  at  Jamshedpur.  Theme  based  health  awareness  campaigns 
on heat stress, hypertension, diabetes,  and  obesity  were  organised 

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  has  also  undertaken 
other  initiatives  such  as  leadership  coaching  and  site  interventions 
at both integrated sites, putting in place new governance and review 
structures,  accelerating  the  deployment  of  standards  and  codes 
of  practices  around  coil  banding,  and  initiative  towards  a  more 
digital  approach  to  support  site  health  and  safety  teams  and  the 
development of management systems in line with ISO 45001.

 At  Tata  Steel  Europe,  Health  and  safety  continues  to  be  of  utmost 
priority. It is with deep regret that the Company reports two fatalities 
in Europe during the year. In consultation with the senior leadership, 
several measures including a health and safety transformation plan 
which focusses upon five key areas viz. transformational leadership, 
collaborative  development  and  deployment,  digitally  enabled, 
company  wide  support,  standards  and  integration,  and  workforce 
engagement, have been developed.

Research and Development 

 In  line  with  the  aspiration  to  be  amongst  the  top  five  innovation 
driven  steel  companies  globally,  the  Company  has  ushered  in 
Technology Leadership Areas (‘TLAs’). Cross-functional teams have 
been  constituted  and  projects  have  commenced  based  on  TLAs. 
During the year under review, the Research and Development (‘R&D’) 
conducted by the Company has demonstrated a process at lab scale 
for  rapid  heating  of  non-coking  coal  to  coke,  through  microwave 
energy.  The  Company  also  targets  to  upscale  the  technology  for 
continuous coke making. Further, with an aim to create ‘Value from 
Waste’,  the  Company  established  a  process  for  using  water-cooled 
and  air-cooled  ferrochrome  slag  material  in  applications  such  as 
bitumen road, concrete, and fly ash slag bricks. 

 Conservation  of  the  environment  and  sustainability  has  always 
been  an  important  area  for  the  Company.  Accordingly,  the 
Company  has  installed  a  pilot  plant  of  the  scale  5  Tonnes  per 
Day  (TPD)  at  one  of  our  steelmaking  plants  to  capture  CO2  from 
Blast  Furnace  gas.  Further,  the  Company  has  also  developed 
an  advance  oxidation  process  for  cyanide  removal  and  the 
fabrication and installation of the commercial plant of the capacity  
@  100  m3/hr  is  under  progress.  Amongst  the  notable  customer 
collaborations,  the  Company  has  worked  jointly  with  a  leading 
automotive  player  in  designing  the  tipper  body  using  a  new 
grade  of  high  strength  steel  which  has  resulted  in  reduction  of 
the  weight  of  the  tipper  body  by  200  kg  without  compromising 
on its strength.

 In  Europe,  R&D  has  contributed  to  various  new  products  and 
implementation  of  new  process  control  models  and  other  process 
improvements.  The  Company  has  introduced  the  Valast  range

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEARof  abrasion  resistant  grades,  the  new  Cr6+  free  TCCT  (Trivalent 
Chromium Coating Technology) as replacement for ECCS (Electrolytic 
Chrome  Coated  Steel)  and  CFPA  (Chromium  Free  Passivation 
Alternative)  products  for  packaging,  and  MagiZinc  full  finish. 
The  Company  also  worked  towards  continuously  optimising  coal 
blending, improving safety and preventing damage by prediction of 
coiling through a new model CISCA (Cooling Induced Shape Change 
Algorithm),  and  automatically  detecting  of  stickers  in  the  casters 
at  an  early  stage.  Further,  R&D  has  also  been  vital  in  getting  many 
potential new products to reach higher Technology Readiness Levels 
throughout the year and to support the customer interactions on a 
technical level.

 R&D  continues  to  help  the  Company  in  its  drive  to  become  more 
sustainable  and  environmentally  friendly.  The  HIsarna  project  has 
demonstrated its potential to solve certain issues faced by the steel 
industry  in  dealing  with  circularity  and  climate  change.  R&D  will 
continue to support this development and be heavily involved in the 
technical discussions for upscaling the process in India and IJmuiden.

each 
Independent  Director  and  the  Chairman  of  NRC  had

to  obtain  Directors’ 
Committee processes.

Non-Independent Directors, the Board as a whole, and the Chairman 
of  the  Company  was  evaluated,  taking  into  account  the  views  of 
Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. 

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  reviewed  the 
performance of the individual directors and the Board as a whole. 

In the Board meeting that followed the meeting of the independent 
directors  and  the  meeting  of  Nomination  and  Remuneration 
Committee,  the  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees,  and 
individual directors was discussed. 

 The  evaluation  process  endorsed  the  Board  Members’  confidence 
in the ethical standards of the Company, the resilience of the Board 
and the Management in navigating the Company during challenging 
times,  cohesiveness  amongst  the  Board  Members,  constructive 
relationship  between  the  Board  and  the  Management,  and  the 
openness  of  the  Management  in  sharing  strategic  information 
to  enable  Board  Members  to  discharge  their  responsibilities  and 
fiduciary duties. 

 In  the  coming  year,  the  Board  intends  to  enhance  focus  on 
sustainability and digital interventions.

Internal Control Systems

The  Company’s  internal  control  systems  are  commensurate  with 
the nature of its business, the size, and complexity of its operations 
and  such  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  the  Financial 
Statements are adequate.

Risk Management 

The  Enterprise  Risk  Management  (‘ERM’)  process,  which  is  based 
on 
international  standards  such  as  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organisation of the Treadway Commission (‘COSO’) and ISO 31000, 
is  an  integral  part  of  the  Company’s  strategy.  The  ERM  framework 
includes  identification  of  risks  and  risk  owners  for  regular  tracking, 
mitigation,  and  reporting  of  risks  to  help  the  Company  meet  its 
business  objectives.  Communication  and  training  is  an  essential 
part  of  the  framework.  The  framework  also  requires  an  integrated 
approach towards managing risks. 

 Risk  governance  is  driven  by  the  Board  of  Directors  through  the 
Risk  Management  Committee  (‘RMC’)  of  the  Board.  The  RMC  is 
responsible  for  reviewing  and  strengthening  the  risk  management 
policies and processes adopted by the Company. It also reviews the 
potential risks facing the Company and the progress of the mitigation 
plans. The Company has also set up a management committee called 
the  Group  Risk  Review  Committee  (‘GRRC’)  which  is  responsible 
for  the  implementation  of  ERM  process  across  the  Company.  
The  GRRC  is  focussed  on  enhancing  the  risk  culture  within  the 
Company  and  driving  the  mitigation  of  identified  risks  in  an 
optimal manner.

 A  dedicated  ERM  team  has  been  set  up  to  ensure  deployment  of 
the ERM process across the organisation, including Tata Steel Group 
Companies. The ERM team is led by Group Head – Corporate Finance 
& Risk Management who acts as the Chief Risk Officer (‘CRO’) of the 
Company. The CRO regularly reports to the RMC and the GRRC on the 
progress of the implementation of ERM and the status of the potential 
risks based on the assessment of risks and the mitigation strategies.

 The Company has adopted a bottom up and top-down approach to 
drive enterprise risk management. The bottom-up process includes 
identification and regular assessment of risks by respective business 
units and cross-functional teams across the Company and planning of 
mitigation strategies in a structured manner. This is complemented by 
a top-down approach where the senior management identifies and 
assesses long-term, strategic and macro risks for the Company. Risks 

97

Corporate Overview    02Strategic Review    46Performance Review    20Statutory Reports    84Our Strategy    28Financial Statements    206are consolidated under major risk themes at the organisational level 
to  create  focus  areas  and  prioritise  mitigation  strategies.  The  ERM 
process  is  integrated  with  core  processes  such  as  Corporate  Audit, 
Corporate  Strategy  and  Planning,  and  Capital  Allocation.  Regular 
training  and  communication  is  carried  out  across  the  Company 
to  develop  a  uniform  understanding  of  the  risk  process  and  risk 
terminology. An in-house built IT system has been deployed across 
the organisation to enable recording and review of risks through live 
dashboards and real-time monitoring of data. The ERM process has 
matured over the years and is today embedded across the Company.

 Over the years, Tata Steel has made significant progress in its journey 
towards risk intelligence. We are pleased to report that the Company 
has  been  adjudged  ‘Firm  of  the  Year  -  Metals  &  Mining’  at  the  6th 
CNBC-TV18 India Risk Management Awards.

Vigil Mechanism 

 The Company has a Vigil Mechanism that provides a formal channel 
for  all  its  Directors,  employees,  and  vendors  to  approach  the  
Chairman  of  the  Audit  Committee  and  make  protected  disclosures 
about the unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or violation 
of  the  Tata  Code  of  Conduct  (‘TCoC’).  No  person  is  denied  access 
to  the  Chairman  of  the  Audit  Committee.  In  addition,  Directors, 
employees, and vendors, may approach the Chief Ethics Counsellor 
to make any such protected disclosure.

 The Vigil Mechanism includes policies viz. the Whistle-blower Policy 
for  Directors  &  Employees,  the  Whistle-blower  Policy  for  Business 
Associates,  the  Whistle-blower  Protection  Policy  for  Business 
Associates  (vendors/customers),  the  Policy  for  Receipts  of  Gift 
and  Hospitality,  the  Conflict  of  Interest  Policy  for  Employees,  the 
Anti-Bribery  &  Anti-Corruption  (‘ABAC’)  policy,  and  Anti-Money 
Laundering (‘AML’) policy. 

 The Whistle-blower Policies for Directors & Employees and Business 
Associates  are  an  extension  of  the  TCoC  that  encourage  every 
Director,  employee,  and  Business  Associate  to  promptly  report  any 
actual or possible violation of the TCoC or any event that he or she 
becomes  aware  of  that  could  affect  the  business  or  reputation  of 
the  Company.  During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  revised 
the  Whistle-blower  policy  for  Directors  and  Employees  to  include 
‘reporting of incidents of leak or suspected leak of Unpublished Price 
Sensitive  Information  (UPSI)’  as  required  in  terms  of  the  provisions 
of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider 
Trading) Regulations, 2015, as amended.

 The  Whistle-blower  Protection  Policy  for  Business  Associates  
including  vendors  and  customers  provides  protection  to  Business 
Associates  from  any  victimisation  or  unfair  trade  practices  by  the  
Company.

 During the year under review, ABAC and AML policies were adopted. 
The key elements of the policies are risk assessment, third party due 
diligence, training & awareness, and audit & reporting. 

98

 The Policy for Receipts of Gift and Hospitality requires its employees 
to take the right decisions when they are offered gifts or hospitality 
while  conducting  business  or  official  transactions  on  behalf  of  the 
Company. The Policy is in consonance with ABAC and AML policies. 

 The  Company  has  also  adopted  a  Conflict  of  Interest  policy  that 
requires employees to act in the best interest of the Company without 
any conflicts and declare conflicts, if any (real, potential or perceived). 

for  
 The  Whistle-blower  Reward  and  Recognition  Guidelines 
employees  has  been 
implemented  to  encourage  employees 
to  genuinely  blow  the  whistle  on  any  misconduct  or  unethical 
activity  taking  place  in  the  Company.  The  disclosures  reported  are 
addressed  in  the  manner  and  within  the  time  frames  prescribed  in 
the Whistle-blower Policy.

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  undertook  a  series  of 
communication  and  training  programmes  for  internal  stakeholders 
and  vendors,  with  the  aim  to  create  awareness  amongst  them 
about  the  Company’s  values,  TCoC  and  other  ethical  practices  of 
the  Company.  An  e-learning  module  on  ABAC  Policy  was  launched 
by the Company in February, 2020 to sensitise the employees on the 
relevant laws and policies. The Company also introduced a structured 
yet  informal  platform  “Stay  in  Touch”  for  its  employees  to  interact 
with Chief Ethics Counsellor to understand the issues and integrate 
employees with the Company’s Culture through an open discussion. 
The Company also undertook various theme based campaigns, town 
hall, and departmental events. ‘Neeti Katha’ i.e. story-telling through 
snippet series on scenarios of ‘The ethics of travel’ and ‘Prevention 
of  Sexual  Harassment’  were  mailed  to  employees  as  part  of  the 
awareness campaign. The Company also celebrates the month of July 
as Ethics Month with all communication and programmes centered 
around  the  theme  “Integrity  Matters”.  This  practice  has  helped  in 
reinforcing  employee  involvement  in  driving  the  Management  of 
Business Ethics.

 The  Company  has  developed  a  robust  system  to  raise  concerns  on 
unethical  behaviour,  taken  efforts  to  make  stakeholders  aware  of 
such systems as well as of their responsibility to report such concerns 
and practice non-retaliation. The strong mechanism to address such 
concerns instills in our stakeholders the confidence to report ethical 
violations. The Company has also leveraged digitalisation for training 
and  communication,  thereby  resulting  in  greater  clarity  on  the 
subject and system amongst the stakeholders.

 The  Company  takes  pride  in  winning  the  World’s  Most  Ethical 
Companies (‘WME’) award for the 9th time. 

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  received  881  
whistle-blower  complaints  of  which  as  on  March  31,  2020,  602 
complaints  were  investigated  and  appropriate  actions  were  taken 
and investigations were underway for the remaining 279 complaints.

1.  Preamble
1.1 

 The Dividend Distribution Policy (hereinafter referred to as the 
‘Policy’)  has  been  developed  in  accordance  with  the  extant 
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI regulations. 

1.2 

1.3 

 The  Board  of  Directors  (the  ‘Board’)  of  Tata  Steel  Limited 
(the  ‘Company’)  has  adopted  the  Policy  of  the  Company 
as  required  in  terms  of  Regulation  43A  of  the  SEBI  (Listing 
Obligations  and  Disclosure  Requirements)  Regulations,  2015  
(the 
its  meeting  held  on 
April 20, 2017.

‘Listing  Regulations’)  at 

 Under  Section  2(35)  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013,  “Dividend” 
includes any interim dividend. In common parlance, “dividend” 
means  the  profit  of  a  company,  which  is  not  retained  in 
the  business  and  is  distributed  among  the  shareholders  in 
proportion to the amount paid-up on the shares held by them. 
In  case  of  listed  companies,  Section  24  of  the  Companies 
Act,  2013  confers  on  SEBI,  the  power  of  administration  of  the 
provisions pertaining to non-payment of dividend.

2.  Effective Date

 The Policy shall become effective from the date of its adoption 
by the Board i.e. April 20, 2017.

3.  Purpose, Objectives and Scope
3.1 

 The  Securities  and  Exchange  Board  of  India  (“SEBI”)  vide 
its  Gazette  Notification  dated  July  8,  2016  has  amended  the 
Listing  Regulations  by  inserting  Regulation  43A  in  order  to 
make  it  mandatory  to  have  a  Dividend  Distribution  Policy  in 
place by the top five hundred listed companies based on their 
market  capitalisation  calculated  as  on  the  31st  day  of  March 
of every year. 

3.2 

 As the Company is one of the top five hundred companies as 
on March 31, 2016, the Board has laid down a broad framework 
for distribution of dividend to its shareholders and/or retaining 
or  plough  back  of  its  profits.  The  Policy  also  sets  out  the 
circumstances  and  different  factors  for  consideration  by  the 
Board at the time of taking such decisions of distribution or of 
retention of profits, in the interest of providing transparency to 
the shareholders.

3.3 

 Declaration of dividend on the basis of parameters in addition 
to  the  elements  of  this  Policy  or  resulting  in  amendment  of 
any  element  or  the  Policy  will  be  regarded  as  deviation.  Any 
such  deviation  on  elements  of  this  Policy  in  extraordinary 
circumstances,  when  deemed  necessary  in  the  interests  of 

102

the Company, along with the rationale will be disclosed in the 
Annual Report by the Board.

3.4 

 The  Policy  reflects  the  intent  of  the  Company  to  reward  its 
shareholders by sharing a portion of its profits after retaining 
sufficient funds for growth of the Company. The Company shall 
pursue  this  Policy,  to  pay,  subject  to  the  circumstances  and 
factors  enlisted  hereon,  progressive  dividend,  which  shall  be 
consistent with the performance of the Company over the years.

cannot  generate  adequate  operating  cash  flow,  it  may 
need  to  rely  on  outside  funding  to  meet  its  financial 
obligations  and  sometimes  to  run  the  day-to-day 
operations.  The  Board  will  consider  the  same  before  its 
decision whether to declare dividend or retain its profits. 

 Return on invested capital: The efficiency with which the 
Company uses its capital. 

the 
 Cost  of  borrowings:  The  Board  will  analyse 
requirement  of  necessary 
the

undertaken  by  the  Company  and  the  viability  of  the 
raising  funds  from  alternative  sources  vis-à-vis  plough 
back its own funds. 

 Obligations  to  lenders:  The  Company  should  be  able  to 
repay  its  debt  obligations  without  much  difficulty  over 
a  reasonable  period  of  time.  Considering  the  volume 
of  such  obligations  and  time  period  of  repayment,  the 
decision of dividend declaration shall be taken. 

 Inadequacy  of  profits:  If  during  any  Financial  Year,  the 
Board  determines  that  the  profits  of  the  Company 
are  inadequate,  the  Board  may  decide  not  to  declare 
dividends for that Financial Year. 

 Post dividend EPS: The post dividend EPS can have strong 
impact  on  the  funds  of  the  Company,  thus,  impacting 
the overall operations on day-to-day basis and therefore,

part  of  the  profits  to  have  sufficient  reserves  to  meet  the 
exigency during unforeseen circumstances.

•  Cost  of  raising  funds  from  alternative  sources:  If  the

Management Discussion and Analysis

I. Overview
The  objective  of  this  report  is  to  convey  the  Management’s 
perspective  on  the  external  environment  and  steel  industry,  as 
well  as  strategy,  operating  and  financial  performance,  material 
developments in human resources and industrial relations, risks and 
opportunities, and internal control systems and their adequacy in the 
Company  during  the  Financial  Year  2019-20.  This  should  be  read  in 
conjunction with the Company’s financial statements, the schedules 
and  notes  thereto  and  other  information  included  elsewhere  in 
the  Integrated  Report.  The  Company’s  financial  statements  have 
been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Indian  Accounting  Standards  
(‘Ind  AS’)  complying  with  the  requirements  of  the  Companies  Act, 
2013,  as  amended  and  regulations  issued  by  the  Securities  and 
Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) from time to time.

Your  attention  is  also  drawn  to  sections  on  Opportunities,  Risks 
and Strategy Planning forming part of the Integrated Report. 

II. External Environment

1. Macroeconomic Condition

 With  continued  weakness  in  global  trade  and  investment,  global 
growth  slumped  to  2.9%  in  2019,  leading  to  varying  degrees  of 
deceleration  in  economies  around  the  globe.  Rising  geopolitical 
tensions,  worsening  trade  relations  among  some  nations,  trade 
policy  uncertainties,  and  stress  in  key  emerging  market  economies 
continued  to  impact  global  economic  activity.  Intensifying  social 
unrest  in  several  countries  and  weather-related  disasters  also 
contributed to declining global economic activity.

 Growth in the advanced economies slowed down to 1.7% in 2019 as 
compared to 2.2% in 2018. The US economy slowed to 2.3% in 2019 
on  account  of  rising  geopolitical  tensions  and  policy  uncertainty. 
Growth  in  the  European  region  also  slowed  to  1.2%  in  2019.  The 
industrial  sector  in  Germany  struggled  with  lower  demand  from 
Asia and disruptions to car production. Uncertainty related to Brexit 
also  weighed  on  growth  in  the  European  region.  Growth  in  Japan 
was  at  0.7%  owing  to  the  impact  of  Typhoon  Hagibis,  increase  in  
value-added  tax,  and  overall  slowdown  in  manufacturing  and  
exports  –  particularly  those  to  China.  Growth  in  China  dropped 
to  6.1%  in  2019  owing  to  lower  investor  sentiment  and  cooling 
domestic demand.

 In  India,  growth  slowed  down  to  4.2%  in  2019.  This  economic 
slowdown  can  be  attributed  to  weak  investments  and  declining 
consumer  demand.  Further,  several  sectors  such  as  real  estate, 
aviation, automobile, and construction sectors suffered a consistent 
decline  in  demand.  The  banking  sector  and  financial  services  also 
witnessed significant pressure of non-performing assets.

 Overall, 
increasing  trade  tensions,  worsening  financial  market 
sentiments, intense social unrest across many countries, and sluggish 
economic growth led to slowdown in global economy.

2. Economic Outlook 

 In  view  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  there  remains  considerable 
uncertainty around the global economic forecast for 2020. According 
to  the  International  Monetary  Fund  (‘IMF’),  global  economy  is 
projected to contract sharply by 4.9% in 2020, surpassing the decline 
seen during the global financial crisis a decade ago. Stark differences 
will  be  observed  between  impact  of  the  pandemic  on  advanced 
economies, and emerging markets and developing economies owing 
to differences in governance capacity, health care systems, strength 
of financial institutions, and currency strength.

Growth  is  expected  to  be  slower  in  most  advanced  economies. 
Countries  in  the  emerging  market  and  developing  economies  will 
also  witness  a  slump  in  growth  due  to  external  demand  shock, 
tightening in global financial conditions, and a plunge in commodity 
prices. In China, where recovery from the sharp contraction in the first 
quarter is underway, growth is projected at 1% in 2020, supported in 
part by policy stimulus. The IMF projects a partial recovery in 2021, 
however, the level of GDP growth is expected to remain below the 
pre-COVID-19 trend, with uncertainty about strength of the rebound.

 India’s  economy  in  the  Financial  Year  2020-21  is  projected  to  grow  
at a slower pace following a longer period of lockdown and slower rate 
of recovery than anticipated. Effective policies and fiscal measures by 
the Government will be essential to forestall contraction of growth.

III. Steel Industry 

1. Global Steel Industry 

 Global  crude  steel  production  in  2019  saw  a  growth  of  3.4%  over 
2018  to  reach  1,869.69  MnT.  This  increase  was  primarily  due  to  the 
growth  in  steel  consumption  in  infrastructure,  manufacturing,  and 
equipment sectors. The automotive production trended down across 
most countries over the second half of 2019 which had an impact on 
the steel demand towards the end of the year.

 China continued to be the world’s largest steel producer with increase 
in production by 8.3% to reach 996 MnT. China contributed to 53% 
of  the  global  crude  steel  production  in  2019.  While  steel  demand 
remained  relatively  strong,  the  country  faced  significant  downside 
risks  due  to  broader  global  uncertainty  and  tighter  environmental 
regulations.  In  United  States,  crude  steel  production  went  up  to  
88  MnT,  recording  an  increase  of  1.5%  over  2018,  owing  to  lower 
global  automotive  production  and  prevailing  trade  tensions.  In 
Japan,  steel  consumption  declined  largely  due  to  a  slowdown  in 
manufacturing during 2019. The country produced 99 MnT of crude 

105

Corporate Overview    02Strategic Review    46Performance Review    20Statutory Reports    84Our Strategy    28Financial Statements    206steel last year, a decrease of 4.8% compared to 2018. In Europe, crude 
steel production slumped to 159 MnT in 2019, recording a decrease 
of 4.9% over 2018. The decrease was on account of challenges faced 
with oversupply and trade tensions. 

to  reduce  significantly  with  consumers  deferring  discretionary 
spends in the near term. Effective government stimulus and return 
of consumer confidence is likely to be the key driver for a gradual 
recovery over the second half of the Financial Year 2020-21.

 In  2019,  India  became  the  second  largest  crude  steel  producing 
country  in  the  world,  with  a  crude  steel  production  of  111  MnT,  an 
increase  of  1.8%  over  the  previous  year.  However,  the  growth  rate 
was  much  lower  compared  to  the  previous  year.  Growth  in  the 
construction  sector  weakened  due  to  falling  investments  in  fixed 
asset formation. Sharp fall in the private consumption led to weaker 
growth in automotive and consumer durables. The tighter liquidity 
conditions due to defaults in NBFC sector impacted credit availability. 
The  automotive  sector  was  also  impacted  by  factors  such  as  
regulatory  changes,  rise  in  ownership  cost,  and  shared  economy 
while,  the  capital  goods  sector  continued  to  remain  weak 
due  to  the  decreasing  output  and  stagnant  investment  in  the 
manufacturing sector.

2. Outlook for Steel Industry

 The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  severely  affected  economies  and 
industries globally and the steel industry is no exception. Therefore, 
outlook  for  the  steel  industry  includes  scenarios  regarding  the 
pandemic’s  speed  of  propagation,  possible  recurrence,  near-term 
impact  of  measures  being  taken  to  contain  the  outbreak,  and  the 
effectiveness  of  the  stimulus  announced  by  the  Governments  of 
various nations.

 After slower than expected growth in 2019, steel demand is estimated 
to contract significantly in the Financial Year 2020-21. According to the 
World Steel Association (‘WSA’), it is possible that the impact on steel 
demand in relation to the expected contraction in GDP may turn out 
to be less severe than that seen during the erstwhile global financial 
crisis. In comparison with other sectors, the manufacturing sector is 
expected  to  rebound  quicker  though  supply  chain  disruptions  are 
likely to continue.

 Most  of  the  steel  producing  regions  are  expected  to  witness  a 
decline in crude steel output due to production cuts amidst ongoing 
lockdowns. However, it is expected that compared to other countries, 
China will move faster towards normalisation of economic activity as it 
was the first country to come out of the COVID-19 crisis. Governments 
of  different  nations  have  announced  sizeable  stimulus  packages 
which are expected to favour steel consumption through investment 
in infrastructure and other incentives for the steel industry.

India  depends 

largely  on  migrant 

 In  India,  muted  demand  and  oversupply  is  likely  to  result  in 
suppressed  steel  prices  and  capacity  utlisation  in  the  near  term.  
Since 
labour,  restarting 
construction  and  infrastructure  projects  will  be  a  challenge. 
The  demand  from  infrastructure,  construction,  and  real  estate 
sectors is likely to be subdued in the first half of the Financial Year  
2020-21  due  to  the  lockdown  during  the  first  quarter  followed  by 
the  monsoons  during  the  second  quarter.  Further,  the  demand 
from  automobile,  white  goods,  and  capital  goods  sectors  is  likely

IV. Strategy 
 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  continued  to  focus  on 
operational  and  marketing  excellence  to  counter  adverse  business 
conditions.  The  Company  aspires  to  be  the  most  valuable  and 
respected  steel  company  in  the  world  for  which  it  has  taken  steps 
to  be  structurally,  financially,  and  culturally  future-ready.  The 
Company  continues  to  place  special  emphasis  on  strengthening 
its  financial  profile  to  enable  future  growth  and  to  achieve  volume 
growth  while  remaining  cost  competitive.  The  ongoing  integration 
and  improvement  initiatives  undertaken  at  Tata  Steel  BSL  Limited 
(formerly  Bhushan  Steel  Limited)  and  Tata  Steel  Long  Products 
Limited  (formerly  Tata  Sponge  Iron  Limited)  have  helped  to  unlock 
synergies  and  improve  cost  competitiveness  while  enhancing  the 
capacity  utilisation  of  the  production  units.  The  focus  on  driving 
digital transformation and greater efficiency through One IT and an 
integrated  supply  chain  structure  continue  to  unlock  value  for  the 
Company.  The  Services  and  Solutions  portfolio  and  New  Materials 
Business  (Graphene  &  Fibre  Reinforced  Polymer)  have  put  in  place 
the requisite enablers for the Company to scale up. 

 Building a culture of Agility and Innovation has been identified as an 
important lever to make the Company fit for the future. The Company 
has  taken  many  initiatives  to  inculcate  Agility  in  the  organisation 
through  experiments  on  agile  ways  of  working  in  new  businesses 
and  enabling  functions  in  core  businesses  along  with  process 
simplification.  The  learnings  from  the  experiments  will  be  used 
to  create  the  blueprint  for  organisation  wide  deployment  over  the 
next  couple  of  years.  During  the  year  under  review,  the  Innovation 
framework in the Company was strengthened by putting in place the 
required teams and governance structure.

 The  Company  has  made  significant  progress  in  Leadership  in 
technology,  a  key  aspect  of  the  Company’s  strategy.  Several 
Technology  Leadership  Areas  are  being  worked  upon  enabled  by 
creating required knowledge partnerships and leveraging the agility 
and  innovativeness  of  start-ups.  The  Company  has  made  progress 
towards imbibing Industry 4.0 and is the only steel company to have 
two digital lighthouses, as recognised by World Economic Forum.

to 

 Industry leadership in Steel: India is amongst the fastest growing 
steel markets in the world. In order to meet the increasing demand, the 
Company has expanded its operations organically and inorganically 
and  is  also  continuing  to  strengthen  its  long  products  portfolio 
to  participate  in  the  growing  market.  Towards  this  objective,  the 
Company  through  its  subsidiary,  Tata  Steel  Long  Products  Limited 

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEAR(formerly Tata Sponge Iron Limited), is focussed on ramping up the 
acquired  steel  business  of  Usha  Martin  Limited.  The  Company  also 
aspires  to  attain  a  leadership  position  in  new  segments  such  as 
Lifting  and  Excavation,  Oil  and  Gas,  Pre-Engineered  Buildings,  etc. 
and to maintain leadership position in segments such as Automotive, 
Emerging  Corporate  Accounts  (Small  and  Medium  Enterprises), 
Individual House Builders, amongst others. 

 Consolidate position as global cost leader: The Company aims to 
continue to be one of the lowest cost producers of steel in the world. 
Over the years, the Company has improved its operating parameters 
to reach global benchmark levels. Post acquisition of Tata Steel BSL 
Limited and steel business of Usha Martin Limited, focussed synergy 
programmes have been put in place to ensure horizontal deployment 
of  the  Company’s  process  capabilities  in  the  acquired  assets. 
Further,  during  the  year  under  review,  the  Company,  through  its  
Shikhar25  programme,  achieved  performance  improvements  of  
`4,298 crore (including `1,965 crore value protection initiatives). 

 Insulate  revenues  from  steel  cyclicality:  Steel  industry  is  cyclical 
in  nature.  In  order  to  insulate  revenues  from  steel  cyclicality,  the 
Company is focussing on the branded retail business and downstream 
product portfolio. The Company has embarked on building a Services 
&  Solutions  (‘S&S’)  business  which  offers  steel-based  solutions  for 
end user needs and which are seeing significant growth. Leveraging 
our  deep  knowledge  of  customer  needs  and  ability  to  execute  
insight-driven 
innovation,  we  believe  that  this  portfolio  will 
provide  a  significant  competitive  advantage  to  the  Company, 
contributing  to  20%  of  revenue  going  forward.  The  Company 
is  also  scaling  up  a  portfolio  of  offerings  in  materials  other  than  
steel  –  currently  focussing  on  Fibre  Reinforced  Polymer  and 
Graphene.  S&S  and  new  materials  businesses  will  provide  added 
impetus to the Company’s differentiated play and provide a unique 
growth opportunity.

 Industry  leader  in  Corporate  Social  Responsibility  and  Safety, 
Health  and  Environment:  As  one  of  the  leading  steel  producers 
in the world, the Company also aspires to be a leader in sustainable 
business  practices  in  the  industry.  Towards  this  objective,  the 
Company  is  taking  steps  to  reduce  its  environment  footprint.  
The  Company  has  entered  the  steel  scrap  recycling  business  to 
promote  sustainable  steel  making  and  to  create  a  formal  circular 
economy for steel. The first scrap recycling unit under this initiative is 
being developed in Rohtak, Haryana. The Company formed Carbon 
Impact  Centre  to  have  a  focussed  intervention  to  drive  low  carbon 
transition and initiatives and to achieving a goal of Carbon neutrality 
in the long-term. Initiatives are taken to reduce dependency on fossil 
fuel. The Company has also completed the phase 1 of feasibility study 
for  Renewable  potential  assessment  at  Jamshedpur,  Kalinganagar 
and  raw  material  locations.  On  the  longer  horizon,  the  Company 
continues to explore and invest in technologies involving sustainable 

production, storage and use of Hydrogen across the steel value chain, 
carbon capture, use and storage and HIsarna technology to reduce 
its  carbon  footprint.  The  Company  is  also  focussed  on  effective  
by-product management. 

 The Company also recognises the need to create a safe and healthy 
environment for all its employees and other stakeholders and desires 
to  be  an  industry  leader  in  the  Safety,  Health  &  Environment  and 
Corporate Social Responsibility (‘CSR’). This will be achieved through 
enhanced  focus  on  reducing  unsafe  incidents  at  the  workplace 
as  well  as  reducing  carbon  emissions  and  consumption  of  natural 
resources such as water. The Company will continue to deepen the 
engagement with communities, aiming to change many more lives 
through its CSR initiatives. 

 Strategic  enablers:  In  order  to  be  future-ready,  the  Company  is 
focussed  on  creating  an  organisation  culture  which  is  built  on  a 
strong foundation of agility and innovation. People are the key asset 
for  any  organisation  and  hence,  the  Company  continues  to  direct 
its  efforts  towards  building  a  future-ready,  engaged,  and  diverse 
workforce.  The  Company  is  also  focussed  on  investing  in  various 
digital initiatives, enabling new business models, and enhancing the 
digital  maturity  of  the  organisation.  A  structure  and  engagement 
mechanism for partnering with start-ups, academia, and other R&D 
organisations is set up and a team to monetise existing intellectual 
property owned by the Company is formed.

V. Operational Performance

1. Tata Steel Group

During  the  year  under  review,  the  consolidated  steel  production 
for  Tata  Steel  group  (‘the  Group’)  was  28.46  MnT  recording  a  5% 
increase  over  that  of  the  previous  year.  The  Group  recorded  total 
deliveries  of  26.68  MnT  as  against  26.80  MnT  in  previous  year.  The 
steel deliveries decreased at Tata Steel Limited by 2.9% and at Tata 
Steel Europe by 4%. This decrease was off-set by higher deliveries at 
Tata Steel BSL Limited (‘TSBSL’) by 16%. The increase at TSBSL is due to  
ramp-up of operations. Further, in the previous year, deliveries prior 
to the acquisition of TSBSL on May 18, 2018 under the Insolvency and 
Bankruptcy Code were not included. Further, the acquisition of steel 
business of Usha Martin Limited by Tata Steel Long Products Limited 
(formerly  Tata  Sponge  Iron  Limited)  on  April  9,  2019  also  increased 
the total deliveries of the Group by 0.51 MnT. 

The turnover for the Group was at `1,39,817 crore during the Financial 
Year  2019-20,  a  decrease  of  11%  over  the  previous  financial  year.  
The  decrease  is  due  to  decline  in  realisations  across  geographies 
along with lower deliveries. 

The EBITDA of the Group was `17,735 crore during the Financial Year 
2019-20 as compared to `29,770 crore in the previous year.

i) Tata Steel Jamshedpur 

the  Financial  Year  2019-20,  Tata  Steel  Jamshedpur 
During 
(‘TSJ’)  produced  10.19  MnT  of  crude  steel 
(previous  year: 
10.22  MnT).  The  decrease  was  due  to  operational  challenges  at 
steel works. During the year under review, there was lower specific 
consumption of lime, ferro alloys, and specific energy.

ii) Tata Steel Kalinganagar 

During  the  year  under  review,  Tata  Steel  Kalinganagar  (‘TSK’) 
produced  2.96  MnT  of  crude  steel  (previous  year:  3.01  MnT). 

108

This  decrease  was  due  to  interruption  in  the  operations  of  the 
blast furnace. 

During  the  year  under  review,  TSK  achieved  higher  consumption 
of  agglomerates  and  higher  pulverised  coal  injection  which  had 
led  to  lower  coke  consumption  and  lower  flux  consumption.  The 
operations at TSK have in place environmental management systems 
and  comprehensive  processes  for  ensuring  health  and  safety  of 
people, plant, and equipment. The plant is designed to have minimal 
water  foot  print,  by-product  gas  based  power  generation  leading 
to reduction in carbon footprints, Coke Dry Quenching technology, 
zero-effluent discharge, and significant reduction of noise and dust 
pollution.  TSK  achieved  successful  commissioning  of  Ladle  Furnace 
facility at Steel Making. TSK developed 26 new products during the 
year under review. 

TSK has embarked on the second phase of capacity expansion to take 
the total capacity of the plant to 8 MnT per annum.

b) Marketing and Sales Initiatives

During  the  Financial  Year  2019-20,  the  Company  recorded  sales 
of  12.32  MnT  which  is  2.9%  lower  than  that  of  previous  year.  This 
decrease is attributable to lower than expected sales in the month of 
March 2020 on account of the nationwide lockdown imposed by the 
Government of India, to contain the spread of COVID-19. 

The  break-up  of  sales  in  our  various  segments  and  the  break-up  of 
domestic sales to exports are as follows:

The key business initiatives, and achievements in the Financial Year 
2019-20 are given below:

Automotive  and  Special  Products:  The  automotive 
industry 
continued  to  witness  strong  headwinds  with  sharp  decline  across 
in  steel-intensive  passenger  vehicle 
all  segments  especially 
and  commercial  vehicle  segments.  The  Company  registered 
annual  sales  of  1.45  MnT  with  an  increase  in  share  of  high-end 
sales  (outer  panels,  coated  supplies,  and  high  tensile  grades 
>440  MPa  in  hot-rolled  and  cold-rolled  steel)  from  19.5%  in  the 
previous  year  to  25%  in  the  current  financial  year.  During  the  year 
under review,  the Company also secured more than 35% share in five 
out of ten  new passenger cars launched.

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEAR 
The  Company’s  efforts  in  strengthening  relationship  was  backed 
by  the  recognition  received  from  automakers.  Major  recognition 
received  during  the  year  was  the  “Overall  Performance  Award”

consecutive year. During the year under review, the Company (along 
with  Jamshedpur  Continuous  Annealing  and  Processing  Company 
Private  Limited)  also  received  a  Certificate  of  Appreciation  from  a 
Japanese PV manufacturer for improving process quality. 

Branded Products, Retail, and Solutions: During the Financial Year 
2019-20,  the  Company’s  annual  sales  of  Branded  products  was  at 
3.82 MnT. The B2C segment achieved sales volume of 1.63 MnT, and 
Tata Shaktee achieved a sales volume of 182 kt, with the launch and 
scale up of new products such as WAMA (wall profile) (4.3 kt) and Long 
Length Galvanised Corrugate Steel sheets (7.4 kt) contributing to the 
sales. Tata Kosh achieved its best-ever sales of 43 kt in Financial Year 
2019-20. Further, through the Tata Steel channel, 15 kt of Tata Shaktee 
and 37 kt of Tata Kosh of TSBSL were sold during the current period. 

During the current year, the B2ECA (Business to Emerging Corporate 
Accounts) business clocked a volume of 2.2 MnT and in the process 
serviced  more  than  9,000  customers.  Value-Added  Products 
contributed  to  23%  of  overall  ECA  Volumes  which  grew  by  17%  as 
against that of previous year. This was achieved through development 
and access to key micro-segments such as ATM safe, Railways & Metro 
coach,  Wagons,  Transmission  Line  tower,  Pre-Engineered  Buildings, 
Solar,  and  introduction  of  segment  specific  seven  new  products. 
Emerging  Corporate  Accounts  (ECA)  business  ventured  into  retail 
space  through  Tata  Astrum  Super  Brand.  The  ECA  business  spread 
across  15  states  with  21  distributors,  has  sold  Tata  Astrum  Super 
Brand  through  550  retailers  and  has  reached  more  than  2,500  end 
user fabricators. ECA Brands won 14 Awards and recognitions in the 
Financial Year 2019-20 including CII Customer Centricity Award. Tata 
Steel is the first Steel company to win this award.

Industrial  Products,  Projects,  and  Exports:  The  year  witnessed 
stable  growth  in  Infrastructure,  Railways,  Pre-Engineered  Building 
(‘PEB’), and Oil & Gas (‘O&G’) segments and de-growth in LPG, Real 
Estate,  and  Lifting  &  Excavation  (‘L&E’)  segments.  As  a  result,  the 
vertical achieved total sales of 4.61 MnT in the Financial Year 2019-20.

The  Company  continued  to  enrich  its  product  portfolio  with  a 
focus  on  Engineering  and  Value-Added  Products  (VAP).  Railways 
segment  grew  by  39%  year-on-year  from  39  kt  to  54  kt.  Precision

16%  year-on-year.  Sales  of  Value-Added  Rebars  also  grew  by 
16%  year-on-year  to  56  kt.  The  Engineering  Segment  achieved  
best-ever  sales  and  recorded  a  growth  of  5%  year-on-year.  O&G 
segment  recorded  3x  growth  in  sales  on  account  of  approvals 
from  major  Oil  Marketing  Companies  for  API  X60.  The  Company 
significantly increased its market share in L&E and PEB segments with 
an enriched product basket offering and engagement through value 
creation and cost saving initiatives such as Value Analysis and Value 
Engineering and Re-nesting exercises with key players in the industry. 

As  a  recognition  for  the  work  on  development  of  high  strength 
grades, the Company was bestowed the “Innovation Award” by the 
market leader of earth moving equipment OEM and the “Best Supplier

In  the  Construction  space,  the  Company  maintained  its  focus 
on  offering  services  and  solutions  through  Cut  &  Bend.  Tiscon 
Readybuild  recorded  sales  of  138  kt  in  Financial  Year  2019-20. 
India’s  first  Branded  Welded  Wire  Fabric  “Sm@rtFAB”  achieved  
1.29 kt sales thereby recording a 20% year-on-year growth in sales. 
The  Company  also  supplied  ~111  kt  rebars  (~10%  of  total  project 
sales)  to  26  marquee  projects  in  India,  viz.  Longest  River  bridge 
–  New  Ganga  Bridge,  Tallest  building  in  NCR  –  ‘The  Amaryllis’, 
701  km  ‘Corridor  of  Prosperity’  connecting  Mumbai  and  Nagpur 
–  Maharashtra  Samruddhi  Mahamarg,  and  World’s  largest  Cricket 
Stadium: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad. 

In International market, the Company continues to expand its reach 
to  new  geographies  such  as  Kuwait,  Qatar,  and  Philippines,  etc. 
while  continuing  to  maintain  its  presence  in  Middle-East  ('ME'), 
neighbouring  countries,  and  South-East  Asia  ('SEA')  markets.  With 
success and learning from domestic PEB market, the Company also 
ventured in the PEB segment for the first time in ME and SEA. With 
enhanced  focus,  the  Company’s  VAP  sales  doubled  in  the  export 
market (52 kt in the Financial Year 2018-19 and 110 kt in the Financial 
Year 2019-20). 

Further,  a  specific  drive  was  undertaken  to  optimise  supply  chain 
cost  for  exports  between  our  two  plants  –  TSK  and  TSJ,  and  three 
sea  ports  –  Dhamra,  Haldia,  and  Paradip.  Container  Exports  have 
commenced from Vishakhapatnam port, thereby reducing dispatch 
cost and increasing options of vessel availability.

Services and Solutions: The Company has strengthened its position 
in  the  Services  and  Solutions  space  by  providing  better  consumer 
experience and expanding product portfolio. During the year under 
review, Tata Pravesh Doors and Windows registered 30% increase in 
turnover as compared to the previous year. Since inception 1,00,000 
Tata  Pravesh  units  have  been  installed  and  more  than  20,000 
consumers  have  been  served.  Nest-In,  the  construction  solutions 
brand, continued to grow rapidly. This business has executed orders 
worth  `64  crore  and  achieved  an  order  book  of  `91  crore  in  the 
Financial  Year  2019-20.  Since  inception,  Nest-In  has  installed  over  
5 lakh square feet of housing and nearly 9,000 EzyNest units.

