A provision is recognised when the Company has
a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of past events and it is probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation, in respect
of which a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of obligation. Provisions (excluding gratuity
and compensated absences) are determined based
on management''s estimate required to settle the
obligation at the Balance Sheet date. In case the time
value of money is material, provisions are discounted
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks
specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time
is recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed
at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect
the current management estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of
possible obligations that arise from past events,
whose existence would be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Company. A contingent liability also arises, in
rare cases, where a liability cannot be recognised
because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of
economic resources is probable.
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual
expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated
amount of contracts remaining to be executed on
capital account and not provided for.
When items of income and expense within profit or
loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature
or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to
explain the performance of the enterprise for the
period, the nature and amount of such material items
are disclosed separately as exceptional items.

Note 21.4 - Loans guaranteed by directors Nil (31 March 2024: Nil)
As per the Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 every year the Company is required to spend at least 2% of its
average net profits made during the three immediate preceding financial years on the Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) activities. Following is the information regarding projects undertaken and expenses incurred on CSR activities.
a. Gross amount required to be spent by the Company during the year ended 31 March 2025: I 430.43 Lakhs
(31 March 2024: I 171.33 Lakhs)
c. Amount of shortfall at the end of the year ended 31 March 2025 out of the amount required to be spent during
the year: I 23.62 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 0.84 Lakhs).
d. Total of previous year shortfall: Nil
e. Reason for shortfalls:
Actual cost incurred for one of the CSR activities was less by I 1.45 Lakh against the allocated amount and
for balance amount of I 22.17 Lakh, the Company could not identify any viable CSR projects falling under
Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013, in which the unspent amount could be utilised.
Consequently, the total unspent amount for FY 2024-25 in respect of CSR is I 23.62 Lakh, which the Board
of the Company, decided to transfer to Swachh Bharat Kosh, set up by the Central Government for the
promotion of sanitation.
f. Nature of CSR activities undertaken: Health care, Education including special education and employment
enhancing vocational skill development, environmental sustainability, Women empowerment, Animal welfare
and activities related to setting up old age homes & hostels for women, orphans and senior citizens.
(vi) Provident Fund
Based on the judgement delivered by the Honorable Supreme Court dated 28 February 2019, past provident
fund liability, is not determinable at present, in view of uncertainty on the applicability of the judgement
to the Company with respect to timing and the components of its compensation structure. In absence of
further clarification, the Company has been legally advised to await further developments in this matter to
reasonably assess the implications on its financial statements, if any.
(a) The Company has a number of claims on customers for price escalation and / or variation in contract
work. In certain cases which are currently under arbitration, the customers have raised counter-claims.
The Company has received legal advice that none of the counter-claims are legally tenable. Accordingly no
provision is considered necessary in respect of these counter claims. It also include claims by third parties.
(b) It is not practicable for the Company to estimate the timings of cash outflows, if any, in respect of the
above pending resolution of the respective proceedings. The Company does not expect any reimbursements
in respect of the above contingent liabilities other than stated therein above. Future cash outflows in
respect of the above are determinable only on receipt of judgements/ decisions pending with various forums/
authorities. The Company does not expect any outflow of economic resources in respect of the above and
therefore no provision is made in respect thereof.
Note 33: The Company''s trade receivables and unbilled work-in-progress include amount aggregating I 913.04 Lakhs
and I 2,099.68 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 882.79 Lakhs and I 2,494.65 Lakhs), respectively, which represent various
receivables/ claims which have been raised based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts of certain
completed/ nearing completion projects. These receivables/ claims are mainly in respect of cost over-run arising due
to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work; for which Company
is at various stages of negotiations/ discussions/ arbitration/ litigation with the clients. Considering the contractual
tenability, progress of negotiations/ discussions/arbitration/ litigations and as legally advised in certain contentious
matters, the management is confident of recovery of these receivables.
The Company''s Managing Director who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company, examines
the performance of the business and allocates funds on the basis of a single reportable segment i.e. ''Construction''.
Further, the Company has operations mainly in India and has no other reportable segment.
Accordingly, the segment revenue, segment results, total carrying amount of segment assets and segment liability,
total cost incurred to acquire segment assets and total amount of charge for depreciation during the period, is as
reflected in the Standalone Financial Statements as on and for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.
The fair value of the financial assets are included at amounts at which the instruments could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:
(a) Fair value of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current
liabilities, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
(b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters
such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances
are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
The Company''s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company''s
focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on its
financial performance.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price
risk, such as equity price risk. Major financial instruments affected by market risk includes loans and borrowings.
a Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates
primarily to the Company''s total debt obligations with floating interest rates.
Interest rate sensitivity
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion
of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company''s profit before tax is
affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable
market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.
Foreign currency risk
The Company has balances in foreign currency and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange
risk. Foreign currency risk arrises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the company''s functional currency (INR). The Company evaluates exchange
rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.
The Company''s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
During the year, to mitigate the Company''s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-INR cash flows are monitored
and forward exchange contracts are entered into in accordance with the Company''s risk management policies.
Generally, the Company''s risk management procedures distinguish short-term foreign currency cash flows (due
within 6 months) from longer-term cash flows (due after 6 months).
The net effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents as per Ind AS 7 is I 33.52 Lakhs.
Non presentation in cash flow has no impact on the profit and loss of the company.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company''s exposure in foreign currency is not material and hence the impact of any significant fluctuation
in the exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact on the operating profits of the Company.
c Equity price risk
The Company''s exposure in equity securities as at 31 March 2025 is I 5 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 5 Lakhs) and as
a result the impact of any price change will not have a material effect on the profit or loss of the Company.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed.