Digital  Initiatives:  The  Company’s  first  of  its  kind  portal  for  the 
Individual  Home  Builder  (IHB),  Tata  Steel  Aashiyana,  achieved  a 
turnover  of  `316  crore  in  the  Financial  Year  2019-20,  recording  a 
200% growth over that of the previous year. Tata Basera, a Tata Group 
level  synergy  initiative  led  by  Tata  Steel,  has  expanded  its  reach  to 
more  than  240  districts.  The  Tata  Basera  programme  offers  special 
benefits from five Tata Group companies to IHB who purchase Tata 
Tiscon/Pravesh  Doors.  These  digital  initiatives  are  helping  reach 
hitherto  unserved  territories,  allowing  the  Company  to  serve  new 
markets and customers.

initiatives in multiple customer segments. COMPASS, a digital supply 
chain  visibility  solution  rolled  for  B2B,  and  DigEca,  an  initiative 
that  captures  lead  management  for  ECAs  received  traction  from 
distributors  and  customers.  The  Company  also  completed  Digital 
Analytics based projects named Paras, Amrit, and Ascend for market 
demand assessment and improvement in product value realisation.

of idlers, screen, and liners. These have resulted in significant increase 
in  working  life  of  these  components.  Graphene-doped  fabrics  are 
resistant  to  water,  stain,  and  odour,  and  are  ideal  for  techwraps 
and trolley-bags. 

NMB  is  currently  poised  to  work  collaboratively  with  a  network  of 
technology and manufacturing partners to realise the above stated 
vision of overcoming the cyclicality of the steel business.

c) Sustainable Steel Business Initiatives

i) New Materials Business

The New Materials Business ('NMB') was set-up to partially insulate 
revenues  from  cyclicality  of  the  steel  business  and  respond  to  the 
growing  demands  of  alternative  materials.  NMB  has  two  verticals 
(a) Composites and (b) Graphene. 

Composites: The Composites business focusses on Fibre Reinforced 
Polymer  (‘FRP’)  composites  with  products  mainly  made  of  Glass 
Reinforced Polymer (‘GRP’). FRP is a composite material comprising 
glass/carbon/other  fibres,  embedded  in  a  polymer  matrix.  Its  key 
benefits  include  lightweight,  corrosion  resistance,  high  strength 
to  weight  ratio,  and  design  freedom.  The  FRP  business  completed 
its first full year of commercial operations and expanded its market 
presence  through  successful  product  launches  in  three  segments: 
Infrastructure,  Industries,  and  Railways.  Apart  from  the  two  key 
products in the infrastructure sector, GRP pipes and streetlight poles, 
NMB launched a wide range of FRP solutions in the city infrastructure 
segment. These FRP solutions include FRP street furniture, gazebos, 
fencing,  and  a  range  of  decorative  and  translucent  poles.  Building 
on  the  success  of  installing  India’s  first  FRP  foot-over  bridge  in 
March  2019,  NMB  completed  two  more  successful  FRP  bridge 
projects  during  the  year.  The  Company  is  now  well  placed  to  offer 
FRP  bridges  in  a  number  of  sectors  including  roadways,  railways, 
waterways,  harbours,  and  ports,  golf  clubs  and  theme  parks,  and 
process industries.

In  the  Industries  segment,  FRP  pressure  vessels  for  water  filtration, 
and FRP tanks and chemical equipment for paper and pulp, textile, 
and  iron  and  steel  industries  have  been  supplied.  These  products 
are  best  placed  to  tackle  corrosive  atmosphere  and  tailored  for 
being  lightweight  and  offering  long  maintenance  free  service  life. 
In the railways sector, following the initial success of supplying FRP 
components  to  the  Indian  Railways,  NMB  has  entered  the  business 
of furnishing railway coach interiors, and is working closely with key 
railway production units and zonal railways.

Graphene: The Graphene Business unit focusses on the production of 
graphene powder, graphene master batches, and graphene enriched 
products. It has strengthened its position in coated solutions through 
its offerings of liquid, dry, and aerosol based formulations. During the 
year  under  review,  nearly  1,500  tons  of  graphene-coated  “cut  and 
bend” super links (GFX Ultima) were sold. Graphene-doped polymer 
formulations were developed and deployed in the steel plant in form 

ii) Steel Recycling business

In the Financial Year 2018-19, the Company entered the Steel Recycling 
Business  which  entails  setting  up  of  Steel  Scrap  Recycling  Plants 
across India. It is primarily a sustainability initiative, as the process of 
steel manufacturing through recycling of steel scrap has much lesser 
carbon footprints. The first Steel Recycling Unit (0.5 MnT capacity) is 
being set up at Rohtak and will be commissioned in the Financial Year 
2020-21.  Steel  production  capacity  in  India  is  planned  at  ~300  MnT 
by 2030, out of which 35-40% is envisaged through the scrap route. 
The Indian scrap industry is highly fragmented and unorganised with 
long and complex supply chains. The small aggregators collect scrap 
from  various  sources  and  sell  unprocessed  scrap  with  inconsistent 
quality. The industry, employing about a million people, is not a part 
of the formal economy, and the workforce lacks social security. The 
operations  are  manual  and  there  are  concerns  towards  safety  and 
environmental  issues.  There  is  a  lack  of  requisite  policy  framework 
for  the  industry.  This  initiative  of  Tata  Steel  aims  to  provide  the 
much-needed  fillip  to  the  Steel  Scrap  Industry  by  making  available 
quality  processed  scrap,  streamlining  the  currently  unorganised 
scrap  supply  chain,  enhancing  the  transparency,  and  lowering 
the  dependency  on  imports.  Digital  Platform  as  well  as  Channel 
Networks will be established to collect scrap from various segments 
such as Households, Industries, and End of Life Vehicles. The scrap will 
be processed through mechanised equipment viz. shredder, shears, 
balers, etc. and will be used as an input raw material for downstream 
steel making through Electric Arc Furnaces.

The  Steel  Recycling  Business  has  the  potential  of  transforming  the 
Scrap Industry in India. 

d) Business Improvement Initiatives

i)  Total  Quality  Management  and  Shikhar25  (Operational 
Improvement Programmes)

The  Total  Quality  Management  ('TQM')  way  of  working  has  been 
the  hallmark  of  Tata  Steel  for  past  many  years.  TQM  techniques 
are 
for  all  operation  and  maintenance 
process improvements.

routinely  deployed 

Shikhar25,  a  focussed  EBITDA  improvement  programme,  works 
across  departments  of  Tata  Steel  to  improve  operational  efficiency, 
lower  costs,  optimise  product  mix,  reduce  and  recycle  waste,  and 
maximise  energy  and  material  efficiency,  through  25  IMPACT 
centres  including  4  new  IMPACT  centres  viz.  TSK  Shared  Services,

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEARRaw Material Procurement, Outbound Supply Chain, and Advocacy.  
Post acquisition of TSBSL and steel business of Usha Martin Limited 
by  TSLP,  the  focus  has  been  on  synergy  for  optimal  utilisation  of 
shared resources across Tata Steel to generate maximum value.

Preparing the workforce for Industry 4.0

In the present continuously evolving scenario, businesses across the 
globe are deploying advanced analytics and digital transformation to 
change the way they function. The Company has been a front runner 
and  has  made  significant  investments  in  these  areas  to  develop 
capability  as  well  as  infrastructure.  The  current  year  has  been  a 
testimony to the efforts in these areas as the greenfield plant of TSK 
was  adjudged  Manufacturing  Lighthouse  by  the  World  Economic 
Forum for showing leadership in applying fourth industrial revolution 
technologies to drive financial and operational impact. Further, the 
Company is making steady progress in using Industry 4.0 techniques 
in the following areas:

•  Safety: Contract Workforce Safety & Management, Road Safety 

Management through use of video analytics

•  Plant  Operations:  Usage  of  advanced  analytics  in  improving 
yield,  throughput,  and  quality.  Digital  twins  and  Artificial 
Intelligence  have  aided  product  quality  prediction,  and 
integrated and smart mining

•  Maintenance:  Smart  plant  maintenance  through  Maintenance 
Technology Roadmap and Smart Asset Management System

•  Logistics:  Artificial  intelligence  based  operations  and  logistics 
planning,  and  analytics  powered  network  optimisation  for 
reduced costs and improved fulfilment

•  Marketing & Sales: Online and Channel Sales enabled through 
digital  platforms  such  as  Aashiyana,  COMPASS,  DigEca,  etc. 
enabled digital sales of products and services

•  Procurement:  Use  of  digital  negotiation  factory  and  vendor 
performance analysis, integrated margin management tools for 
flux and coal for optimised buying

•  Finance  &  HR:  Smart  closure  of  financial  accounts,  chatbots, 
and  robotic  process  automation  for  seamless  and  enhanced 
stakeholder experience. Artificial intelligence aided recruitment, 
mass customisation of policies and overall employee experience

During  the  year  under  review,  approximately  600+  projects  were 
implemented and achieved savings of `4,298 crore. 

ii) Strategic Procurement Initiatives

The  Company  took  several  new  initiatives  for  its  raw  material 
procurement which have resulted in substantial savings in the cost 
and working capital 

•  Digital  journey:  The  Company  implemented  a  customised 
in-house e-auction tool to secure its metallurgical coal supplies 
digitally.  The  result  of  the  online  reverse  auction  conducted  by 

Tata  Steel  Coal  Strategic  procurement  team  in  October  2019 
resulted  in  single  day  market  drop  of  $12/t  to  $133/t  (highest 
in  the  last  3  years).  The  fixed  price  trades  through  e-auction 
tool  have  resulted  in  an  overall  spend  reduction  due  to  drop 
in  market  prices  impacting  overall  metallurgical  coal  buy.  The 
Company also invested in developing a predictive analytics tool 
for forecasting coking coal prices by incorporating 13,000+ data 
inputs such as weather, ports congestions, policy changes (China 
and global macro variables). 

• 

Implementation  of  Vendor  Managed  Inventory  at  Indian  ports 
for coal and supplier credit enhancement resulted in free up of 
non-fund based working capital lines.

•  Group  synergies  through  centralised  procurement,  technical 
optimisation,  and  knowledge  sharing  resulted  in  substantial 
savings mainly coming from the acquired TSBSL plant.

3. PERFORMANCE OF MAJOR SUBSIDIARIES

i. Tata Steel BSL Limited

Tata  Steel  BSL  limited  (‘TSBSL’)  (formerly  Bhushan  Steel  Limited) 
was  acquired  on  May  18,  2018  through  the  Corporate  Insolvency 
Resolution  Process  ('CIRP')  under  the  Insolvency  and  Bankruptcy 
Code  ('IBC').  On  June  1,  2019,  TSBSL  completed  the  acquisition  of 
Bhushan  Energy  Limited  (now  Angul  Energy  Limited)  through  the

Corporate Overview    02Strategic Review    46Performance Review    20Statutory Reports    84Our Strategy    28Financial Statements    206During  the  Financial  Year  2019-20,  the  saleable  steel  production 
stood  at  4.25  MnT  and  crude  steel  production  stood  at  4.46  MnT 
recording  an  increase  of  ~21%  and  ~25%  respectively  as  compared 
to  that  of  the  previous  year.  The  increase  at  TSBSL  is  due  to  
ramp-up of operations. Further, in the previous year, deliveries prior to 
the acquisition of TSBSL on May 18, 2018 under IBC were not included.

Post  the  acquisition,  many  improvement  projects  were  undertaken 
at TSBSL. TSBSL plans to sweat all the assets and reach higher level of 
capacity utilisation. In order to maximise capacity utilisation, TSBSL 
undertook the following initiatives;

•  Development of value added products – TSBSL developed new 
grades in Oil and Gas segment as well as adhesive coated material 
for auto sector for brake application (as an import substitute).

•  Development  of  new  customers  &  market  –  During  the  year 
under  review,  TSBSL  appointed  six  new  distributors  across 
India. Also, new customers were added in the OEM segment to 
increase the market presence and secure good share of business 
in OEM segment. 

Value  creation  through  synergy  initiative  with  parent  organisation 
–  TSBSL  technical  and  quality  teams  are  working  closely  with  the  
Tata  Steel  teams  to  develop  high-end  HR  grade  operational 
capability  for  high-end  segments  and  to  increase  the  volumes  in 
branded products.

Operational Excellence: Be1 Programme

This  is  a  flagship  multi-dimensional  excellence  programme  driving 
operational,  commercial,  financial,  and  capability  excellence.  These 
programmes  enabled  building  a  robust  pipeline  of  improvement 
initiatives  which  will  continue  to  deliver  value  over  medium  and  
long-term  and  strengthen  TSBSL’s  financial  position.  The  pipeline 
was  built  by  conducting  more  than  50  idea  generation  workshops 
involving employees across all levels to the shop floor. These initiatives 
are  focussed  on  cost  reduction,  throughput  debottlenecking,  and 
value creation. 

Key  initiatives  on  cost  that  drove  value  across  the  organisation 
include  –  fuel  rate  reduction,  power  cost  reduction,  Value-in-Use 
driven  buying  of  all  Raw  Materials,  Suppliers  Days  for  best  cost, 
country  sourcing  of  Refractories  and  Graphite  Electrodes,  and 
HR barter with other steel players for logistics cost reduction.

initiatives  on  throughput 

Key 
include  debottlenecking  across 
upstream  and  downstream  units,  DRI  (Direct  Reduced  Iron)  kilns 
operationalisation,  and  horizontally  deploying 
standardised 
maintenance  practices 
for  critical  equipment.  Besides  these, 
initiatives  focussed  on  value  creation  including  diversifying  end 
customer  segments  (especially  non-auto),  creating  a  full  potential 
and  GTM  (Geometry  Technology  Module)  view  for  strengthening 

114

export volumes, and reducing order delivery time through design of 
HR buffer for downstream plants.

In addition, the programme focussed on leveraging group synergies 
with  Tata  Steel  to  increase  use  of  captive  raw  material,  combined 
cargo planning (inbound and outbound), inter-plant synergies, and 
manufacture of Tata Steel branded products at TSBSL plants at arm’s 
length. The plant achieved multiple Business Process Developments 
best  demonstrated  performance  throughout  the  year  across  both 
cost and throughput Key Performance Indicators. 

TSBSL  started  using  digital  tools  to  create  sustainable  value.  A  few 
key highlights from digital include the Digital Twin for steel melting 
shop  which  helped  debottleneck  throughput,  GPS  tracking  of  all 
outbound trucks from gate entry to customer unloading.

The  benefits  achieved  from  these  initiatives  in  the  Financial  Year  
2019-20 is approximately `1,950 crore.

The  turnover  of  TSBSL  was  marginally  lower  due  to  lower  market 
realisation, partly offset by higher volumes. The loss before tax was 
lower  due  to  lower  interest  cost  as  in  the  previous  year  TSBSL  had 
Inter-Corporate Deposits to be discharged.

ii. Tata Steel Long Products Limited

Pursuant to the Business Transfer Agreement entered into between 
the Company and Usha Martin Limited (‘UML’) on September 22, 2018 
and  its  subsequent  novation  in  favour  of  Tata  Steel  Long  Products 
Limited  (‘TSLP’)  (formerly  Tata  Sponge  Iron  Limited),  a  subsidiary 
of the Company, the steel business of UML was acquired by TSLP on 
April 9, 2019 (other than transfer of some of the assets including iron 
ore mines, coal mines, and certain land parcels). Further, the transfer 
of iron ore mines and coal mines was completed on July 3, 2019.

TSLP’s  current  product  portfolio 
in  nature  and 
complementary  to  Tata  Steel  product  basket.  It  primarily  deals  in 
two products viz. DRI (Direct Reduced Iron/Sponge Iron) and Special 
Steel. DRI is highly commoditised in nature and used as a Raw material 
(substitute to the steel scrap) in the electric arc furnaces or induction 
furnaces. Special steel is used for high-end and critical applications 
such as forging, bearings, fasteners, spring, etc. This has enabled the 
Company to complete its offering in the Automotive sector for critical 
long  products-based  components  apart  from  being  a  leader  in  flat 
products-based parts/components.

launched 

TSLP  immediately  after  acquisition  has  engaged  in  transformation 
(multi-divisional,  cross 
programme  and 
functional  improvement  initiative  that  aims  to  drive  break  through 
improvement  projects)  to  achieve  operational  excellence  and  get 
the  synergy  benefits  for  long-term  sustainability.  The  programme 
generated more than 1,100 ideas and TSLP successfully implemented 
majority of those, resulting in total savings of ~ `300 crore.

During the Financial Year 2019-20, TSLP produced 765 kt of sponge 
and  585  kt  of  steel.  The  deliveries  of  sponge  were  at  626  kt  and 
511 kt of steel. The turnover of the current year includes sale of sponge 
iron  and  steel  whereas  that  of  previous  year  includes  only  sale  of 
sponge iron. TSLP reported losses mainly due to higher depreciation 
and higher finance cost along with higher exceptional charges post 
acquisition of steel business of UML. 

iii. Tata Steel Europe

The  eurozone  economy  grew  by  1.2%  in  2019  compared  to  1.9% 
in  2018.  Growth  was  negatively  impacted  by  a  slowing  Chinese 
economy  and  US  protectionism.  Growth  in  the  United  Kingdom 
('UK')  economy  was  1.4%  in  2019  although  uncertainty  regarding 
Brexit continued to persist. 

European  steel  spot  prices,  based  on  Hot  Rolled  Coil  ('HRC')  in 
Germany  (parity  point),  weakened  significantly  during  the  year 
to  €469/t,  a  decrease  of  €82/t.  The  decrease  was  driven  by  lower 
demand and continuing high levels of imports. 

Following  the  completion  of  appropriate  approvals  and  the 
passing of required legislation in the UK and European Union ('EU'), 
the UK left the EU on January 31, 2020 and entered a transition period 
which  currently  ends  on  December  31,  2020.  The  UK  Government 
intends to have concluded a Free Trade Agreement ('FTA') by the end 
of  December  2020.  This  in  itself  is  a  demanding  timeline,  and  until 
the terms of the FTA are understood, strategic planning for the future 
under new trade arrangements remains a challenge. There could be 
a scenario under which the UK does not conclude an FTA before the 
end of December 2020.

Tata Steel Europe (‘TSE’) is well prepared for a “No Deal” event and 
has  taken  mitigating  steps  which  would  avoid  significant  cost  and 
disruption  to  the  Company,  fully  documenting  plans  for  reference 
and deployment as required.

During March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated with many 
countries  taking  actions  to  restrict  movement  of  people  and  to 
shutdown  industrial  activities  to  contain  the  spread  of  COVID-19. 
The  key  steel  consuming  industries  reduced  production  amidst 
weakening  economic  activities,  national  lockdowns,  shortage  of 
manpower, and logistical issues and thus steel demand reduced. 

The turnover and profit/(loss) figures of TSE (continuing operations) 
are given below:

TSE’s production in the Financial Year 2019-20 was almost at par with 
that  of  previous  year.  The  deliveries  were  lower  by  4%  over  that  of 
previous year. 

During the year under review, the revenue was at `55,939 crore, lower 
by 14% from that of previous year due to decrease in average revenue 
per  tonne,  along  with  lower  deliveries,  due  to  lower  steel  demand 
in  Europe.  The  profit  before  tax  in  the  Financial  Year  2019-20  was 
significantly higher primarily on account of gain from interest waiver 
of £1.12 billion (`10,088 crore) on the waived inter-company loan of 
£0.77 billion (`6,981 crore) due to restructuring of inter-company debt 
during  the  second  quarter  of  Financial  Year  2019-20.  However,  the 
same was eliminated on consolidation in the group accounts, partly 
offset by higher exceptional charge mainly on impairment of PPE.

The principal activities of TSE in the Financial Year 2019-20 comprised 
the  manufacture  and  sale  of  steel  products.  TSE’s  operations 
produced carbon steel by the basic oxygen steelmaking method at its 
integrated steelworks in the Netherlands at IJmuiden and in the UK at 
Port Talbot. During the Financial Year 2019-20 these plants produced 
10.3 MnT (previous year: 10.3 MnT) of liquid steel.

which is less dependent on market price movements, it still retains 
focus  in  both  the  UK  and  IJmuiden  on  improving  its  operations, 
consistency,  and  taking  measures  to  protect  against  unplanned 
interruptions and property damage.

Strip  Products  Mainland  Europe  –  Liquid  steel  production  at 
IJmuiden Steel Works, Netherlands during the Financial Year 2019-20 
at 6.8 MnT was 0.3 MnT lower than that of previous year, reflecting 
the weaker market circumstances. Record annual output of 1.4 MnT 
was  achieved  at  the  Direct  Sheet  Plant.  The  impact  of  COVID-19 
was  still  relatively  limited  in  the  Financial  Year  2019-20.  During  the 
year  under  review,  Strip  Products  Mainland  Europe  continued  with 
the  Transformation  Programme  which  is  targeting  improvements 
to  delivery  and  yield  performance,  commercial  mix,  and  reducing 
operating costs and unplanned downtime. Further, progress was also 
achieved in its ‘Strategic Asset Roadmap’ (STAR) capital investment 
programme  to  support  the  strategic  growth  of  differentiated,  high 
value products in the automotive, lifting and excavating, and energy 
and power market sectors.

Implementation  of  the  ‘Roadmap  2030’  continued,  which  contains 
a  series  of  measures  to  eliminate  the  environmental  impact  (noise, 
dust, odour) of Strip Products Mainland Europe.

Strip  Products  UK  –  Liquid  steel  production  at  Port  Talbot  Steel 
Works,  Wales  during  the  Financial  Year  2019-20  was  at  3.5  MnT,  0.3 
MnT higher than that of the previous year due to an outage to extend 
the  life  of  Blast  Furnace-5  taken  in  the  previous  year.  During  the 
Financial  Year  2019-20,  Strip  Products  UK  extended  the  successful 
‘Sustainable  Operational  Excellence’  programme  across  the  hub 
with  many  areas  entering  the  sustainable  phase  after  achieving  a 
significant impact on daily management activities in the first phase. 
Following  the  ‘Delivering  Our  Future’  improvement  initiative,  work 
began  on  folding  the  activities  into  the  European  Transformation 
programme. The Port Talbot Hot Strip Mill recorded its highest ever 
availability with inherent capability to exceed record production.

New Products 

TSE introduced 22 new products into the Group’s product portfolio. 
Major new products are:

•  Valast  range  of  abrasion  resistant  steel  grades 

for  the 

engineering sector;

•  MagiZinc full finish for the automotive market;

•  Chromium-6  free  Trivalent  Chromium  Coating  Technology 
(TCCT) as replacement for Electrolytic Chromium Coated (ECCS) 
and Chromium Free Passivation Alternative (CFPA) products for 
the packaging market.

Differentiated products accounted for 37% of TSE’s portfolio.

Strategic Activities 

During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  and  thyssenkrupp  AG 
decided  not  to  pursue  the  proposed  transaction  to  form  a  joint 
venture  to  combine  their  steel  businesses  in  Europe.  The  decision 
was taken after careful evaluation of the viability of the proposal in 
light of the feedback received from the European Commission ('EC'). 
Thereafter,  on  June  11,  2019,  EC  formally  announced  its  decision  to 
prohibit the proposed joint venture.

On September 2, 2019, TSE announced that it had signed a definitive 
agreement  with  JFE  Shoji  Trade  Corporation  (JFE)  for  the  sale  of 
Cogent  Power  Inc  (manufacturer  of  cores  for  electrical  distribution 
transformers in Canada and a part of Cogent business unit). The sale 
of CPI to JFE completed on September 20, 2019. TSE also announced 
that despite exploring all options it was unable to find a viable option 
for  Orb  Electrical  Steels  and  therefore  decided  to  close  the  site. 
Orb Electrical Steels was a manufacturer of Grain Oriented Electrical 
Steel in Wales, UK and a part of Cogent business unit. 

During  the  year  under  review,  TSE  commenced  a  company-wide 
Transformation  programme  to  improve  the  performance  of  the 
business,  helping  it  to  become  more  sustainable  and  enabling 
investments necessary to secure its long-term future. Improvements 
in performance will come from productivity improvements, increased 
sales  of  higher-value  steels,  and  employment  cost  savings.  In  the 
Financial  Year  2019-20,  the  Transformation  programme  delivered 
over £200 million worth of sustainable benefits. 

Awards and Accolades 

TSE won a Steelie Award for ‘Excellence in Life Cycle Assessment’ from 
the Word Steel Association. The award for developing a life cycle tool 
to assess the sustainability of new product recognises TSE’s leading 
contribution to sustainability in the steel industry.

iv. South East Asia Operations

On January 28, 2019, the Company through its subsidiary T S Global 
Holdings Pte. Ltd. (‘TSGH’), had entered into definitive agreements 
with HBIS Group Co. Ltd. (‘HBIS’) to divest its entire equity stake in 
NatSteel  Holdings  Pte.  Ltd.  (‘NSH’)  and  Tata  Steel  (Thailand)  Public 
Company Ltd. (‘TSTH’). 

Therefore, in accordance with Ind AS 105, “Non-current Assets Held 
for  Sale  and  Discontinued  Operations”,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of 
businesses  forming  part  of  the  disposal  group  were  classified  as 
held for sale as on March 31, 2019 and were presented separately in 
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as on March 31, 2019. In the results 
as  on  March  31,  2019,  these  companies  had  been  disclosed  within 
discontinued operations.

During  the  year  under  review,  TSGH  decided  not  to  pursue  the 
proposed  transaction  with  HBIS,  for  want  of  regulatory  approvals. 
While,  the  termination  of  definitive  agreements  with  HBIS  was

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEARbeyond 
the  management’s  control,  active  discussions  and 
engagement  with  other  potential  buyer(s)  demonstrate  that  the 
management is committed to sell the disposal group and there is an 
active programme in process for completing the sale.

The conditions for classification as held for sale, therefore, continue 
to be met and the businesses would continue to be classified as held 
for sale as on March 31, 2020.

Profit  of  `10  crore  for  the  financial  Year  2019-20  (Previous  Year  loss 
of  `89  crore)  is  reported  under  “discontinued  operations”  in  the 
Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  for  the  period  ended  March  31,  2020. 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  entities  held  for  sale  have  been 
separately disclosed in the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020. The 
Company has taken an impairment charge of `1,175 crore recognised 
for fair value measurement loss of NSH operations within profit/loss 
from discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements.

v. Tata Metaliks Limited

Tata Metaliks Limited (‘TML’) has its manufacturing plant at Kharagpur, 
West Bengal which produces annually 300 kt of pig iron and 200 kt of 
ductile iron pipes. Pig iron is marketed in the brand name ‘Tata eFee’ 
(world’s  first  brand)  and  ductile  iron  pipe  is  marketed  in  the  brand 
name ‘Tata Ductura’.

During  the  year  under  review,  the  pig  iron  business  was  volatile 
and  had  a  weak  demand  due  to  slow  down  of  auto  sector  and 
low  realisation,  while  the  Ductile  Iron  pipe  business  was  stable 
as  it  is  driven  by  Government  investment  in  water  and  sanitation 
infrastructure projects.

During  the  year  under  review,  as  part  of  the  Digitisation  journey, 
TML  implemented  smart  machines,  business  on  mobile,  and  data 
analytics  in  plant  operation,  maintenance,  procurement,  marketing 
& sales, HRM, project management, and finance & accounts. TML also 
introduced robotics in plant operation.

The  turnover  and  profit/(loss)  figures  of  TML  for  the  Financial  Year 
2019-20 are as follows:

During the Financial Year 2019-20, the production of Pig Iron ('PI') was 
at 320 kt, higher by 35 kt than that of previous year due to improved 
productivity of the furnace. The production of ductile iron pipes was 
at 225 kt, lower by 4% than that of previous year due to weak demand 
and  adverse  product  mix.  Deliveries  of  PI  were  at  519  kt,  higher 
by  31  kt  than  that  of  previous  year  and  deliveries  of  ductile  pipes 
were at 218 kt lower by 8% than that of previous year. The turnover 
declined by 5% due to decrease in realisation as there was a decline 
in steel prices. This resulted in 9% decline in profit after tax from that 
of previous year.

vi. The Tinplate Company of India Limited

The  Tinplate  Company  of  India  Limited  (‘TCIL’)  is  the  largest 
indigenous  producer  of  tin-coated  and  tin-free  steel  used  for 
metal  packaging.  TCIL  has  also  been  ‘value-adding’  its  products 
by  providing  printing  and  lacquering  facility  to  reach  closer  to 
food  processors/fillers.  TCIL  has  two  Cold  Rolling  Mills  and  two 
electrolytic  tinning  lines  with  an  installed  annual  production 
capacity of approximately 379 kt of tinplate and tin-free steel.

The  turnover  and  profit/(loss)  figures  of  TCIL  for  the  Financial  Year 
2019-20 are as follows:

During  the  Financial  Year  2019-20,  the  production  was  340  kt  with 
an overall capacity utilisation of 90%. The production was lower by 
18 kt than that of previous year. Deliveries were at 311 kt, lower by 
32 kt than that of previous year owing to lower market demand. The 
turnover declined by ~19% due to lower market realisation and profit 
before tax increased by ~13% than that of previous year.

TCIL’s  product  mix  continues  to  serve  end-uses  such  as  edible  oils, 
paints,  pesticides,  battery  jackets,  aerosol  cans,  processed  foods, 
and  crown  corks.  The  products  continue  to  be  supplied  in  sheet 
and coil form. TCIL continued with its customer-focussed initiatives, 
in  a  structured  way.  One  such  initiative  'Pragati',  consists  of  cross 
functional  teams  with  members  from  TCIL  and  the  customers,  that 
addresses  issues  related  to  process  efficiency  and  yields  at  the 
customers’ end. This has helped the organisation to further improve 
relationships with customers. TCIL, over the last two years, has been 
preparing for emerging domestic competition. The implementation 
of  these  plans  has  created  a  favourable  impact  on  the  customers 
which  is  visible  through  the  VOC  (voice-of-customer)  captured 
through various interactions. 

TCIL completed the installation of Multi-Roll Leveller at both the ETLs 
(Extract, Transform and Load), to improve the shape characteristics 
of  the  product  to  International  Standards.  A  cross-functional  team 
based  approach  to  improve  the  surface  quality  has  been  effective 
to prevent fine surface defects. TCIL has successfully commissioned 
its  second  Printing  line  at  Solution  Centre  to  meet  the  evolving 
printed sheet requirements both in the domestic and international 
markets. TCIL also has been working on new products/variants (1.6% 
of  total  production  in  FY  2020)  to  sustain  its  leadership  position  in 
the  domestic  market  (44%  market  share)  and  to  cater  to  different 
needs of customers. 

After  receiving  the  second  level  Total  Productive  Maintenance 
('TPM') award, TCIL’s focus is on the deployment of TPM - Level 3. 
Two more pillars (Roll Management and Supply Chain Management) 
have been added to the existing 8-Pillar TPM Structure and, these 
ten pillars will bring further improvements in process and internal

control  measures  such  as  efficient  utilisation  of  raw  materials, 
reduction  in  power  consumption  (Variable  Frequency  Drives  for 
high  power  motors,  LED  lamps  across  Plant),  reduction  in  fuel 
and  water  consumption,  reduction  in  consumables,  reduction  in 
number of strip breakages at mills and improvement in throughput. 

The  focus  on  environment  management  was  through  on-line 
monitoring  of  effluent  &  stack  data  (being  shared  with  Jharkhand 
State  Pollution  Control  Board  on-line),  rain  water  harvesting

During the year under review, the production from tolling business 
was  at  1,836  kt,  lower  by  ~12%  than  that  of  the  previous  year,  due 
to lower businesses from Tata Steel and distribution business was at 
627 kt, lower by ~23% than that of previous year due to lower demand 
in  auto  segment.  The  deliveries  from  tolling  business  was  1,799  kt 
which was in line with the previous year. The deliveries in distribution 
business  was  609  kt,  lower  by  ~24%  than  that  of  the  previous  year 
due  to  lower  demand  from  auto  segments.  The  turnover  for  the 
financial  year  declined  by  ~27%  due  to  adverse  market  conditions, 
attributable to lower realisation and lower volumes from distribution 
business. The profit before tax declined by ~19%.

Awards and Accolades:

National Safety Council of India awarded TSDPL’s Pune plant with a 
Bronze Trophy for the assessment period of CY 2016-18 and ‘Suraksha

Uninterrupted  power  supply  and  cost  of  power  is  a  challenge  for 
large  power  intensive  process  industries.  Industries  which  produce 
365 days per annum, continue to depend on thermal power plants for 
their base load requirements. 

BPPL  is  in  the  business  of  generation  of  power.  It  owns  135  MW 
(2x67.5  MW)  coal  based  power  plant  in  Odisha.  BPPL  supplies  
120.5 MW power to Tata Steel and Tata Steel Mining Limited (formerly 
T S Alloys Limited). 

During  the  year  under  review,  the  plant  operated  at  a  load  factor 
of  78.51%,  and  generated  931  million  units  of  power,  as  against 
924 million units in the previous year. The plant availability has come 
down  from  94%  to  87.47%  attributable  to  operational  disturbance 
due to cyclone FANI and adverse coal supplies.

During  the  Financial  Year  2019-20,  the  turnover  of  BPPL  was  ~6% 
lower than that of previous year, due to lower cost of generation as 
the  revenue  model  is  cost  plus  contract.  Profit  before  tax  declined 
mainly  as  previous  year  included  a  one-time  gain  of  ~`50  crore  on 
fair  valuation  of  loans.  However,  profit  after  tax  increased  due  to 
an  accounting  credit  on  re-assessment  of  deferred  tax  assets  and 
liabilities  post  adoption  of  lower  tax  rate  which  were  announced 
during the year.

VI. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1. 

Tata Steel Limited (Standalone)

During  the  Financial  Year  2019-20,  the  Company  recorded  a  profit 
after tax of `6,744 crore (previous year: `10,533 crore). The decrease is 
primarily on account of decline in realisations, lower deliveries, lower 
finance income, higher finance cost, and higher exceptional charges 
as  compared  to  that  of  the  previous  year.  The  basic  and  diluted 
earnings per share for the Financial year 2019-20 were at `57.11 per 
share (previous year: Basic: `90.41 per share, diluted: `90.40 per share).

During the year under review, sale of products was lower as compared 
to  that  of  the  previous  year,  primarily  due  to  lower  realisations 
and  decline  in  volumes.  Ferro  Alloys  and  Mineral  Division  (FAMD) 
registered lower revenue owing to lower sales of Ferro Chrome along 
with decline in prices due to depressed demand in the international 
markets.  Wires  and  Tubes  division  registered  lower  revenue  due  to 
decrease in realisations and volumes.

During  the  year  under  review,  the  employee  benefits  expense 
decreased primarily on account of reversal of excess provision post 
finalisation of wage agreements. The decrease was partly offset by 
increase due to change in the actuarial estimates owing to change 
in  discounting  rates  along  with  normal  salary  revisions  and  its 
consequential impact on the retirement provisions.

financial  year  primarily  on  account  of  lower  freight  and  handling 
charges mainly due to favourable rates, decrease in royalty expense 
along with rates and taxes on reversal of excess provision, higher one 
time charges in previous year not present in current year, partly offset 
by,  higher  repairs  to  machinery  mainly  due  to  IT  transformation 
initiatives. Consumption of stores and spares increased primarily due 
to charging of project expenses on account of Kalinganagar Phase-II, 
majorly eliminated through transfer to capital account.

The  increase  in  investments  was  predominantly  on  account  of 
higher investments in equity shares of subsidiaries mainly in T Steel 
Holdings Pte. Ltd. and in Tata Steel Long Products Limited (formerly 
Tata Sponge Iron Ltd.) along with increase in current investments in 
mutual funds. Decrease in other non-current investments is mainly 
in the preference shares of T Steel Holdings Pte. Ltd. on conversion 
to equity shares.

by  scheduled  repayments  of  non-convertible  debentures  and 
re-payments of ECB and term loans.

Net debt was higher as compared to that of the previous year. This 
is attributable to increase in Gross debt, partly offset by increase in 
current investments along with cash and bank balances.

Net cash flow from/(used in) operating activities

During the year under review, the net cash generated from operating 
activities  was  `13,454  crore  as  compared  to  `15,193  crore  during 
the  previous  year.  The  cash  inflow  from  operating  profit  before 
working capital changes and direct taxes during the current year was  
`13,768  crore  as  compared  to  inflow  of  `19,949  crore  during  the 
previous  year  due  to  lower  operating  profits.  Cash  inflow  from 
working  capital  changes  in  2019-20  is  mainly  due  to  decrease  in 
Non-current/Current financial and other assets by `1,442 crore and 
decrease  in  inventories  by  `533  crore,  partly  offset  by  decrease  in 
Non-current/current financial and other liabilities/provisions by `471 
crore. The income taxes paid during the current year was `1,819 crore 
as compared to `4,533 crore during previous financial year primarily 
due to change in corporate tax rates.

Net cash flow from/(used in) investing activities

During  the  year  under  review,  the  net  cash  outflow  from  investing 
activities  amounted  to  `17,635  crore  as  compared  to  `16,350  crore 
during  the  previous  year.  The  outflow  during  the  current  year 
broadly represents, investments in subsidiaries `8,945 crore, capex of 
`4,749 crore, net purchase of current investments of `2,662 crore and 
inter-corporate deposits given of `1,527 crore.

Net cash flow from/(used in) financing activities

During  the  year  under  review,  the  net  cash  inflow  from  financing 
activities  was  `4,630  crore  as  compared  to  an  outflow  of 
`2,887  crore  during  the  previous  year.  The  inflow  during  the 
current  year  broadly 
from  borrowings  
(net of repayments) `9,772 crore, partly offset by payment of interest 
`3,084 crore, payment of dividend including taxes `1,787 crore.

Decreased primarily on account of decrease in net profits primarily 
attributable  to  lower  operating  profits  and  higher  exceptional 
charges during the Financial Year 2019-20. 

2. Tata Steel Limited (Consolidated)

The consolidated profit after tax (including discontinued operations) 
of  the  Company  was  `1,172  crore  as  against  `9,098  crore  in  the 
previous year. The decrease was mainly due to lower operating profits 
due  to  falling  steel  prices  during  the  year  and  higher  exceptional 
charges, partly offset by lower tax expenses during the year primarily 
on account of re-measurement of deferred tax liabilities based on the 
new  lower  rate  of  Income  tax  prescribed  under  Section  115BAA  of 
the Income Tax Act,1961 along with creation of deferred tax assets at 
some of the foreign entities.

The analysis of major items of the financial statements is given below. 

(Note:  The  financials  of  Tata  Steel  Long  Products  Limited  ('TSLP')  for 
the Financial Year 2018-19 pertain only to the sponge business of TSLP, 
since the steel business of Usha Martin Limited ('UML') was acquired on 
April 9, 2019.)

Revenue from TSLP increased post of acquisition of steel business of 
UML reflect revenue from sponge and steel businesses.

Expense  was  lower  mainly  at  TSE  primarily  on  account  of  decrease 
in  external  steel  purchases  across  a  number  of  operating  units, 
consistent  with  lower  deliveries.  At  Tata  Steel  (Standalone),  the 
expense  was  lower  due  to  lower  purchases  of  wire  rods,  imported 
rebars,  hot  rolled  coils,  cold  rolled  coils  and  slabs  owing  to 
lower requirement.

The consolidated revenue from operations was lower as compared to 
that of the previous year primarily due to decline in realisations across 
geographies along with lower deliveries. 

Tata  Steel  Europe  ('TSE')  reported  decrease  mainly  on  account  of 
decrease in average revenue per tonne, lower deliveries by 4% along 
with adverse forex impact on translation.

The  revenue  from  Tata  Steel  BSL  Limited  ('TSBSL')  marginally  
decreased  mainly  due  to 
lower  realisation,  partly  offset  by 
higher  volumes  as  the  previous  period  was  consolidated  only 
from May 18, 2018.

Consumption was marginally lower mainly on account of decrease at 
Tata Steel (Standalone) due to lower cost of consumption of imported 
coal  as  well  as  other  raw  materials  owing  to  decrease  in  prices. 
Tata  Steel  Europe  reported  marginal  decrease  in  GBP  terms  along 
with favourable exchange impact on translation.

Cost at TSLP increased post acquisition of steel business of UML.

Others primarily reflects decline in transactions at T S Global Minerals 
Holdings Pte Ltd. due to sale of Black Ginger 461 Pty. Ltd. and lower 
activities  at  T  S  Global  Procurement  and  Natsteel  Asia  which  are 
majorly eliminated on consolidation.

Cogent Power post disposal along with favourable exchange impact 
on translation. 

Expense at Tata Steel (Standalone) decreased mainly on account of 
reversal of excess provisions post finalisation of wage agreements.

Expense  at  TSBSL  reflects  an  increase  mainly  because  the  previous 
period was consolidated only from May 18, 2018. The increase is also 
attributable to change in the actuarial estimates owing to change in 
discounting rates.

Expense  was  lower  mainly  at  Tata  Steel  (Standalone)  on  account 
of  decrease  in  freight  and  handling  charges,  decrease  in  royalty 
expense along with rates and taxes on reversal of excess provision, 
higher one-time charges in previous year not present in current year. 

TSE reported decrease mainly on account of lower consumption of 
stores  and  spares,  lower  level  of  repairs  and  maintenance,  power 
cost, lower rent due to impact of Ind AS 116, and lower other general 
expenses  along  with  favourable  exchange  impact  on  translation. 
These decreases were partly offset by purchase of emission rights as 
against sale during the previous year. 

Decrease in ‘Others’ was mainly at T S Global Holdings on account of 
favourable exchange rate movement.

Increase in other expenses at TSBSL is primarily because the previous 
period was consolidated only from May 18, 2018. The increase is also 
attributable to higher stores and spares consumption, higher repairs 
to machinery, offset by lower rental expenses.

Finance  cost  was  lower  mainly  due  to  repayment  of  external

of  TSBSL.  Decrease  at  TSBSL  mainly  relates  to  repayment  of  funds 
provided  by  Bamnipal  Steel  Limited  for  the  acquisition  which  was 
majorly eliminated on consolidation. Decrease at TSE was mainly due 
to decrease in borrowings post restructuring of debt in September 
2019, majorly eliminated on consolidation.

Net  finance  charge  was  lower  in  line  with  decrease  in  finance  cost. 
Expense  was  lower  at  TSE  mainly  due  to  higher  finance  income  on

at  Tata  Steel  (Standalone)  mainly  on  account  of  interest  income 
in  previous  year  from  inter-corporate  deposits  given  to  Bamnipal 
Steel  Limited  for  acquisition  of  TSBSL,  which  was  eliminated 
on consolidation.

Decrease in ‘Others’ was primarily at T S Global Procurement  mainly 
due to decline in securitisation transactions. Decrease at Tata Steel 
Limited  (Standalone)  was  primarily  due  to  lower  deliveries  during 
the month of March 2020 along with lower prices. These decreases 
were partly offset by acquisition of steel business of UML by TSLP.

Net debt was higher by `9,900 crore over that of previous year. 

Gross  Debt  at  `1,16,328  crore  was  higher  by  `15,512  crore  as 
compared to that of previous year. Increase in Gross Debt was mainly 
on account of recognition of lease obligations post transition to Ind 
AS 116 along with higher borrowings at TSLP due to acquisition of 
steel  business  of  UML,  higher  proceeds  from  borrowings  (net  of 
repayment)  mainly  at  Tata  Steel  (Standalone)  along  with  adverse 
exchange impact on translation being `4,095 crore. These increases 
were partly offset by marginal decrease at Tata Steel Europe.

The increase in Net Debt was in line with increase in gross debt partly 
offset  by  increase  in  cash  and  bank  balances  mainly  at  T  S  Global 
Holdings (‘TSGH’) and Tata Steel (Standalone). Moreover, there was 
increase  in  current  investments  mainly  at  Tata  Steel  (Standalone), 
partly offset by decline at TSBSL.

n) Cash Flows

Decrease  was  primarily  at  Tata  Steel  (Standalone),  mainly  in  raw 
materials  and  stores  and  spares,  offset  by  increase  in  finished  and 
semi-finished  goods.  Tata  Steel  Europe  reported  decrease  on 
account  of  lower  raw  material  and  WIP  inventory.  These  decreases 
were  partly  offset  by  acquisition  of  steel  business  of  UML  by  TSLP. 
Increase at TSBSL was mainly due to higher stock of finished goods 
along with higher stores and spares, partly offset by decrease in raw 
material inventory.

During the year under review, the net cash from operating activities 
was `20,169 crore as compared to `25,336 crore during the previous 
year.  The  cash  inflow  from  operating  profit  before  working  capital 
changes  and  direct  taxes  during  the  year  under  review  was 
`18,078  crore  as  against  `27,840  crore  during  the  previous  year, 
reflecting higher operating profits. Cash inflow from working capital 
changes  during  the  current  period  was  `4,196  crore,  primarily  due 
to decrease in inventories by `1,562 crore and Non-current/Current 
financial  and  other  assets  `4,631  crore,  partly  offset  by  decrease 
in  Non-current/Current  financial  and  other  liabilities/provisions 
by  `1,997  crore.  The  payment  of  income  taxes  during  the  year 
under review was `2,106 crore as compared to `5,094 crore during 
the previous year.

Net cash flow from/(used in) investing activities

During  the  year  under  review,  the  net  cash  outflow  from  investing 
activities  was  `14,530  crore  as  against  an  outflow  of  `29,211  crore 
during  the  previous  year.  The  outflow  in  the  financial  Year  2019-20 
broadly represents capex of `10,398 crore, acquisition of subsidiaries/
undertakings  amounting  to  `4,433  crore,  (mainly  at  TSLP  –  steel 
business  of  UML,  BEL  acquisition  at  TSBSL),  along  with  purchase 
(net of sale) of current investments amounting to `766 crore.

Net cash flow from/(used in) financing activities

During  the  year  under  review,  net  cash  outflow  from  financing 
activities  was  `1,695  crore  as  against  outflow  of  `673  crore  during 
the previous year. The net outflow primarily represents interest paid 
`7,419 
taxes 
`1,815  crore,  partly  offset  by  proceeds  from  borrowings  (net  of

VII.  Human  Resources  Management  &  Industrial 
Relations 
Human resource has always been one of the most valued stakeholders 
for  the  Company.  The  Company  has  a  culture  of  working  together 
through  joint  consultation  between  Union  and  Management  and 
a  very  strong  commitment  towards  community  development. 
Our  people  practices  have  enabled  us  to  create  an  environment  of 
collaboration and connect, which has aided us to achieve industrial 
harmony of over 91 years.

 Improving  employee  productivity  is  of  utmost  importance  to  the 
organisation.  During  the  year  under  review,  employee  productivity 
improved  from  800  tonnes  of  crude  steel/employee/year  to  
803 tonnes of crude steel/employee/year with the employees on roll 
in Tata Steel Limited moving from 32,984 to 32,364.

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  embarked  on  major 
improvements  in  areas  of  diversity  and  inclusion.  The  Company 
was the first in the country to deploy women in all shifts in its mines 
through  an  initiative  called  ‘Women@Mines’.  The  Company  also 
rolled out a policy on equal rights for LGBTQ+ employees to enable 
partners  of  colleagues  from  the  LGBTQ+  community  to  avail  all 
benefits  meant  for  employees’  spouse.  Efforts  have  been  taken  on 
hiring  and  creating  infrastructure  for  diverse  workforce  as  well  as 
retaining and developing women leaders. Our continuous efforts in 
this direction have led to increase in gender diversity from 6.5% to 
6.9% of the total workforce. 

 Digitalisation  has  been  one  of  the  most  focussed  area  for  the 
Management.  Various  projects  such  as 
‘Connected  Workforce 
system’  to  improve  safety  of  contract  workforce;  'TalentPro'  to 
have a unified view of talent and performance management along 
with  learning;  and  real-time  dashboards  using  analytics  tool  such 
as  'Tableau'  to  provide  insights  on  employee  cost,  diversity  and 
workforce  productivity  were  implemented  to  improve  employee 
experience and data driven decision making. 

 In order to fulfill the Company’s commitment towards enhancing the 
skills of its workforce, ‘School of Excellence’- an initiative to develop 
world-class technical competencies for employees, was introduced. 
During  the  year  under  review,  over  50,000  contract  workforce 
completed such certification.

 During  the  year  under  review,  the  Company  was  certified  as  
Great Place to Work in the Great Place to Work study conducted for 
the year 2020. The Company was also declared as one of the top 30 
‘India’s  Best  Places  to  Work  in  the  Manufacturing  sector’  by  Great 
Place to Work for the 3rd year in a row. 

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEAR In  Europe,  the  Company  is  committed  to  provide  an  environment 
that recognises and values the differences in employee backgrounds 
and skills. The aim is to provide equal opportunity for all employees 
regardless  of  gender,  sexual  orientation,  part-time  or  fixed  term 
status, parental responsibilities, marital status, race, disability, colour, 
national  or  ethnic,  and  to  maximise  the  benefits  available  from  a 
diverse workforce. 

 In Europe, the Company strives to ensure that well-developed policies 
and procedures are in place for consulting and negotiating with trade 
unions, the European works council and employee representatives, 
so  that  views  of  employees  can  be  considered  in  making  decisions 
that are likely to affect their interests. UK Steel Enterprise Limited, a 
subsidiary of Tata Steel Europe, helps the economic regeneration of 
communities affected by changes in the UK steel industry and it has 
rolled out support measures to businesses across all steel sectors in 
the UK to help create new job opportunities for steel communities. 

VIII.  Digital Transformation
The  Company 
is  on  a  multi-year  digital  enabled  Business 
Transformation  journey  intending  to  be  the  leader  in  Digital  Steel 
making  by  2025  through  adoption  of  Digital  Technologies.  In 
the  process,  the  Company  intends  to  improve  EBITDA,  enhance 
digital maturity, and improve work practices to be more intelligent, 
insightful, and agile as an organisation. 

Cloud, Data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are the key drivers of this 
transformation. The substantial investments made in Network, Cloud, 
and  Cyber-security  over  the  last  couple  of  years  has  laid  a  strong 
foundation  for  a  rapid  and  sustainable  business  transformation. 
The  Company  has  developed  a  Maintenance  Technology  Roadmap 
(‘MTR’) to improve the sensor density on mission critical equipment 
to enable Predictive Maintenance. As a first step, an Asset Monitoring 
& Diagnostic Centre (‘AMDC’) has been set up for remote condition 
monitoring  of  such  critical  equipment.  All  these  initiatives  have 
accelerated  data  generation  to  ~20TB/month  with  data  volumes 
growing 2.5x year-on-year. Leveraging the data, 100+ data analytics 
models have been deployed across processes to drive insights-based 
decision making. 

Since  the  early  stages  of  our  transformation  journey,  the  Company 
has  acknowledged  that  Data  Analytics  and  AI  will  have  numerous 
applications  in  steel  manufacturing.  AI  will  allow  the  Company  to 
be  more  cognitive  of  its  internal  processes,  the  externalities,  and 
stakeholder  expectations.  A  business  first  approach  to  AI  helps 
drive  this  agenda  through  identifying  user  stories  that  drive  clear 
tangible  business  benefits.  The  Company  uses  data  analytics  to 
arrive  at  optimum  Coke,  Pellet,  and  Sinter  quality  to  improve  the 
yield  and  throughput  of  the  Blast  Furnaces.  Through  Advanced 
Analytics  the  Company  modelled  the  iron  making  process  inside  a 
Blast  Furnace  which  reduces  coke  consumption  and  further  yield 
improvement. Advanced Analytics models are guiding our operators 
on the optimum casting speed in the Continuous Casting process to 
arrive at the target properties at the lowest cost and time. Operations 

Research  based  models  are  driving  logistics  cost  optimisation  and 
yield  and  throughput  improvement  through  efficient  production 
planning.  All  such  initiatives  are  governed  and  monitored  in 
order  to  gain  cost  improvements.  The  Company  broadly  classifies 
the  Analytics  solutions  into  three  stages:  1)  Smart  Assistance,  2) 
Intelligence  Augmentation,  and  3)  Zero  Human  intervention.  The 
Company  started  off  the  journey  by  driving  Advanced  Analytics, 
which is the precursor to AI adoption. 

As a result of early adoption and perseverance, Tata Steel Ijmuiden, 
Netherland  (in  2018)  and  Tata  Steel  Kalinganagar,  India  (in  2019) 
have  been  recognised  as  Industry  4.0  Lighthouses  by  World 
Economic Forum. 

The  Company  targets  to  be  a  Zero  Harm  organisation  and  ensure 
safety  and  security  for  our  employees  and  assets.  We  have  built  a 
Connected  Workforce  solution  that  gives  us  end-to-end  visibility 
of the work patterns of the contract workforce across the plants. It 
helps us pre-empt unsafe incidents while improving the workforce 
productivity through analytics. We are using Video Analytics to detect 
the right usage of Personal Protective Equipment on the shop-floor, 
to monitor traffic inside the plant premises to improve road safety.

The  pioneering  e-commerce  initiatives  such  as  Aashiyana  (for  the 
Individual House Builders), DigECA (for the Micro, Medium and Small 
Enterprises),  and  COMPASS  (for  our  large  industrial  accounts)  are 
well poised to be the main stay of how business will be conducted 
going forward – with minimal in-person interactions. Key to all such 
initiatives are the Company’s Channel Partners and the Sampoorna 
digital  platform  is  enabling  efficient  distribution  and  enhancing 
customer  experience  through  better  collaboration  along  the 
distribution  network.  In  the  previous  year,  the  Company  piloted  a 
solution that used satellite image and socio-economic data analytics 
for demand estimation of some of the product segments with success. 
This solution will prove essential in the era of social distancing where 
the  Company  can  remotely  identify  demand  hotspots  and  direct 
sales efforts towards it.

The  prevalent  level  of  sensorisation,  automation,  and  camera 
density  combined  with  data  analytics  allowed  the  Company’s 
managers to manage operations remotely with a skeletal workforce 
during the National Lockdowns. Together, these technologies form 
the  foundation  to  enable  truly  Integrated  &  Remote  Operations 
and  Smart  Asset  Maintenance  from  Mines  to  Mills.  Sensorisation, 
via  MTR  programme,  and  AMDC  have  enabled  “Remote  Read  & 
Diagnose”  capabilities  with  focus  on  enabling  “Remote  Write” 
capabilities going forward.

The  Company  is  looking  at  Integrated  Supply  Chain  Planning  & 
Logistics combined with Integrated Margin Monitor as themes & tools 
to  drive  end-to-end  cost  optimisation.  The  procurement  processes 
are being platformatised through introduction of digital catalogue-
based  buying,  commodity  price  prediction  aided  buying,  analytics 
powered  negotiation  tools  and  end-to-end  contract 
lifecycle 
management.  A  Virtual  Command  Centre  ('VCC')  is  envisaged  to 

127

Corporate Overview    02Strategic Review    46Performance Review    20Statutory Reports    84Our Strategy    28Financial Statements    206enable  centralised  and  decentralised  interventions  seamlessly.  This 
will eliminate the need for any Physical Command Centres, which are 
resource intensive in building and maintaining. A VCC would ideally 
be a device agnostic app with defined access and control as per roles, 
responsibilities, profiles, and decision journeys, orchestrated via AI.

IX. IMPACT  OF  COVID-19  PANDEMIC  ON  THE 
COMPANY 
The  COVID-19  pandemic  has  posed  unprecedented  disruptions 
in  business  operations  of  companies  all  over  the  globe.  At  Tata 
Steel,  the first and foremost priority  is  the  health  and  safety of the 
employees  and  the  communities  in  which  the  Company  operates. 
The Company has been operating its facilities in accordance with the 
advisories  issued  from  time  to  time,  by  the  Central,  State  and  local 
Governments, including the prescribed hygiene and safety standards 
and social distancing norms.

a) Impact on the operations 

In  view  of  the  nationwide  lockdown  imposed  to  combat  the 
COVID-19 pandemic and the slowdown in economic activity, there 
has been a significant reduction in demand in key steel consuming 
segments  such  as  automotive,  infrastructure,  construction,  real 
estate,  capital  goods,  consumer  durables  amongst  others.  The 
steel  consuming 
industries  have  reduced  production  amidst 
weakening  economic  activities,  shortage  of  manpower,  working 
capital  constraints,  and  logistical  issues,  thereby  impacting  steel 
demand adversely.

Being part of the essential services and process industries where the 
continuous  operations  of  the  facilities  is  important,  the  Company's 
steel and mining operations were exempt from lockdown measures, 
subject  to  certain  guidelines.  The  Company's  mining  operations 
continued  to  operate  normally.  However,  the  Company  operated 
its  facilities  at  Jamshedpur  and  Kalinganagar  at  reduce  production 
levels  on  account  of  lack  of  demand  from  customers.  Production 
at  downstream  facilities  was  temporarily  suspended.  Operations 
at  Strategic  Business  Units  such  as  Bearings,  Tubes,  and  Wires 
were  also  halted.  Supply  chain  activities  were  affected  and  all 
despatches were stopped. 

At  locations  where  operations  were  continuing,  the  Company 
adopted  safety  &  hygiene  standards  at  shop  floor  and  offices  and 
implemented  social  distancing  norms,  work  from  home,  workforce 
deployment  plan,  and  staggered  shift  timing  for  safety  of  the 
employees. The Company has also put in place digital interventions 
to ensure smooth functioning of essential services. 

With  the  phased  removal  of  the  lockdown  restrictions  in  India,  the 
Company’s  upstream  steel  making  operations  have  been  ramped 
up  and  are  currently  operating  at  about  80%  utilisation  levels.  The 
downstream units have reopened and are steadily ramping up. 

In  Europe,  shutdown  measures 
implemented  by  national 
governments  starting  from  March  2020  significantly  impacted 

128

manufacturing  activity  and  steel-using  industrial  sectors.  The 
Company  maintained 
its  operations  while  following  national 
government  advice  to  protect  employees,  contract  workers,  and 
the  communities  in  which  it  operates.  The  Company  is  managing 
production  levels  at  European  mills  to  match  the  lower  demand 
levels in Europe. The Company continues to operate at about 70% 
utilisation level. All four blast furnaces across the two steelmaking 
hubs  –  in  IJmuiden,  the  Netherlands,  and  Port  Talbot,  Wales  are 
being  operated  at  reduced  levels.  Liquid  steel  production  is  also 
aligned to lower demand levels. The Company has taken necessary 
steps to ensure health and safety of its workforce without affecting 
its business continuity plans.

b)  Impact  on  the  profitability,  cash  flow,  liquidity  and 
financials

The  impact  on  the  operations  of  the  Company  on  account  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic, led to decline in steel deliveries which resulted 
in  decline  in  earnings  and  increase  in  inventories.  Post  relaxation 
of the lockdown, the plant production is gradually ramping up and 
the inventory is being liquidated based on market demand and off-
take.  The  Company’s  digital  initiatives  have  enabled  compliance 
of  the  internal  financial  controls  and  reporting  of  the  Company.  
The Company has been fulfilling its legal obligations as required for 
execution of the existing contracts/agreements.

The  Company  continues  to  have  a  strong  liquidity  position.  In 
response  to  the  COVID-19,  the  Company  is  focussed  on  conserving 
cash  and  liquidity  and  is  reducing  the  cost  base  to  align  with  the 
operating and market situation with strong focus on working capital 
management. The Company has raised funds since April 2020 through 
issue of Non-Convertible Debentures and Commercial Papers.

The Company has always strived to have a balanced maturity profile 
and a judicious mix of funding instruments which help in minimising 
costs  while  providing  flexibility  in  managing  cashflows.  Taking  its 
cashflows  and  liquidity  position  into  account,  the  Company  is  in  a 
position  to  service  its  debt  and  other  financing  arrangements.  The 
Company has chosen not to avail the moratorium offered by RBI on 
interest and principal payments, demonstrating its ability to service 
its debt obligations.

In  Europe  too,  cost  reduction  is  a  key  focus.  The  Company  has 
implemented  various  measures  across  the  European  operations 
including,  aligning  production  to  demand 
levels,  maximising 
flexible working practices, liaising with governments across different 
territories  to  seek  further  support,  and  reducing  all  non-essential 
spend. The measures are expected to help the Company to minimise 
costs  and  preserve  cash.  The  Company’s  European  operations 
have  no  debt  repayments  under  its  main  financing  facility  until 
2025  and  therefore  the  focus  is  on  conserving  cash  through  cost 
reduction measures.

BOARD’S REPORT (CONTD.)INTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEARc) Outlook of steel market

The  nationwide  lockdown  in  India  resulted  in  complete  halt  of 
activity  across  steel  consuming  sectors,  both  construction  and 
manufacturing.  While  gradual  resumption  of  business  activities 
coupled  with  stimulus  measures  announced  by  government  are 
expected to help revive the business activity, steel demand recovery 
is likely to be slower due to the unavailability of labour and weaker 
consumption  growth.  During  H1  FY2021,  most  of  the  construction 
demand  is  expected  to  be  driven  by  government  infrastructure 
projects  and  rural  construction.  However,  deferment  of  purchases 
of automotive and consumer durables coupled with weaker private 
investments and fragile exports is likely to keep steel consumption 
and consequently steel manufacturing at lower levels.

In  Europe,  the  COVID-19  pandemic  has  led  to  a  downgrading  of 
Europe’s  economic  outlook  and  steel  consumption  forecasts.  The 
situation  has  led  to  a  reduction  in  industrial  activity  across  Europe. 
While  national  lockdowns  are  now  being  eased  in  some  countries, 
the  automotive,  engineering  and  construction  sectors  are  showing 
slow signs of recovery. As a result, steel manufacturing is expected to 
be low in line with lesser demand. However, demand for packaging 
and plating steels used in food products and batteries continues to 
be strong through the pandemic and the outlook remains strong.

d) Corporate Social Responsibility – helping the community 
in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic

Apart from ensuring smooth operations at its facilities, the Company 
has also undertaken various initiatives to help combat the COVID-19 
situation. Tata Steel Medical Services has established 1,200 beds and 
more than 100 dedicated critical care beds in Jharkhand and Odisha, 
to  cater  to  those  affected  with  COVID-19.  The  testing  laboratory 
established at Jamshedpur was amongst the first to be established 
outside the government sector and two more laboratories are in the 
process of being established in Odisha. Tata Steel Medical Services has 
also contributed to extensive screening and testing in these regions.

The  Company  through  Tata  Steel  Foundation  (TSF)  and  with  the 
help  of  district  administrations  has  reached  out  to  citizens  in  the 
communities  where  the  Company  operates  i.e.  Jharkhand  and 
Odisha.  The  Company  has  taken  steps  to  provide  food,  sustainable 
livelihood to the communities and migrant labourers of the region, 
and  ration  and  safety  support  to  the  vulnerable  communities.  The 
Company has also augmented the medical facilities at the designated 
hospitals for medical treatment. 

X. RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
The  Company  operates  in  an  increasingly  complex,  volatile  and 
uncertain  business  environment  with  stringent  regulatory  and 
environmental  requirements.  The  Company  aspires  to  create  long-
term  value  for  its  stakeholders  by  embedding  risk  intelligence  and 
building resilience within the organisation. 

In  this  journey  towards  risk  intelligence,  a  robust  risk  governance 
is  developed  across  the  organisation  and  is  driven  by  the  Board  of 
Directors  through  the  Risk  Management  Committee  (‘RMC’)  of  the 
Board. The Company has also set up a management committee called 
the Group Risk Review Committee (‘GRRC’) which is responsible for 
the implementation of ERM process across the Company.

The  Company  has  implemented  an  Enterprise  Risk  Management 
(‘ERM’)  framework  to  provide  a  holistic  view  of  aggregated  risk 
exposures  as  well  as  to  facilitate  more  informed  decision-making. 
The ERM framework includes identification of risks and risk owners 
for  regular  tracking,  mitigation,  and  reporting  of  risks  to  help  the 
Company  meet  its  business  objectives.  The  Company  through  the 
ERM framework has identified key risks under various categories such 
as financial risks, macroeconomic and market risks, operational risks, 
safety risks, commodity risks, supply chain risks, information security 
risks, regulatory risks, climate change risks, and community risks. The 
Company has also mapped the severity of these risks and the likely 
impact on the Company and has developed mitigation strategies to 
eliminate or minimise the impact of the risks.

The COVID-19 outbreak is an unprecedented event and has certainly 
posed  challenges  for  the  Company.  The  risk  intelligent  culture 
embedded  across  the  Company  has  helped  in  developing  and 
adopting  a  multi-pronged  strategy  to  effectively  respond  to  the 
evolving  pandemic  situation.  Operations  were  aligned  with  the 
prevailing market conditions by reducing upstream operations while 
curtailing  downstream  operations.  Cross  functional  teams  worked 
to  manage  supply  chain  and  logistics  issues  within  the  constraints 
imposed  by  the  lockdown  to  ensure  that  plant  could  operate 
as  planned.  The  Company  also  focussed  on  cash  and  liquidity 
management to face any future disruption in business conditions.

Alongside  identification  of  risks,  the  Company  has  a  continuous 
process  of  monitoring  and  leveraging  opportunities  presented 
by  the  external  and  internal  environment.  Despite  the  immediate 
challenges  posed  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  the  Company  will 
continue  to  leverage  opportunities  provided  by  the  near-term  and 
long-term  macro  and  business  environment.  The  Company  has 
identified  various  opportunities  for  growth  and  improvement  and 
has  developed  strategies  to  leverage  these  opportunities.  These 
opportunities include identifying potential for organic and inorganic 
growth,  foraying  into  new  lines  of  business  to  cater  to  evolving 
needs of customers as well as to make the business more sustainable, 
developing business models to address issues on climate change, and 
embarking on the path of digital transformation to be a technology 
leader  in  the  industry  and  to  gain  a  competitive  advantage  over 
other players. 

A detailed overview on the risk landscape and mitigation strategies 
as well as the strategies for capitalising on opportunities in business 
is provided in the “Risk and Opportunities” Section forming part of 
the Integrated Report.

AUDIT 
The  Company  has  an  Internal  Financial  Controls  (‘IFC’)  framework, 
commensurate with the size, scale, and complexity of the Company’s 
operations. The framework has been designed to provide reasonable 
assurance with respect to recording and providing reliable financial 
laws, 
and  operational 
safeguarding  assets  from  unauthorised  use,  executing  transactions 
with  proper  authorisation,  and  ensuring  compliance  with 
corporate policies.

information,  complying  with  applicable 

The  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Audit  Committee  are  responsible 
for  ensuring  that  these  controls  are  adequate  and  operating 
effectively.  The  Financial  Statements  are  prepared  on  the  basis  of 
the  Significant  Accounting  Policies  that  are  carefully  selected  by 
the  Management.  These  policies  are  supported  by  the  Corporate 
Accounting and Systems that apply to the entity to implement the 
tenets  of  Corporate  Governance  and  the  Significant  Accounting 
Policies uniformly across the Company. The Company has laid down 
Standard Operating Procedures and policies to guide the operations 
of the business. Business heads are responsible to ensure compliance 
with  the  policies  and  procedures  laid  down  by  the  Management. 
Robust  and  continuous  internal  monitoring  mechanisms  ensure 
timely identification of risks and issues. The Company has deployed 
SAP Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) to test the effectiveness 
of  the  internal  controls.  The  controls  have  been  documented  and 
embedded in the business processes.

The  controls,  based  on  the  prevailing  business  conditions  and 
processes  have  been  tested  during  the  year  and  no  reportable 
material  weakness  in  the  design  or  effectiveness  was  observed. 
The  framework  on 
Internal  Financial  Controls  Over  Financial 
Reporting has been reviewed by the internal and external auditors. 
The Company uses various IT  platforms  to  keep  the  IFC  framework 
robust  and  our  Information  Management  Policy  governs  these  IT 
platforms. The systems, standard operating procedures, and controls 

are implemented by the executive leadership team and are reviewed 
by the internal audit team whose findings and recommendations are 
placed before the Audit Committee.

The  scope  and  authority  of  the  Internal  Audit  function  is  defined 
in  the  Internal  Audit  Charter.  To  maintain  its  objectivity  and 
independence, the Internal Audit function reports to the Chairman 
of the Audit Committee. The Internal Audit team develops an annual 
audit  plan  based  on  the  risk  profile  of  the  business  activities.  The 
Internal Audit plan is approved by the Audit Committee, which also 
reviews  compliance  to  the  plan.  The  Internal  Audit  team  monitors 
and evaluates the efficacy and adequacy of internal control systems 
in the Company, its compliance with operating systems, accounting 
procedures,  and  policies  at  all  locations  of  the  Company  and  its 
subsidiaries. Based on the report of internal audit function, process 
owners undertake corrective action(s) in their respective area(s) and 
thereby strengthen the controls.

Significant  audit  observations  and  corrective  action(s)  thereon 
are  presented  to  the  Audit  Committee.  The  Audit  Committee  at  its 
meetings  reviews  the  reports  submitted  by  the  Internal  Auditor. 
Also,  the  Audit  Committee  at  frequent  intervals  has  independent 
sessions with the statutory auditor and the Management to discuss 
the adequacy and effectiveness of internal financial controls.

XII. STATUTORY COMPLIANCE 
The Company has in place adequate systems and processes to ensure 
that it is in compliance with all applicable laws. The Company Secretary 
&  Chief  Legal  Officer  (Corporate  &  Compliance)  is  responsible  for 
implementing the systems and processes for monitoring compliance 
with  the  applicable  laws  and  for  ensuring  that  the  systems  and 
processes  are  operating  effectively.  The  Chief  Executive  Officer 
and  Managing  Director,  places  before  the  Board,  at  each  meeting, 
a  certificate  of  compliance  with  the  applicable  laws.  The  Company 
Secretary  &  Chief  Legal  Officer  (Corporate  &  Compliance)  also 
confirms compliance with Company law, SEBI Regulations and other 
corporate laws applicable to the Company.

Corporate Governance Report

Company’s Corporate Governance Philosophy
Corporate  Governance 
is  the  creation  and  enhancement  of  
long-term  sustainable  value  for  our  stakeholders,  comprising 
regulators,  employees,  customers,  vendors, 
investors,  and  the 
society at large, through ethically driven business practice. Effective 
corporate  governance  practices  constitute  the  strong  foundation 
on which successful commercial enterprises are built to last. Strong 
leadership and effective corporate governance practices have been 
the Company’s hallmark inherited from its culture and ethos. At Tata 
Steel, it is imperative that our Company’s affairs are managed in a fair 
and transparent manner. 

We  ensure  that  we  evolve  and  follow  not  just  the  stated  corporate 
governance guidelines, but also global best practices. We consider it 
our inherent responsibility to protect the rights of our shareholders 
and disclose timely, adequate and accurate information regarding our 
financials and performance, as well as the leadership and governance 
of the Company. 

In accordance with our Vision, Tata Steel Group (‘the Group’) aspires 
to  be  the  global  steel  industry  benchmark  for  ‘value  creation’  and 
‘corporate  citizenship’.  The  Group  expects  to  realise  its  Vision  by

2015  (‘SEBI  Listing  Regulations’),  as  applicable,  with  regard  to 
corporate governance.

further  strengthen  our  Company’s  corporate  governance 
philosophy,  the  Company  has  also  adopted  the  Tata  Business 
Excellence Model.

held when necessary. Committees of the Board usually meet the day 
before or on the day of the formal Board meeting, or whenever the 
need  arises  for  transacting  business.  The  recommendations  of  the 
Committees are placed before the Board for necessary approval.

Investor grievance and share transfer system

We  have  a  Board-level  Stakeholders’  Relationship  Committee  to 
examine and redress investors’ complaints. The status on complaints 
and share transfers are reported to the entire Board.

During the Financial Year 2018-19, the SEBI and MCA have mandated 
the existing members of the Company who hold securities in physical 
form  and  intend  to  transfer  their  securities  after  April  1,  2019,  can 
do  so  only  in  dematerialised  form.  Therefore,  Members  holding 
shares in physical form were requested to consider converting their 
shareholding to dematerialised form. 

Share  transactions  in  electronic  form  can  be  effected  in  a  much 
simpler  and  faster  manner.  After  a  confirmation  of  a  sale/purchase 
transaction  from  the  broker,  shareholders  should  approach  the 
Depository  Participant  (‘DP’)  with  a  request  to  debit  or  credit  the 
account  for  the  transaction.  The  DP  will  immediately  arrange  to 
complete the transaction by updating the account. There is no need 
for  a  separate  communication  to  the  Company  to  register  these 
share transfers.

Shareholders  should  communicate  with  TSR  Darashaw  Consultants 
Private  Limited,  (formerly  TSR  Darashaw  Limited)  the  Company’s 
Registrars and Transfer Agent (‘RTA’) quoting their folio number or 
Depository  Participant  ID  (‘DP  ID’)  and  Client  ID  number,  for  any 
queries to their securities.

Legal proceedings

There are certain pending cases related to disputes over title to shares 
in which the Company had been made a party. However, these cases 
are not material in nature.

Commodity Price Risk 

Commodities  are  critical  inputs  to  the  manufacturing  of  steel. 
Volatility  in  commodity  prices  is  an  inherent  market  risk  for  the 
Company  as  it  impacts  the  profitability  and  cash  flows.  However, 
steel  prices,  over  the  long-term,  tend  to  follow  the  trend  of 
commodity prices which provides a natural hedge to the business. 

In India, the Company has captive iron ore that meet 100% of its iron 
ore requirements and coal mines which meet about a quarter of its 
coking  coal  requirement.  These  captive  mines  provide  a  structural 
hedge to the price risk of these commodities. 

A  dedicated  commodity  sourcing  team  has  been  set  up,  which 
engages  with  key  raw  material  producers  across  the  globe  and  the 
commodity  market  at  large  to  optimise  sourcing.  The  team  also 
does  a  regular  risk  assessment  of  the  supply  chain  and  proactively 
engages  in  diversification  of  vendors,  geographies,  development 
of  substitutes,  and  value-in-use  ('VIU')  optimisation  framework 
to  mitigate,  to  the  extent  practical,  the  impact  of  disruptions  in 
the supply chain. 

To address the short-term price volatility, the Company also hedges certain commodities in the derivatives market. Exposure of the Company 
to commodity and commodity risk faced by the Company throughout the year:

Width Extra to Order ('ETO') Reduction

In  the  absence  of  adequate  beneficiation  facility  at  Noamundi,  ~15%  of  wet  Run  of  Mine  is 
discarded as slime having ~8% Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) and ~55% Iron. Based on modelling 
and simulation results, continuous trial of 25 tons/hour capacity was carried out using modular 
second stage hydro cyclone plant at Noamundi for a period of 30 days. The trials have indicated 
a potential to recover approximately 50% iron value from slime having ~4.5% Aluminium Oxide 
and ~62% Iron.
Wollastonite  based  calcium  silicate  has  been  established  as  flux  in  iron  ore  pelletisation  to 
improve the pellet strength and productivity. Trails at 6 MnTPA pelletising plant at 1.3% dosage 
successfully improved the pellet Cold Compressive Strength ('CCS') by 30 points.
The  process  has  demonstrated  the  technology  at  bench  scale  with  40%  non-coking  coal  in 
the coal blend and the Company is planning to upscale the technology to a continuous coke 
making at a scale of 1 ton/hour.
5 tons/day CO2 capture pilot plant from Blast Furnace ('BF') gas has been installed at LD#1 of 
the Jamshedpur Plant.
5  m3/hour  Pilot  study  of  new  advance  oxidation  process  for  Tertiary  treatment  for  cyanide 
removal below 0.2 PPM (parts per million) of total cyanide has been established. The Detailed 
Project Report of full scale plant @100 m3/hour has also been completed. The fabrication and 
installation of the commercial plant is under processing. 
Established  a  process  for  using  water-cooled  and  air-cooled  Ferro  Chrome  slag  material 
in  applications  such  as  bitumen  road,  concrete  and  fly  ash  slag  bricks.  The  Company  also 
constructed the first bitumen road of India without using any other natural aggregate (except 
Ferro Chrome slag) at Ferro Alloys Plant, Bamnipal premises and it is performing well under 
heavy traffic conditions.
A laser profile meter system installed at H Blast Furnace images real time top burden profile. 
An algorithm is developed which further processes the image data to generate critical insights 
for blast furnace operators such as check for non-uniformity in distribution, burden descent 
rate, layer profile, coke ratio distribution across the diameter of furnace across all radial points 
amongst others. This system does not require any safety interlocks as compared to conventional 
mechanical probe based profilometer because of its non-invasive nature which gives flexibility 
to the operator to operate it for 24 hours through 7 days for multiple times, without any down 
time for burden charging.

The model developed by Hot Strip Mill ('HSM') Operations team and Research & Development 
team predicts coiling feasibility through first principles and has been useful in development of 
API X-70.
The  predictive  model  for  HSM  power  consumption  developed  based  on  the  past  power 
consumption  data  and  rolling  schedule,  with  an  accuracy  of  86%,  helps  in  final  power  
scheduling.
Advance analytic techniques such as Gradient Boost, Random Forest, Partial dependency and 
Density plot are being used to determine the most influencing parameters and their boundary 
limits,  which  has  helped  in  optimising  the  performance  of  width  control  model.  This  has 
resulted in reduction in ETO on account of width by 88%.

Jamshedpur

Mining:

•  An  insight  development  on  application  of  blast  free  mining 
technology  (Surface  Miner)  in  hard  rock  (Underground  Coal 
Study:  ~80  Mpa)  such  as  overburden  material  (sandstone, 
shale  etc.)  near  West  Bokaro  has  been  conducted.  This  would 
be  a  first  of  its  kind  in  the  world  for  removing  materials  which 
creates overburden. 

•  The identification of Strata monitoring parameters and suitable 
instruments to understand strata behaviour and design suitable 
support system for Jharia group coal mines has been conducted. 
The  procurement  for  the  instruments  used  in  this  process  is 
currently underway.

Ore Beneficiation Technology

•  Assessing  and  improving  screw  classifier  performance  at  wet 

plant, Noamundi Iron Ore Mines. 

•  Finalising  0.6  MnTPA  slime  beneficiation  using  High  Gradient 

improvement  on  raw  coal  basis  established  by  replacement 
of conventional rotor-stator in 3 flotation cells (out of 12) with 
new  generation  mixing  mechanism  (Float  Force)  developed 
by  Outotec.  Mixing  mechanism  is  the  heart  of  a  flotation 
cell  which  provides  turbulent  energy,  allows  suspension  of 
coal particles in the slurry and collision of coal particles with 
air  bubbles.  Parallel  deployment  in  3  other  flotation  cells  at 
Washery#3 is in progress

Coal Coke

•  Leaner  blend  practice  at  Hoogly  Met  Coke  ('HMC')  without 
affecting  the  coke  quality:  Usage  of  prime  hard  coking  coal 
reduced from 34% to 20%. This accrued benefits of `60 crore.

•  Developing  coal  blend  optimiser  to  have  optimum  distribution   
of  coals  across  all  sites  with  minimum  blend  cost  for  Tata   
Steel India. 

Agglomeration

•  Developing Iron ore distribution model with the aim to optimise 

overall cost (Logistics and Value in Use) across the sites.

Magnetic Separator (‘HGMS’) plant at Noamundi

Blast Furnaces

•  Finalising paste thickener technology for slime disposal at OMQ

• 

Improving  efficiency  of  Gomardih  dolomite  for  production 
of  Magnesium  by  TechMag  process  through  thermodynamic 
feasibility  study.  This  can  yield  a  magnesium  with  grade 
of 99.6% purity.

Coal Beneficiation Technology

•  Enhancing  process  visibility  at  West  Bokaro  washery#3  by 
installing  of  6  flow  meters  and  6  density  meters  in  critical 
locations of Washery#3 fines circuit – flotation, vacuum belt filter, 
reflux classifier. 

•  Enablers to improve flotation performance: 

 A. 

 New  Technology:  Lab  studies  in  Hydrophobic  Hydrophilic 
Separation  (an  advanced  version  of  oil  agglomeration)  at 
Virginia  Tech.  (USA)  indicate  possibility  to  achieve  higher 
yields  at  a  significantly 
lower  ash  (>9%)  and  moisture 
(<2%) simultaneously

B. 

Levers in the existing flotation process:

 − Clean Coal Yield Improvement at Bhelatand Coal Preparation 
Plant ('BCPP'): Trial and regularisation of additional Coagulant 
and flocculant in effluent of Bird Centrifuge at BCPP, resulting 
in 0.58% yield gain on Raw Coal basis.

 − Installation  of  Float  Force  -  a  new  mixing  mechanism 
in,  'Flotation  cell'  at  Washery  #3:  0.4%  clean  coal  yield 

•  Utilising  of  3.15  mm  to  5  mm  size  sinter  at  ‘I’  blast  furnace  for 
the  first  time  in  India,  which  has  led  to  a  greater  proportion  of

Emphasis of Matter

(a)  

 Note 7 (iv) to the standalone financial statements which 
states that the ability of the Tata Steel Europe (TSE), the 
step-down subsidiary of T Steel Holdings Pte Ltd (TSH), 
a  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  to  continue  as  a  going 
concern is dependent on the outcome of measures taken 
as  stated  therein  and  the  availability  of  future  funding 
requirements,  which  could  have  a  consequential 
impact  on  the  carrying  amount  of 
investment  of 
`20,854.89  crores  (net  of  provision  for  impairment 
amounting to `860.00 crores) in TSH as at March 31, 2020. 
Further,  the  auditors  of  TSE  have,  without  modifying 
the  opinion,  reported  a  Material  Uncertainty  Related

explains the uncertainties and management’s assessment 
of  the  financial  impact  due  to  lockdown  /  restrictions 
related  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic  imposed  by  the 
Governments,  for  which  a  definitive  assessment  of  the 
impact is dependent upon future economic conditions.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Opinion

1. 

2.  

 We  have  audited  the  accompanying  standalone  financial 
statements  of  Tata  Steel  Limited  (“the  Company”),  which 
comprise  the  balance  sheet  as  at  March  31,  2020,  and  the 
statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive 
Income),  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  statement 
of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the 
including  a  summary 
standalone  financial  statements, 
of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory 
information  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  “the  Standalone 
Financial Statements”).

 In our opinion and to the best of our information and according 
to  the  explanations  given  to  us,  the  aforesaid  standalone 
financial  statements  give  the  information  required  by  the 
Companies  Act,  2013  (“the  Act”)  in  the  manner  so  required 
and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting 
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of 
the  Company  as  at  March  31,  2020,  and  total  comprehensive 
income (comprising profit and other comprehensive income), 
changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

3.  

 We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Standards 
on  Auditing  (SAs)  specified  under  section  143(10)  of  the 
Act.  Our  responsibilities  under  those  Standards  are  further 
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities 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 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 thereunder, and we have 
fulfilled  our  other  ethical  responsibilities  in  accordance  with 
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the 
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate 
to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

5. 

  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.

Key audit matter
Assessment  of 
contingent liabilities

litigations  and 

related  disclosure  of 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included the following:

[Refer  to  Note  2  (c)  to  the  Standalone  financial  statements–  “Use 
of estimates and critical accounting judgements – Provisions and 
contingent  liabilities”,  Note  37  (A)  to  the  Standalone  Financial 
Statements  –  “Contingencies”  and  Note  38  to  the  Standalone 
financial statements – “Other significant litigations”].

As at March 31, 2020, the Company has exposures towards litigations 
relating to various matters as set out in the aforesaid Notes. 

Significant  management  judgement  is  required  to  assess  such 
matters  to  determine  the  probability  of  occurrence  of  material 
outflow  of  economic  resources  and  whether  a  provision  should 
be recognised, or a disclosure should be made. The management 
judgement is also supported with legal advice in certain cases as 
considered appropriate.

As  the  ultimate  outcome  of  the  matters  are  uncertain  and  the 
positions taken by the management are based on the application 
of  their  best  judgement,  related  legal  advice  including  those 
relating to interpretation of laws/regulations, it is considered to be 
a Key Audit Matter.

•  We understood, assessed and tested the design and operating 
effectiveness  of  key  controls  surrounding  assessment  of 
litigations relating to the relevant laws and regulations;

•  We discussed with management the recent developments and 
the status of the material litigations which were reviewed and 
noted by the audit committee;

•  We  performed  our  assessment  on  a  test  basis  on  the 
underlying  calculations  supporting  the  contingent  liabilities/
other 
the  Standalone 
Financial Statements;

litigations  made 

significant 

in 

•  We  used  auditor’s  experts  to  gain  an  understanding  and  to 

evaluate the disputed tax matters;

•  We  considered  external 
obtained by management;

legal  opinions,  where  relevant, 

•  We  met  with  the  Company’s  external 

legal  counsel  to 
understand  the  interpretation  of  laws/regulations  considered 
by  the  management 
in  their  assessment  relating  to  a 
material litigation;

•  We  evaluated  management’s  assessments  by  understanding 
precedents  set  in  similar  cases  and  assessed  the  reliability  of 
the management’s past estimates/judgements;

•  We  evaluated  management’s  assessment  around  those 
matters that are not disclosed or not considered as contingent 
liability, as the probability of material outflow is considered to 
be remote by the management; and

•  We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures.

Based  on  the  above  work  performed,  assessment  in  respect  of 
litigations and related disclosures relating to contingent liabilities/
other significant litigations in the Standalone Financial Statements 
are considered to be reasonable.

Assessment of carrying value of equity investments in 
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and fair value 
of other investments

[Refer to Note 2 (c) to the Standalone Financial Statements – “Use 
of estimates and critical accounting judgements – Impairment and 
fair value measurements of financial instruments”, Note 2 (m) to the 
Standalone  Financial  Statements  –  “Investments  in  subsidiaries, 
associates  and  joint  ventures”,  Note  2(n)(I)  to  the  Standalone 
Financial Statements – “Financial assets”, Note 7 to the Standalone 
Financial Statements – Investments in subsidiaries, associates and 
joint  ventures”,  Note  8  to  the  Standalone  Financial  Statements 
–  “Investments”  and  Note  40  (b)  to  the  Standalone  Financial 
Statements – “Fair value hierarchy”] 

The  Company  has  equity  investments  in  various  subsidiaries, 
associates,  joint  ventures  and  other  companies.  It  also  has  made 
investments in preference shares in certain subsidiaries /associates 
and debentures in a joint venture.

The  Company  accounts  for  equity  investments  in  subsidiaries, 
associates  and  joint  ventures  at  cost  (subject  to  impairment 
assessment) and other investments at fair value.

For  investments  carried  at  cost  amounting  to  `27,798.56  crores 
where  an  indication  of  impairment  exists,  the  carrying  value  of 
investment  is  assessed  for  impairment  and  where  applicable  an 
impairment provision is recognised amounting to ` 1,220.15 crores, 
in case the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value.

For investments carried at fair values, a fair valuation is done at the 
year-end as required by Ind AS 109. In case of certain investments, 
cost  is  considered  as  an  appropriate  estimate  of  fair  value  since 
there  is  a  wide  range  of  possible  fair  value  measurements  and 
cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range as 
permitted under Ind AS 109.

The  accounting  for  investments  is  a  Key  Audit  Matter  as  the 
determination  of  recoverable  value  for  impairment  assessment/
fair valuation involves significant management judgement.

The impairment assessment and fair valuation for such investments 
have  been  done  by  the  management  in  accordance  with  Ind  AS 
36  and  Ind  AS  113  respectively.  The  key  inputs  and  judgements 
involved in the impairment/fair valuation assessment of unquoted 
investments include:

•  Forecast cash flows including assumptions on growth rates

•  Discount rates

•  Terminal growth rate

Economic and entity specific factors are incorporated in valuation 
used in the impairment assessment.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included the following:

•  We  obtained  an  understanding  from  the  management, 
assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of 
the  Company’s  key  controls  over  the  impairment  assessment 
and fair valuation of material investments.

•  We  evaluated  the  Company’s  process  regarding  impairment 
assessment and fair valuation by involving auditor’s valuation 
experts  to  assist  in  assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the 
valuation  model 
independent  assessment 
of  the  underlying  assumptions  relating  to  discount  rate, 
terminal value etc.

including  the 

•  We  assessed  the  carrying  value/fair  value  calculations  of 
all  individually  material  investments,  where  applicable,  to 
determine whether the valuations performed by the Company 
were  within  an  acceptable  range  determined  by  us  and  the 
auditor’s valuation experts.

•  We evaluated the cash flow forecasts (with underlying economic 
growth rate) by comparing them to the approved budgets and 
our understanding of the internal and external factors.

•  We  checked  the  mathematical  accuracy  of  the  impairment 
model  and  agreed  relevant  data  back  to  the  latest  budgets, 
actual past results and other supporting documents.

•  We assessed the Company’s sensitivity analysis and evaluated 
whether  any  reasonably  foreseeable  change  in  assumptions 
could lead to impairment or material change in fair valuation.

•  We discussed with the component auditors of certain entities 
to  develop  an  understanding  of  the  operating  performance 
and outlook used in their own valuation model and to assess 
consistency with the assumptions used in the model.

•  We  had  discussions  with  management 

to  obtain  an 
understanding  of  the  relevant  factors  in  respect  of  certain 
investments  carried  at  fair  value  where  a  wide  range  of  fair 
values  were  possible  due  to  various  factors  such  as  absence 
of  recent  observable  transactions,  restrictions  on  transfer  of 
shares,  existence  of  multiple  valuation  techniques,  investee’s 
varied nature of portfolio of investments for which significant 
estimates/judgements are required to arrive at fair value.

•  We  evaluated  the  adequacy  of  the  disclosures  made  in  the 

Standalone Financial Statements.

Based  on  the  above  procedures  performed,  we  did  not  identify 
any  significant  exceptions  in  the  management’s  assessment  in 
relation to the carrying value of equity investments in subsidiaries, 
associates and joint ventures and fair value of other investments.

6. 

 The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other 
information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Integrated Report, Board’s Report along with its 
Annexures and Financial Highlights included in the Company’s 
Annual  Report  (titled  as  ‘Tata  Steel  Integrated  Report  & 
Annual Accounts 2019-20’) but does not include the financial 
statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

 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 
inconsistent  with  the  standalone  financial 
is  materially 
statements  or  our  knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit  or 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 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.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with 
governance for the standalone financial statements

7.  

 The  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  standalone  financial  statements  that 
give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  financial  position,  financial 
performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company 
in  accordance  with  the  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified 
under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes 
maintenance  of  adequate  accounting  records  in  accordance 
with  the  provisions  of  the  Act  for  safeguarding  of  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 
statements  that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  and  are  free  from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

8. 

  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. The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing 
the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone 
financial statements

9.  

 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.

10.   

 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  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 with reference to standalone financial statements 
in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• 

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

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of 
the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and,  based  on  the 
audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty 
exists  related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast 
significant  doubt  on  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, 
inadequate,  to 
if  such  disclosures  are 
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 
standalone  financial 
statements  represent  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

the 

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

 We  also  provide  those  charged  with  governance  with  a 
statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements  regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate 
with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters  that  may 
reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and 
where applicable, related safeguards.

 From  the  matters  communicated  with  those  charged  with 
governance,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most 
significance in the audit of the 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.

Auditors’ Responsibility

3.  

 Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 
internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  standalone 
financial  statements  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”) and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed 
under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an 
audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit 
of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. 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  with  reference  to  financial  statements  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  with  reference  to  financial  statements  and  their 
operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls 
with  reference  to  standalone  financial  statements  included 
obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  financial  controls 
with reference to financial statements, 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 standalone financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error.

 We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is 
sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit 
opinion  on  the  Company’s  internal  financial  controls  system 
with reference to standalone financial statements.

Meaning  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  with  reference  to 
financial statements

6.  

internal  financial  controls  with  reference 
 A  company’s 
to  financial  statements  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 controls 
with reference to financial statements 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  authorisation  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

7.  

 Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls 
with reference to financial statements, 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

reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the 
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

8.  

 In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to standalone 
financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were operating effectively as 
at March 31,2020, 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. Also refer paragraph 4(b) of our report.

 The Company is maintaining proper records showing full 
particulars,  including  quantitative  details  and  situation, 
of fixed assets.

(b)  

the 
 The  fixed  assets  are  physically  verified  by 
Management  according 
to  a  phased  programme 
designed  to  cover  all  the  items  over  a  period  of  three 
years which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard 
to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. 
Pursuant to the programme, a portion of the fixed assets 
has been physically verified by the Management during 
the year and no material discrepancies have been noticed 
on such verification.

(c)  

 According  to  the  information  and  explanations  given 
to  us  and  the  records  examined  by  us,  the  title  deeds 
of  immovable  properties,  as  disclosed  in  Note  3  on 
property,  plant  and  equipment  to  the  Standalone 
Financial  Statements,  are  held  in  the  name  of  the 
Company, except for:

respectively, which are not readily available.

ii.  

 The  physical  verification  of  inventory  [excluding  stocks  with 
third parties] have been conducted at reasonable intervals by 
the Management during the year. In respect of inventory lying 
with  third  parties,  these  have  substantially  been  confirmed 
by  them.  In  respect  of  inventories  of  stores  and  spares,  the 
Management has a verification programme designed to cover 
the  items  over  a  period  of  three  years.  The  discrepancies 
noticed  on  physical  verification  of  inventory  as  compared  to 
book records were not material.

v. 

vi.  

 The Company has not granted any loans, secured or unsecured, 
to  companies,  firms,  Limited  Liability  Partnerships  or  other

in respect of the loans and investments made, and guarantees 
and security provided by it, as applicable. 

 The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public 
within the meaning of section 73, 74, 75 and 76. In our opinion,

and the Rules framed thereunder to the extent notified, with 
regard  to  the  deposits  accepted  from  the  public.  According 
to the information and explanations given to us, no order has 
been passed by the Company Law Board or National Company 
Law Tribunal or Reserve Bank of India or any Court or any other 
Tribunal on the Company in respect of the aforesaid deposits.

 Pursuant to the rules made by the Central Government of India, 
the Company is required to maintain cost records as specified 
under Section 148(1) of the Act in respect of its products. We 
have broadly reviewed the same, and are of the opinion that, 
prima  facie,  the  prescribed  accounts  and  records  have  been 
made and maintained. We have not, however, made a detailed 
examination of the records with a view to determine whether 
they are accurate or complete.

vii. (a)  According  to  the  information  and  explanations  given  to 
us  and  the  records  of  the  Company  examined  by  us,  in  our 
opinion,  the  Company  is  generally  regular  in  depositing 
undisputed  statutory  dues  in  respect  of  income  tax,  though 
there has been a slight delay in a few cases, and is regular in 
depositing  undisputed  statutory  dues,  including  provident 
fund, employees’s state insurance, sales tax, service tax, duty 
of customs, duty of excise , value added tax, cess, goods and 
services tax and other material statutory dues, as applicable, 
with  the  appropriate  authorities.  We  are  informed  that  the 
Company  has  applied  for  exemption  from  operations  of 
Employee’s  State  Insurance  Act  at  some  locations.  We  are 
also  informed  that  actions  taken  by  the  authorities  at  some 
locations  to  bring  the  employees  of  the  Company  under 
the  Employees’  State  Insurance  Scheme  has  been  contested 
by  the  Company  and  payment  has  not  been  made  of  the 
contribution demanded.

1.  Company information

(c)  Use of estimates and critical accounting judgements

 Tata Steel Limited (“the Company”) is a public limited Company 
incorporated  in  India  with  its  registered  office  in  Mumbai, 
Maharashtra, India. The Company is listed on the BSE Limited 
(BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).

 The Company has presence across the entire value chain of steel 
manufacturing from mining and processing iron ore and coal 
to producing and distributing finished products. The Company 
offers a broad range of steel products including a portfolio of 
high  value  added  downstream  products  such  as  hot  rolled, 
cold rolled, coated steel, rebars, wire rods, tubes and wires.

 The  functional  and  presentation  currency  of  the  Company 
is  Indian  Rupee  (“₹”)  which  is  the  currency  of  the  primary 
economic environment in which the Company operates.

 As on March 31, 2020, Tata Sons Private Limited owns 32.93 % 
of the Ordinary Shares of the Company, and has the ability to 
influence the Company’s operations.

 The  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020 
were  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and  authorised  for 
issue on June 29, 2020.

2.  Significant accounting policies

 The  significant  accounting  policies  applied  by  the  Company 
in the preparation of its financial statements are listed below. 
Such  accounting  policies  have  been  applied  consistently  to 
all the periods presented in these financial statements, unless 
otherwise indicated.

(a)  Statement of compliance

   The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance 
with  the  Indian  Accounting  Standards  (referred  to  as  “Ind 
AS”)  prescribed  under  section  133  of  the  Companies  Act, 
2013  read  with  Companies  (Indian  Accounting  Standards) 
Rules,  as  amended  from  time  to  time  and  other  relevant 
provisions of the Act.

(b)  Basis of preparation

 The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the 
historical  cost  convention  with  the  exception  of  certain 
assets  and  liabilities  that  are  required  to  be  carried  at  fair 
value by Ind AS.

 Fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset 
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market participants at the measurement date.

228

 In the preparation of financial statements, the Company makes 
judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  about  the  carrying 
values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  readily  apparent 
from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions 
are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other  factors  that  are 
considered  to  be  relevant.  Actual  results  may  differ  from 
these estimates.

 Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on 
an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates  are 
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and 
future periods affected.

   Key source of estimation of uncertainty at the date of financial 
statements,  which  may  cause  material  adjustment  to  the 
carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next 
financial  year,  is  in  respect  of  impairment,  useful  lives  of 
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, valuation 
of deferred tax assets, provisions and contingent liabilities, fair 
value  measurements  of  financial  instruments  and  retirement 
benefit obligations as discussed below:

Impairment

  The Company estimates the value in use of the cash generating 
unit (CGU) based on future cash flows after considering current 
economic  conditions  and  trends,  estimated  future  operating 
results and growth rates and anticipated future economic and 
regulatory conditions. The estimated cash flows are developed 
using  internal  forecasts.  The  cash  flows  are  discounted  using 
a  suitable  discount  rate  in  order  to  calculate  the  present 
value.  Further  details  of  the  Company’s  impairment  review 
and  key  assumptions  are  set  out  in  note  3,  page  240,  note  5, 
page 244 , note 6, page 245, and note 7, page 246.

 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and 
intangible assets

 The  Company  reviews  the  useful  life  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting 
period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation 
and  amortisation  expense  in  future  periods.  The  policy  has 
been detailed in note 2(i), page 231.

Valuation of deferred tax assets

   The  Company  reviews  the  carrying  amount  of  deferred  tax 
assets at the end of each reporting period. The policy has been 
detailed in note 2(u), page 237 and its further information are 
set out in note 11, page 258.

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

Provisions and contingent liabilities

 A  provision  is  recognised  when  the  Company  has  a  present 
obligation as result of a past event and it is probable that the 
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, 
in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are 
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the 
current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognised 
in  the  financial  statements.  Further  details  are  set  out  in 
note 22, page 276 and note 37A, page 291.

Fair value measurements of financial instruments

  When  the  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities 
recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on 
quoted  prices  in  active  markets,  their  fair  value  is  measured 
using  valuation  techniques  including  Discounted  Cash  Flow 
Model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable 
markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree 
of judgement is required in establishing fair value. Judgements 
include  considerations  of  inputs  such  as  liquidity  risks,  credit 
risks and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors 
could  affect  the  reported  fair  value  of  financial  instruments. 
Further details are set out in note 40,  page 297.

Retirement benefit obligations

  The  Company’s  retirement  benefit  obligations  are  subject 
to  number  of  judgements  including  discount  rates,  inflation 
and salary growth. Significant judgements are required when 
setting  these  criteria  and  a  change  in  these  assumptions 
would  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  amount  recorded  in 
the Company’s balance sheet and the statement of profit and 
loss. The Company sets these judgements based on previous 
experience and third party actuarial advice. Further details on 
the  Company’s  retirement  benefit  obligations,  including  key 
judgements are set out in note 36, page 284.

Estimation of uncertainties relating to COVID-19

 Post  declaration  of  COVID-19  as  a  pandemic  by  the  World 
Health  Organization,  the  Government  in  India  have  taken 
significant  measures  to  curtail  the  wide  spread  of  virus, 
including country wide lockdown and restriction in economic 
activities.  In  view  of  such  lockdowns,  operations  at  the 
Company’s steel making facilities have been scaled down from 
the end week of March 2020.

 In view of the impact of COVID-19, the Company has assessed 
the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, right-
of-use assets, intangible assets, inventories, trade receivables, 

investments  and  other  financial  assets.  In  assessing  the 
recoverable value of such assets, the Company has considered 
various  internal  and  external  information  such  as  existing 
long-term arrangements with customer and vendor partners, 
long-term  business  plan,  cash  flow  forecasts  and  possible 
future  uncertainties  in  economic  conditions  because  of  the 
pandemic including lockdowns and supply chain disruptions.

 As per the Company’s current assessment of recoverability of 
these assets, other than the impairment recorded, no significant 
impact on carrying amounts of these assets is expected.

 The  eventual  outcome  of  the  impact  of  the  global  health 
pandemic  may  be  different  from  those  estimated  as  on 
the  date  of  approval  of  these  financial  statements  and  the 
Company continues to closely monitor the situation including 
any  material  changes  to  future  economic  conditions  and 
consequential impact on its financial statements.

(d)  Property, plant and equipment

  An item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an 
asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated 
with  the  item  will  flow  to  the  Company  and  its  cost  can  be 
measured  reliably.  This  recognition  principle  is  applied  to 
costs incurred initially to acquire an item of property, plant and 
equipment and also to costs incurred subsequently to add to, 
replace part of, or service it. All other repair and maintenance 
costs,  including  regular  servicing,  are  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit and loss as incurred. When a replacement 
occurs,  the  carrying  value  of  the  replaced  part 
is  de-
recognised. Where an item of property, plant and equipment 
comprises  major  components  having  different  useful  lives, 
these components are accounted for as separate items.

 Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost or deemed cost 
applied on transition to Ind AS, less accumulated depreciation 
and impairment. Cost includes all direct costs and expenditures 
incurred  to  bring  the  asset  to  its  working  condition  and 
location for its intended use. Trial run expenses (net of revenue) 
are capitalised. Borrowing costs incurred during the period of 
construction is capitalised as part of cost of qualifying asset.

   The gain or loss arising on disposal of an item of property, plant 
and equipment is determined as the difference between sale 
proceeds and carrying value of such item, and is recognised in 
the statement of profit and loss.

(e)  Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources

 Expenditures  associated  with  search  for  specific  mineral 
resources are recognised as exploration and evaluation assets. 
The following expenditure comprises cost of exploration and

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

• 

sinking  shafts  and  underground  drifts  (often  called 
mine development)

evaluation assets: The following expenditure comprises cost of 
exploration and evaluation assets:

•  obtaining  of  the  rights  to  explore  and  evaluate  mineral 
reserves  and  resources  including  costs  directly  related  to 
this acquisition

• 

researching and analysing existing exploration data

•  conducting 

geological 

studies, 

exploratory 

drilling and sampling

•  examining and testing extraction and treatment methods

•  compiling pre-feasibility and feasibility studies

•  activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility 
and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource

 Administration  and  other  overhead  costs  are  charged  to  the 
cost of exploration and evaluation assets only if directly related 
to an exploration and evaluation project.

 If a project does not prove viable, all irrecoverable exploration 
and  evaluation  expenditure  associated  with  the  project  net 
of  any  related  impairment  allowances  is  written  off  to  the 
statement of profit and loss.

 The Company measures its exploration and evaluation assets 
at  cost  and  classifies  as  property,  plant  and  equipment  or 
intangible assets according to the nature of the assets acquired 
and applies the classification consistently. To the extent that a 
tangible asset is consumed in developing an intangible asset, 
the amount reflecting that consumption is capitalised as a part 
of the cost of the intangible asset.

 As  the  asset  is  not  available  for  use,  it  is  not  depreciated.  All 
exploration and evaluation assets are monitored for indications 
of impairment. An exploration and evaluation asset is no longer 
classified as such when the technical feasibility and commercial 
viability  of  extracting  a  mineral  resource  are  demonstrable 
and  the  development  of  the  deposit  is  sanctioned  by  the 
management.  The  carrying  value  of  such  exploration  and 
evaluation asset is reclassified to mining assets.

(f)  Development expenditure for mineral reserves

is  the  establishment  of  access  to  mineral 
 Development 
reserves 
commercial 
production.  Development  activities  often  continue  during 
production and include:

preparations 

other 

and 

for 

•  making permanent excavations

•  developing passageways and rooms or galleries

•  building roads and tunnels and

•  advance removal of overburden and waste rock

  Development  (or  construction)  also  includes  the  installation 
of infrastructure (e.g., roads, utilities and housing), machinery, 
equipment and facilities.

 Development expenditure is capitalised and presented as part of 
mining assets. No depreciation is charged on the development 
expenditure before the start of commercial production.

(g)  Provision for restoration and environmental costs

 The  Company  has  liabilities  related  to  restoration  of  soil  and 
other related works, which are due upon the closure of certain 
of its mining sites.

liabilities  are  estimated  case-by-case  based  on 
 Such 
available  information,  taking  into  account  applicable  local 
legal  requirements.  The  estimation  is  made  using  existing 
technology,  at  current  prices,  and  discounted  using  an 
appropriate  discount  rate  where  the  effect  of  time  value  of 
money  is  material.  Future  restoration  and  environmental 
costs,  discounted  to  net  present  value,  are  capitalised  and 
the corresponding restoration liability is raised as soon as the 
obligation  to  incur  such  costs  arises.  Future  restoration  and 
environmental  costs  are  capitalised  in  property,  plant  and 
equipment or mining assets as appropriate and are depreciated 
over  the  life  of  the  related  asset.  The  effect  of  time  value  of 
money on the restoration and environmental costs liability is 
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

(h) 

Intangible assets

included 

 Patents,  trademarks  and  software  costs  are 
in 
the  balance  sheet  as  intangible  assets  when  it  is  probable 
that  associated  future  economic  benefits  would  flow  to  the 
Company. In this case they are measured initially at purchase 
cost  and  then  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their 
estimated  useful  lives.  All  other  costs  on  patents,  trademarks 
and software are expensed in the statement of profit and loss 
as and when incurred.

 Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense 
in the period in which it is incurred. Costs incurred on individual

  Depreciation or amortisation is provided so as to write off, on 
a  staright-line  basis,  the  cost/deemed  cost  of  property,  plant 
and  equipment  and  intangible  assets,  including  right-of-use 
assets  to  their  residual  value.  These  charges  are  commenced 
from the dates the assets are available for their intended use 
and  are  spread  over  their  estimated  useful  economic  lives

expects  to  use  these  assets.  Hence  the  useful  lives  for  these 
assets  are  different  from  the  useful  lives  as  prescribed  under 
Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Impairment

   At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying 
value  of  its  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  intangible 
assets  to  determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  the 
carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable through 
continuing  use.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  recoverable 
amount  of  the  asset  is  reviewed  in  order  to  determine  the 
extent  of  impairment  loss,  if  any.  Where  the  asset  does  not 
generate  cash  flows  that  are  independent  from  other  assets, 
the  Company  estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash 
generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future 
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax 
discount  rate  that  reflects  current  market  assessments  of  the 
time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which 
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. An

loss  as  and  when  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset  exceeds  its 
recoverable amount.

   Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying 
value  of  the  asset  (or  cash  generating  unit)  is  increased  to 
the  revised  estimate  of  its  recoverable  amount  so  that  the 
increased  carrying  value  does  not  exceed  the  carrying  value 
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  in  the 
statement of profit and loss immediately.

(k)  Leases

   Ind  AS  116  “Leases”  replaces  Ind  AS  17  “Leases”  with  effect 
from April 1, 2019.

 The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the Company 
recognising  a  right-of-use  asset  and  related  lease  liability  in 
connection  with  all  former  operating  leases  except  for  those 
identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less 
than 12 months from the date of initial application.

 The  new  Standard  has  been  applied  using  the  modified

lease  payments  relating  to  those  leases.  Prior  periods  have 
not been restated.

the 

 For  contracts  in  place  at  the  date  of  initial  application,  the 
Company  has  elected  not  to  carry  forward  the  definition  of 
leases as per Ind AS 17 and has therefore, applied the definition 
of a lease as per Ind AS 116 to all such arrangements.

 On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating 
leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and 
for  leases  of  low-value  assets  the  Company  has  applied  the 
optional  exemptions  to  not  recognise  right-of-use  assets  but 
to account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over 
the remaining lease term.

 For  those  leases  previously  classified  as  finance  leases,  the 
right-of-use asset and lease liability are measured at the date 
of initial application at the same amounts as under Ind AS 17 
‘Leases’ immediately before the date of initial application.

 Refer note 2(k) - Significant accounting policies – Leases in the 
Annual  report  of  the  Company  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2019, page 219 for the policy as per Ind AS 17 “Leases”.

232

  The Company accounts for each lease component within the 
contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of 
the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to 
each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone 
price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone 
price of the non-lease components. The Company recognises 
right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying 
asset  for  the  lease  term  at  the  lease  commencement  date. 
The  cost  of  the  right-of-use  asset  measured  at  inception 
comprises  of  the  amount  of  initial  measurement  of  the  lease 
liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date.

 Certain  lease  arrangements  include  options  to  extend  or 
terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. The right-
of-use assets and lease liabilities include these options when it 
is reasonably certain that such options would be exercised.

 The  right-of-use  assets  is  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less 
any  accumulated  depreciation,  accumulated 
impairment 
losses,  if  any  and  adjusted  for  any  remeasurement  of  the 
lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the 
straight-line  method  from  the  commencement  date  over  the 
shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.

impairment  whenever 
 Right-of-use  assets  are  tested  for 
there  is  any  indication  that  their  carrying  amounts  may  not 
be  recoverable.  Impairment  loss,  if  any,  is  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit and loss.

 Lease  liability  is  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  lease 
payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the 
lease.  The  lease  payments  are  discounted  using  the  interest 
rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. 
If  that  rate  cannot  be  readily  determined,  the  Company  uses 
incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently 
remeasured  by  increasing  the  carrying  amount  to  reflect 
interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to 
reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying 
amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications. The 
Company  recognises  the  amount  of  the  remeasurement  of 
lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where 
the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero 
and  there  is  a  further  reduction  in  the  measurement  of  the 
lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount 
of the remeasurement in statement of profit and loss.

 Variable  lease  payments  not  included  in  the  measurement 
of the lease liabilities are expensed to the statement of profit 
and loss in the period in which the events or conditions which 
trigger those payments occur.

  The  Company  accounts  for  sale  and  lease  back  transaction, 
recognising  right-of-use  assets  and  lease  liability,  measured 
in the same way as other right-of-use assets and lease liability. 
Gain or loss on the sale transaction is recognised in statement 
of profit and loss.

 Operating  lease  –  Rental  income  from  operating  leases 
is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  on  a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of  the  relevant  lease  unless 
another  systematic  basis  is  more  representative  of  the  time 
pattern  in  which  economic  benefits  from  the  leased  asset  is 
diminished.  Initial  direct  costs  incurred  in  negotiating  and 
arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying value 
of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term.

  Finance  lease  –When  assets  are  leased  out  under  a  finance 
lease,  the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments  is 
recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross 
receivable and the present value of receivable is recognised as 
unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the 
term of the lease using the net investment method before tax, 
which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

(l) 

Stripping costs

 The Company separates two different types of stripping costs 
that are incurred in surface mining activity:

•  developmental stripping costs and 

•  production stripping costs

 Developmental  stripping  costs  which  are  incurred  in  order 
to obtain access to quantities of mineral reserves that will be 
mined in future periods are capitalised as part of mining assets. 
Capitalisation of developmental stripping costs ends when the 
commercial production of the mineral reserves begins.

 A  mine  can  operate  several  open  pits  that  are  regarded  as 
separate  operations  for  the  purpose  of  mine  planning  and 
production.  In  this  case,  stripping  costs  are  accounted  for 
separately,  by  reference  to  the  ore  extracted  from  each 
separate pit. If, however, the pits are highly integrated for the 
purpose of mine planning and production, stripping costs are 
aggregated too.

 The  determination  of  whether  multiple  pit  mines  are 
considered separate or integrated operations depends on each 
mine’s  specific  circumstances.  The  following  factors  normally 
point towards the stripping costs for the individual pits being 
accounted for separately:

•  mining  of  the  second  and  subsequent  pits  is  conducted 
rather 
that  of 

the  first  pit, 

consecutively  with 
than concurrently

• 

• 

separate 
investment  decisions  are  made  to  develop 
each  pit,  rather  than  a  single  investment  decision  being 
made at the outset

the  pits  are  operated  as  separate  units  in  terms  of  mine 
planning  and  the  sequencing  of  overburden  and  ore 
mining, rather than as an integrated unit

•  expenditures  for  additional  infrastructure  to  support  the 

second and subsequent pits are relatively large

• 

the pits extract ore from separate and distinct ore bodies, 
rather than from a single ore body.

 The  relative  importance  of  each  factor  is  considered  by  the 
management to determine whether, the stripping costs should 
be attributed to the individual pit or to the combined output 
from the several pits.

 Production stripping costs are incurred to extract the ore in the 
form of inventories and/or to improve access to an additional 
component  of  an  ore  body  or  deeper  levels  of  material. 
Production  stripping  costs  are  accounted  for  as  inventories 
to the extent the benefit from production stripping activity is 
realised in the form of inventories.

 The  Company  recognises  a  stripping  activity  asset  in  the 
production phase if, and only if, all of the following are met:

• 

• 

• 

it is probable that the future economic benefit (improved 
access  to  the  ore  body)  associated  with  the  stripping 
activity will flow to the Company

the Company can identify the component of the ore body 
for which access has been improved and

the  costs  relating  to  the 
component can be measured reliably.

improved  access  to  that 

 Such  costs  are  presented  within  mining  assets.  After  initial 
recognition,  stripping  activity  assets  are  carried  at  cost/
deemed cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. 
The expected useful life of the identified component of the ore 
body is used to depreciate or amortise the stripping asset.

 Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint 
ventures

  Investments  in  subsidiaries,  associates  and  joint  ventures  are 
carried  at  cost/deemed  cost  applied  on  transition  to  Ind  AS, 
less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication 
of  impairment  exists,  the  carrying  amount  of  investment 
is  assessed  and  an  impairment  provision  is  recognised,  if 
required  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount.  On  disposal 
of  such  investments,  difference  between  the  net  disposal 
proceeds and carrying amount is recognised in the statement 
of profit and loss.

(n)  Financial instruments

 Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when 
the  Company  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions 
of  the  instrument.  Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  initially 
measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction  costs  that  are  directly 
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and 
financial  liabilities  (other  than  financial  assets  and  financial 
liabilities at fair value through profit and loss) are added to or 
deducted  from  the  fair  value  measured  on  initial  recognition 
of  financial  asset  or  financial  liability.  The  transaction  costs 
directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  financial  assets  and 
financial  liabilities  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  are 
immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Effective interest method

 The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating  the 
amortised  cost  of  a  financial  instrument  and  of  allocating 
interest  income  or  expense  over  the  relevant  period.  The 
effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future 
cash  receipts  or  payments  through  the  expected  life  of  the 
financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

Financial assets

Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances consist of:

 (i)  

 Cash and cash equivalents - which includes cash 
on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other 
short-term  deposits  which  are  readily  convertible 
into  known  amounts  of  cash,  are  subject  to  an 
insignificant risk of change in value and have original 
maturities of less than one year. These balances with 
banks are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these 
financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is 
to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the 
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to 
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets measured at fair value

Financial  assets  are  measured  at 
fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive  income  if  such  financial  assets  are  held  within  a 
business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to 
collect contractual cash flows or to sell such financial assets and the 
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to 
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the 
principal amount outstanding.

The  Company  in  respect  of  equity  investments  (other  than  in 
subsidiaries,  associates  and  joint  ventures)  which  are  not  held 
for  trading  has  made  an  irrevocable  election  to  present  in  other 
comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of such 
equity instruments. Such an election is made by the Company on an 
instrument by instrument basis at the time of initial recognition of 
such equity investments. These investments are held for medium or 
long-term strategic purpose. The Company has chosen to designate 
these investments in equity instruments as fair value through other 
comprehensive  income  as  the  management  believes  this  provides 
a more meaningful presentation for medium or long-term strategic 
investments, than reflecting changes in fair value immediately in the 
statement of profit and loss.

Financial  assets  not  measured  at  amortised  cost  or  at  fair  value 
through  other  comprehensive  income  are  carried  at  fair  value 
through profit and loss.

Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time proportion basis, by reference 
to the principal outstanding and effective interest rate applicable.

Dividend income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the right to 
receive payment has been established.

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

Impairment of financial assets

Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial 
assets  measured  at  amortised  cost  and  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income.

The Company recognises life time expected credit losses for all trade 
receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For  financial  assets  (apart  from  trade  receivables  that  do  not 
constitute  of  financing  transaction)  whose  credit  risk  has  not 
significantly  increased  since  initial  recognition,  loss  allowance 
equal  to  twelve  months  expected  credit  losses  is  recognised.  Loss 
allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognised 
if the credit risk of the financial asset has significantly increased since 
initial recognition.

De-recognition of financial assets

The  Company  de-recognises  a  financial  asset  only  when  the 
contractual  rights  to  the  cash  flows  from  the  asset  expire,  or  it 
transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards of 
ownership of the asset to another entity.

If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred 
asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the assets and 
an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.

If  the  Company  retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to 
recognise the financial asset and also recognises a borrowing for the 
proceeds received.

(II)   Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial  liabilities  and  equity  instruments  issued  by  the  Company 
are  classified  according  to  the  substance  of  the  contractual 
arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability 
and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An  equity  instrument  is  any  contract  that  evidences  a  residual 
interest  in  the  assets  of  the  Company  after  deducting  all  of  its 
liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, 
net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

 Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of 
transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, 

using  the  effective  interest  rate  method  where  the  time  value  of 
money is significant.

Interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued debt are initially 
measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Any  difference 
between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement 
or  redemption  of  borrowings  is  recognised  over  the  term  of  the 
borrowings in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Company de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, 
the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

 In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Company  uses  certain 
derivative financial instruments to reduce business risks which arise 
from its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations. 
The instruments are confined principally to forward foreign exchange 
contracts, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and collars. The 
instruments are employed as hedges of transactions included in the 
financial  statements  or  for  highly  probable  forecast  transactions/
firm  contractual  commitments.  These  derivatives  contracts  do  not 
generally  extend  beyond  six  months,  except  for  certain  currency 
swaps and interest rate derivatives.

Derivatives are initially accounted for and measured at fair value on 
the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.

 The  Company  adopts  hedge  accounting  for  forward  foreign 
exchange and interest rate contracts wherever possible. At inception 
of  each  hedge,  there  is  a  formal,  documented  designation  of  the 
hedging relationship. This documentation includes, inter alia, items 
such as identification of the hedged item and transaction and nature 
of  the  risk  being  hedged.  At  inception,  each  hedge  is  expected  to 
be  highly  effective  in  achieving  an  offset  of  changes  in  fair  value 
or  cash  flows  attributable  to  the  hedged  risk.  The  effectiveness  of 
hedge instruments to reduce the risk associated with the exposure 
being  hedged  is  assessed  and  measured  at  the  inception  and  on 
an  ongoing  basis.  The  ineffective  portion  of  designated  hedges  is 
recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

When hedge accounting is applied:

• 

 for fair value hedges of recognised assets and liabilities, changes 
in  fair  value  of  the  hedged  assets  and  liabilities  attributable  to 
the risk being hedged, are recognised in the statement of profit 
and loss and compensate for the effective portion of symmetrical 
changes in the fair value of the derivatives.

235

NOTESforming part of the financial statementsCorporate Overview    02Strategic Review    46Performance Review    20Statutory Reports    84Our Strategy    28Financial Statements    2062.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

• 

for  cash  flow  hedges,  the  effective  portion  of  the  change  in 
the  fair  value  of  the  derivative  is  recognised  directly  in  other 
comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognised 
in the statement of profit and loss. If the cash flow hedge of a firm 
commitment or forecasted transaction results in the recognition 
of  a  non-financial  asset  or  liability,  then,  at  the  time  the  asset 
or  liability  is  recognised,  the  associated  gains  or  losses  on  the 
derivative  that  had  previously  been  recognised  in  equity  are 
included in the initial measurement of the asset or liability. For 
hedges  that  do  not  result  in  the  recognition  of  a  non-financial 
asset or a liability, amounts deferred in equity are recognised in 
the statement of profit and loss in the same period in which the 
hedged item affects the statement of profit and loss.

  In cases where hedge accounting is not applied, changes in the fair 
value of derivatives are recognised in the statement of profit and loss 
as and when they arise.

  Hedge  accounting  is  discontinued  when  the  hedging  instrument 
expires  or  is  sold,  terminated,  or  exercised,  or  no  longer  qualifies 
for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on 
the  hedging  instrument  recognised  in  equity  is  retained  in  equity 
until  the  forecasted  transaction  occurs.  If  a  hedged  transaction 
is  no  longer  expected  to  occur,  the  net  cumulative  gain  or  loss 
recognised in equity is transferred to the statement of profit and loss 
for the period.

(o)  Employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

 Contributions under defined contribution plans are recognised 
as expense for the period in which the employee has rendered 
the  service.  Payments  made  to  state  managed  retirement 
benefit  schemes  are  dealt  with  as  payments  to  defined 
contribution  schemes  where  the  Company’s  obligations 
under the schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined 
contribution retirement benefit scheme.

Defined benefit plans

 For defined benefit retirement schemes, the cost of providing 
benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, 
with  actuarial  valuation  being  carried  out  at  each  year-end 
balance sheet date. Remeasurement gains and losses of the net 
defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognised immediately in 
other comprehensive income. The service cost and net interest 
on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognised as an 
expense within employee costs.

 Past  service  cost  is  recognised  as  an  expense  when  the  plan 
amendment  or  curtailment  occurs  or  when  any  related 
restructuring  costs  or  termination  benefits  are  recognised, 
whichever is earlier.

 The  retirement  benefit  obligations  recognised  in  the  balance 
sheet  represents  the  present  value  of  the  defined  benefit 
obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.

Compensated absences

 Compensated  absences  which  are  not  expected  to  occur 
within twelve months after the end of the period in which the 
employee renders the related service are recognised based on 
actuarial valuation at the present value of the obligation as on 
the reporting date.

(p) 

Inventories

 Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable 
value. Cost is ascertained on a weighted average basis. Costs 
comprise direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour 
costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing 
the  inventories  to  their  present  location  and  condition.  Net 
realisable  value  is  the  price  at  which  the  inventories  can  be 
realised  in  the  normal  course  of  business  after  allowing  for 
the  cost  of  conversion  from  their  existing  state  to  a  finished 
condition and for the cost of marketing, selling and distribution.

 Provisions  are  made  to  cover  slow-moving  and  obsolete 
items  based  on  historical  experience  of  utilisation  on  a 
product  category  basis,  which  involves  individual  businesses 
considering their product lines and market conditions.

(q)  Provisions

 Provisions  are  recognised  in  the  balance  sheet  when  the 
Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a 
result of a past event, which is expected to result in an outflow 
of  resources  embodying  economic  benefits  which  can  be 
reliably estimated. Each provision is based on the best estimate 
of  the  expenditure  required  to  settle  the  present  obligation 
at  the  balance  sheet  date.  Where  the  time  value  of  money  is 
material, provisions are measured on a discounted basis.

 Constructive  obligation  is  an  obligation  that  derives  from  an 
entity’s actions where:

(i) 

 by  an  established  pattern  of  past  practice,  published 
policies  or  a  sufficiently  specific  current  statement,  the 
entity  has  indicated  to  other  parties  that  it  will  accept 
certain responsibilities and;

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

(ii) 

 as a result, the entity has created a valid expectation on 
the part of those other parties that it will discharge such 
responsibilities.

(r)  Onerous contracts

 A  provision  for  onerous  contracts  is  recognised  when  the 
expected  benefits  to  be  derived  by  the  Company  from  a 
contract  are  lower  than  the  unavoidable  cost  of  meeting  its 
obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the 
present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating 
the  contract  and  the  expected  net  cost  of  continuing  with 
the  contract.  Before  a  provision  is  established,  the  Company 
recognises  any  impairment  loss  on  the  assets  associated 
with that contract.

(s)  Government grants

  Government  grants  are  recognised  at  its  fair  value,  where 
there  is  a  reasonable  assurance  that  such  grants  will  be 
received  and  compliance  with  the  conditions  attached 
therewith have been met.

 Government  grants  related  to  expenditure  on  property, 
plant  and  equipment  are  credited  to  the  statement  of  profit 
and  loss  over  the  useful  lives  of  qualifying  assets  or  other 
systematic  basis  representative  of  the  pattern  of  fulfilment 
of  obligations  associated  with  the  grant  received.  Grants 
received less amounts credited to the statement of profit and 
loss at the reporting date are included in the balance sheet as 
deferred income.

(t) 

 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued 
operations

  Non-current  assets  and  disposal  groups  classified  as  held  for 
sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value and fair 
value less costs to sell.

 Assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their 
carrying  value  will  be  recovered  through  a  sale  transaction 
rather than through continuing use. This condition is only met 
when  the  sale  is  highly  probable  and  the  asset,  or  disposal 
group, is available for immediate sale in its present condition 
and  is  marketed  for  sale  at  a  price  that  is  reasonable  in 
relation  to  its  current  fair  value.  The  Company  must  also  be 
committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for 
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date 
of classification.

 Where  a  disposal  group  represents  a  separate  major  line  of 
business  or  geographical  area  of  operations,  or  is  part  of  a 

single  co-ordinated  plan  to  dispose  of  a  separate  major  line 
of  business  or  geographical  area  of  operations,  then  it  is 
treated as a discontinued operation. The post-tax profit or loss 
of  the  discontinued  operation  together  with  the  gain  or  loss 
recognised on its disposal are disclosed as a single amount in 
the  statement  of  profit  and  loss,  with  all  prior  periods  being 
presented on this basis.

(u) 

Income taxes

   Tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 
The  tax  currently  payable  is  based  on  taxable  profit  for  the 
year.  Taxable  profit  differs  from  net  profit  as  reported  in  the 
statement of profit and loss because it excludes items of income 
or  expense  that  are  taxable  or  deductible  in  other  years  and 
it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. 
The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax 
rates  and  tax  laws  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantively 
enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on 
differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities 
in  the  financial  statements  and  the  corresponding  tax  bases 
used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for 
using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities 
are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. 
In contrast, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent 
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available 
against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

 The carrying value 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to 
apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is 
realised  based  on  the  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  that  have  been 
enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting 
period. 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  the 
reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying value of its 
assets and liabilities.

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset to the extent that 
they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority and there 
are legally enforceable rights to set off current tax assets and 
current tax liabilities within that jurisdiction.

 Current  and  deferred  tax  are  recognised  as  an  expense  or 
income  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss,  except  when 
they  relate  to  items  credited  or  debited  either  in  other

comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity,  in  which  case 
the  tax  is  also  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  or 
directly in equity.

 Deferred  tax  assets  include  Minimum  Alternate  Tax  (MAT) 
paid  in  accordance  with  the  tax  laws  in  India,  which  is  likely 
to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of 
set off against future income tax liability. MAT is recognised as 
deferred tax assets in the balance sheet when the asset can be 
measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic 
benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

(v)  Revenue

  The  Company  manufactures  and  sells  a  range  of  steel  and 
other products. 

Sale of products

 Revenue from sale of products is recognised when control of 
the  products  has  transferred,  being  when  the  products  are 
delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products 
have been shipped or delivered to the specific location as the 
case may be, the risks of loss has been transferred, and either 
the  customer  has  accepted  the  products  in  accordance  with 
the sales contract, or the Company has objective evidence that 
all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Sale of products 
include related ancillary services, if any.

 Goods  are  often  sold  with  volume  discounts  based  on 
aggregate  sales  over  a  12  months  period.  Revenue  from 
these  sales  is  recognised  based  on  the  price  specified  in  the 
contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated 
experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, 
using the most likely method, and revenue is only recognised 
to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal 
will  not  occur.  A  liability  is  recognised  for  expected  volume 
discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until 
the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  No  element  of  financing  is 
deemed present as the sales are generally made with a credit 
term  of  30-90  days,  which  is  consistent  with  market  practice. 
Any obligation to provide a refund is recognised as a provision. 
A  receivable  is  recognised  when  the  goods  are  delivered  as 
this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional 
because  only  the  passage  of  time  is  required  before  the 
payment is due.

 The  Company  does  not  have  any  contracts  where  the  period 
between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the 

customer  and  payment  by  the  customer  exceeds  one  year. 
As  a  consequence,  the  Company  does  not  adjust  any  of  the 
transaction prices for the time value of money.

Sale of power

 Revenue  from  sale  of  power  is  recognised  when  the  services 
are  provided  to  the  customer  based  on  approved  tariff  rates 
established  by  the  respective  regulatory  authorities.  The 
Company  doesn’t  recognise  revenue  and  an  asset  for  cost 
incurred in the past that will be recovered.

(w)  Foreign currency transactions and translations

 The financial statements of the Company are presented in Indian 
Rupees (“₹”), which is the functional currency of the Company 
and the presentation currency for the financial statements.

transactions 

 In  preparing 
in 
the  financial  statements, 
currencies  other  than  the  Company’s  functional  currency  are 
recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the 
transaction.  At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  monetary 
items  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  re-translated  at 
the  rates  prevailing  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  Non-
monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in 
foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on 
the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary 
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign 
currency are not translated.

 Exchange  differences  arising  on  translation  of  long-term 
foreign  currency  monetary  items  recognised  in  the  financial 
statements  before  the  beginning  of  the  first  Ind  AS  financial 
reporting period in respect of which the Company has elected 
to recognise such exchange differences in equity or as part of 
cost of assets as allowed under Ind AS 101 “First-time adoption 
of  Indian  Accounting  Standards”  are  added/deducted  to/ 
from  the  cost  of  assets  as  the  case  may  be.  Such  exchange 
differences recognised as part of cost of assets is recognised in 
the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis.

 Exchange differences arising on the re-translation or settlement 
of other monetary items are included in the statement of profit 
and loss for the period.

(x)  Borrowing costs

 Borrowings  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition, 
construction  or  production  of  qualifying  assets,  which  are 
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get 
ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of 
those  assets,  until  such  time  as  the  assets  are  substantially 
ready for the intended use or sale.

 The  Company  has  applied  the  amendments  prospectively 
for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  April  1, 
2019. There is no material impact on the Company due to the 
application of the above amendment.

Amendment to Ind AS 23 “Borrowing Costs” 

  The amendment clarifies that if any specific borrowing remains 
outstanding  after  the  related  asset  is  ready  for  its  intended 
use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an 
entity  borrows  generally  when  calculating  the  capitalisation 
rate on general borrowings.

for  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  April  1, 
2019 There is no material impact on the Company due to the 
application of the above amendment.

 There  is  no  new  standard  or  amendment  to  the  existing 
standards which would have been applicable from April 1, 2020.

 Investment 
specific  borrowings  pending  their  expenditure  on  qualifying 
assets is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

 Discounts  or  premiums  and  expenses  on  the  issue  of  debt 
securities are amortised over the term of the related securities 
and  included  within  borrowing  costs.  Premiums  payable  on 
early  redemptions  of  debt  securities,  in  lieu  of  future  finance 
costs, are recognised as borrowing costs.

 All  other  borrowing  costs  are  recognised  as  expenses  in  the 
period in which it is incurred.

(y)  Earnings per share

  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit or loss 
for  the  year  attributable  to  equity  holders  by  the  weighted 
average number of shares outstanding during the year. Partly 
paid up shares are included as fully paid equivalents according 
to the fraction paid up.

 Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  computed  using  the  weighted 
average number of shares and dilutive potential shares except 
where the result would be anti-dilutive.

(z)  Recent accounting pronouncements

 Amendment to Ind AS 12 “Income Tax” - Insertion of 
Appendix C, “Uncertainty over Income tax treatments”

   The amendment intends to bring clarity to the accounting for 
uncertainties  on  income  tax  treatments  that  have  yet  to  be 
accepted by tax authorities, and to reflect it in the measurement 
of current and deferred taxes.

(i) 

 During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020,  other  re-classifications  primarily  include  assets  under  finance  leases  of  ₹2,151.32  crore  (net  of 
accumulated depreciation and impairment), reclassified to right-of-use assets on adoption of Ind AS 116 “Leases”.

  `103.58  crore  (2018-19:  ₹88.68  crore)  of  borrowing  costs  has  been  capitalised  during  the  year  against  qualifying  assets  under 
construction using a capitalisation rate of 6.84% (2018-19: 9.00%).

(vi)  

 Rupee liability has increased by ₹128.72 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹106.56 crore) arising out of re-translation of the value of long-term 
foreign currency loans and liabilities for procurement of property, plant and equipment, generally plant and machinery. This increase 
is adjusted against the carrying cost of assets and depreciated over their remaining useful life. The depreciation for the current year is 
higher by ₹4.31 crore (2018-19: ₹3.50 crore) on account of this adjustment.

(vii)    Property,  plant  and  equipment  (including  capital  work-in-progress)  were  tested  for  impairment  during  the  year  where  indicators  of 
impairment existed. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company has recognised an impairment reversal of ₹45.97 crore (net of 
charge) (2018-19: ₹8.54 crore, impairment charge) in respect of expenditure incurred (included within capital work-in-progress) at one of 
its mining sites. The impairment recognised/reversed is included within other expenses in the statement of profit and loss.

4.  Leases
 The Company’s significant leasing arrangements include assets dedicated for use under long-term arrangements, lease of land, office space, 
equipment, vehicles and some IT equipment.

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Each lease generally imposes a 
restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Company to sublet the asset to another party, the right-of-use asset can only be used 
by the Company. Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases. These are used to maximise 
operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company’s operations. Majority of the extension and termination options 
held are exercisable based on mutual agreement of the Company and the respective lessor.

 With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a rightof- use 
asset and a lease liability. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Variable lease payments which do not depend on an index or a rate (such as lease payments based on a percentage of sales) are excluded from 
the initial measurement of the lease liability and asset.

For leases recognised under long-term arrangements involving use of a dedicated asset, non-lease components are excluded based on the 
underlying  contractual  terms  and  conditions.  A  change  in  the  allocation  assumptions  may  have  an  impact  on  the  measurement  of  lease 
liabilities and the related right-of-use assets.

4.  Leases (Contd.)

 On adoption of Ind AS 116 “Leases” with effect from April 1, 2019, the Company elected to apply the modified retrospective transition method.

Accordingly, on transition, right-of-use assets of ₹1,200.13 crore were measured at an amount equal to lease liabilities. In addition, an amount 
of ₹832.92 (net of accumulated amortisation) crore in respect of right-of-use of land was re-classified from other assets to right-of-use assets.
The right-of-use assets was reduced by ₹8.95 crore on account of sub-leases recognised on transition.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised on transition to Ind AS 116 “Leases” was 8.98%

The reconciliation of total operating lease commitments as at March 31, 2019 to the lease liabilities recognised on transition is as below:

(c) 
(d) 

income in respect of sub-leases of right-of-use assets ₹0.71 crore.

(iii) 

  The  Hon’ble  National  Company  Law  Tribunal  (NCLT),  Kolkata  vide  order  dated  April  5,  2019  has  admitted  the  initiation  of  Corporate 
Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) in respect of Tayo Rolls Limited, a subsidiary of the Company.

(iv)  

 During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company considered indicators of impairment for investments in steel, mining and other 
business operations held either directly or indirectly, such as declines in operational performance or changes in the outlook of future 
profitability or weaker market conditions, among other potential indicators.

 In respect of the overseas investments in T Steel Holdings Pte. Ltd. and NatSteel Asia Pte. Ltd. where indicators of impairment were 
identified, the Company estimated the recoverable amount based on the value in use of the underlying businesses. The computation uses 
cash flow forecasts based on the most recently approved financial budgets and strategic forecasts which cover a period of three years 
and future projections taking the analysis out into perpetuity. Key assumptions for the value in use computations are those regarding 
the discount rates, growth rates, exchange rates, market demand, expected changes to selling prices, raw material and other direct 
costs. Changes in selling prices, raw material costs, exchange rates and demand are based on historical experience and expectations 
of future changes in the market. Beyond the specifically forecasted period, a growth rate of 1.25% is used to extrapolate the cash flow 
projections. This rate does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant markets.

 The Company estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect the current market rates for investments of similar risk. The rate for 
these investments were estimated from the weighted average cost of capital of participants, which operate a portfolio of assets similar to 
those of the Company’s assets. The weighted average pre-tax discount rates used for discounting the cash flows projections was 8.00%.

 The outcome of the test as on March 31, 2020 resulted in the Company recognizing an impairment loss of ₹860.00 crore with respect to 
investment in T Steel Holdings Pte. Ltd. and ₹126.00 crore with respect to investment in NatSteel Asia Pte. Ltd.

 The operational and financial performance of Tata Steel Europe Limited (TSE), a wholly owned subsidiary of T Steel Holdings Pte. Ltd. 
is forecasted to  be adversely impacted  due  to  the downturn in steel demand on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, consequently, 
impacting  the  ability  to  meet  its  liquidity  requirements.  TSE  as  a  whole,  including  its  operations  in  the  United  Kingdom,  continues 
to implement various measures aimed at conserving cash including but not limited to deferral of capital expenditures, reduction in 
administrative expenses, use of non-recourse securitisation programmes, seeking Government backed funding etc. The severity and 
length of the downturn in steel demand on account of the pandemic remains unpredictable and the ability of TSE to continue as a going 
concern is dependent on the outcome of the above measures taken.

A. 

Income tax expense/(benefit)

The Company is subject to income tax in India on the basis of its standalone financial statements. The Company can claim tax exemptions/
deductions under specific sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961 subject to fulfilment of prescribed conditions, as may be applicable. As per the 
Income Tax Act, 1961, the Company is liable to pay income tax based on higher of regular income tax payable or the amount payable based 
on the provisions applicable for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). MAT paid in excess of regular income tax during a year can be carried forward 
for a period of fifteen years and can be offset against future tax liabilities arising from regular income tax.

Section 115BAA has newly been inserted in the Income Tax Act, 1961 vide Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 (subsequently enacted 
on December 11, 2019 as The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019) which provides a domestic company with an irrevocable option to pay 
tax at a lower rate of 22% (effective rate of 25.168%) for any previous year relevant to the assessment year beginning on or after April 1, 2020. 
The lower rate shall be applicable subject to certain conditions, including that the total income should be computed without claiming specific 
deduction or exemptions. MAT would be inapplicable to companies opting to apply the lower tax rate. 

Business loss can be carried forward for a maximum period of eight assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment year to which

A.  Defined contribution plans

 The  major  defined  contribution  plans  operated  by 
Company are as below:

the 

The Company participates in a number of defined contribution plans 
on behalf of relevant personnel. Any expense recognised in relation 
to  these  schemes  represents  the  value  of  contributions  payable 
during  the  period  by  the  Company  at  rates  specified  by  the  rules 
of those plans. The only amounts included in the balance sheet are 
those relating to the prior months contributions that were not due to 
be paid until after the end of the reporting period.

(a)  Provident fund and pension

 The  Company  provides  provident  fund  benefits  for  eligible 
employees  as  per  applicable  regulations  wherein  both 
employees  and  the  Company  make  monthly  contributions 
at  a  specified  percentage  of  the  eligible  employee’s  salary. 
Contributions  under  such  schemes  are  made  either  to  a 
provident fund set up as an irrevocable trust by the Company

to  manage  the  investments  and  distribute  the  amounts 
entitled to employees or to state managed funds.

 Benefits provided under plans wherein contributions are made 
to  state  managed  funds  and  the  Company  does  not  have  a 
future obligation to make good short fall, if any, are treated as 
a defined contribution plan.

(b)  Superannuation fund

 The  Company  has  a  superannuation  plan  for  the  benefit 
its  employees.  Employees  who  are  members  of  the 
of 
superannuation plan are entitled to benefits depending on the 
years of service and salary drawn.

 Separate  irrevocable  trusts  are  maintained  for  employees 
covered and entitled to benefits. The Company contributes up 
to 15% of the eligible employees’ salary or ₹1,50,000, whichever 
is  lower,  to  the  trust  every  year.  Such  contributions  are 
recognised as an expense as and when incurred. The Company 
does not have any further obligation beyond this contribution.

 The contributions recognised as an expense in the statement 
of  profit  and  loss  during  the  year  on  account  of  the  above 
defined contribution plans amounted to ₹178.78 crore (2018-
19: ₹191.18 crore).

B.  Defined benefit plans

 The  defined  benefit  plans  operated  by  the  Company  are  
as below:

(a)  Provident fund and pension

 Provident  fund  benefits  provided  under  plans  wherein 
contributions  are  made  to  an  irrevocable  trust  set  up  by  the 
Company  to  manage  the  investments  and  distribute  the 
amounts entitled to employees are treated as a defined benefit 
plan  as  the  Company  is  obligated  to  provide  the  members 
a  rate  of  return  which  should,  at  the  minimum,  meet  the 
interest rate declared by Government administered provident 
fund.  A  part  of  the  Company’s  contribution  is  transferred  to 
Government  administered  pension  fund.  The  contributions 
made by the Company and the shortfall of interest, if any, are 
recognised  as  an  expense  in  profit  and  loss  under  employee 
benefits expense.

 In  accordance  with  an  actuarial  valuation  of  provident  fund 
liabilities  based  on  guidance  issued  by  Actuarial  Society  of 
India  and  based  on  the  assumptions  as  mentioned  below, 
there  is  no  deficiency  in  the  interest  cost  as  the  present 
value  of  the  expected  future  earnings  of  the  fund  is  greater 

than  the  expected  amount  to  be  credited  to  the  individual 
members based on the expected guaranteed rate of interest of 
Government administered provident fund.

Key assumptions used for actuarial valuation are as below:

(b)  Retiring gratuity

 The  Company  has  an  obligation  towards  gratuity,  a  defined 
benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan 
provides  for  a  lump-sum  payment  to  vested  employees  at 
retirement,  death  while  in  employment  or  on  termination  of 
employment of an amount equivalent to 15 to 30 days salary 
payable  for  each  completed  year  of  service.  Vesting  occurs 
upon completion of five years of service. The Company makes 
annual contributions to gratuity funds established as trusts or 
insurance  companies.  The  Company  accounts  for  the  liability 
for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on a year-end 
actuarial valuation.

(c)   Post-retirement medical benefits

 Under  this  unfunded  scheme,  employees  of  the  Company 
receive medical benefits subject to certain limits on amounts 
of  benefits,  periods  after  retirement  and  types  of  benefits, 
depending  on  their  grade  and  location  at  the  time  of 
retirement.  Employees  separated  from  the  Company  under 
an  early  separation  scheme,  on  medical  grounds  or  due  to 
permanent  disablement  are  also  covered  under  the  scheme. 
The  Company  accounts  for  the  liability  for  post-retirement 
medical scheme based on a year-end actuarial valuation.

(d)   Other defined benefits

 Other  benefits  provided  under  unfunded  schemes  include 
post-retirement 
lumpsum  benefits,  pension  payable  to 
directors of the Company on their retirement, farewell gifts and 
reimbursement of packing and transportation charges to the 
employees based on their last drawn salary.

 The defined benefit plans expose the Company to a number of 
actuarial risks as below:

(i)  

 Investment  risk:  The  present  value  of  the  defined 
benefit  plan  liability  is  calculated  using  a  discount  rate 
determined  by  reference  to  government  bond  yields.  If 
the  return  on  plan  asset  is  below  this  rate,  it  will  create 
a plan deficit.

36.  Employee benefits (Contd.)

(ii) 

(iii) 

 Interest  risk:  A  decrease  in  the  bond  interest  rate 
will  increase  the  plan  liability.  However,  this  will  be 
partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  the  value  of  plan’s 
debt investments

 Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan 
liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of 
plan  participants.  As  such,  an  increase  in  salary  of  the 
plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

C. 

 Details of defined benefit obligations and plan assets:

(a)  Retiring gratuity:

(iv) 

 Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit 
plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate 
of the mortality of plan participants both during and after 
their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of 
the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

(i)

The Company’s investment policy is driven by considerations of maximising returns while ensuring credit quality of debt instruments. The 
asset allocation for plan assets is determined based on prescribed investment criteria and is also subject to other exposure limitations. The 
Company evaluates the risks, transaction costs and liquidity for potential investments. To measure plan assets performance, the Company 
compares actual returns for each asset category with published benchmarks.

A.  Contingencies

 In the ordinary course of business, the Company faces claims 
and assertions by various parties. The Company assesses such 
claims  and  assertions  and  monitors  the  legal  environment 
on  an  on-going  basis  with  the  assistance  of  external  legal 
counsel, wherever necessary. The Company records a liability 
for any claims where a potential loss is probable and capable 
of being estimated and discloses such matters  in  its financial 
statements, if material. For potential losses that are considered 
possible,  but  not  probable,  the  Company  provides  disclosure 
in the financial statements but does not record a liability in its 
accounts unless the loss becomes probable.

 The following is a description of claims and assertions where 
a  potential  loss  is  possible,  but  not  probable.  The  Company 
believes that none of the contingencies described below would 
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company’s  financial 
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 It  is  not  practicable  for  the  Company  to  estimate  the  timings 
of  the  cash  outflows,  if  any,  pending  resolution  of  the 
respective  proceedings.  The  Company  does  not  expect  any 
reimbursements in respect of the same.

Litigations

 The Company is involved in legal proceedings, both as plaintiff 
and  as  defendant.  There  are  claims  which  the  Company 
does not believe to be of a material nature, other than those 
described below:

Income tax

 The  Company  has  ongoing  disputes  with 
income  tax 
authorities  relating  to  tax  treatment  of  certain  items.  These 
mainly  include  disallowance  of  expenses,  tax  treatment  of 
certain  expenses  claimed  by  the  Company  as  deduction  and 
the  computation  of  or  eligibility  of  the  Company’s  use  of 
certain tax incentives or allowances.

(a) 

 Most of these disputes and/or disallowances, being repetitive 
in  nature,  have  been  raised  by  the  income  tax  authorities 
consistently in most of the years.

(b) 

 As  at  March  31,  2020,  there  are  matters  and/or  disputes 
pending  in  appeal  amounting  to  ₹2,260.36  crore  (March  31, 
2019: ₹3,160.64 crore).

The details of demands for more than `100 crore is as below:

(a) 

 Interest  expenditure  on  loans  taken  by  the  Company 
for  acquisition  of  a  subsidiary  has  been  disallowed  in 

assessments with tax demand raised for ₹1,551.10 crore 
(inclusive of interest) (March 31, 2019: ₹1,791.29 crore).

(b) 

 Interest  expenditure  on  “Hybrid  Perpetual  Securities” 
has  been  disallowed  in  assessments  with  tax  demand 
raised for ₹170.54 crore (inclusive of interest) (March 31, 
2019: ₹459.13 crore)

 In respect of above demands, the Company has deposited an 
amount  of  ₹1,165.00  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹1,065.00  crore) 
as a precondition for obtaining stay. The Company expects to 
sustain its position on ultimate resolution of the said appeals.

Customs, excise duty and service tax

 As  at  March  31,  2020,  there  were  pending  litigations  for 
various  matters  relating  to  customs,  excise  duty  and  service 
taxes  involving  demands  of  ₹365.43  crore  (March  31,  2019: 
₹682.53 crore).

Sales tax/VAT

 The  total  sales  tax  demands  that  are  being  contested  by 
the  Company  amounted  to  ₹563.30  crore  (March  31,  2019: 
₹717.02 crore).

The details of demands for more than `100 crore are as below:

 The  Company  stock  transfers  its  goods  manufactured  at 
its  various  depots/branches 
Jamshedpur  works  plant  to 
located  outside  the  state  of  Jharkhand  across  the  country 
and  these  goods  are  then  sold  to  various  customers  outside 
the states from depots/branches. As per the Central Sales Tax 
Act,  1956,  these  transfers  of  goods  to  depots/branches  were 
made  without  payment  of  Central  sales  tax  and  F-Form  was 
submitted in lieu of the stock-transfers made during the period 
of  assessment.  The  value  of  these  sales  was  also  disclosed  in 
the periodical returns filed as per the Jharkhand Vat Act, 2005. 
The Commercial Tax Department has raised demand of Central 
Sales  tax  by  levying  tax  on  the  differences  between  value  of 
sales  outside  the  states  and  value  of  F-Form  submitted  for 
stock  transfers.  The  amount  involved  for  various  assessment 
years  beginning  2011-2012  to  2015-2016  is  amounting  to 
₹127.00 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹127.00 crore).

  The  Commercial  Tax  Department  of  Jharkhand  has  rejected 
certain  Input  tax  credit  claimed  by  the  Company  on  goods 
purchased  from  the  suppliers  within  the  State  of  Jharkhand. 
The  Department  has  alleged  that  the  goods  have  not  been 
used in accordance with the provisions of Jharkhand VAT Act, 
2005. The potential exposure on account of disputed tax and 
interest for the period beginning 2012-2013 to 2015-2016 as on

Other taxes, dues and claims

 Other  amounts  for  which  the  Company  may  contingently 
be  liable  aggregate  to  ₹12,450.66  crore  (March  31,  2019: 
₹11,639.19 crore).

The details of demands for more than `100 crore are as below:

 Claim  by  a  party  arising  out  of  conversion  arrangement 
₹195.79  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹195.79  crore).  The  Company 
has not acknowledged this claim and has instead filed a claim 
of ₹141.23 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹141.23 crore) on the party. 
The matter is pending before the Calcutta High Court.

 The  State  Government  of  Odisha  introduced  “Orissa  Rural 
Infrastructure  and  Socio  Economic  Development  Act,  2004” 
with effect from February 2005 levying tax on mineral bearing 
land  computed  on  the  basis  of  value  of  minerals  produced 
from the mineral bearing land. The Company had filed a writ 
petition  in  the  Odisha  High  Court  challenging  the  validity  of 
the Act. The High Court held in December 2005 that the State 
does not have authority to levy tax on minerals. The State of 
Odisha filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against the order 
of the High Court and the case is pending in Supreme Court. 
The potential liability, as at March 31, 2020 is ₹8,732.29 crore 
(March 31, 2019: ₹7,573.53 crore).

(c) 

 The Company pays royalty on iron ore on the basis of quantity 
removed from the leased area at the rates based on notification 
issued  by  the  Ministry  of  Mines,  Government  of  India  and 
the  price  published  by  Indian  Bureau  of  Mines  (IBM)  on 
a monthly basis.

 Demand of ₹411.08 crore has been raised by Deputy Director of 
Mines, Joda, claiming royalty at sized ore rates on despatches 
of  ore  fines.  The  Company  has  filed  a  revision  petition  on 
November  14,  2013,  before  the  Mines  Tribunal,  Government 
of India, Ministry of Mines, New Delhi, challenging the legality 
and  validity  of  the  demand  and  to  grant  refund  of  royalty 
paid  in  excess  by  the  Company.  Mines  Tribunal  has  granted 
stay  on  the  total  demand  with  directive  to  Government  of 
Odisha  not  to  take  any  coercive  action  for  realisation  of  this 
demanded amount.

 The Hon’ble High Court of Odisha in a similar matter held the 
circulars  based  on  which  demands  were  raised  to  be  valid. 
The  Company  has  challenged  the  judgment  of  the  High 
Court by a separate petition in the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 
April 29, 2016.

(d) 

 On July 16, 2019, the Company has filed rejoinders to the reply 
filed  by  State  of  Odisha  against  the  revision  petition.  The 
State  pressed  for  rejection  of  revision  applications  citing  the 
judgment of the High Court. The Company represented before 
the  authorities  and  explained  that  the  judgment  was  passed 
under a particular set of ‘facts & circumstances’ which cannot 
have  blanket  application  on  the  Company  considering  the 
case of the Company is factually different. On August 7, 2019, 
the  Mines  Tribunal  decided  to  await  the  outcome  of  Special 
leave petition pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and 
adjourned the matter.

 Likely demand of royalty on fines at sized ore rates as on March 
31, 2020 is ₹1,965.52 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹1,630.16 crore).

  Demand notices were originally issued by the Deputy Director 
of  Mines,  Odisha  amounting  to  ₹3,827.29  crore  for  excess 
production  over  the  quantity  permitted  under  the  mining 
plan, environment clearance or consent to operate, pertaining 
to 2000-01 to 2009-10. The demand notices have been raised 
under Section 21(5) of the Mines & Minerals (Development and 
Regulations)  Act,  1957  (MMDR).  The  Company  filed  revision 
petitions  before  the  Mines  Tribunal  against  all  such  demand 
notices. Initially, a stay of demands was granted, later by order 
dated  October  12,  2017,  the  issue  has  been  remanded  to  the 
state for reconsideration of the demand in the light of Supreme 
Court judgement passed on August 2, 2017.

 The Hon’ble Supreme Court pronounced its judgement in the 
Common Cause case on August 2, 2017 wherein it directed that 
compensation equivalent to the price of mineral extracted in 
excess  of  environment  clearance  or  without  forest  clearance 
from the forest land be paid.

 In  pursuance  to  the  Judgement  of  Hon’ble  Supreme  Court, 
demand/show  cause  notices  amounting  to  ₹3,873.35  crore 
have  been  issued  during  2017-18  by  the  Deputy  Director  of 
Mines, Odisha and the District Mining Office, Jharkhand.

In respect of the above demands:

•  as  directed  by  the  Hon’ble  Supreme  Court,  the  Company 
has provided and paid for iron ore and manganese ore an 
amount of ₹614.41 crore during 2017-18 for production in 
excess  of  environment  clearance  to  the  Deputy  Director 
of Mines, Odisha.

• 

the  Company  has  provided  and  paid  under  protest  an 
amount  of  ₹56.97  crore  during  2017-18  for  production  in 
excess  of  environment  clearance  to  the  District  Mining 
Office, Jharkhand.

₹132.91 crore in 2017-18 for production in excess of lower 
of mining plan and consent to operate limits raised by the 
Deputy Director of Mines, Odisha before the Mines Tribunal 
and  obtained  a  stay  on  the  matter.  Mines  Tribunal,  Delhi 
vide  order  dated  November  26,  2018  disposed  of  all  the 
revision  applications  with  a  direction  to  remand  it  to  the 
State  Government  to  hear  all  such  cases  afresh  and  pass 
detailed  order.  Demand  amount  of  ₹132.91  crore  (March

the  Company  has  made  a  comprehensive  submission 
before  the  Deputy  Director  of  Mines,  Odisha  against 
show  cause  notices  amounting  to  ₹694.02  crore  received 
during 2017-18 for production in violation of mining plan, 
Environment  Protection  Act,  1986  and  Water  (Prevention 
&  Control  of  Pollution)  Act,  1981.  A  demand  amounting 
to  ₹234.74  crore  has  been  received  in  April  2018  from 
the  Deputy  Director  of  Mines,  Odisha  for  production  in 
excess of the Environmental Clearance. The Company has 
challenged the demand and obtained a stay on the matter 
from the Revisionary Authority, Mines Tribunal, New Delhi. 
Demand  of  ₹234.74  crore  has  been  provided  and  show 
cause  notice  of  ₹694.02  crore  had  been  considered  as 
contingent as at March 31, 2019.

During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020,  based  on  the 
evaluation  of  current

than  environment  clearance  and  the  balance  amount  of 
₹727.41  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹727.41  crore)  has  been

 An  agreement  was  executed  between  the  Government  of 
Odisha (GoO) and the Company in December, 1992 for drawal  
of  water  from  Kundra  Nalla  for  industrial  consumption.  In 
December  1993,  the  Tahsildar,  Barbil  issued  a  show-cause 
notice alleging that the Company has lifted more quantity of 

water than the sanctioned limit under the agreement and has 
also not installed the water meter.

 While  the  proceedings  in  this  regard  were  in  progress,  the 
Company  had  applied  for  allocation  of  fresh  limits.  Over  the 
years, there has also been a steep increase in the water charges 
against which the Company filed writ petitions before Hon’ble 
High Court of Odisha. 

 In  this  regard,  the  Company  has  received  demand  of  ₹156.62 
crore  considering  the  demand  for  period  beginning  from 
January,  1996  upto  February,  2020.  The  potential  exposure 
as on March 31, 2020, ₹162.96 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹125.98 
crore) is considered as contingent.

 The  writ  petition  filed  in  August,  1997  was  listed  for  hearing 
before  the  Full  Bench  of  the  Odisha  High  Court  on  May  17, 
2019.  SAIL,  one  of  the  petitioners,  sought  permission  to 
withdraw its writ petition because the settlement arrived with 
the  State  Government  in  the  matter.  The  High  court  allowed 
withdrawal of writ petition of SAIL and directed other parties 
to  negotiate  with  the  State  Government.  The  Company  has 
submitted  its  detailed  representation  to  Principal  Secretary, 
Water  Resource  Department,  GoO  on  June  21,  2019,  which  is 
under consideration.

38.  Other significant litigations
(a) 

  Odisha  Legislative  Assembly  issued  an  amendment  to  Indian 
Stamp Act, 1889, on May 09, 2013 and inserted a new provision 
(Section 3A) in respect of stamp duty payable on grant/renewal 
of mining leases. As per the amended provision, stamp duty is 
levied equal to 15% of the average royalty that would accrue 
out  of  the  highest  annual  extraction  of  minerals  under  the 
approved mining plan multiplied by the period of such mining 
lease.  The  Company  had  filed  a  writ  petition  challenging  the 
constitutionality of the Act on July 5, 2013. The Hon’ble High 
Court, Cuttack passed an order on July 9, 2013 granting interim 
stay on the operation of the Amendment Act, 2013. Because of 
the stay, as on date, the Act is not enforceable and any demand 

294

received by the Company is not liable to be proceeded with. 
Meanwhile,  the  Company  received  demand  notices  for  the 
various mines at Odisha totalling to ₹5,579.00 crore (March 31, 
2019:  ₹5,579.00  crore).  The  Company  has  concluded  that  it  is 
remote that the claim will sustain on ultimate resolution of the 
legal case by the court. 

 In  April  2015,  the  Company  has  received  an  intimation  from 
Government  of  Odisha,  granting  extension  of  validity  period 
for leases under the MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 up to March 
31, 2030 in respect of eight mines and up to March 31, 2020 for 
two mines subject to execution of supplementary lease deed. 
Liability has been provided in the books of accounts as on March 
31, 2020 as per the existing provisions of the Stamp Act, 1899 
and  the  Company  had  paid  the  stamp  duty  and  registration 
charges  totalling  ₹413.72  crore  for  supplementary  deed 
execution in respect of eight mines out of the above mines.

(b) 

  Noamundi Iron Ore Mine of the Company was due for its third 
renewal with effect from January 01, 2012. The application for 
renewal was submitted by the Company within the stipulated 
time,  but  it  remained  pending  consideration  with  the  State 
and  the  mining  operations  were  continued  in  terms  of  the 
prevailing law.

 By  a  judgement  of  April  2014  in  the  case  of  Goa  mines,  the 
Supreme  Court  took  a  view  that  second  and  subsequent 
renewal  of  mining  lease  can  be  effected  once  the  State 
considers  the  application  and  decides  to  renew  the  mining 
lease  by  issuing  an  express  order.  State  of  Jharkhand  issued 
renewal  order  to  the  Company  on  December  31,  2014.  The 
State, however, took a view on interpretation of Goa judgement 
that the mining carried out after expiry of the period of second 
renewal  was  ‘illegal’  and  hence,  issued  a  demand  notice  of 
₹3,568.31 crore being the price of iron ore extracted. The said 
demand  has  been  challenged  by  the  Company  before  the 
Jharkhand High Court.

 The mining operations were suspended from August 01, 2014. 
Upon  issuance  of  an  express  order,  Company  paid  ₹152.00 
crore under protest, so that mining could be resumed.

 The Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation (MMDR) 
Amendment  Ordinance,  2015  promulgated  on  January  12, 
2015  provides  for  extension  of  such  mining  leases  whose 
applications  for  renewal  have  remained  pending  with  the 
State(s). Based on the new Ordinance, Jharkhand Government 
revised the Express Order on February 12, 2015 for extending 
the  period  of  lease  up  to  March  31,  2030  with  the  following 
terms and conditions:

•  value  of  iron  ore  produced  by  alleged  unlawful  mining 
during  the  period  January  1,  2012  to  April  20,  2014  for 
₹2,994.49  crore  to  be  decided  on  the  basis  of  disposal  of 
our writ petition before Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand.

•  value  of  iron  ore  produced  from  April  21,  2014  to  July 
17,  2014  amounting  to  ₹421.83  crore  to  be  paid  in 
maximum 3 instalments.

•  value  of  iron  ore  produced  from  July  18,  2014  to  August 

31, 2014 i.e. ₹152.00 crore to be paid immediately.

District Mining Officer Chaibasa on March 16, 2015 issued a demand 
notice  for  payment  of  ₹421.83  crore,  in  three  monthly  instalments. 
The Company on March 20, 2015 replied that since the lease has been 
extended by application of law till March 31, 2030, the above demand 
is not tenable. The Company paid ₹50.00 crore under protest on July 
27, 2015, because the State had stopped issuance of transit permits.

The  Company  filed  another  writ  petition  before  the  Hon’ble  High 
Court  of  Jharkhand  which  was  heard  on  September  9,  2015.  An 
interim order was given by the Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand on 
September  17,  2015  wherein  the  Court  has  directed  the  Company 
to  pay  the  amount  of  ₹371.83  crore  in  3  equal  instalments,  first 
instalment by October 15, 2015, second instalment by November 15, 
2015 and third instalment by December 15, 2015.

In view of the interim order of the Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand 
₹124.00  crore  was  paid  on  September  28,  2015,  ₹124.00  crore 
on  November  12,  2015  and  ₹123.83  crore  on  December  14, 
2015 under protest.

The case is pending before the Hon’ble High court for disposal. The 
State issued similar terms and conditions to other mining lessees in 
the  State  rendering  the  mining  as  illegal.  Based  on  the  Company’s 
assessment  of  the  Goa  mines  judgement  read  with  the  Ordinance 
issued in the year 2015, the Company believes that it is remote that 
the demand of the State would sustain.

(i)  

 Investments  in  mutual  funds  and  derivative  instruments  (other  than  those  designated  in  a  hedging  relationship)  are  mandatorily 
classified as fair value through profit and loss.

(b) 

 Fair value hierarchy

 The  following  table  provides  an  analysis  of  financial  instruments  that  are  measured  subsequent  to  initial  recognition  at  fair  value, 
grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, as described below:

 Quoted  prices  in  an  active  market  (Level  1):  This  level  of  hierarchy  includes  financial  assets  that  are  measured  by  reference  to 
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This Level consists of investment in quoted equity shares 
and mutual funds.

 Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities, measured using 
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or 
indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). This Level of hierarchy includes the Company’s over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts.

 Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities 
measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair value is determined in whole or in 
part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions 
in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This Level includes investment in unquoted equity shares and 
preference shares.

(i) 

Current financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which is approximately equal to their fair value.

(ii)  

(iii) 

 Derivatives  are  fair  valued  using  market  observable  rates  and  published  prices  together  with  forecasted  cash  flow  information 
where applicable.

 Investments carried at fair value are generally based on market price quotations. Investments in equity shares included in Level 3 of the 
fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair value. Cost of unquoted equity instruments has been 
considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value because of a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the 
best estimate of fair value within that range.

 Fair  value  of  investment  in  preference  shares  is  estimated  through  a  valuation  model  incorporating  assumptions  which  includes 
unobservable market data and by discounting the expected future cash flows using a discount rate equivalent to the expected rate of 
return for a similar instrument and maturity as on the reporting date.  Key inputs to the valuation model are expected cash flows and 
discount rate expected for an instrument with similar terms and maturity as on the reporting date.

(iv)  

 Fair  value  of  investments  in  preference  share  of  Tata  Steel  BSL  Limited  is  dependent  on  its  profitability  and  cash  flows  available  for 
distribution. The expected cash flows have been discounted considering a pre-tax discount rate of 11.90%. The fair value is sensitive 
to changes in discount rate and profitability. An increase in cash flow by 1% would lead to an increase in fair value of preference shares 
by ₹169.30 crore and increase in discount rate by 1% would lead to decrease in fair value by ₹1,444.90 crore.

40.  Disclosures on financial instruments (Contd.)

(v)  

(iv) 

 Fair value of borrowings which have a quoted market price in an active market is based on its market price which is categorised as Level1. 
Fair value of borrowings which do not have an active market or are unquoted is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows 
using a discount rate equivalent to the risk-free rate of return adjusted for credit spread considered by lenders for instruments of similar 
maturities which is categorised as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations 
in  any  estimation  technique.  Therefore,  for  substantially  all  financial  instruments,  the  fair  value  estimates  presented  above  are  not 
necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, 
fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date.

(vii)   There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

(viii)  Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurement is as below:

Balance at the beginning of the year
Additions during the year 
Fair value changes through profit or loss

(c)  Derivative financial instruments

Derivative instruments used by the Company include forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps, options and interest 
rate caps and collars. These financial instruments are utilised to hedge future transactions and cash flows and are subject to hedge accounting 
under Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments” wherever possible. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading 
purposes. All transactions in derivative financial instruments are undertaken to manage risks arising from underlying business activities.

(d)   Transfer of financial assets

 The  Company  transfers  certain  trade  receivables  under 
discounting  arrangements  with  banks/financial  institutions. 
Some of such arrangements do not qualify for de-recognition 
due  to  recourse  arrangements  being  in  place.  Consequently, 
the proceeds received from transfer are recorded as short-term 
borrowings from banks and financial institutions. As at March 
31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, there has been no such transfer of 
trade receivables.

(e)   Financial risk management

 In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily 
to  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  interest 
rates,  equity  prices,  liquidity  and  credit  risk,  which  may 
adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments.

 The  Company  has  a  risk  management  policy  which  not  only 
covers the foreign exchange risks but also other risks associated 
with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks 
and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the 
Board of Directors. The risk management framework aims to:

(i)  

 create  a  stable  business  planning  environment  by 
reducing  the  impact  of  currency  and  interest  rate 
fluctuations on the Company’s business plan.

(ii)  

 achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining 
the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.

(i)   Market risk:

 Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable 
fair  values  or  in  future  cash  flows  that  may  result  from  a 
change  in  the  price  of  a  financial  instrument.  The  value  of 
a  financial  instrument  may  change  as  a  result  of  changes  in 
interest  rates,  foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  equity  price 
fluctuations,  liquidity  and  other  market  changes.  Future 
specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with 
reasonable accuracy.

(a)   Market risk - Foreign currency exchange rate risk:

 The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have a 
potential impact on the statement of profit and loss and equity, 
where any transaction references more than one currency or 
where  assets/liabilities  are  denominated  in  a  currency  other 
than the functional currency of the Company.

 The Company, as per its risk management policy, uses foreign 
exchange and other derivative instruments primarily to hedge 
foreign  exchange  and  interest  rate  exposure.  Any  weakening 
of the functional currency may impact the Company’s cost of 
imports and cost of borrowings and consequently may increase 
the cost of financing the Company’s capital expenditures. Such 
movements may also impact the fair value of preference shares 
investments held by the Company in its foreign subsidiaries.

 A  10%  appreciation/depreciation  of  foreign  currencies  with 
respect  to  functional  currency  of  the  Company  would  result 
in  an  increase/decrease  in  the  Company’s  net  profit/equity 
before  considering  tax  impacts  by  approximately  ₹158.75 
crore  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020  (2018-19:  ₹1,491.07 
crore) and an increase/decrease in carrying value of property, 
plant  and  equipment 
(before  considering  depreciation) 
by  approximately  ₹109.94  crore  as  at  March  31,  2020 
(March 31, 2019: ₹145.38 crore).

 The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated by assuming 
a  simultaneous  parallel  foreign  exchange  rates  shift  of 
all  the  currencies  by  10%  against  the  functional  currency 
of the Company.

 The  sensitivity  analysis  has  been  based  on  the  composition 
of  the  Company’s  financial  assets  and  liabilities  as  at  March 
31,  2020  and  March  31,  2019  excluding  trade  payables,  trade 
receivables,  other  derivative  and  non-derivative  financial 
instruments  (except  investment  in  preference  shares  and 
loans  receivable)  not  forming  part  of  debt  and  which  do  not 
present a material exposure. The period end balances are not 
necessarily representative of the average balance outstanding 
during the period.

(b)  Market risk - Interest rate risk:

 Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity 
for  changes  in  variable  interest  rates.  Any  movement  in  the 
reference rates could have an impact on the Company’s cash 
flows as well as costs. The Company is subject to variable interest 
rates on some of its interest bearing liabilities. The Company’s 
interest rate exposure is mainly related to debt obligations.

 Based  on  the  composition  of  debt  as  at  March  31,  2020 
and  March  31,  2019,  a  100  basis  points  increase  in  interest 
rates  would  increase  the  Company’s  finance  costs  (before 
considering  interest  eligible  for  capitalisation)  and  thereby 
consequently reduce net profit/equity before considering tax 
impacts  by  approximately  ₹149.37  crore  for  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2020 (2018-19: ₹128.33 crore).

40.  Disclosures on financial instruments (Contd.)

 The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 100 basis 
points  interest  rate  across  all  yield  curves.  This  calculation 
also  assumes  that  the  change  occurs  at  the  balance  sheet 
date  and  has  been  calculated  based  on  risk  exposures 
outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not 
necessarily  representative  of  the  average  debt  outstanding 
during the period.

(c)   Market risk - Equity price risk:

 Equity price risk is related to change in market reference price 
of investments in equity securities held by the Company.

 The  fair  value  of  quoted  investments  held  by  the  Company 
exposes  the  Company  to  equity  price  risks.  In  general,  these 
investments are not held for trading purposes.

 The  fair  value  of  quoted  investments  in  equity,  classified  as 
fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  as  at  March 
31,  2020  and  March  31,  2019  was  ₹204.31  crore  and  ₹448.61 
crore, respectively.

 A  10%  change  in  equity  prices  of  such  securities  held  as  at 
March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, would result in an impact 
of ₹20.43 crore and ₹44.86 crore respectively on equity before 
considering tax impact.

(ii)   Credit risk:

 Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counter-party 
failure  to  repay  or  service  debt  according  to  the  contractual 
terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct 
risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness 
as well as concentration risks.

 The Company has a policy of dealing only with credit worthy 
counter  parties  and  obtaining  sufficient  collateral,  where 
appropriate  as  a  means  of  mitigating  the  risk  of  financial 
loss from defaults.

 Financial  instruments  that  are  subject  to  credit  risk  and 
concentration thereof principally consist of trade receivables, 
loans  receivables,  investments  in  debt  securities  and  mutual 
funds,  balances  with  bank,  bank  deposits,  derivatives  and 
financial  guarantees  provided  by  the  Company.  None  of 
the  financial  instruments  of  the  Company  result  in  material 
risk  except  preference  shares 
concentration  of  credit 
investments, the Company made in its subsidiary companies.

 The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum 
credit  risk.  The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  was 
₹27,722.94  crore  and  ₹37,584.12  crore,  as  at  March  31,  2020 
and  March  31,  2019  respectively,  being  the  total  carrying 
value of trade receivables, balances with bank, bank deposits, 
investments in debt securities, mutual funds, loans, derivative 
assets and other financial assets.

 The  risk  relating  to  trade  receivables 
note 14, page 263.

is  presented 

in 

 The  Company’s  exposure  to  customers  is  diversified  and  no 
single customer, other than a subsidiary, contributes to more 
than 10% of outstanding trade receivables as at March 31, 2020 
and March 31, 2019.

 In  respect  of  financial  guarantees  provided  by  the  Company 
to banks/financial institutions, the maximum exposure which 
the Company is exposed to is the maximum amount which the 
Company  would  have  to  pay  if  the  guarantee  is  called  upon. 
Based on the expectation at the end of the reporting period, 
the Company considers that it is more likely than not that such 
an amount will not be payable under the guarantees provided.

(iii)   Liquidity risk:

 Liquidity  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  the  Company  cannot 
meet  its  financial  obligations.  The  objective  of  liquidity  risk 
management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that 
funds are available for use as per requirements.

 The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working 
capital  lines  from  various  banks.  Furthermore,  the  Company 
have access to undrawn lines of committed and uncommitted 
borrowing/  facilities,  funds  from  debt  markets  through 
commercial paper programs, non-convertible debentures and 
other debt instruments. The Company invests its surplus funds 
in  bank  fixed  deposits  and  in  mutual  funds,  which  carry  low 
market  risk.  The  Company  has  also  invested  15%  of  the  non-
convertible debentures (issued by the Company) falling due for 
repayment in the next 12 months in bank deposits, to meet the 
regulatory norms of liquidity requirements. The Company also 
constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and 
capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

 The Company’s liquidity position remains strong at ₹8,315.34 
crore  as  at  March  31,  2020,  comprising  ₹4,516.34  crore  in 
the  form  of  current  investments,  cash  and  cash  equivalents 
and  other  balances  with  banks 
(including  non-current 
earmarked  balances)  and  ₹3,799.00  crore  in  committed 
undrawn bank lines.

 We  have  audited  the  accompanying  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements of Tata Steel Limited (hereinafter referred to as the 
‘Holding  Company”)  and  its  subsidiaries  (Holding  Company 
and  its  subsidiaries  together  referred  to  as  “the  Group”),  its 
associates  and  jointly  controlled  entities  [refer  note  1  to  the 
attached Consolidated Financial Statements], which comprise 
the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  as  at  March  31,  2020,  the 
Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  (including  Other 
Comprehensive 
Income),  the  Consolidated  Statement  of 
Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Cash Flows Statement 
for  the  year  then  ended,  and  Notes  to  the  Consolidated 
Financial  Statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant 
accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory 
information 
prepared based on the relevant records. (hereinafter referred 
to as “the Consolidated Financial Statements”).

 In  our  opinion  and  to  the  best  of  our  information  and 
according  to  the  explanations  given  to  us,  the  aforesaid 
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  give  the 
information 
required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner 
so  required  and  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in  conformity  with 
the  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  India,  of  the 
consolidated  state  of  affairs  of  the  Group,  its  associates  and 
jointly controlled entities as at March 31, 2020, its consolidated 
total  comprehensive  income  (comprising  profit  and  other 
comprehensive  income),  its  consolidated  changes  in  equity 
and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

3.  

 We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Standards 
on  Auditing  (SAs)  specified  under  section  143(10)  of  the 
Act.  Our  responsibilities  under  those  Standards  are  further 
described  in  the  Auditor’s  Responsibilities  for  the  Audit  of 
the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  section  of  our  report. 
We  are  independent  of  the  Group,  its  associates  and  jointly 
controlled entities in accordance with the ethical requirements 
that  are  relevant  to  our  audit  of  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements  in  India  in  terms  of  the  Code  of  Ethics  issued 
by  ICAI  and  the  relevant  provisions  of  the  Act,  and  we  have 
fulfilled  our  other  ethical  responsibilities  in  accordance  with 
these  requirements.  We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we 
have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other 
auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraph 19 of 
the Other Matters paragraph below, other than the unaudited 
financial statements/ financial information as certified by the 

310

management  and  referred  to  in  paragraph  20  and  financial 
information not available as referred to in paragraph 21 of the 
Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to 
provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

4.  

 The following Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern 
(as reproduced) has been communicated to us by the auditors 
of  Tata  Steel  Europe  Limited,  a  subsidiary  of  the  Holding 
Company, vide their audit report dated June 24, 2020: 

 “Without  qualifying  our  opinion  on  the  special  purpose 
financial information, we have considered the adequacy of the 
disclosure  made  in  the  special  purpose  financial  information 
concerning Tata Steel Europe Limited’s ability to continue as a 
going  concern.  The  impact  of  the  COVID-19  global  pandemic 
will require Tata Steel Europe Limited to access group company 
support  in  order  to  meet  its  obligations  as  they  fall  due.  Tata 
Steel  Europe  Limited  has  received  a  letter  from  TS  Global 
Procurement  Company  Pte  Ltd  undertaking  to  provide 
working  capital  and/or  other  cash  support  up  to  a  specified 
amount which exceeds the amount forecast as being required 
by  Tata  Steel  Europe  Limited  over  the  next  twelve  months. 
The  letter  states  that  it  represents  present  policy,  is  given  by 
way of comfort only and is not to be construed as constituting 
a promise as to the future conduct of TS Global Procurement 
Company Pte Ltd or Tata Steel Limited. Accordingly, there can 
be  no  certainty  that  the  funds  required  by  Tata  Steel  Europe 
Limited  will  in  fact  be  made  available.  These  conditions, 
along with the other matters explained in the special purpose 
financial  information,  indicate  the  existence  of  a  material 
uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about Tata Steel 
Europe  Limited’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  The 
special  purpose  financial  information  does  not  include  the 
adjustments that would result if Tata Steel Europe Limited were 
unable to continue as a going concern.”

 Also,  refer  note  49  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
in this regard.

Emphasis of Matter

5.  

 We  draw  your  attention  to  Note  2(c)  to  the  consolidated 
financial  statements  which  explains  the  uncertainties  and 
management’s  assessment  of  the  financial  impact  due  to 
lockdown  /  restrictions  related  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic 
imposed by the Government, for which a definitive assessment 
of the impact is dependent upon future economic conditions. 
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

6.  

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

Key audit matter
Assessment  of 
contingent liabilities

litigations  and 

related  disclosure  of 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our audit procedures included the following:

[Refer to Note 2 (c) to the Consolidated financial statements– “Use 
of estimates and critical accounting judgements – Provisions and 
contingent  liabilities”,  Note  40  (A)  to  the  Consolidated  financial 
statements  –  “Contingencies”  and  Note  41  to  the  Consolidated 
financial statements – “Other significant litigations”].

As  at  March  31,  2020,  the  Holding  Company  has  exposures 
towards  litigations  relating  to  various  matters  as  set  out  in  the 
aforesaid Notes.

Significant  management  judgement  is  required  to  assess  such 
matters  to  determine  the  probability  of  occurrence  of  material 
outflow  of  economic  resources  and  whether  a  provision  should 
be recognised, or a disclosure should be made. The management 
judgement is also supported with legal advice in certain cases as 
considered appropriate. As the ultimate outcome of the matters are 
uncertain and the positions taken by the management are based 
on  the  application  of  their  best  judgement,  related  legal  advice 
including those relating to interpretation of laws/regulations, it is 
considered to be a Key Audit Matter.

•  We understood, assessed and tested the design and operating 
effectiveness  of 
the  Holding  Company’s  key  controls 
surrounding  assessment  of  litigations  relating  to  the  relevant 
laws and regulations;

•  We discussed with management the recent developments and 
the status of the material litigations which were reviewed and 
noted by the Holding Company’s audit committee;

•  We  performed  our  assessment  on  a  test  basis  on  the 
underlying  calculations  supporting  the  contingent  liabilities/
other  significant  litigations  made  in  relation  to  the  Holding 
Company’s Standalone Financial Statements;

•  We  used  auditor’s  experts  to  gain  an  understanding  and  to 

evaluate the disputed tax matters;

•  We  considered  external 
obtained by management;

legal  opinions,  where  relevant, 

•  We  discussed  with  the  Holding  Company’s  external  legal 
counsel  to  understand  the  interpretation  of  laws/regulations 
considered by the management in their assessment relating to 
a material litigation;

•  We  evaluated  management’s  assessments  by  understanding 
precedents  set  in  similar  cases  and  assessed  the  reliability  of 
the management’s past estimates/judgements;

•  We  evaluated  management’s  assessment  around  those 
matters that are not disclosed or not considered as contingent 
liability, as the probability of material outflow is considered to 
be remote by the management; and

•  We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures.

Based on the above work performed, management’s assessment 
in respect of Holding Company’s litigations and related disclosures 
relating  to  contingent 
litigations 
in 
the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  are  considered 
to be reasonable.

Our procedures included the following:

•  We  understood  from  the  management  of  the  subsidiary 
company,  assessed  the  design  and  tested  the  operating 
effectiveness  of  the  subsidiary  company's  key  controls 
over  the  accounting  of  business  combination  and  the 
impairment assessment.

•  We have evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity 
of the management’s expert engaged for the PPA, obtained an 
understanding  of  the  work  of  the  expert,  and  evaluated  the 
appropriateness of the expert’s work as audit evidence.

•  We have traced the value of the consideration transferred with 

reference to the BTA.

•  We  have  carried  out  our  evaluation,  by  involving  our  experts 

(“auditor’s expert”) to:

i)     review  the  PPA  and  assess  the  reasonableness  of  the 
underlying  key  assumptions  used  in  determining  the  fair 
value of assets and liabilities as at the acquisition date.

ii)     review the subsidiary company’s management's assessment 
/  method  including  the  key  assumptions  related  to  the 
projections, the discount rate used in the assessment of the 
carrying values as at the year end.

•  We  have  verified  the  subsidiary  company’s  management’s 

computation of goodwill.

•  We  have  also  assessed  the  adequacy  and  appropriateness  of 

the disclosures made.

Based  on  our  procedures  performed  above,  we  noted  that  the 
PPA of the consideration is in accordance with Ind-AS 103 Business 
Combination and that the carrying value of the acquired Property, 
plant and equipment, Right-of-use assets, Other intangible assets 
and Goodwill as at the year end was appropriate.

Key audit matter
Assessment  of  Purchase  Price  Allocation  on  acquisition 
of  business  in  accordance  with  Ind  AS  103,  Business 
Combination  and  the  appropriateness  of  the  carrying 
value  of  the  acquired  Property,  plant  and  equipment, 
Right-of-use assets, Other intangible assets and Goodwill 
as at the year end

•  [Refer  to  Note  2  (e)  to  the  Consolidated  financial  statements– 
“Business  Combination”  and  Note  42.  A  to  the  Consolidated 
financial statements – “Acquisition of Subsidiaries”]

•  On April 9, 2019, Tata Steel Long Products Limited, a subsidiary 
company  acquired  the  steel  division  of  Usha  Martin  Limited, 
pursuant  to  the  Business  Transfer  Agreement  (“BTA”).  The 
subsidiary  company  determined  the  acquisition  to  be  a 
business combination in accordance with Ind AS 103 ‘Business 
Combinations’.  Ind  AS  103  requires  the  identified  assets  and 
liabilities be recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition 
with  the  excess  of  the  acquisition  cost  over  the  identified  fair 
value of recognised assets and liabilities as goodwill.

•  The  subsidiary  company  appointed  independent  professional 
valuers  to  perform  valuation  of  assets  for  the  purpose  of 
allocation of the consolidated purchase price to the respective 
assets  and  liabilities  acquired  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  ‘the 
purchase  price  allocation’  or  ‘the  PPA’).  The  Management  of 
the subsidiary company determined that the fair values of the 
net  identifiable  assets  acquired  was  `4,042.98  crores  as  part 
of  the  PPA  and  accordingly,  the  consideration  paid  in  excess 
of  the  net  assets  acquired  resulted  in  recognition  of  Goodwill 
of `5.66 crores.

•  Significant  assumptions  and  estimates  are  used  as  of  the 
date  of  acquisition  in  the  determination  of  the  fair  values 
of  the  identified  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  in 
the transaction. 

•  Further, as at the year end, significant judgements were made 
by  the  management  of  the  subsidiary  company  in  respect  of 
the  future  projections  and  the  discount  rate  used  in  applying 
the value in use method in assessing the carrying value of the 
acquired  Property,  plant  and  equipment,  Right-of-use  assets, 
Other intangible assets and the Goodwill.

•  Accordingly, these are considered to be a key audit matter. The 
Management  of  the  subsidiary  company  concluded  that  the 
recoverable  amount  is  higher  than  their  carrying  values  and 
that no impairment provision is warranted.

 The  following  Key  Audit  Matters  were  included  in  the  audit  report  dated  May  25,  2020,  containing  an  unmodified  audit  opinion  on 
the consolidated special purpose financial information of Tata Steel BSL Limited, a subsidiary of the Holding Company, issued by other 
auditors and reproduced by us as under:

Key audit matter
“Recoverability of amounts paid against on-going litigation

Refer  Note  3  to  the  Consolidated  Special  Purpose  Financial 
Information.  Prior  to  the  approval  of  the  resolution  plan  (‘the 
BSL  Resolution  Plan’)  under  the  Corporate  Insolvency  Resolution 
Process  of  the  Insolvency  and  Bankruptcy  Code,  2016  on  15  May 
2018,  the  Holding  Company  was  a  party  to  certain  litigations. 
Pursuant  to  the  approval  of  the  BSL  Resolution  Plan,  it  was 
determined  that  no  amounts  are  payable  in  respect  of  those 
litigations as they stand extinguished.

The  Holding  Company  had  also  made  certain  payments  to  the 
relevant  authorities  in  respect  of  those  litigations  which  were 
presented as recoverable under “Other non-current assets” in the 
Consolidated Special Purpose Financial Information.

The  estimates  related  to  expected  outcome  of  litigations  and 
recoverability  of  payments  made  in  respect  thereof  have  high 
degree  of 
judicial 
precedents  in  India  in  respect  of  disposal  of  litigations  involving 
companies admitted to Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process.

The  application  of  significant  judgement  in  the  aforementioned 
matter  required  substantial  involvement  of  senior  personnel  on 
the audit engagement including individuals with expertise in tax 
related matters.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We have performed the following procedures, among others, to 
test the recoverability of payments made by the Holding Company 
in relation to litigations instituted against it prior to the approval of 
the BSL Resolution Plan:

•  Verified  the  underlying  documents  related  to  litigation  and 

other correspondences with statutory authorities;

• 

Involved  direct  and  indirect  tax  specialists  to  review  the 
process used by the management to determine estimates and 
to test the judgements applied by management in developing 
the accounting estimates;

•  Assessed management’s estimate of recoverability, supported 
by  an  opinion  obtained  by  the  management  from  a  legal 
expert, by determining whether;

-     The  method  of  measurement  used  is  appropriate  in  the 

circumstances; and

-    The assumptions used by management are reasonable in light 

of the measurement principles of Ind AS.

•  Determined whether the methods for making estimates have 

been applied consistently;

•  Evaluated  whether

the  Consolidated 

Special  Purpose 

On  1  June  2019,  the  Holding  Company  acquired  Angul  Energy 
Limited  (formerly  known  as  Bhushan  Energy  Limited)  for  a 
purchase consideration of `10 crores and provided additional funds 
aggregating  to  `755  crores  by  way  of  Inter  Corporate  Deposits 
(‘ICD’), in accordance with the resolution plan (‘the BEL Resolution 
Plan’)  under  the  Corporate  Insolvency  Resolution  Process  of  the 
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination 
under Ind AS 103, Business Combination and includes a number of 
significant  and  complex  judgements  in  determination  of  the  fair 
value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The acquisition resulted in recognition of capital reserve amounting 
to INR 804 Crores, as disclosed in the aforesaid note.

Considering  the  materiality  of  the  impact  on  the  accompanying 
Consolidated  Special  Purpose  Financial 
Information  and 
judgements  and  assumptions

involved,  which  required  substantial 
involvement  of  senior

 The  Holding  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible 
for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises 
the  information  in  the  Integrated  Report,  Board’s  Report 
along  with  its  Annexures  and  Financial  Highlights  included 
in the Holding Company’s Annual Report (titled as ‘Tata Steel 
Integrated  Report  &  Annual  Accounts  2019-20’),  but  does

auditor’s report thereon.

 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 
and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information 
is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements  or  our  knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit  or 
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the 
work we have performed and the reports of the other auditors 
as  furnished  to  us  (Refer  paragraph  19  below),  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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with 
Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

11.  

 The  Holding  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible 
for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  these  Consolidated 
Financial  Statements  in  term  of  the  requirements  of  the  Act 
that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  consolidated  financial 
position,  consolidated  financial  performance  consolidated 
changes  in  equity  and  consolidated  cash  flows  of  the  Group 
including 
jointly  controlled  entities 
in  accordance  with  the  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted 
including  the  Accounting  Standards 
specified  under  section  133  of  the  Act.  The  respective  Board 
of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its 
associates  and  jointly  controlled  entities  are  responsible  for 
maintenance  of  adequate  accounting  records  in  accordance 
with  the  provisions  of  the  Act  for  safeguarding  the  assets

in 

of  the  Group  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 the design, implementation and 
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were 
operating effectively for ensuring 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 Holding Company, as aforesaid.

12.  

 In  preparing  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the 
respective  Board  of  Directors  of  the  companies  included  in 
the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entities 
are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its 
associates and jointly controlled entities to continue as a going 
concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going 
concern  and  using  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting 
unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to 
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

13. 

 The  respective  Board  of  Directors  of  the  companies  included 
in the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entities 
are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process 
of the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entities.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements

14.  

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

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

• 

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

•  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  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  Holding  company  has  adequate  internal 
financial controls with reference to financial statements in 
place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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

•  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  management’s  use 
of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and,  based 
on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material 
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may 
cast  significant  doubt  on  the  ability  of  the  Group  and  its 
associates  and  jointly  controlled  entities  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  jointly  controlled  entities  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 jointly controlled 
entities  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  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  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.

 We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  of 
the  Holding  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  year  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.

special  purpose  financial  information  have  not  been  audited 
by  us.  These  financial  statements/special  purpose  financial

its  subsidiary  companies,  its  associate  companies  and  jointly 
controlled  companies,  to  whom  reporting  under  clause  (i) 
of  sub  section  3  of  Section  143  of  the  Act  in  respect  of  the 
adequacy  of  the  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to 
financial  statements,  which  are  companies  incorporated  in

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

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

financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

3. 

4.  

 Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's 
internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  consolidated 
financial  statements  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  ICAI  and  the  Standards  on 
Auditing  deemed  to  be  prescribed  under  section  143(10)  of 
the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit 
of  internal  financial  controls,  both  applicable  to  an  audit  of 
internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. 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  with  reference  to  consolidated  financial 
statements  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  with  reference  to  consolidated  financial  statements 
internal 
and  their  operating  effectiveness.  Our  audit  of 
financial  controls  with  reference  to  consolidated  financial 
statements  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal 
financial  controls  with  reference  to  consolidated  financial 
statements,  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  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to 
fraud or error.

5.  

 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the 
audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their 
reports  referred  to  in  the  Other  Matters  paragraph  below, 
is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit 
opinion  on  the  Company’s  internal  financial  controls  system 
with reference to consolidated financial statements.

Meaning  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  with  reference  to 
financial statements

6.  

 A  company's  internal  financial  control  with  reference  to 
financial  statements 
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 

320

ConsolidatedINTEGRATED REPORT & ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 2019-20 | 113TH YEARaccounting  principles.  A  company's  internal  financial  control 
with reference to financial statements 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  with 
reference to financial statements

7.  

inherent 

limitations  of 

 Because  of  the 
internal  financial 
controls with reference to financial statements,  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  with  reference  to  financial 
statements  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  the 
internal financial control with reference to financial statements 
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or 
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures 
may deteriorate.

Opinion

8.  

 In our opinion, the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, 
its  associate  companies  and  jointly  controlled  companies, 
which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material 
respects,  an  adequate  internal  financial  controls  system  with 
reference  to  financial  statements  and  such  internal  financial 
controls with reference to financial statements were operating 
effectively as at March 31, 2020, 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. Also refer paragraph 5 of our report.

Other Matters

9. 

 Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the 
adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial 
controls  with  reference  to  financial  statements  insofar  as  it 
relates to thirteen subsidiary companies, which are companies 
incorporated  in  India,  is  based  on  the  corresponding  reports 
of  the  auditors  of  such  companies  incorporated  in  India.  Our 
opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

1.  Company information

 Tata Steel Limited (“the Company”) is a public limited Company 
incorporated  in  India  with  its  registered  office  in  Mumbai,

 The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (collectively  referred  to  as 
‘the Group’) have presence across the entire value chain of steel 
manufacturing from mining and processing iron ore and coal 
to  producing  and  distributing  finished  products.  The  Group 
offers a broad range of steel products including a portfolio of 
high  value-added  downstream  products  such  as  hot  rolled, 
cold rolled, coated steel, rebars, wire rods, tubes and wires.

 The  consolidated  financial  statements  as  at  March  31,  2020 
present  the  financial  position  of  the  Group  as  well  as  its 
interests in associate companies and joint arrangements. The 
list of entities consolidated is provided in note 53, page 431.

 The functional and presentation currency of the Company and 
the presentation currency of the Group is Indian Rupee (“₹”).

 As on March 31, 2020, Tata Sons Private Limited owns 32.93% 
of the Ordinary Shares of the Company, and has the ability to 
influence the Group’s operations.

 The  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020 
were  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  and  authorised  for 
issue on June 29, 2020.

2.  Significant accounting policies

 The  significant  accounting  policies  applied  by  the  Group  in 
the  preparation  of  its  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
listed  below.  Such  accounting  policies  have  been  applied 
consistently to all the periods presented in these consolidated 
financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

(a)  Statement of compliance

 The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to 
as  “Ind  AS”)  prescribed  under  section  133  of  the  Companies 
Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) 
Rules,  as  amended  from  time  to  time  and  other  relevant 
provisions of the Act.

(b)  Basis of preparation

 The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared 
under  the  historical  cost  convention  with  the  exception  of 
certain assets and liabilities that are required to be carried at 
fair values by Ind AS.

330

 Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset 
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 
market participants at the measurement date.

(c)  Use of estimates and critical accounting judgements

 In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the 
Group  makes  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  about 
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily 
apparent  from  other  sources.  The  estimates  and  associated 
assumptions  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other 
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may 
differ from these estimates.

 Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on 
an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates  are 
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and 
future periods affected.

 Key  source  of  estimation  of  uncertainty  at  the  date  of 
consolidated  financial  statements,  which  may  cause  material 
adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities 
within  the  next  financial  year,  is  in  respect  of  impairment, 
useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible 
assets,  valuation  of  deferred  tax  assets,  provisions  and 
contingent  liabilities,  fair  value  measurements  of  financial 
instruments,  retirement  benefit  obligations  and  non-current 
assets classified as held for sale as discussed below.

Impairment

 The Group estimates the value in use of the cash generating 
unit (CGU) based on future cash flows after considering current 
economic  conditions  and  trends,  estimated  future  operating 
results and growth rate and anticipated future economic and 
regulatory conditions. The estimated cash flows are developed 
using internal forecasts. The cash flows are discounted using a 
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. 
Further  details  of  the  Group’s  impairment  review  and  key 
assumptions are set out in notes 3, page 344, note 5, page 349, 
note 6, page 350, and note 7, page 351.

 Useful  lives  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and 
intangible assets

  The  Group  reviews  the  useful  life  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting 
period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation 
and  amortisation  expense  in  future  periods.  The  policy  has 
been detailed in note 2(n), page 335.

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

Valuation of deferred tax assets

 The Group reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets 
at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period.  The  policy  has  been 
detailed in note 2(y), page 341 and its further information are 
set out in note 13, page 360.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

 A  provision  is  recognised  when  the  Group  has  a  present 
obligation as result of a past event and it is probable that the 
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, 
in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are 
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the 
current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognised 
in  the  financial  statements.  Further  details  are  set  out  in 
notes 26, page 386 and note 40(A), page 407.

Fair value measurements of financial instruments 

 When  the  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities 
recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on 
quoted  prices  in  active  markets,  their  fair  value  is  measured 
using  valuation  techniques  including  Discounted  Cash  Flow 
Model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable 
markets  where  possible,  but  where  this  is  not  feasible,  a 
degree  of  judgement  is  required  in  establishing  fair  values. 
Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity 
risks, credit risks and volatility. Changes in assumptions about 
these  factors  could  affect  the  reported  fair  value  of  financial 
instruments. Further details are set out in note 45, page 417.

Retirement benefit obligations and assets  

 The  Group’s  retirement  benefit  obligations  are  subject  to  a 
number  of  judgements  including  discount  rates,  inflation 
and salary growth. Significant judgements are required when 
setting  these  criteria  and  a  change  in  these  assumptions 
would  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  amount  recorded  in 
the Group’s balance sheet and the consolidated statement of 
profit  and  loss.  The  Group  sets  these  judgements  based  on 
previous  experience  and  third  party  actuarial  advice.  Further 
details on the Group’s retirement benefit obligations, including 
key judgements are set out in note 39, page 396.

Non-current assets held for sale

 The  recognition  of  non-current  assets  (or  disposal  groups)  as 
held for sale is dependent upon whether its carrying amount 
will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather 
than through continuing use. Significant judgement is required 

to assess whether the sale of the assets (or disposal group) is 
highly probable.

Estimation of uncertainties relating to COVID-19

 Post declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic by the World Health 
Organization,  the  Government  in  India  and  across  the  world 
have  taken  significant  measures  to  curtail  the  wide  spread 
of  virus,  including  country  wide  lockdown  and  restriction  in 
economic activities.

 In  view  of  such  lockdowns,  operations  at  the  Group’s  steel 
making  facilities  in  India  have  been  scaled  down  from  the 
end  week  of  March  2020.  The  Group’s  overseas  operations  in 
Europe,  South  East  Asia  and  Canada  have  also  been  scaled 
down over various periods and are being operated as per the 
local guidelines, wherever permitted.

 In view of the impact of COVID-19, the Group has assessed the 
carrying  amounts  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  right-
of-use  assets,  goodwill,  intangible  assets,  inventories,  trade 
receivables, investments and other financial assets. In assessing 
the recoverable value of such assets, the Group has considered 
various  internal  and  external  information  such  as  existing 
long-term arrangements with customer and vendor partners, 
long-term  business  plan,  cash  flow  forecasts  and  possible 
future  uncertainties  in  economic  conditions  because  of  the 
pandemic  including  lockdowns  and  supply  chain  disruptions 
across various geographies.

 As per the Group’s current assessment of recoverability of these 
assets,  other  than  the  impairment  recorded,  no  significant 
impact on carrying amounts of these assets is expected.

 The  eventual  outcome  of  the  impact  of  the  global  health 
pandemic  may  be  different  from  those  estimated  as  on  the 
date of approval of these consolidated financial statements and 
the Group continues to closely monitor the situation including 
any  material  changes  to  future  economic  conditions  and 
consequential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

affect  those  returns  through  its  power  to  direct  the  relevant 
activities of the entity.

 The results of subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates 
acquired  or  disposed  off  during  the  year  are  included  in  the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  and  loss  from  the  effective 
date  of  acquisition  or  up  to  the  effective  date  of  disposal, 
as appropriate.

 Wherever  necessary,  adjustments  are  made  to  the  financial 
statements of subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates 
to  bring  their  accounting  policies  in  line  with  those  used  by 
other members of the Group.

 Intra-group  transactions,  balances,  income  and  expenses  are 
eliminated on consolidation.

 Non-controlling  interests  in  the  net  assets  of  consolidated 
subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity. 
The  interest  of  non-controlling  shareholders  may  be  initially 
measured  either  at  fair  value  or  at  the  non-controlling 
interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s 
identifiable  net  assets.  The  choice  of  measurement  basis  is 
made  on  an  acquisition-by-acquisition  basis.  Subsequent  to 
acquisition,  the  carrying  value  of  non-controlling  interests 
is  the  amount  of  those  interests  at  initial  recognition  plus 
the  non-controlling  interests’  share  of  subsequent  changes 
in  equity.  Total  comprehensive  income  is  attributed  to  non-
controlling  interests  even  if  it  results  in  the  non-controlling 
interests having a deficit balance.

(e)  Business combinations

 Acquisition  of  subsidiaries  and  businesses  are  accounted  for 
using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in 
each business combination is measured at the aggregate of the 
acquisition date fair values of assets given, liabilities incurred 
by  the  Group  to  the  former  owners  of  the  acquiree  and 
equity  interests  issued  by  the  Group  in  exchange  for  control 
of the acquiree.

 Acquisition  related  costs  are  recognised  in  the  consolidated 
statement of profit and loss.

 Goodwill  arising  on  acquisition  is  recognised  as  an  asset 
and  measured  at  cost,  being  the  excess  of  the  consideration 
transferred  in  the  business  combination  over  the  Group’s 
interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, 
liabilities assumed and contingent liabilities recognised. Where 
the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the 

cost of acquisition, after re-assessing the fair values of the net 
assets  and  contingent  liabilities,  the  excess  is  recognised  as 
capital reserve on consolidation.

 Once control has been achieved, any subsequent acquisitions 
where  the  Group  does  not  originally  hold  hundred  percent 
interest in a subsidiary are treated as an acquisition of shares 
identifiable  net 
from  non-controlling  shareholders.  The 
assets  are  not  subject  to  further  fair  value  adjustments  and 
the  difference  between  the  cost  of  acquisition  of  the  non-
controlling  interest  and  the  net  book  value  of  the  additional 
interest acquired is adjusted in equity.

 Business  combinations  arising  from  transfer  of  interests  in 
entities  that  are  under  common  control  are  accounted  for 
using the pooling of interest method. The difference between 
any  consideration  transferred  and  the  aggregate  historical 
carrying  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  acquired  entity 
are recognised in shareholders’ equity.

(f)  Goodwill

  Goodwill  is  initially  recognised  as  an  asset  at  cost  and 
is  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  accumulated 
impairment losses.

 For  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing,  goodwill  is  allocated 
to  each  of  the  Group’s  cash-generating  units  or  groups  of 
cash-  generating  units  that  are  expected  to  benefit  from 
the  synergies  of  the  combination.  Cash-generating  units  to 
which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment 
annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that 
the  unit’s  value  may  be  impaired.  If  the  recoverable  amount 
of  the  cash-generating  unit  is  less  than  the  carrying  value  of 
the  unit,  the  impairment  loss  is  allocated  first  to  reduce  the 
carrying value of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to 
the other assets of the unit in proportion to the carrying value 
of each asset in the unit.

 An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a 
subsequent period. On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable 
amount of goodwill is included in the determination of profit 
or loss on disposal.

(g) 

Investment in associates

  Associates  are  those  enterprises  over  which  the  Group  has 
significant influence, but does not have control or joint control.

 Investments  in  associates  are  accounted  for  using  the  equity 
method  and  are  initially  recognised  at  cost  from  the  date 
significant influence commences until the date that significant 
influence  ceases.  Subsequent  changes  in  the  carrying  value

reflect the post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net 
assets of the associate and impairment charges, if any.

 When  the  Group’s  share  of  losses  exceeds  the  carrying  value 
of  the  associate,  the  carrying  value  is  reduced  to  nil  and 
recognition  of  further  losses  is  discontinued,  except  to  the 
extent  that  the  Group  has  incurred  obligations  in  respect 
of the associate.

 Unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  the  Group  and  its 
associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest 
in the associates, unrealised losses  are also  eliminated unless 
the  transaction  provides  evidence  of  an  impairment  of  the 
asset transferred and where material, the results of associates 
are modified to confirm to the Group’s accounting policies.

(h) 

Interest in joint arrangements

 A  joint  arrangement  is  a  contractual  arrangement  whereby 
the  Group  and  other  parties  undertake  an  economic  activity 
where  the  strategic  financial  and  operating  policy  decisions 
relating to the activities of the joint arrangement require the 
unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

 Where  Group  entity  undertakes  its  activities  under  joint 
arrangements as joint operations, the Group’s share of jointly 
controlled  assets  and  any  liabilities  incurred  jointly  with 
other  parties  are  recognised  in  its  financial  statements  and 
classified  according  to  their  nature.  Liabilities  and  expenses 
incurred directly in respect of interests in joint operations are 
accounted for on the accrual basis. Income from the sale or use 
of the Group’s share of the output of joint operations, and its 
share  of  joint  arrangements  expenses,  are  recognised  when 
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the 
transactions  will  flow  to  the  Group  and  their  amount  can  be 
measured reliably.

 Joint arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate 
entity in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as 
joint ventures. The Group reports its interests in joint ventures 
using the equity method of accounting whereby an interest in 
joint venture is initially recorded at cost and adjusted thereafter 
for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets 
of the joint venture. The consolidated statement of profit and 
loss  reflects  the  Group’s  share  of  the  results  of  operations  of 
the joint venture.

 When  the  Group’s  share  of  losses  exceeds  the  carrying  value 
of  the  joint  venture,  the  carrying  value  is  reduced  to  nil  and 
recognition  of  further  losses  is  discontinued,  except  to  the 

extent  that  the  Group  has  incurred  obligations  in  respect  of 
the joint venture.

in  the  joint  venture,  unrealised 

 Unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  the  Group  and 
its  joint  ventures  are  eliminated  to  the  extent  of  the  Group’s 
interest 
losses  are  also 
eliminated  unless  the  transaction  provides  evidence  of  an 
impairment  of  the  asset  transferred  and  where  material,  the 
results of joint ventures are modified to conform to the Group’s 
accounting policies.

(i)  Property, plant and equipment

 An item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an 
asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated 
with the item will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured 
reliably. This recognition principle is applied to costs incurred 
initially to acquire an item of property, plant and equipment and 
also to costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, 
or service it. All other repair and maintenance costs, including 
regular servicing, are recognised in the consolidated statement 
of profit and loss as incurred. When a replacement occurs, the 
carrying  value  of  the  replaced  part  is  de-recognised.  Where 
an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  comprises  major 
components  having  different  useful  lives,  these  components 
are accounted for as separate items.

 Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost or deemed cost 
applied on transition to Ind AS, less accumulated depreciation 
and impairment. Cost includes all direct costs and expenditures 
incurred  to  bring  the  asset  to  its  working  condition  and 
location for its intended use. Trial run expenses (net of revenue) 
are capitalised. Borrowing costs incurred during the period of 
construction is capitalised as part of cost of qualifying asset.

 The gain or loss arising on disposal of an item of property, plant 
and equipment is determined as the difference between sale 
proceeds and carrying value of such item, and is recognised in 
the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

(j)  Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources

 Expenditures  associated  with  search  for  specific  mineral 
resources are recognised as exploration and evaluation assets. 
The  following  expenditure  comprises  the  cost  of  exploration 
and evaluation assets:

•  obtaining  of  the  rights  to  explore  and  evaluate  mineral 
reserves  and  resources  including  costs  directly  related  to 
this acquisition

• 

researching and analysing existing exploration data

333

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

•  conducting 

geological 

studies, 

exploratory 

drilling and sampling

•  examining and testing extraction and treatment methods

•  compiling pre-feasibility and feasibility studies

•  activities in relation to evaluating the technical feasibility 
and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource.    

 Administration  and  other  overhead  costs  are  charged  to  the 
cost of exploration and evaluation assets only if directly related 
to an exploration and evaluation project.

 If a project does not prove viable, all irrecoverable exploration 
and  evaluation  expenditure  associated  with  the  project  net 
of  any  related  impairment  allowances  is  written  off  to  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 The  Group  measures  its  exploration  and  evaluation  assets 
at  cost  and  classifies  as  property,  plant  and  equipment  or 
intangible assets according to the nature of the assets acquired 
and applies the classification consistently. To the extent that a 
tangible asset is consumed in developing an intangible asset, 
the amount reflecting that consumption is capitalised as a part 
of the cost of the intangible asset.

 As  the  asset  is  not  available  for  use,  it  is  not  depreciated.  All 
exploration and evaluation assets are monitored for indications 
of impairment. An exploration and evaluation asset is no longer 
classified as such when the technical feasibility and commercial 
viability  of  extracting  a  mineral  resource  are  demonstrable 
and  the  development  of  the  deposit  is  sanctioned  by  the 
management.  The  carrying  value  of  such  exploration  and 
evaluation asset is reclassified to mining assets.

production and include:

for 

• 

sinking  shafts  and  underground  drifts  (often  called 
mine development)

•  making permanent excavations

•  developing passageways and rooms or galleries

•  building roads and tunnels and

•  advance removal of overburden and waste rock.

334

 Development  (or  construction)  also  includes  the  installation 
of infrastructure (e.g., roads, utilities and housing), machinery, 
equipment and facilities.

 Development expenditure is capitalised and presented as part of 
mining assets. No depreciation is charged on the development 
expenditure before the start of commercial production.

(l)  Provision for restoration and environmental costs

 The Group has liabilities related to restoration of soil and other 
related  works,  which  are  due  upon  the  closure  of  certain  of 
its mining sites.

 Such 
liabilities  are  estimated  case-by-case  based  on 
available  information,  taking  into  account  applicable  local 
legal  requirements.  The  estimation  is  made  using  existing 
technology,  at  current  prices,  and  discounted  using  a 
appropriate  discount  rate  where  the  effect  of  time  value  of 
money  is  material.  Future  restoration  and  environmental 
costs,  discounted  to  net  present  value,  are  capitalised  and 
the corresponding restoration liability is raised as soon as the 
obligation  to  incur  such  costs  arises.  Future  restoration  and 
environmental  costs  are  capitalised  in  property,  plant  and 
equipment or mining assets as appropriate and are depreciated 
over  the  life  of  the  related  asset.  The  effect  of  time  value  of 
money on the restoration and environmental costs liability is 
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

(m)  Intangible assets 

 Patents,  trademarks  and  software  costs  are  included  in  the 
consolidated  balance  sheet  as  intangible  assets  when  it  is 
probable that associated future economic benefits would flow 
to the Group. In this case they are measured initially at purchase 
cost  and  then  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their 
estimated useful lives. All other costs on patents, trademarks 
and  software  are  expensed  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
profit and loss as and when incurred.

 Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense 
in the period in which it is incurred. Costs incurred on individual 
development projects are recognised as intangible assets from 
the date when all of the following conditions are met:

(i) 

completion of the development is technically feasible.

(ii) 

 it  is  the  intention  to  complete  the  intangible  asset  and 
use or sell it.

(iii)  ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

(iv) 

 it is clear that the intangible asset will generate probable 
future economic benefits.

resources

intangible asset are available.

(vi)  it 

is  possible  to  reliably  measure  the  expenditure 
attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

 Recognition of costs as an asset is ceased when the project is 
complete and available for its intended use, or if these criteria 
are no longer applicable.

 Where development activities do not meet the conditions for 
recognition as an asset, any associated expenditure is treated 
as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

 Intangible  assets  acquired  in  a  business  combination  are 
identified and recognised separately from goodwill where they 
satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair values 
can be measured reliably. The cost of such intangible assets is 
their fair value at the acquisition date.

(n) 

  Depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and 
equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets 

 Depreciation or amortisation is provided so as to write off, on 
a  straight-line  basis,  the  cost/deemed  cost  of  property,  plant 
and  equipment  and  intangible  assets,  including  right-of-use 
assets  to  their  residual  value.  These  charges  are  commenced 
from the dates the assets are available for their intended use 
and  are  spread  over  their  estimated  useful  economic  lives 
or,  in  the  case  of  right-of-use  assets,  over  the  lease  period,  if 
shorter.  The  estimated  useful  lives  of  assets,  residual  values 
and  depreciation  method  are  reviewed  regularly  and,  when 
necessary, revised.

 Depreciation  on  assets  under  construction  commences  only 
when the assets are ready for their intended use.

 The estimated useful lives for the main categories of property, 
plant and equipment and other intangible assets are:

Freehold and long leasehold buildings
Roads
Plant and machinery
Furniture, fixture and office equipments
Vehicles and aircraft
Railway sidings
Assets covered under the Electricity Act (life
as prescribed under the Electricity Act)
Patents and trademarks
Product and process development costs

 Mining assets are amortised over the useful life of the mine or 
lease period whichever is lower.

 Major furnace relining expenses are depreciated over a period 
of 10 years (average expected life).

Freehold land is not depreciated.

 *  For  these  class  of  assets,  based  on  internal  assessment  and 
independent  technical  evaluation  carried  out  by  chartered 
engineers,  the  Company  and  some  of  its  subsidiaries  believe 
that the useful lives as given above best represent the period 
over  which  such  Company  expects  to  use  these  assets. 
Hence  the  useful  lives  for  these  assets  are  different  from  the 
useful  lives  as  prescribed  under  Part  C  of  Schedule  II  of  the 
Companies Act, 2013.

(o) 

Impairment

 At  each  balance  sheet  date,  the  Group  reviews  the  carrying 
value  of  its  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  intangible 
assets  to  determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  the 
carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable through 
continuing  use.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  recoverable 
amount  of  the  asset  is  reviewed  in  order  to  determine  the 
extent  of  impairment  loss,  if  any.  Where  the  asset  does  not 
generate  cash  flows  that  are  independent  from  other  assets, 
the  Group  estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash 
generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future 
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax 
discount  rate  that  reflects  current  market  assessments  of  the 
time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which 
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. An

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

impairment  loss  is  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement 
of  profit  and  loss  as  and  when  the  carrying  value  of  an  asset 
exceeds its recoverable amount.

 Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying 
value  of  the  asset  (or  cash  generating  unit)  is  increased  to 
the  revised  estimate  of  its  recoverable  amount,  so  that  the 
increased  carrying  value  does  not  exceed  the  carrying  value 
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  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss immediately.

(p)  Leases

  Ind  AS  116  “Leases”  replaces  Ind  AS  17  “Leases”  with  effect 
from April 1, 2019.

 The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the Group 
recognising  a  right-of-use  asset  and  related  lease  liability  in 
connection  with  all  former  operating  leases  except  for  those 
identified as low-value or having a remaining lease term of less 
than 12 months from the date of initial application.

approach,  with 

 The  new  Standard  has  been  applied  using  the  modified 
asset 
retrospective 
recognized  at  an  amount  equal  to  the  present  value  of  lease 
liability,  adjusted  by  the  amount  of  any  prepaid  or  accrued 
lease  payments  relating  to  those  leases.  Prior  periods  have 
not been restated.

right-of-use 

the 

 For  contracts  in  place  at  the  date  of  initial  application,  the 
Group has elected not to carry forward the definition of leases 
as per Ind AS 17 and has therefore, applied the definition of a 
lease as per Ind AS 116 to all such arrangements.

 Instead  of  performing  an  impairment  review  on  the  right-of-
use assets at the date of initial application, the Group has relied 
on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous 
immediately before the date of initial application of Ind AS 116.

 On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating 
leases  with  a  remaining  lease  term  of  less  than  12  months 
and  for  leases  of  low-value  assets  the  Group  has  applied  the 
optional exemptions to not recognise right-of-use assets but to 
account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the 
remaining lease term.

 For  those  leases  previously  classified  as  finance  leases,  the 
right-of-use asset and lease liability are measured at the date 

336

of initial application at the same amounts as under Ind AS 17 
“Leases” immediately before the date of initial application.

 Refer note 2(p) - Significant accounting policies – Leases in the 
Annual  Report  of  the  Company  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2019, Page 319 for the policy as per Ind AS 17 “Leases”.

The Group as lessee 

 The  Group  accounts  for  each  lease  component  within  the 
contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of 
the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to 
each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone 
price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone 
price  of  the  non-lease  components.  The  Group  recognises 
right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying 
asset  for  the  lease  term  at  the  lease  commencement  date. 
The  cost  of  the  right-of-use  asset  measured  at  inception 
comprises  of  the  amount  of  initial  measurement  of  the  lease 
liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date.

 Certain  lease  arrangements  include  options  to  extend  or 
terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. The right-
of-use assets and lease liabilities include these options when it 
is reasonably certain that such options would be exercised.

 The  right-of-use  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost 
less  any  accumulated  depreciation,  accumulated  impairment 
losses, if any, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease 
liability.  The  right-of-use  assets  are  depreciated  using  the 
straight-line  method  from  the  commencement  date  over  the 
shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset.

 Right-of-use  assets  are  tested  for 
impairment  whenever 
there  is  any  indication  that  their  carrying  amounts  may  not 
be  recoverable.  Impairment  loss,  if  any,  is  recognised  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 Lease  liability  is  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  lease 
payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the 
lease.  The  lease  payments  are  discounted  using  the  interest 
rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. 
If  that  rate  cannot  be  readily  determined,  the  Group  uses 
incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently 
remeasured  by  increasing  the  carrying  amount  to  reflect 
interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to 
reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying 
amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications. The 
Group recognises the amount of the remeasurement of lease 
liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where the 
carrying  amount  of  the  right-of-use  asset  is  reduced  to  zero 
and  there  is  a  further  reduction  in  the  measurement  of  the

lease  liability,  the  Group  recognises  any  remaining  amount 
of  the  remeasurement  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
profit and loss.

 Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of 
the lease liabilities are expensed to the consolidated statement 
of profit and loss in the period in which the events or conditions 
which trigger those payments occur.

 The  Group  accounts  for  sale  and  lease  back  transaction, 
recognising  right-of-use  assets  and  lease  liability,  measured 
in the same way as other right-of-use assets and lease liability. 
Gain  or  loss  on  the  sale  transaction  is  recognised  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss.

  Operating  lease  –  Rental  income  from  operating  leases  is 
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss on 
a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless 
another  systematic  basis  is  more  representative  of  the  time 
pattern  in  which  economic  benefits  from  the  leased  asset  is 
diminished.  Initial  direct  costs  incurred  in  negotiating  and 
arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying value 
of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term.

  Finance  lease  –  When  assets  are  leased  out  under  a  finance 
lease,  the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments  is 
recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross 
receivable and the present value of receivable is recognised as 
unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the 
term of the lease using the net investment method before tax, 
which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

(q)  Stripping costs

 The Group separates two different types of stripping costs that 
are incurred in surface mining activity:

•  developmental stripping costs and 

•  production stripping costs

 Developmental  stripping  costs  which  are  incurred  in  order 
to obtain access to quantities of mineral reserves that will be 
mined in future periods are capitalised as part of mining assets. 
Capitalisation of developmental stripping costs ends when the 
commercial production of the mineral reserves begins.

 A  mine  can  operate  several  open  pits  that  are  regarded  as 
separate  operations  for  the  purpose  of  mine  planning  and 
production.  In  this  case,  stripping  costs  are  accounted  for 
separately,  by  reference  to  the  ore  extracted  from  each 
separate pit. If, however, the pits are highly integrated for the 
purpose of mine planning and production, stripping costs are 
aggregated too.

 The  determination  of  whether  multiple  pit  mines  are 
considered separate or integrated operations depends on each 
mine’s  specific  circumstances.  The  following  factors  normally 
point towards the stripping costs for the individual pits being 
accounted for separately:

•  mining  of  the  second  and  subsequent  pits  is  conducted 
rather 
that  of 

the  first  pit, 

consecutively  with 
than concurrently

• 

• 

investment  decisions  are  made  to  develop 
separate 
each  pit,  rather  than  a  single  investment  decision  being 
made at the outset

the  pits  are  operated  as  separate  units  in  terms  of  mine 
planning  and  the  sequencing  of  overburden  and  ore 
mining, rather than as an integrated unit

•  expenditure  for  additional  infrastructure  to  support  the 

second and subsequent pits are relatively large

• 

the pits extract ore from separate and distinct ore bodies, 
rather than from a single ore body.

 The  relative  importance  of  each  factor  is  considered  by  the 
management to determine whether, the stripping costs should 
be attributed to the individual pit or to the combined output 
from the several pits.

 Production stripping costs are incurred to extract the ore in the 
form of inventories and/or to improve access to an additional 
component  of  an  ore  body  or  deeper  levels  of  material. 
Production  stripping  costs  are  accounted  for  as  inventories 
to the extent the benefit from production stripping activity is 
realised in the form of inventories.

 The  Group  recognises  a  stripping  activity  asset 
production phase if, and only if, all of the following are met:

in  the

it is probable that the future economic benefit (improved 
access  to  the  ore  body)  associated  with  the  stripping 
activity will flow to the Group

which access has been improved and

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

Financial assets at amortised cost 

• 

the costs relating to the improved access to that component 
can be measured reliably.

 Such  costs  are  presented  within  mining  assets.  After  initial 
recognition,  stripping  activity  assets  are  carried  at  cost/
deemed cost, less accumulated amortisation and impairment. 
The expected useful life of the identified component of the ore 
body is used to depreciate or amortise the stripping asset.

(r)  Financial instruments

 Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when 
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured 
at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to 
the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities 
(other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value 
through  profit  and  loss)  are  added  to  or  deducted  from  the 
fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or 
financial liability. The transaction costs directly attributable to 
the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair 
value  through  profit  and  loss  are  immediately  recognised  in 
the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

Effective interest method

 The  effective  interest  method  is  a  method  of  calculating  the 
amortised  cost  of  a  financial  instrument  and  of  allocating 
interest  income  or  expense  over  the  relevant  period.  The 
effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future 
cash  receipts  or  payments  through  the  expected  life  of  the 
financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

(I) 

Financial assets

Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances consist of:

  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  -  which  include  cash  on 
hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  banks  and  other  short-
term  deposits  which  are  readily  convertible  into  known 
amounts  of  cash,  are  subject  to  an  insignificant  risk  of 
change in value and have original maturities of less than 
one year. These balances with banks are unrestricted for 
withdrawal and usage.

 Other  bank  balances 
and  deposits  with  banks  that  are  restricted

include  balances

 Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost 
if these financial assets are held within a business model whose 
objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual 
cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give 
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets measured at fair value

 Financial  assets  are  measured  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income if such financial assets are held within 
a  business  model  whose  objective  is  to  hold  these  assets  in 
order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell these financial 
assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise 
on  specified  dates  to  cash  flows  that  are  solely  payments  of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 The  Group  in  respect  of  certain  equity  investments  (other 
than  in  associates  and  joint  ventures)  which  are  not  held  for 
trading  has  made  an  irrevocable  election  to  present  in  other 
comprehensive  income  subsequent  changes  in  the  fair  value 
of  such  equity  instruments.  Such  an  election  is  made  by  the 
Group on an instrument by instrument basis at the time of initial 
recognition  of  such  equity  investments.  These  investments 
are  held  for  medium  or  long-term  strategic  purpose.  The 
Group  has  chosen  to  designate  these  investments  in  equity 
instruments as fair value through other comprehensive income 
as the management believes this provides a more meaningful 
presentation  for  medium  or  long-term  strategic  investments, 
than  reflecting  changes  in  fair  value  immediately  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value 
through other comprehensive income are carried at fair value 
through profit and loss.

Interest income

 Interest  income  is  accrued  on  a  time  proportion  basis,  by 
reference  to  the  principal  outstanding  and  effective  interest 
rate applicable.

Dividend income

 Dividend  income  from  investments  is  recognised  when  the 
right to receive payment has been established.

Impairment of financial assets

 Loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  is  recognised  for 
financial  assets  measured  at  amortised  cost  and  fair  value 
through other comprehensive income.

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

 The  Group  recognises  life  time  expected  credit  losses  for  all 
trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

 For  financial  assets  (apart  from  trade  receivables  that  do  not 
constitute  a  financing  transaction)  whose  credit  risk  has  not 
significantly increased since initial recognition, loss allowance 
equal to twelve months expected credit losses is recognised. 
Loss  allowance  equal  to  the  lifetime  expected  credit  losses 
is  recognised  if  the  credit  risk  of  the  financial  asset  has 
significantly increased since initial recognition.

De-recognition of financial assets

  The  Group  de-recognises  a  financial  asset  only  when  the 
contractual  rights  to  the  cash  flows  from  the  asset  expire,  or 
it  transfers  the  financial  asset  and  substantially  all  risks  and 
rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

 If  the  Group  neither  transfers  nor  retains  substantially  all 
the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  and  continues  to  control 
the  transferred  asset,  the  Group  recognises  its  retained 
interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it 
may have to pay.

 If  the  Group  retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues 
to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a borrowing 
for the proceeds received.

(II)  Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

 Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group 
are  classified  according  to  the  substance  of  the  contractual 
arrangements  entered  into  and  the  definitions  of  a  financial 
liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

  An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual 
interest  in  the  assets  of  the  Group  after  deducting  all  of  its 
liabilities.  Equity  instruments  are  recorded  at  the  proceeds 
received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

 Trade  and  other  payables  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value, 
net  of  transaction  costs,  and  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method where 
the time value of money is significant.

 Interest  bearing  bank  loans,  overdrafts  and  issued  debt  are 
initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any 
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and 
the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over 
the  term  of  the  borrowings  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
profit and loss.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

  The  Group  derecognises  financial  liabilities  when,  and  only 
when,  the  Group’s  obligations  are  discharged,  cancelled 
or they expire.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

 In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Group  uses  certain 
derivative  financial 
instruments  to  reduce  business  risks 
which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange, base metal 
prices  and  interest  rate  fluctuations.  The  instruments  are 
confined  principally  to  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts, 
forward  rate  agreements,  cross  currency  swaps,  interest  rate 
swaps and collar. The instruments are employed as hedges of 
transactions included in the financial statements or for highly 
probable forecast transactions/firm contractual commitments. 
These  derivatives  contracts  do  not  generally  extend  beyond 
six  months,  except  for  certain  currency  swaps  and  interest 
rate derivatives.

 Derivatives  are  initially  accounted  for  and  measured  at  fair 
value from the date the derivative contract is entered into and 
are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of 
each reporting period.

 The  Group  adopts  hedge  accounting  for  forward  foreign 
exchange,  interest  rate  and  commodity  contracts  wherever 
possible.  At  the  inception  of  each  hedge,  there  is  a  formal, 
documented  designation  of  the  hedging  relationship.  This 
documentation includes, inter alia, items such as identification 
of  the  hedged  item  and  transaction  and  nature  of  the  risk 
being  hedged.  At  inception  each  hedge  is  expected  to  be 
highly effective in achieving an offset of changes in fair value 
or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The effectiveness 
of  hedge  instruments  to  reduce  the  risk  associated  with  the 
exposure  being  hedged  is  assessed  and  measured  at  the 
inception  and  on  an  ongoing  basis.  The  ineffective  portion 
of  designated  hedges  is  recognised  immediately  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss.

When hedge accounting is applied:

• 

for  fair  value  hedges  of  recognised  assets  and  liabilities, 
changes  in  fair  value  of  the  hedged  assets  and  liabilities 

339

Defined benefit plans

• 

attributable to the risk being hedged, are recognised in the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss and compensate 
for the effective portion of symmetrical changes in the fair 
value of the derivatives. 

for cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change 
in the fair value of the derivative is recognised directly in 
other  comprehensive  income  and  the  ineffective  portion 
is  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit 
and loss. If the cash flow hedge of a firm commitment or 
forecasted transaction results in the recognition of a non-
financial  asset  or  liability,  then,  at  the  time  the  asset  or 
liability is recognised, the associated gains or losses on the 
derivative  that  had  previously  been  recognised  in  equity 
are  included  in  the  initial  measurement  of  the  asset  or 
liability.  For  hedges  that  do  not  result  in  the  recognition 
of a non-financial asset or a liability, amounts deferred in 
equity  are  recognised  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
profit  and  loss  in  the  same  period  in  which  the  hedged 
item affects the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 In  cases  where  hedge  accounting  is  not  applied,  changes  in 
the fair value of derivatives are recognised in the consolidated 
statement of profit and loss as and when they arise.

  Hedge  accounting 
is  discontinued  when  the  hedging 
instrument  expires  or  is  sold,  terminated,  or  exercised,  or 
no  longer  qualifies  for  hedge  accounting.  At  that  time,  any 
cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised 
in equity is retained in equity until the forecasted transaction 
occurs.  If  a  hedged  transaction  is  no  longer  expected  to 
occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is 
transferred  to  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  and  loss 
for the period.

(s)  Employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

  Contributions under defined contribution plans are recognised 
as  an  expense  for  the  period  in  which  the  employee  has 
rendered  the  service.  Payments  made  to  state  managed 
retirement  benefit  schemes  are  dealt  with  as  payments  to 
defined  contribution  schemes  where  the  Group’s  obligations 
under the schemes are equivalent to those arising in a defined 
contribution retirement benefit scheme.

340

 For defined benefit retirement schemes, the cost of providing 
benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, 
with  actuarial  valuation  being  carried  out  at  each  year-end 
balance sheet date. Remeasurement gains and losses of the net 
defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognised immediately in 
other comprehensive income. The service cost and net interest 
on the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognised as an 
expense within employee costs.

 Past  service  cost  is  recognised  as  an  expense  when  the  plan 
amendment  or  curtailment  occurs  or  when  any  related 
restructuring  costs  or  termination  benefits  are  recognised, 
whichever is earlier.

recognised 

in 

Compensated absences

 Compensated  absences  which  are  not  expected  to  occur 
within twelve months after the end of the period in which the 
employee renders the related service are recognised based on 
actuarial valuation at the present value of the obligation as on 
the reporting date.

(t) 

Inventories

 Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable 
value. Cost is ascertained on a weighted average basis. Costs 
comprise direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour 
costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing 
the  inventories  to  their  present  location  and  condition.  Net 
realisable  value  is  the  price  at  which  the  inventories  can  be 
realised  in  the  normal  course  of  business  after  allowing  for 
the  cost  of  conversion  from  their  existing  state  to  a  finished 
condition and for the cost of marketing, selling and distribution.

 Provisions  are  made  to  cover  slow  moving  and  obsolete 
items  based  on  historical  experience  of  utilisation  on  a 
product  category  basis,  which  involves  individual  businesses 
considering their product lines and market conditions.

(u)  Provisions

 Provisions  are  recognised  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheet 
when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) 
as  a  result  of  a  past  event,  which  is  expected  to  result  in  an 
outflow  of  resources  embodying  economic  benefits  which 
can  be  reliably  estimated.  Each  provision  is  based  on  the

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

best  estimate  of  the  expenditure  required  to  settle  the 
present obligation at the balance sheet date. Where the time 
value  of  money  is  material,  provisions  are  measured  on  a 
discounted basis.

 Constructive  obligation  is  an  obligation  that  derives  from  an 
entity’s actions where:

(i) 

 by  an  established  pattern  of  past  practice,  published 
policies  or  a  sufficiently  specific  current  statement,  the 
entity  has  indicated  to  other  parties  that  it  will  accept 
certain responsibilities and

(ii)  

 as a result, the entity has created a valid expectation on 
the part of those other parties that it will discharge such 
responsibilities.

(v)  Onerous contracts

 A  provision  for  onerous  contracts  is  recognised  when  the 
expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract 
are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations 
under the contract. The provision is measured at the present 
value  of  the  lower  of  the  expected  cost  of  terminating  the 
contract  and  the  expected  net  cost  of  continuing  with 
the  contract.  Before  a  provision  is  established,  the  Group 
recognises  any  impairment  loss  on  the  assets  associated 
with that contract.

(w)  Government grants

 Government  grants  are  recognised  at  its  fair  value,  where 
there  is  a  reasonable  assurance  that  such  grants  will  be 
received  and  compliance  with  the  conditions  attached 
therewith have been met.

 Government grants related to expenditure on property, plant 
and equipment are credited to the consolidated statement of 
profit and loss over the useful lives of qualifying assets or other 
systematic basis representative of the pattern of fulfilment of 
obligations associated with the grant received. Grants received 
less amounts credited to the consolidated statement of profit 
and loss at the reporting date are included in the consolidated 
balance sheet as deferred income.

(x) 

 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued 
operations

 Non-current  assets  and  disposal  groups  classified  as  held  for 
sale are measured at the lower of their carrying value and fair 
value less costs to sell.

 Assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their 
carrying  value  will  be  recovered  through  a  sale  transaction 
rather than through continuing use. This condition is only met 
when  the  sale  is  highly  probable  and  the  asset,  or  disposal 
group, is available for immediate sale in its present condition 
and is marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation 
to its current fair value. The Group must also be committed to 
the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as 
a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

 Where  a  disposal  group  represents  a  separate  major  line  of 
business  or  geographical  area  of  operations,  or  is  part  of  a 
single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of 
business or geographical area of operations, then it is treated 
as  a  discontinued  operation.  The  post-tax  profit  or  loss  of 
the  discontinued  operation  together  with  the  gain  or  loss 
recognised  on  its  disposal  are  disclosed  as  a  single  amount 
in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, with all prior 
periods being presented on this basis.

(y) 

Income taxes

 Tax  expense  for  the  year  comprises  of  current  and  deferred 
tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the 
year.  Taxable  profit  differs  from  net  profit  as  reported  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss because it excludes 
items  of  income  or  expense  that  are  taxable  or  deductible 
in  other  years  and  it  further  excludes  items  that  are  never 
taxable  or  deductible.  The  Group’s  liability  for  current  tax  is 
calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted in countries where the Company and 
its subsidiaries operate by the end of the reporting period.

 Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on 
differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities 
in  the  financial  statements  and  the  corresponding  tax  bases 
used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for 
using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities 
are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. 
In contrast, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent 
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available 
against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

 Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  recognised  on  taxable  temporary 
differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures 
and associates, 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.

 The carrying value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end 
of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no 

341

2.  Significant accounting policies (Contd.)

longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available 
to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

 Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to 
apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is 
realised  based  on  the  tax  rates  and  tax  laws  that  have  been 
enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting 
period.  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  the 
reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying value of its 
assets and liabilities.

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset to the extent that 
they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority and they 
are  in  the  same  taxable  entity,  or  a  Group  of  taxable  entities 
where the tax losses of one entity are used to offset the taxable 
profits  of  another  and  there  are  legally  enforceable  rights 
to  set  off  current  tax  assets  and  current  tax  liabilities  within 
that jurisdiction.

 Current  and  deferred  tax  are  recognised  as  an  expense  or 
income in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, except 
when they relate to items credited or debited either in other 
comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity,  in  which  case 
the  tax  is  also  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  or 
directly in equity.

 Deferred  tax  assets  include  Minimum  Alternate  Tax  (MAT) 
paid  in  accordance  with  the  tax  laws  in  India,  which  is  likely 
to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of 
set off against future income tax liability. MAT is recognised as 
deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet when the 
asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future 
economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

(z)  Revenue

 The  Group  manufactures  and  sells  a 
and other products

range  of  steel 

Sale of products

 Revenue from sale of products is recognised when control of 
the  products  has  transferred,  being  when  the  products  are 
delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products 
have been shipped or delivered to the specific location as the 
case may be, the risk of loss has been transferred, and either 
the  customer  has  accepted  the  products  in  accordance  with 
the  sales  contract,  or  the  Group  has  objective  evidence  that 

all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Sale of products 
include related ancillary services, if any.

 Goods  are  often  sold  with  volume  discounts  based  on 
aggregate  sales  over  a  12  months  period.  Revenue  from 
these  sales  is  recognised  based  on  the  price  specified  in  the 
contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated 
experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, 
using the most likely method, and revenue is only recognised 
to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal 
will  not  occur.  A  liability  is  recognised  for  expected  volume 
discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until 
the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  No  element  of  financing  is 
deemed present as the sales are generally made with a credit 
term of 30-90 days, which is consistent with market practice. 
Any obligation to provide a refund is recognised as a provision. 
A  receivable  is  recognised  when  the  goods  are  delivered  as 
this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional 
because  only  the  passage  of  time  is  required  before  the 
payment is due.

 The  Group  does  not  have  any  contracts  where  the  period 
between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the 
customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a 
consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction 
prices for the time value of money.

Sale of power

 Revenue  from  sale  of  power  is  recognised  when  the  services 
are  provided  to  the  customer  based  on  approved  tariff  rates 
established  by  the  respective  regulatory  authorities.  The 
Group doesn’t recognise revenue and an asset for cost incurred 
in the past that will be recovered.

(aa) Foreign currency transactions and translation

  The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group  are 
presented  in  Indian  Rupee  (“₹”),  which  is  the  functional 
currency  of  the  Company  and  the  presentation  currency  for 
the consolidated financial statements.

 In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions 
in  currencies  other  than  the  entity’s  functional  currency  are 
recorded  at  the  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  on  the  date  of 
the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary 
items  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  re-translated  at 
the  rates  prevailing  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  Non-
monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in 
foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing on 
the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary

items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign 
currency are not translated.

 Exchange differences arising on translation of long-term foreign 
currency  monetary  items  recognised  in  the  consolidated 
financial  statements  before  the  beginning  of  the  first  Ind  AS 
financial  reporting  period  in  respect  of  which  the  Group  has 
elected to recognise such exchange differences in equity or as 
part  of  cost  of  assets  as  allowed  under  Ind  As  101-“First-time 
adoption  of  Indian  Accounting  Standards”  are  recognised 
directly in equity or added/deducted to/from the cost of assets 
as  the  case  may  be.  Such  exchange  differences  recognised 
in  equity  or  as  part  of  cost  of  assets  is  recognised  in  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis.

 Exchange differences arising on the retranslation or settlement 
of  other  monetary  items  are  included  in  the  consolidated 
statement of profit and loss for the period.

 For  the  purpose  of  presenting  the  consolidated  financial 
statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign 
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are expressed in “₹” 
using  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the  end  of  the  reporting 
period.  Income  and  expense  items  are  translated  at  the 
average  exchange  rates  for  the  period.  Exchange  differences 
arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income 
and  accumulated  in  a  separate  component  of  equity.  On 
the  disposal  of  a  foreign  operation,  all  of  the  accumulated 
exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable 
to the Company are reclassified to the consolidated statement 
of profit and loss.

 Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition 
of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

(ab) Borrowing costs

 Borrowings  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition, 
construction  or  production  of  qualifying  assets,  which  are 
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get 
ready  for  their  intended  use  or  sale,  are  added  to  the  cost  of 
those  assets,  until  such  time  as  the  assets  are  substantially 
ready for the intended use or sale.

 Investment income earned on temporary investment of specific 
borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is 
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 Discounts  or  premiums  and  expenses  on  the  issue  of  debt 
securities are amortised over the term of the related securities 
and  included  within  borrowing  costs.  Premiums  payable  on 
early  redemptions  of  debt  securities,  in  lieu  of  future  finance 
costs, are recognised as borrowing costs.

 All  other  borrowing  costs  are  recognized  as  expenses  in  the 
period in which it is incurred.

(ac)   Earnings per share

 Basic  earnings  per  share 
is  computed  by  dividing  the 
consolidated  profit  or  loss  for  the  year  attributable  to  equity 
holders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding 
during the year. Partly paid up shares are included as fully paid 
equivalents according to the fraction paid up.

 Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  computed  using  the  weighted 
average number of shares and dilutive potential shares except 
where the result would be anti-dilutive.

(ad)  Recent accounting pronouncements

 Amendment to Ind AS 12 “Income Tax” - Insertion of 
Appendix C, “Uncertainty over Income tax treatments”

  The amendment intends to bring clarity to the accounting for 
uncertainties  on  income  tax  treatments  that  have  yet  to  be 
accepted by tax authorities, and to reflect it in the measurement 
of current and deferred taxes.

 The  Group  has  applied  the  amendments  prospectively  for 
annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  April  1,  2019. 
There is no material impact on the Group due to the application 
of above amendment.

Amendment to Ind AS 23 “Borrowing Costs”

 The amendment clarifies that if any specific borrowing remains 
outstanding  after  the  related  asset  is  ready  for  its  intended 
use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an 
entity  borrows  generally  when  calculating  the  capitalization 
rate on general borrowings.

 The  Group  has  applied  the  amendments  prospectively  for 
annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  April  1,  2019. 
There is no material impact on the Group due to the application 
of above amendment.

 There  is  no  new  standard  or  amendment  to  the  existing 
standards  which  would  be  effective  for  annual  periods 
beginning on or after April 1, 2020.

 ₹241.00 crore (2018-19: ₹ 206.01 crore) of borrowing costs have been capitalised during the year on qualifying assets under construction. 
The capitalisation rate ranges between 6.07% to 9.34% (2018-19: 7.00% to 9.80%).

 Rupee liability has increased by ₹129.42 crore (2018-19: ₹ 108.32 crore) arising out of retranslation of the value of long-term foreign 
currency loans and liabilities for procurement of property, plant and equipment, generally plant and machinery. This increase has been 
adjusted against the carrying cost of assets and has been depreciated over their remaining useful life. The depreciation for the current 
year is higher by ₹4.32 crore (2018-19: ₹ 3.57 crore) on account of this adjustment.

 During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Group considered indicators of impairment for its cash generating units ('CGUs') within the 
steel, mining and other business operations, such as decline in operational performance, changes in the outlook of future profitability 
or weaker market conditions, among other potential indicators. In respect of CGUs where indicators of impairment were identified, the 
Group estimated the recoverable amount based on the value in use.

 The outcome of the test as on March 31, 2020 resulted in the Group recognising a net impairment charge of ₹3,024.81 crore (2018-19: 
₹118.08  crore)  in  respect  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  including  capital  work-in-progress.  The  impairment  charge  is  contained 
within the Indian, European and Overseas mining businesses.

 Within the Indian steel business operations, the Group has recognized a net impairment reversal of ₹45.97 crore (2018-19: impairment 
charge  ₹8.54  crore).  The  impairment  reversed/recognized  is  included  within  other  expenses  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
profit and loss.

 Within the Indian other business operations, the Group has recognised an impairment charge of ₹168.54 crore (2018-19: ₹2.86 crore). 
The impairment recognised during the year primarily relates to the business of developing infrastructure and related facilities in an 
industrial park and leasing thereof. The value in use was computed using risk adjusted cash flow forecasts based on the most recently 
approved financial budgets and strategic forecasts which cover a period of 5 years and future projections taking the analysis out to 
the period over which the Group expects to use the underlying assets. Key assumptions for the value in use computation are those 
regarding land area developed and subleased over the period, lease rentals/premium from subleasing and a discount rate of 12.10% p.a. 
The impairment recognised is included within exceptional items in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

[Item No. I(a), Page 322]

 Within the European business, wherever triggers existed, the assumptions used for impairment test of property, plant and equipment 
(including capital work in progress) as at March 31, 2020 were consistent with that used for the annual impairment test of goodwill as 
at March 31, 2020. The outcome of the test indicated that, using a discount rate of 8.00% p.a. (2018-19: 8.20% p.a.), property, plant and 
equipment (including capital work in progress) in the European business had a value in use which was lower than its carrying value. 
Accordingly, an impairment charge of ₹2,224.61 crore (2018-19: ₹106.68 crore) has been recognised. The impairment primarily relates 
to the Strip Products UK business. Out of the impairment recognised, ₹2,187.79 crore is included within exceptional items and ₹36.82 
crore is included within other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 Within the overseas mining business, the Group has recognised an impairment charge ₹677.63 crore in respect of mining operations 
carried out in Canada. The value in use was computed using cash flow forecasts based on the most recently approved financial budgets 
which cover a period of 5 years and future projections taking the analysis out to the period over which the Group has the right to use 
the underlying assets discounted using a discount rate of 10.00% p.a. The impairment recognised is included within exceptional items 
in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

 The Group has conducted sensitivity analysis on the impairment tests of the carrying value in respect of Group's CGUs and property, 
plant and equipment. The management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions used in the value in 
use calculations would cause the carrying value of property, plant and equipment in any CGU to materially exceed its value in use, other 
than in respect of the remaining property, plant and equipment at the Strip Products UK business which had a carrying value as at March 
31, 2020 of ₹2,338.38 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹3,358.46 crore) and the overseas Canadian mining business which had a carrying value 
as at March 31, 2020 of ₹6,448.75 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹6,175.14 crore). In relation to the Strip Products UK business, the value in use 
is dependent on an improvement to UK steel market margins, the implementation of a business transformation plan and assumptions 
regarding the level of future capital expenditure. For the mining operations in Canada, the value in use is dependent on commodity 
prices and realisation of cost savings in operation. A reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions would increase the 
likelihood of impairment losses in the future.

4.  Leases 

 The  Group’s  significant  leasing  arrangements  relate  to  assets  specifically  set  up  for  dedicated  use  by  the  Group  under  long-term 
arrangements and time charter of vessels. Other leases include land, office space, equipment, vehicles and some IT equipment.

 Lease  terms  are  negotiated  on  an  individual  basis  and  contain  a  wide  range  of  different  terms  and  conditions.  Each  lease  generally 
imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Group to sublet the asset to another party, the right-of-use asset can 
only be used by the Group. Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases. These are 
used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group’s operations. Majority of the extension and 
termination options held are exercisable based on mutual agreement of the Group and the respective lessor.

 With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet as a right-
of- use asset and a lease liability. Payments made under such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 Variable lease payments which do not depend on an index or a rate (such as lease payments based on a percentage of sales) are excluded 
from the initial measurement of the lease liability and asset.

 For leases recognized under long-term arrangements involving use of a dedicated asset, non-lease components are excluded based on 
the underlying contractual terms and conditions. A change in the allocation assumptions may have an impact on the measurement of 
lease liabilities and the related right-of-use assets.

On adoption of Ind AS 116 “Leases” with effect from April 1, 2019, the Group elected to apply the modified retrospective transition method.

 Accordingly, on transition, right-of-use assets of ₹2,940.10 crore were measured at an amount equal to lease liabilities. In addition, an 
amount of ₹1,915.66 (net of accumulated amortisation) crore in respect of right of use of land was re-classified from other assets to right-
of-use assets. The right-of-use assets was reduced by ₹76.24 crore on account of provisions held in respect of onerous lease contracts 
and by ₹149.98 crore for sub leases recognised on transition.

 The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised under Ind AS 116 “Leases” was in the range of 
4.60% to 12.63%.

The reconciliation of total operating lease commitments as at March 31, 2019 to the lease liabilities recognised on transition is as below:

(i) 

 The carrying value of goodwill predominantly relates to the goodwill that arose on the acquisition of erstwhile Corus Group Plc. and has 
been tested in both periods against the recoverable amount of Strip Products Mainland Europe cash generating unit (CGU) by the Group. 
This goodwill relates to expected synergies from combining Corus’ activities with those of the Group and to assets, which could not be 
recognised as separately identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if there are any 
indications that the goodwill may be impaired.

 The recoverable amount of Strip Products Mainland Europe CGU has been determined from a value in use calculation. The calculation uses 
cash flow forecasts based on the most recently approved financial budgets and strategic forecasts which cover a period of three years 
and future projections taking the analysis out to 15 years, which equates to the remaining economic life of the assets. Key assumptions 
for the value in use calculation are those regarding expected changes to selling prices and raw material costs, steel demand in European 
Union, exchange rates, business disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and a discount rate of 8.00% p.a. (March 31, 2019: 8.20% 
p.a.). Changes in selling prices, raw material costs, exchange rates and steel demand in European Union are based on expectations of 
future changes in the steel market based on external market sources. A Nil (March 31, 2019: Nil) growth rate is used to extrapolate the 
cash flow projections beyond the three-year period of the financial budgets to 15 years. The pre-tax discount rate is derived from the 
Tata Steel Europe weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and the WACCs of its main European steel competitors. The outcome of the 
Group’s goodwill impairment test as at March 31, 2020 for the Strip Products Mainland Europe CGU resulted in no impairment of goodwill 
(2018-19: Nil).

 The management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions used in the value in use calculation would 
cause the carrying value of the CGU to materially exceed its value in use.

(ii)  

 The Group has conducted an impairment assessment to test the recoverability of the carrying value of its goodwill with respect to one 
of its Indian subsidiaries, representing a single cash generating unit, engaged in the business of generation and supply of power. The 
recoverable amount of the CGU related to such goodwill have been derived from value in use calculations. The calculation uses cash 
flow forecasts based on the most recently approved financial budgets and future projections for 23 years. Key assumptions for the value 
in use calculation are forecasted power tariff as per the power purchase agreement net of operational and maintenance charges and 
a discount rate of 12.10% p.a. (March 31, 2019: 12.10% p.a.) A Nil (March 31, 2019: Nil) growth rate is used to extrapolate the cash flow 
projections beyond five-year period up to 23 years. The pre-tax discount rate is derived from the Company’s weighted average cost 
of capital. The outcome of the Group’s goodwill impairment test as at March 31, 2020 has resulted in an impairment of ₹70.00 crore 
(2018-19: Nil), which is recognised within exceptional items in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

[Item No. I(k) and V(e), Pages 322 and 323]

A. 

Income tax expenses/(benefit)

Indian  companies  are  subject  to  income  tax  in  India  on  the  basis  of  their  standalone  financial  statements.  Indian  companies  can  claim 
tax  exemptions/deductions  under  specific  sections  of  the  Income-tax  Act,  1961  subject  to  fulfilment  of  prescribed  conditions  as  may  be 
applicable. As per the Income-tax Act 1961, companies are liable to pay income tax based on the higher of regular income tax payable or the 
amount payable based on the provisions applicable for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). MAT paid in excess of regular income tax during a year 
can be carried forward for a period of fifteen years and can be offset against future tax liabilities arising from regular income tax.

Section 115BAA has been inserted in the Income Tax Act, 1961 vide Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 (subsequently enacted on 
December 11, 2019 as The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019) which provides a domestic company with an irrevocable option to pay tax 
at a lower rate of 22% (effective rate of 25.168%) for any previous year relevant to the assessment year beginning on or after April 1, 2020. The 
lower rate shall be applicable subject to certain conditions, including that the total income should be computed without claiming specific 
deductions or exemptions. MAT would be inapplicable to companies opting to apply the lower tax rate.

Indian Companies can carry forward business losses for a maximum period of eight assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment 
year to which the loss pertains. Unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

Apart from India, major tax jurisdictions for the Group include Singapore, United Kingdom and Netherlands. The number of years that are 
subject to tax assessments varies depending on the tax jurisdiction.

The reconciliation of estimated income tax to income tax expense is as below: 

Profit/(loss) before tax

Income tax expense at tax rates applicable to individual entities 
(a)  Tax on income at different rates 
(b)   Additional tax benefit for capital investment including research and development expenditures 
(c)   Income exempt from tax/items not deductible
(d)  Deferred tax assets not recognised because realisation is not probable

expected to reverse in future periods based on the revised applicable tax rate by the Company and some of its Indian subsidiaries as per 
option permitted under new tax rate regime. 

 During the year ended March 31, 2019, deferred tax balances were remeasured following a reduction in corporate income tax rate within 
European operations.

 Deferred  tax  assets,  have  been  recognised  based  on  an  evaluation  of  whether  it  is  probable  that  taxable  profits  will  be  earned  in 
future  accounting  periods  considering  all  the  available  evidences,  including  approved  budgets  and  forecasts  by  the  Board  of  the 
respective entities.

(iii)  

 Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of tax losses of ₹49,698.56 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹45,310.97 crore) as its 
recovery is not considered probable in the foreseeable future. Such losses primarily relate to the Group’s European operations.

which deferred tax liability has not been recognised is ₹7,201.13 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹6,642.93 crore). No liability has been recognised 
in respect of such difference because the Group is in a position to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference and it is 
probable that such difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

In  determining  allowance  for  credit  losses  of  trade  receivables,  the  Group  has  used  the  practical  expedient  by  computing  the  expected 
credit loss allowance based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted 
for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the 
provision matrix.

(i)  Movement in allowance for credit losses of receivables is as below:

Balance at the beginning of the year
Charge/(release) during the year
Utilised during the year 
Addition relating to acquisitions
Disposal of group undertakings
Classified as held for sale
Other reclassifications
Exchange differences on consolidation

[Item No. III and VII, Pages 322 and 323] 

(i) 

  On January 28, 2019, the Group entered into definitive agreements with HBIS Group Co. Ltd. ('HBIS') to divest its entire equity stake in 
NatSteel Holdings Pte. Ltd. ('NSH') and Tata Steel (Thailand) Public Company Ltd. ('TSTH'). The said definitive agreements were not extended 
on account of buyer’s inability to obtain requisite regulatory approval.

 As on March 31, 2020, active discussions and engagement with other potential buyers demonstrate that the management of the Group is 
committed to sell the disposal group and there is an active programme for completing the sale.

 In accordance with Ind AS 105, “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”, the assets and liabilities of businesses 
forming part of the disposal group have been classified as held for sale.

The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as on reporting date are set out below:

value  of  ₹10  per  share  represent  the  shares  underlying  GDRs

(ii) 

(iii) 

B. 

(i) 

 In respect of every Ordinary Share (whether fully paid or partly 
paid), voting right and dividend shall be in the same proportion 
as the capital paid up on such Ordinary Share bears to the total 
paid up Ordinary Capital of the Company.

 The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to 
the approval of the Shareholders in the ensuing Annual General 
Meeting, except in case of interim dividend.

 In the event of liquidation, the Shareholders of Ordinary Shares 
are  eligible  to  receive  the  remaining  assets  of  the  Company 
after  distribution  of  all  preferential  amounts,  in  proportion  to 
their shareholding.

‘A’ Ordinary Shares of `10 each

(a) 

 The holders of ‘A’ Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to such 
rights of voting and/or dividend and such other rights as per 
the terms of the issue of such shares, provided always that:

- 

- 

 in  the  case  where  a  resolution  is  put  to  vote  on  a 
poll, such differential voting entitlement (excluding 
fractions,  if  any)  will  be  applicable  to  holders  of  ‘A’ 
Ordinary Shares.

meeting  and  is  to  be  decided  on  a  show  of  hands, 
the holders of ‘A’ Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to 
the same number of votes as available to holders of

of  the  issue.  Different  series  of  ‘A’  Ordinary  Shares  may  carry

i.e. 
Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (CRPS) of ₹ 100 per 
share  and  Cumulative  Convertible  Preference  Shares  (CCPS)  of

fixed preferential dividend from the date of allotment, at a rate as 
may be determined by the Board at the time of the issue, on the 
capital for the time being paid up or credited as paid up thereon.

 Such  shares  shall  rank  for  capital  and  dividend  (including  all 
dividend undeclared upto the commencement of winding up) 
and  for  repayment  of  capital  in  a  winding  up,  pari  passu  inter 
se  and  in  priority  to  the  Ordinary  Shares  of  the  Company,  but 
shall not confer any further or other right to participate either 
in profits or assets. However, in case of CCPS, such preferential 
rights  shall  automatically  cease  on  conversion  of  these  shares 
into Ordinary Shares.

 The  holders  of  such  shares  shall  have  the  right  to  receive  all 
notices of general meetings of the Company but shall not confer 
on the holders thereof the right to vote at any meetings of the 
Company save to the extent and in the manner provided in the 
Companies Act, 1956, or any re-enactment thereof.

 CCPS shall be converted into Ordinary Shares as per the terms, 
determined  by  the  Board  at  the  time  of  issue;  as  and  when

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii)  

 Non-current  and  current  provision  for  employee  benefits  include  provision  for  leave  salaries  ₹1,317.48  crore  (March  31,  2019: 
₹1,127.69 crore) and provision for early separation, disability and other long term employee benefits ₹1,735.39 crore (March 31, 2019: 
₹1,591.55 crore).

 As per the leave policy of the Company and its Indian subsidiaries, an employee is entitled to be paid the accumulated leave balance on 
separation. The Company and its Indian subsidiaries present provision for leave salaries as current and non-current based on actuarial 
valuation considering estimates of availment of leave, separation of employee, etc.

 Insurance provisions currently held by Tata Steel Europe, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, cover its historical liability 
risks, including those covered by its captive insurance company, Crucible Insurance Company Limited, in respect of its retrospective 
hearing  impairment  policy  and  those  for  which  it  is  now  responsible  for  under  its  current  insurance  arrangements.  The  provisions 
include  a  suitable  amount  in  respect  of  its  known  outstanding  claims  and  an  appropriate  amount  in  respect  of  liabilities  that  have 
been incurred but not yet reported. The provisions are subject to regular review and are adjusted as appropriate. The value of the final 
insurance settlements is uncertain and so is the timing of the expenditure.

(iv)  

 Non-current and current other provisions primarily include:

(a) 

 provision  for  compensatory  afforestation,  mine  closure  and  rehabilitation  obligations  and  other  environmental  remediation 
obligations ₹1,438.86 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹1,046.50 crore). These amounts become payable upon closure of the mines/sites 
and are expected to be incurred over a period of 1 to 32 years.

39.  Employee benefits

A.  Defined contribution plans

The Group participates in a number of defined contribution plans on 
behalf of relevant personnel. Any expense recognised in relation to 
these schemes represents the value of contributions payable during 
the period by the Group at rates specified by the rules of those plans.
The  only  amounts  included  in  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  are 
those relating to the prior months contributions that were not due 
to be paid until after the end of the reporting period.

The  major  defined  contribution  plans  operated  by 
Group are as below:

the 

(a)  Provident fund and pension

 The  Company  and  its  Indian  subsidiaries  provide  provident 
fund  benefits  for  eligible  employees  as  per  applicable 
regulations  wherein  both  employees  and  the  Company/
Indian subsidiaries make monthly contributions at a specified 
percentage  of  the  eligible  employees’  salary.  Contributions 
under such schemes are made either to a provident fund set up 
as an irrevocable trust by the Company/Indian subsidiaries to 
manage the investments and distribute the amounts entitled 
to employees or to state managed funds.

 Benefits provided under plans wherein contributions are made 
to state managed funds and the Company/Indian subsidiaries 
do not have a future obligation to make good short fall if any, 
are treated as a defined contribution plan. 

(b)  Superannuation fund

 The  Company  and  some  of  its  Indian  subsidiaries  have 
a  superannuation  plan  for  the  benefit  of  its  employees. 
Employees  who  are  members  of  the  superannuation  plan 
are  entitled  to  benefits  depending  on  the  years  of  service 
and salary drawn.

 Separate 
irrevocable  trusts  are  generally  maintained  for 
employees  covered  and  entitled  to  benefits.  The  Company 
and its Indian subsidiaries contribute up to 15% of the eligible 
employees’ salary or ₹1,50,000, whichever is lower, to the trust 
every year. Such contributions are recognised as an expense as 
and  when  incurred.  The  Company  and  its  Indian  subsidiaries 
does not have any further obligations beyond this contribution.

 The contributions recognised as an expense in the consolidated 
statement of profit and loss during the year on account of the 
above  defined  contribution  plans  amounted  to  ₹1,419.38 
crore (2018-19: ₹1,369.81 crore).

B.  Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plans operated by the Group are as below:

(a)  Provident fund and pension

 Provident  fund  benefits  provided  under  plans  wherein 
contributions  are  made  to  an  irrevocable  trust  set  up  by  the 
Company/Indian subsidiaries to manage the investments and 
distribute  the  amounts  entitled  to  employees  are  treated  as 
a  defined  benefit  plan  as  the  Company/Indian  subsidiaries 
are obligated to provide the members a rate of return which 
should,  at  the  minimum,  meet  the  interest  rate  declared 
by  Government  administered  provident  fund.  A  part  of  the 
Company’s/Indian  subsidiaries’  contribution  is  transferred  to 
Government  administered  pension  fund.  The  contributions 
made by the Company/Indian subsidiaries and the shortfall of 
interest, if any, are recognised as an expense in the consolidated 
statement of profit and loss under employee benefits expense.

 In  accordance  with  an  actuarial  valuation  of  provident  fund 
liabilities  of  Company  and  its  Indian  subsidiaries  based  on 
guidance  issued  by  Actuarial  Society  of  India  and  based  on 
the assumptions as mentioned below, there is no deficiency in 
the  interest  cost  as  the  present  value  of  the  expected  future 
earnings of the fund is greater than the expected amount to 
be credited to the individual members based on the expected 
guaranteed  rate  of  interest  of  Government  administered 
provident fund.

Key assumptions used for actuarial valuation are as below:

As at 
March 31, 2020

Expected rate of return on 
investment

(b)  Retiring gratuity

 The  Company  and  its  Indian  subsidiaries  have  an  obligation 
towards  gratuity,  a  defined  benefit  retirement  plan  covering 
eligible employees. The plan provides for a lump-sum payment 
to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment 
or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 
15 to 30 days salary payable for each completed year of service. 
Vesting  occurs  upon  completion  of  five  years  of  service.  The 
Company and its Indian subsidiaries make annual contributions 
to gratuity funds established as trusts or insurance companies. 
The  Company  and  its  Indian  subsidiaries  accounts  for  the 
liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on an 
actuarial valuation.

(c)   Post-retirement medical benefits

 Under this unfunded scheme, employees of the Company and 
some  of  its  subsidiaries  receive  medical  benefits  subject  to 
certain limits on amounts of benefits, periods after retirement 
and types of benefits, depending on their grade and location 
at  the  time  of  retirement.  Employees  separated  from  the 
Company  and  its  subsidiaries  under  an  early  separation 
scheme, on medical grounds or due to permanent disablement 
are  also  covered  under  the  scheme.  The  Company  and  such 
liability  for  post-retirement 
subsidiaries  account  for  the 
medical scheme based on year-end actuarial valuation.

(d)  Tata Steel Europe’s pension plan

 Tata  Steel  Europe,  a  wholly  owned  indirect  subsidiary  of  the 
Company,  operates  a  number  of  defined  benefit  pension 
and  post-retirement  schemes.  The  benefits  offered  by  these 
schemes  are  largely  based  on  pensionable  pay  and  years  of 
service at retirement. With the exception of certain unfunded 
arrangements,  the  assets  of  these  schemes  are  held  in 
administered funds that are legally separated from Tata Steel 
Europe.  For  those  pension  schemes  set  up  under  a  trust,  the 
trustees are required by law to act in the best interests of the 
schemes  beneficiaries  in  accordance  with  the  scheme  rules 
and  relevant  pension  legislation.  The  trustees  are  generally 
responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets 
of the fund, after consulting with the sponsoring employer.

 Tata Steel Europe accounts for all pension and post-retirement 
defined  benefit  arrangements  using  Ind  AS  19  ‘Employee 
Benefits’, with independent actuaries being used to calculate 
the  costs,  assets  and  liabilities  to  be  recognised  in  relation 
to  these  schemes.  The  present  value  of  the  defined  benefit 
obligation, the current service cost and past service costs are 
calculated  by  these  actuaries  using  the  Projected  unit  credit 
method. However, the ongoing funding arrangements of each 
scheme,  in  place  to  meet  their  long-term  pension  liabilities, 
are  governed  by  the 
individual  scheme  documentation 
legislation.  The  accounting  and  disclosure 
and  national 
requirements  of  Ind  AS  19  "Employee  benefits"  do  not  affect 
these funding arrangements.

 The British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS) is the legacy defined 
benefit  pension  scheme  in  the  UK  and  is  closed  to  future 
accrual.  The  current  Scheme  is  the  successor  to  the  old  BSPS 
which, 
in  accordance  with  a  Regulated  Apportionment 
Arrangement (‘RAA’), entered a Pension Protection Fund (PPF) 
assessment period in March 2018. At that time approximately 

80,000  electing  members  of  the  BSPS,  out  of  a  total  of  more 
than  120,000,  were  transferred  to  the  new  Scheme  (which 
retains  the  title  ‘British  Steel  Pension  Scheme’).  The  BSPS  is 
sponsored by Tata Steel UK Limited (TSUK). Although TSUK has 
a legal obligation to fund any future deficit, a key condition of 
the  new  BSPS  going  forward  was  that  it  was  sufficiently  well 
funded  to  meet  the  scheme’s  modified  liabilities  on  a  self-
sufficiency basis with a buffer to cover residual risks. With the 
assets that it holds, the new scheme is therefore well positioned 
to  pay  benefits  securely  on  a  low  risk  basis  without  recourse 
to  TSUK.  This  risk  includes  economic  risks  (such  as  interest 
rate  risk  and  inflation  risk),  demographic  risks  (for  example 
members  living  longer  than  expected),  and  legal  risks  (for 
example  changes  in  legislation  that  may  increase  liabilities). 
TSUK has worked with the Trustee to develop and implement 
an Integrated Risk Management (‘IRM’) framework to manage 
these  risks.  The  framework  provides  ongoing  monitoring  of 
the  key  investment,  funding  and  covenant  risks  facing  the 
scheme  and  tracks  progress  against  the  scheme’s  journey 
plan and target. Measures taken by the Trustee to manage risk 
include the use of asset-liability matching techniques to reduce 
interest rate risk, and investment in assets that are expected to 
be correlated to future inflation in the longer term to mitigate 
inflation risk. In particular, the scheme’s investment policy has 
regard  for  the  maturity  and  nature  of  the  scheme’s  liabilities 
and seeks to match a large part of the scheme’s liabilities with 
secure  bonds,  whilst  achieving  a  higher  long-term  return  on 
a small proportion of equity and other investments. However, 
the  scheme’s  interest  rate  risk  is  hedged  on  a  long-term 
funding basis linked to gilts whereas AA corporate bonds are 
implicit in the Ind AS 19 “Employee Benefits” discount rate and 
so there is some mismatching risk to the financial statements, 
should yields on gilts and corporate bonds diverge.

 The BSPS and Open Trustee Limited (‘OTL’), acting on behalf of 
the members of the old Scheme, hold an anti-embarrassment 
interest  in  TSUK  agreed  as  part  of  the  RAA.  The  anti-
embarrassment interest was initially 33.33% at the time of the 
RAA but has since been diluted to less than 1% due to successive 
equity issuances by TSUK to its parent company Corus Group 
Limited.  No  value  has  been  included  in  the  BSPS’s  assets  at 
March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019: Nil) for its interest in TSUK.

 At  March  31,  2020  the  new  scheme  had  a  surplus  of 
₹26,067.36  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹18,833.17  crore).  The 
company  has  recognised  100%  (March  31,  2019:  100%)  of 
the surplus as it has an unconditional right to a refund of the

39.  Employee benefits (Contd.)

surplus. The new scheme is fully funded on a low-risk technical 
provisions  (‘TP’)  basis  and  TSUK  is  working  with  the  Trustee 
to  explore  options  to  increase  security  for  members  and  to 
work towards an ultimate winding up of the scheme in which 
all  benefits  are  fully  secured  with  one  or  more  insurance 
companies. The March 31, 2018 valuation was agreed between 
TSUK and the BSPS Trustee on April 11, 2019. This was a surplus 
of ₹6,008.56 crore on a TP (more prudent) basis equating to a 
funding ratio of 106.3%. The agreed Schedule of Contributions 
recovery 
that  neither  ordinary  nor  deficit 
confirmed 
contributions are due from Tata Steel Europe.

 On  October  26,  2018  the  High  Court  ruled  that  UK  pension 
schemes would be required to equalise guaranteed minimum 
pensions  ('GMP').  The  ruling  also  provided  guidance  on  how 
this equalisation should be undertaken. Following this ruling, 
in  the  prior  year  an  increase  to  the  BSPS  liabilities  in  respect 
of  the  estimated  impact  of  this  equalisation  with  the  related 
charge  in  other  comprehensive  income  was  recognised.  This 
reserve has been retained at the same value in the March 31, 
2020 Ind AS 19 position.

(e)   Other defined benefits

 Other  benefits  provided  under  unfunded  schemes  include 
pension  payable  to  directors  on  their  retirement,  farewell 
gifts, post-retirement lumpsum benefit and reimbursement of 
packing  and  transportation  charges  to  the  employees  based 
on their last drawn salary.

 The  defined  benefit  plans  expose  the  Group  to  a  number  of 
actuarial risks as below:

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

(iv) 

(v) 

 Investment  risk:  The  present  value  of  the  defined 
benefit  plan  liability  is  calculated  using  a  discount  rate 
determined  by  reference  to  government/high  quality 
bond yields. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, 
it will create a plan deficit. 

 Interest  risk:  A  decrease  in  the  bond  interest  rate 
will  increase  the  plan  liability.  However,  this  will  be 
partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  the  value  of  plan’s 
debt investments.

 Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan 
liability  is  calculated  by  reference  to  the  future  salaries 
of plan participants. As such, an increase in salary of the 
plan participants will increase the plan’s liability. 

 Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit 
plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate 
of the mortality of plan participants both during and after 
their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of 
the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

 Inflation risk: Some of the Group’s Pension obligations 
are  linked  to  inflation,  and  higher  inflation  will  lead  to 
higher liabilities although, in most cases, caps on the level 
of inflationary increases are in place to protect the plan 
against extreme inflation.

The Group’s investment policy is driven by considerations of maximising returns while ensuring credit quality of debt instruments.  
The  asset  allocation  for  plan  assets  is  determined  based  on  prescribed  investment  criteria  and  is  also  subject  to  other  exposure 
limitations. The Group evaluates the risks, transaction costs and liquidity for potential investments. To measure plan assets performance, 
the Group compares actual returns for each asset category with published benchmarks.

Demographic assumptions are set having regard to the latest trends in life expectancy, plan experience and other relevant data, including 
externally published actuarial information within each national jurisdiction. The assumptions are reviewed and updated as necessary as part 
of the periodic actuarial funding valuations of the individual pension and post-retirement plans. For the BSPS the liability calculations as at 
March 31, 2020 use the Self-Administered Pension Schemes 2 (SAPS 2) base tables, S2NMA/S2DFA with the 2015 CMI projections with a 1.50% 
p.a. (2018-19: 1.50% p.a.) long-term trend applied from 2007 to 2016 [(adjusted by a multiplier of 1.15 p.a. (2018-19: 1.15 p.a.) for males and 
1.21 p.a. (2018-19: 1.21 p.a.) for females)]. In addition, future mortality improvements are allowed for in line with the 2019 CMI Projections with 
a long-term improvement trend of 1% per annum, a smoothing parameter of 7.0 and an initial addition parameter of 0%. This indicates that 
today's 65 year old male member is expected to live on average to approximately 86 years (2018-19: 86 years) of age and a male member 
reaching age 65 in 15 years time is then expected to live on average to 87 years (2018-19: 86 years) of age.

(iv)   Weighted average duration of the pension obligations is 14.5 years (March 31, 2019: 14.5 years).

A.  Contingencies

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Group  faces  claims  and 
assertions  by  various  parties.  The  Group  assesses  such  claims  and 
assertions and monitors the legal environment on an on-going basis, 
with  the  assistance  of  external  legal  counsel,  wherever  necessary. 
The Group records a liability for any claims where a potential loss is 
probable and capable of being estimated and discloses such matters 
in  its  consolidated  financial  statements,  if  material.  For  potential 
losses  that  are  considered  possible,  but  not  probable,  the  Group 
provides disclosure in the consolidated financial statements but does 
not record a liability in its accounts unless the loss becomes probable.

The  following  is  a  description  of  claims  and  assertions  where  a 
potential  loss  is  possible,  but  not  probable.  The  Group  believes 
that  none  of  the  contingencies  described  below  would  have  a 
material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition, results of 
operations or cash flows.

It  is  not  practicable  for  the  Group  to  estimate  the  timings  of 
the  cash  outflows,  if  any,  pending  resolution  of  the  respective 
proceedings.  The  Group  does  not  expect  any  reimbursements  in 
respect of the same.

Litigations

The Group is involved in legal proceedings, both as plaintiff and as 
defendant. There are claims which the Group does not believe to be 
of a material nature, other than those described below.

Income tax

The Group has ongoing disputes with income tax authorities relating 
to tax treatment of certain items. These mainly include disallowance 
of expenses, tax treatment of certain expenses claimed by the Group 
as deductions and the computation of, or eligibility of the Group’s 
use of certain tax incentives or allowances.

Most  of  these  disputes  and/or  disallowances,  being  repetitive  in 
nature, have been raised by the income tax authorities consistently 
in most of the years.

As at March 31, 2020, there are matters and/or disputes pending in 
appeal  amounting  to  ₹2,364.13  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹3,218.64 
crore) which includes ₹11.62 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹17.18 crore) in 
respect of equity accounted investees.

(b) 

The details of significant demands are as below:

(a) 

 Interest  expenditure  on  loans  taken  by  the  Company  for 
acquisition of a subsidiary has been disallowed in assessments 
with  tax  demand  raised  for  ₹1,551.10  crore  (inclusive  of 
interest) (March 31, 2019: ₹1,791.29 crore).

(b) 

 Interest expenditure on “Hybrid Perpetual Securities” has been 
disallowed in assessments with tax demand raised for ₹170.54 
crore (inclusive of interest) (March 31, 2019: ₹459.13 crore)

In respect of above demands, the Company has deposited an amount 
of ₹1,165.00 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹1,065.00 crore) as a precondition 
for obtaining stay. The Company expects to sustain its position on 
ultimate resolution of the said appeals.

Customs, Excise duty and Service tax

As  at  March  31,  2020,  there  were  pending  litigation  for  various 
matters  relating  to  customs,  excise  duty  and  service  tax  involving 
demands  of  ₹614.58  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹925.71  crore),  which 
includes  ₹20.50  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹19.95  crore)  in  respect  of 
equity accounted investees.

Sales tax/VAT

The total sales tax demands that are being contested by the Group 
amounted  to  ₹742.66  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹889.88  crore),  which 
includes  ₹79.05  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹79.70  crore)  in  respect  of 
equity accounted investees.

The details of significant demands are as below:

(a) 

 The  Company  stock  transfers  its  goods  manufactured  at 
Jamshedpur  works  plant  to 
its  various  depots/branches 
located  outside  the  state  of  Jharkhand  across  the  country 
and  these  goods  are  then  sold  to  various  customers  outside 
the states from depots/branches. As per the Central Sales Tax 
Act,  1956,  these  transfers  of  goods  to  depots/branches  were 
made  without  payment  of  Central  sales  tax  and  F-Form  was 
submitted in lieu of the stock-transfers made during the period 
of  assessment.  The  value  of  these  sales  was  also  disclosed  in 
the periodical returns filed as per the Jharkhand Vat Act, 2005. 
The Commercial Tax Department has raised demand of Central 
Sales  tax  by  levying  tax  on  the  differences  between  value  of 
sales  outside  the  states  and  value  of  F-Form  submitted  for 
stock  transfers.  The  amount  involved  for  various  assessment 
years  beginning  2011-2012  to  2015-2016  is  amounting  to 
₹127.00 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹127.00 crore).

 The  Commercial  Tax  Department  of  Jharkhand  has  rejected 
certain  Input  tax  credit  claimed  by  the  Company  on  goods 
purchased  from  the  suppliers  within  the  State  of  Jharkhand. 
The  Department  has  alleged  that  the  goods  have  not  been 
used in accordance with the provisions of Jharkhand VAT Act, 
2005. The potential exposure on account of disputed tax and 
interest for the period beginning 2012-2013 to 2015-2016 as on 
March 31, 2020 is ₹74.00 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹104.00 crore).

Other taxes, dues and claims

Other  amounts  for  which  the  Group  may  contingently  be  liable 
aggregate  to  ₹13,044.46  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹12,578.82  crore), 
which includes ₹90.53 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹75.22 crore) in respect 
of equity accounted investees.

The details of significant demands are as below:

(a) 

(b) 

 Claim  by  a  party  arising  out  of  conversion  arrangement 
₹195.79  crore  (March  31,  2019:  ₹195.79  crore).  The  Company 
has not acknowledged this claim and has instead filed a claim 
of ₹141.23 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹141.23 crore) on the party. 
The matter is pending before the Calcutta High Court.

 The  State  Government  of  Odisha  introduced  “Orissa  Rural 
Infrastructure  and  Socio  Economic  Development  Act,  2004” 
with  effect  from  February  2005  levying  tax  on  mineral 
bearing  land  computed  on  the  basis  of  value  of  minerals 
produced  from  the  mineral  bearing  land.  The  Company  had 
filed  a  writ  petition  in  the  Orissa  High  Court  challenging  the 
validity  of  the  Act.  The  High  Court  held  in  December  2005 
that the State does not have authority to levy tax on minerals.
The  State  of  Odisha  filed  an  appeal  in  the  Supreme  Court 
against the order of the High Court and the case is pending in 
Supreme Court. The potential liability, as at March 31, 2020 is 
₹8,732.29 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹7,573.53 crore).

(c) 

  The  Company  pays  royalty  on  iron  ore  on  the  basis  of 
quantity removed from the leased area at the rates based on 
notification  issued  by  the  Ministry  of  Mines,  Government  of 
India and the price published by India Bureau of Mines (IBM) on 
a monthly basis.

 Demand of ₹411.08 crore has been raised by Deputy Director of 
Mines, Joda, claiming royalty at sized ore rates on despatches 
of  ore  fines.  The  Company  has  filed  a  revision  petition  on 
November  14,  2013  before  the  Mines  Tribunal,  Government 
of India, Ministry of Mines, New Delhi, challenging the legality 
and  validity  of  the  demand  and  to  grant  refund  of  royalty 
paid  in  excess  by  the  Company.  Mines  Tribunal  has  granted 
stay  on  the  total  demand  with  directive  to  Government  of 
Odisha  not  to  take  any  coercive  action  for  realisation  of  this 
demanded amount.

 The Hon’ble High Court of Odisha, in a similar matter held the 
circulars  based  on  which  demands  were  raised  to  be  valid. 
The  Company  has  challenged  the  judgement  of  the  High 
Court by a separate petition in the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 
April 29, 2016.

408

(d) 

 On July 16, 2019, the Company has filed rejoinders to the reply 
filed  by  State  of  Odisha  against  the  revision  petition.  The 
State  pressed  for  rejection  of  revision  applications  citing  the 
judgment of the High Court. The Company represented before 
the  authorities  and  explained  that  the  judgment  was  passed 
under a particular set of ‘facts & circumstances’ which cannot 
have  blanket  application  on  the  Company  considering  the 
case of the Company is factually different. On August 7, 2019, 
the  Mines  Tribunal  decided  to  await  the  outcome  of  Special 
leave petition pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and 
adjourned the matter. 

 Likely demand of royalty on fines at sized ore rates as on March 
31, 2020 is ₹1,965.52 crore (March 31, 2019: ₹1,630.16 crore).

 Demand notices were originally issued by the Deputy Director 
of  Mines,  Odisha  amounting  to  ₹3,827.29  crore  for  excess 
production  over  the  quantity  permitted  under  the  mining 
plan, environment clearance or consent to operate, pertaining 
to 2000-01 to 2009-10. The demand notices have been raised 
under Section 21(5) of the Mines & Minerals (Development and 
Regulations)  Act,  1957  (MMDR).  The  Company  filed  revision 
petitions  before  the  Mines  Tribunal  against  all  such  demand 
notices. Initially, a stay of demands was granted, later by order 
dated  October  12,  2017,  the  issue  has  been  remanded  to  the 
state for reconsideration of the demand in the light of Supreme 
Court judgement passed on August 2, 2017.

 The Hon’ble Supreme Court pronounced its judgement in the 
Common Cause case on August 2, 2017 wherein it directed that 
compensation equivalent to the price of mineral extracted in 
excess  of  environment  clearance  or  without  forest  clearance 
from the forest land be paid.

 In  pursuance  to  the  Judgement  of  Hon’ble  Supreme  Court, 
demand/show  cause  notices  amounting  to  ₹3,873.35  crore 
have  been  issued  during  2017-18  by  the  Deputy  Director  of 
Mines, Odisha and the District Mining Office, Jharkhand.

In respect of the above demands:

•  as  directed  by  the  Hon’ble  Supreme  Court,  the  Company 
has provided and paid for iron ore and manganese ore an 
amount of ₹614.41 crore during 2017-18 for production in 
excess  of  environment  clearance  to  the  Deputy  Director 
of Mines, Odisha.

• 

the  Company  has  provided  and  paid  under  protest  an 
amount  of  ₹56.97  crore  during  2017-18  for  production  in

 An  agreement  was  executed  between  the  Government  of 
Odisha (GoO) and the Company in December, 1992 for drawal 
of  water  from  Kundra  Nalla  for  industrial  consumption.  In 

December  1993,  the  Tahsildar,  Barbil  issued  a  show-cause 
notice alleging that the Company has lifted more quantity of 
water than the sanctioned limit under the agreement and has 
also not installed the water meter.

 While  the  proceedings  in  this  regard  were  in  progress,  the 
Company  had  applied  for  allocation  of  fresh  limits.  Over  the 
years,  there  has  also  been  a  steep  increase  in  water  charges 
against  which  the  Company  filed  writ  petitions  before  the 
Hon’ble High Court of Odisha.

 In  this  regard,  the  Company  has  received  demand  of  ₹156.62 
crore for the period beginning January 1996 to February 2020. 
The potential exposure as on March 31, 2020 is ₹162.96 crore

 The  writ  petition  filed  in  August  1997  was  listed  for  hearing 
before  the  Full  Bench  of  High  Court  of  Odisha  on  May  17, 
2019.  SAIL,  one  of  the  petitioners,  sought  permission  to 
withdraw  its  writ  petition  because  a  settlement  arrived  with 
the State Government on the matter. The High Court allowed 
withdrawal of writ petition of SAIL and directed other parties 
to  negotiate  with  the  State  Government.  The  Company  has 
submitted  its  detailed  representation  to  Principal  Secretary, 
Water  Resource  Department,  GoO  on  June  21,  2019,  which  is 
under consideration.

41.  Other significant litigations

(a) 

  Odisha  Legislative  Assembly  issued  an  amendment  to  Indian 
Stamp Act, 1889, on May 9, 2013 and inserted a new provision 
(Section 3A) in respect of stamp duty payable on grant/ renewal 
of mining leases. As per the amended provision, stamp duty is 
levied equal to 15% of the average royalty that would accrue 
out  of  the  highest  annual  extraction  of  minerals  under  the 
approved mining plan multiplied by the period of such mining 
lease.  The  Company  had  filed  a  writ  petition  challenging  the 
constitutionality of the Act on July 5, 2013. The Hon’ble High 
Court, Cuttack passed an order on July 9, 2013 granting interim 
stay on the operation of the Amendment Act, 2013. Because of 
the stay, as on date, the Act is not enforceable and any demand 
received by the Company is not liable to be proceeded with. 
Meanwhile, the Company received demand notices for various 

mines in Odisha totalling to ₹5,579.00 crore (March 31, 2019: 
₹5,579  crore).  The  Company  has  concluded  that  it  is  remote 
that  the  claim  will  sustain  on  ultimate  resolution  of  the  legal 
case by the court.

 In  April,  2015,  the  Company  has  received  an  intimation  from 
Government  of  Odisha,  granting  extension  of  validity  period 
for leases under the MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 up to March 
31, 2030 in respect of eight mines and up to March 31, 2020 for 
two mines subject to execution of supplementary lease deed. 
Liability has been provided in the books of accounts as on March 
31, 2020 as per the existing provisions of the Stamp Act, 1899 
and  the  Company  had  paid  the  stamp  duty  and  registration 
charges  totalling  ₹413.72  crore  for  supplementary  deed 
execution in respect of eight mines out of the above mines.

b) 

 Noamundi Iron Ore Mine of the Company was due for its third 
renewal with effect from January 01, 2012. The application for 
renewal was submitted by the company within the stipulated 
time,  but  it  remained  pending  consideration  with  the  State 
and  the  mining  operations  were  continued  in  terms  of  the 
prevailing law.

 By  a  judgement  of  April  2014  in  the  case  of  Goa  mines,  the 
Supreme  Court  took  a  view  that  second  and  subsequent 
renewal  of  mining  lease  can  be  effected  once  the  State 
considers  the  application  and  decides  to  renew  the  mining 
lease  by  issuing  an  express  order.  State  of  Jharkhand  issued 
renewal  order  to  the  Company  on  December  31,  2014.  The 
State,  however,  took  a  view  on  an  interpretation  of  Goa 
judgment that the mining carried out after expiry of the period 
of  second  renewal  was  ‘illegal’  and  hence,  issued  a  demand 
notice of ₹3,568.31 crore being the price of iron ore extracted. 
The said demand has been challenged by the Company before 
the Jharkhand High Court.

 The mining operations were suspended from August 1, 2014. 
Upon  issuance  of  an  express  order,  Company  paid  ₹152.00 
crore under protest, so that mining could be resumed.

 The Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation (MMDR) 
Amendment  Ordinance  2015  promulgated  on  January  12, 
2015  provides  for  extension  of  such  mining  leases  whose 
applications  for  renewal  have  remained  pending  with  the 
State(s). Based on the new Ordinance, Jharkhand Government 
revised the Express Order on February 12, 2015 for extending 
the  period  of  lease  upto  March  31,  2030  with  the  following 
terms and conditions:

•  value  of  iron  ore  produced  by  alleged  unlawful  mining 
during  the  period  January  1,  2012  to  April  20,  2014  for 
₹2,994.49  crore  to  be  decided  on  the  basis  of  disposal  of 
our writ petition before Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand.

•  value  of  iron  ore  produced  from  April  21,  2014  to  July 
17,  2014  amounting  to  ₹421.83  crore  to  be  paid  in 
maximum 3 instalments.

•  value of iron ore produced from July 18, 2014 to August 31, 

2014 ₹152.00 crore to be paid immediately.

 District  Mining  Officer  Chaibasa  on  March  16,  2015  issued  a 
demand notice for payment of ₹421.83 crore in three monthly 
installments. The Company on March 20, 2015 replied that since 
the  lease  has  been  extended  by  application  of  law  till  March 
31, 2030, the above demand is not tenable. The Company, paid 
₹50.00 crore under protest on July 27, 2015, because the State 
had stopped issuance of transit permits.

 The  Company  filed  another  writ  petition  before  the  Hon’ble 
High  Court  of  Jharkhand  which  was  heard  on  September  9, 
2015.  An  interim  order  was  given  by  the  Hon’ble  High  Court 
of  Jharkhand  on  September  17,  2015,  wherein  the  Court  has 
directed the Company to pay the amount of ₹371.83 crore in 3 
equal instalments, first instalment by October 15, 2015, second 
instalment  by  November  15,  2015  and  third  instalment  by 
December 15, 2015.

 In  view  of  the  interim  order  of  the  Hon’ble  High  Court  of 
Jharkhand  ₹124.00  crore  was  paid  on  September  28,  2015, 
₹124.00  crore  on  November  12,  2015  and  ₹123.83  crore  on 
December 14, 2015 under protest.

 The case is pending before the Hon’ble High court for disposal. 
The State issued similar terms and conditions to other mining 
lessees in the State rendering the mining as illegal. Based on the 
Company’s assessment of the Goa mines judgement read with 
the Ordinance issued in the year 2015, the Company believes 
that it is remote that the demand of the State would sustain.

The Group’s capital management is intended to create value for shareholders by facilitating the achievement of long-term and short-term 
goals of the Group.

The Group determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual business plan of entities within the Group coupled with long-
term and short-term strategic investment and expansion plans. The funding needs are met through equity, cash generated from operations, 
long and short-term bank borrowings and issue of non-convertible debt securities.

The Group monitors the capital structure on the basis of net debt to equity ratio and maturity profile of the overall debt portfolio of the Group.

Net debt includes interest bearing borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances (including non-current and earmarked 
balances) and current investments.

(i)  

 Investments  in  mutual  funds  and  derivative  instruments  (other  than  those  designated  in  a  hedging  relationship)  are  mandatorily 
classified as fair value through profit and loss.

(b)  Fair value hierarchy

 The  following  table  provides  an  analysis  of  financial  instruments  that  are  measured  subsequent  to  initial  recognition  at  fair  value, 
grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, as described below.

 Quoted  prices  in  an  active  market  (Level  1):  This  Level  of  hierarchy  includes  financial  assets  and  liabilities,  that  are  measured  by 
reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This Level consists of investments in quoted 
equity shares and mutual funds.

 Valuation  techniques  with  observable  inputs  (Level  2):  This  Level  of  hierarchy  includes  financial  assets  and  liabilities,  measured 
using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) 
or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). This Level of hierarchy includes the Group’s over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts.

 Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This Level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities 
measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in 
part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions 
in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This Level includes investment in unquoted equity shares and 
preference shares.

(i)   Current financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which is approximately equal to their fair value.

(ii)  

(iii) 

(iv)  

(v)  

 Derivatives  are  fair  valued  using  market  observable  rates  and  published  prices  together  with  forecasted  cash  flow  information 
where applicable.

 Investments carried at fair value are generally based on market price quotations. Investments in equity shares included in Level 3 of 
the fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair value. Cost of unquoted equity instruments 
has been considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value because of a wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost 
represents the best estimate of fair value within that range. Fair value of investment in preference shares is estimated by discounting the 
expected future cash flows using a discount rate equivalent to the expected rate of return for a similar instrument and maturity as on the 
reporting date.

 Fair value of borrowings which have a quoted market price in an active market is based on its market price which is categorised as Level 
1. Fair value of borrowings which do not have an active market or are unquoted is estimated by discounting the expected future cash 
flows using a discount rate equivalent to the risk-free rate of return adjusted for credit spread considered by lenders for instruments of 
similar maturities which is categorised as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations 
in  any  estimation  technique.  Therefore,  for  substantially  all  financial  instruments,  the  fair  value  estimates  presented  above  are  not 
necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Group could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, fair 
value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date.

(vi)   There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

(c)  Derivative financial instruments

Derivative  instruments  used  by  the  Group  include  forward  exchange  contracts,  interest  rate  swaps,  currency  swaps,  options,  commodity 
futures, interest rate caps and collars. These financial instruments are utilised to hedge future transactions and cash flows and are subject 
to  hedge  accounting  under  Ind  AS  109  “Financial  Instruments”  wherever  possible.  The  Group  does  not  hold  or  issue  derivative  financial 
instruments for trading purposes. All transactions in derivative financial instruments are undertaken to manage risks arising from underlying 
business activities.

(d)  Transfer of financial assets

The  Group  transfers  certain  trade  receivables  under  discounting  arrangements  with  banks  and  financial  institutions.  Some  of  such 
arrangements do not qualify for de-recognition due to recourse arrangements being in place. Consequently, the proceeds received from 
transfer are recorded as short-term borrowings from banks and financial institutions.

The carrying value of trade receivables not de-recognised along with the associated liabilities is as below: 

Trade receivables

(e)  Financial risk management

 In  the  course  of  its  business,  the  Group  is  exposed  primarily 
to  fluctuations 
rates, 
commodity  prices,  interest  rates,  equity  prices,  liquidity  and 
credit  risk,  which  may  adversely  impact  the  fair  value  of  its 
financial instruments.

foreign  currency  exchange 

in 

 Entities within the Group have a risk management policy which 
not  only  covers  the  foreign  exchange  risks  but  also  other 
risks  associated  with  the  financial  assets  and  liabilities  such 
as  interest  rate  risks  and  credit  risks.  The  risk  management 
policy is approved by the Board of Directors of the respective 
companies. The risk management framework aims to:

(i) 

 create  a  stable  business  planning  environment  by 
reducing the impact of currency, commodity prices and 
interest rate fluctuations on the entity’s business plan.

(ii)  

 achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining 
the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.

(i)  Market risk 

 Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable 
fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change 
in  the  price  of  a  financial  instrument.  The  value  of  a  financial 
instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, 
foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  commodity  prices,  equity 
price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future 
specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with 
reasonable accuracy.

loss  and  equity,  where  any  transaction  references  more  than 
one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a 
currency other than the functional currency of the respective 
consolidated entities.

 Considering the countries and economic environment in which 
the Group operates, its operations are subject to risks arising 
from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries. The risks 
primarily relate to fluctuations in US Dollar, Great British Pound, 
Euro,  Singapore  Dollar,  and  Thai  Baht  against  the  respective 
functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 Entities  as  per  their  risk  management  policy,  use  foreign 
exchange forward and other derivative instruments primarily 
to  hedge  foreign  exchange  and 
interest  rate  exposure. 
Any  weakening  of  the  functional  currency  may  impact  the 
respective entities’ cost of imports and cost of borrowings and 
consequently  may  increase  the  cost  of  financing  the  Group’s 
capital expenditures.

 A  10%  appreciation/depreciation  of  foreign  currencies  with 
respect  to  the  functional  currency  of  the  entities  within  the 
Group  would  result  in  a  decrease/increase  in  the  Group’s 
net  profit  and  equity  before  considering  tax  impacts  by 
approximately  ₹578.31  crore  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2020,  (2018-19  ₹1,208.86  crore)  and  increase/decrease  in 
carrying  value  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  (before 
considering  depreciation  impact)  by  approximately  ₹109.94 
crore as at March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019: ₹145.38 crore). 

 The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated by assuming 
a  simultaneous  parallel  foreign  exchange  rates  shift  of  all 
the  currencies  by  10%  against  the  functional  currency  of  the 
entities within the Group.

45.  Disclosures on financial instruments (Contd.)

 The  sensitivity  analysis  has  been  based  on  the  composition 
of  the  Group’s  financial  assets  and  liabilities  as  at  March  31, 
2020  and  March  31,  2019  excluding  trade  payables,  trade 
receivables,  other  derivative  and  non-derivative  financial 
instruments  not  forming  part  of  debt  and  which  do  not 
present a material exposure. The period end balances are not 
necessarily  representative  of  the  average  debt  outstanding 
during the period.

(b)  Market risk - Interest rate risk:

 Interest rate risk is measured by using the cash flow sensitivity 
for  changes  in  variable  interest  rates.  Any  movement  in  the 
reference rates could have an impact on the Group’s cash flows 
as well as costs.

 The  Group  is  subject  to  variable  interest  rates  on  some  of  its 
interest bearing liabilities. The Group’s interest rate exposure is 
mainly related to debt obligations.

 Based  on  the  composition  of  debt  as  at  March  31,  2020  and 
March  31,  2019  a  100  basis  points  increase  in  interest  rates 
would increase the Group’s finance costs (before considering 
interest  eligible  for  capitalization)  and  thereby  consequently 
reduce  net  profit  and  equity  before  considering  tax  impacts 
by approximately ₹629.81 crore for the year ended March 31, 
2020 (2018-19 : ₹555.11 crore).

 The risk estimates provided assume a parallel shift of 100 basis 
points  interest  rate  across  all  yield  curves.  This  calculation 
also  assumes  that  the  change  occurs  at  the  balance  sheet 
date  and  has  been  calculated  based  on  risk  exposures 
outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not 
necessarily  representative  of  the  average  debt  outstanding 
during the period.

(c)  Market risk - Equity price risk:

 Equity  price  risk  is  related  to  the  change  in  market  reference 
price of investments in equity securities held by the Group.

 The fair value of quoted investments held by the Group exposes 
the Group to equity price risks. In general, these investments 
are not held for trading purposes.

 The fair value of quoted investments in equity classified as fair 
value through other comprehensive income/profit and loss as 
at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was ₹205.02 crore and 
₹454.53 crore respectively.

 A  10%  change  in  equity  prices  of  such  securities  held  as  at 
March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 would result in an impact 
of ₹20.50 crore and ₹45.45 crore respectively on equity before 
considering tax impact.

(ii)  Commodity risk

 The  Group  makes  use  of  commodity  futures  contracts 
and  options  to  manage  its  purchase  price  risk  for  certain 
commodities.  Across  the  Group,  forward  purchases  are  also 
made  of  zinc,  tin  and  nickel  to  cover  sales  contracts  with 
fixed metal prices.

 There  was  no  significant  market  risk  relating  to  the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  and  loss  since  the  majority 
of  commodity  derivatives  are  treated  as  cash  flow  hedges 
with movements being reflected in equity and the timing and 
recognition  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  and  loss 
would depend on the point at which the underlying hedged 
transactions are recognised

(iii)  Credit risk

 Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counter-party 
failure  to  repay  or  service  debt  according  to  the  contractual 
terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct 
risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness 
as well as concentration risks.

 Entities  within  the  Group  have  a  policy  of  dealing  only 
with  credit  worthy  counter  parties  and  obtaining  sufficient 
collateral, where appropriate as a means of mitigating the risk 
of financial loss from defaults.

 Financial  instruments  that  are  subject  to  credit  risk  and 
concentration thereof principally consist of trade receivables, 
loans  receivables,  investments  in  debt  securities  and  mutual 
funds,  balances  with  banks,  bank  deposits,  derivatives 
and  financial  guarantees  provided  by  the  Group.  None  of 
the  financial  instruments  of  the  Group  result  in  material 
concentration of credit risk.

 The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum 
credit  risk.  The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  was 
₹18,661.48  crore  and  ₹12,960.20  crore  as  at  March  31,  2020 
and  March  31,  2019  respectively,  being  the  total  carrying 
value of trade receivables, balances with bank, bank deposits, 
investments  in  debt  securities  and  mutual  funds,  loans, 
derivative  assets  and  other  financial  assets  net  of  insurance 
cover, where applicable.

45.  Disclosures on financial instruments (Contd.)

 The Group’s exposure to customers is diversified and there is 
no  concentration  of  credit  risk  with  respect  to  any  particular 
customer as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

 In  respect  of  financial  guarantees  provided  by  the  Group 
to  banks  and  financial  institutions,  the  maximum  exposure 
which the Group is exposed to is the maximum amount which 
the Group would have to pay if the guarantee is called upon. 
Based on the expectation at the end of the reporting period, 
the Group considers that it is more likely than not that such an 
amount will not be payable under the guarantees provided.

(iv)  Liquidity risk

 Liquidity  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  the  Group  cannot  meet 
liquidity  risk 
its  financial  obligations.  The  objective  of 
management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that 
funds are available for use as per requirements.

 The  Group  has  obtained  fund  and  non-fund  based  working 
capital  lines  from  various  banks.  Furthermore,  the  entities 
within the Group have access to undrawn lines of committed 
and  uncommitted  borrowing/facilities,  funds  from  debt 
markets through commercial paper programs, non-convertible 
debentures and other debt instruments. The Group invests its 
surplus funds in bank fixed deposits and mutual funds, which 
carry no or low mark to market risk. The Company and entities 
within the Group, wherever applicable, have also invested 15% 
of  the  non-convertible  debentures  (issued  by  the  Company/
entities)  falling  due  for  repayment  in  the  next  12  months 
in  bank  deposits,  to  meet  the  regulatory  norms  of  liquidity 
requirements.  The  Group  also  constantly  monitors  funding 
options available in the debt and capital markets with a view of 
maintaining financial flexibility. 

 The  Group’s  liquidity  position  remains  strong  as  at  March 
31,  2020,  comprising  of  current  investments,  cash  and  cash 
equivalents  and  other  balances  with  banks,  in  addition  to 
committed undrawn bank lines.

 Segment performance is reviewed by the CODM on the basis of profit or loss from continuing operations before finance income/cost, 
depreciation  and  amortisation  expenses,  share  of  profit/(loss)  of  joint  ventures  and  associates  and  tax  expenses.  Segment  results 
reviewed by the CODM also exclude income or expenses which are non-recurring in nature and are classified as an exceptional item. 
Information about segment assets and liabilities provided to the CODM, however, include the related assets and liabilities arising on 
account  of  items  excluded  in  measurement  of  segment  results.  Such  amounts,  therefore,  form  part  of  the  reported  segment  assets 
and liabilities.

(ii) 

 No single customer represents 10% or more of the Group’s total revenue during the year ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

48.   The Board of Directors of the Company have considered and approved a merger of Bamnipal Steel Limited and Tata Steel BSL Limited 
into the Company by way of a composite scheme of amalgamation and have recommended a merger ratio of 1 equity share of ₹10/-
each fully paid up of the Company for every 15 equity shares of ₹2/- each fully paid up held by the public shareholders of Tata Steel BSL

49. 

  Tata Steel Europe (TSE), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group has assessed the potential impact of the downturn in steel demand due 
to the COVID-19 pandemic on its future business outlook.

 Based  on  an  initial  assessment,  the  outlook  for  its  UK  operation  is  expected  to  be  adversely  impacted  with  respect  to  its  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern  and  meet  its  liquidity  requirements.  In  response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  TSE  as  a  whole  including 
TSUK continues to implement various measures aimed at conserving cash including but not limited to deferral of capital expenditures, 
reduction  in  administrative  expenses,  use  of  non-recourse  securitisation  programmes,  seeking  Government  backed  funding  etc. 
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary TS Global Procurement Company Pte. Ltd. has also undertaken to provide working 
capital funding support to TSE including TSUK.

 Given that the severity and length of the downturn in steel demand on account of the pandemic remains unpredictable, the directors of 
TSE observed that while there is a reasonable expectation that TSE has the adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable 
future  and  that  the  going  concern  basis  for  the  preparation  of  its  financial  statements  remains  appropriate,  there  exists  a  material 
uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its financial situation. The financial statements of TSE are prepared on 
a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments regarding going concern of TSUK.

 The Group has assessed its ability to meet any liquidity requirements at TSE, if required, and concluded that its cashflow and liquidity 
position remains strong.

50. 

 The net worth of TRF Limited, an associate of the Company, has been fully eroded. The carrying value of the share of investment in 
the consolidated financial statements is Nil. The financial statements of TRF Limited have been prepared on a going concern basis as 
it expects to generate cash flow from improvements in its operations, increased business from the Company, increased efficiencies in 
the project activities, proceeds from restructuring of its subsidiaries, facilities from banks as required and the Company is expected to 
provide the necessary financial support to TRF Limited, if required, to meet its future obligations.

51.  Dividend

 The dividend declared by the Company is based on profits available for distribution as reported in the standalone financial statements 
of the Company. On June 29, 2020 the Board of Directors of the Company have proposed a dividend of ₹10 per Ordinary Share of ₹10 
each and ₹2.504 per partly paid Ordinary Share of ₹10 each (paid up ₹2.504 per share) in respect of the year ended March 31, 2020 
subject to the approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. If approved, the dividend would result in a cash outflow of 
₹1,144.75 crore.  

52.  Previous year figures have been recasted/restated wherever necessary.