The maximum exposure of the financial assets are contributed by trade receivables. Company''s exposure to credit
risk for receivable from customers (retention - not due) beyond one year is I 21,874.69 Lakhs.
a Trade receivable
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from two main classes of trade
receivables i.e receivables from sale to government corporations and receivables from sales to private third
parties. A substantial portion of the Company''s trade receivables are from government promoted corporations
customers having strong credit worthiness.
The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from government promoted
agencies and others:
b Financial assets other than trade receivables
Financial assets other than trade receivables comprise of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances,
loan to employees and other financial assets. The Company monitors the credit exposure on these financial
assets on a case-to-case basis. Based on the Company''s historical experience, the credit risk on other financial
assets is also low.
The following table gives details in respect of contract revenues generated from the top customer and top 5
customers for each of the reporting period:
Liquidity is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time
or at a reasonable price. The Company''s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as
settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior
management. Management monitors the Company''s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis
of expected cash flows.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities:
Refer note 2(xvi)(a) for accounting policy on revenue recognition.
The Company''s entire business falls under one operational segment of ''Engineering and Construction''.
Contract revenue represents revenue from Engineering and Construction contracts wherein the performance
obligation is satisfied over a period of time. Further, the management believes that the nature, amount, timing
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from all its contracts are similar. Accordingly, disclosure of revenue
recognised from contracts disaggregated into categories has not been made.
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as at the
end of the year is I 17,81,923.84 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 19,28,246.15 Lakhs). Most of Company''s contracts
have a life cycle of 2-3 years. Management expects that around 25% - 30% of the transaction price allocated to
unsatisfied contracts as of 31 March 2025 will be recognised as revenue during next reporting period depending
upon the progress on each contracts. The remaining amounts are expected to be recognised over the next 3
years. The amount disclosed above does not include variable consideration.
Note: Increase in contract assets is primarily due to higher revenue recognition as compared to progress
billing during the year in certain projects, whereas increase in contract liabilities is due to higher progress
billing as compared to revenue recognition during the year in certain other projects.
(ii) Revenue recognised during the year from opening balance of contract liabilities (i.e. due to customers)
amounts to I 10,821.98 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 15,947.82 Lakhs).
(iii) Revenue recognised during the year from the performance obligation satisfied upto previous year amounts
to Nil (31 March 2024: Nil).
i. Amount of amortisation recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss during the year: Nil (31 March 2024: Nil)
ii. Amount recognised as contract assets as at 31 March 2025: Nil (31 March 2024: Nil)
The net carrying value of right-of-use assets as at 31 March 2025 of I 2,513.12 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 2,470.93
Lakhs) have been disclosed on the face of the balance sheet. (Also refer note 3B)
(i) As at 31 March 2025, the lease obligations aggregating I 2,841.78 Lakhs (31 March 2024: I 2,708.68 Lakhs)
which have been classified to lease liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. (Also refer note 18)
(ii) The following is the movement in lease liabilities:
For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital and all other equity

The Companyâs trade receivables and unbilled work-in-progress include amount aggregating I 882.79 Lakhs and I 2,494.65 Lakhs (31 March 2023: I 865.39 Lakhs and I 2,519.81 Lakhs), respectively, which represent various receivables/ claims which have been raised based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts of certain completed/nearing completion projects. These receivables/claims are mainly in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work; for which Company is at various stages of negotiations/discussions/arbitration/litigation with the clients. Considering the contractual tenability, progress of negotiations/discussions/arbitration/litigations and as legally advised in certain contentious matters, the management is confident of recovery of these receivables.
The Companyâs managing director who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company, examines the performance of the business and allocates funds on the basis of a single reportable segment i.e. âConstructionâ. Further, the Company has operations mainly in India and has no other reportable segment.
Accordingly, the segment revenue, segment results, total carrying amount of segment assets and segment liability, total cost incurred to acquire segment assets and total amount of charge for depreciation during the period, is as reflected in the Standalone Financial Statements as on and for the financial year ended 31 March 2024.
The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.
Expected contribution in the next year 1,226.01 Lakhs (31 March 2023: I 1,050.75 Lakhs)
Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed by varying one actuarial assumption used for the valuation of the defined benefit obligation, keeping all other actuarial assumptions constant. The significant actuarial assumptions are discount rate and salary escalation rate.
In accordance with Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1952, all eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund plan in which both the employee and employer (at a determined rate) contribute monthly to âITD Cementation India Limited Workmen Provident Fundâ, a Trust set up by the Company to manage the investments and distribute the amounts to employees at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier. This plan is a defined plan as the Company is obligated to provide its members a rate of return which should, at a minimum, meet the interest rate declared by Government administered provident fund.
A part of the Companyâs 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 the Statement of Profit and Loss under âEmployee benefits expenseâ.
I n accordance with an actuarial valuation of provident fund liabilities on the basis of 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.
The fair value of the financial assets are included at amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:
(a) Fair value of cash and short term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
(b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected losses of these receivables.
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - 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)
NOTE 38 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Companyâs activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Major financial instruments affected by market risk includes loans and borrowings.
I nterest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Companyâs total debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Companyâs profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment, showing a significantly higher volatility than in prior years.
The Company has balances in foreign currency and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Foreign currency risk arrises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the companyâs functional currency (I). The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.
During the year, to mitigate the Companyâs exposure to foreign currency risk, non-INR cash flows are monitored and forward exchange contracts are entered into in accordance with the Companyâs risk management policies. Generally, the Companyâs risk management procedures distinguish short-term foreign currency cash flows (due within 6 months) from longer-term cash flows (due after 6 months).
The Companyâs exposure in foreign currency is not material and hence the impact of any significant fluctuation in the exchange rates is not expected to have a material impact on the operating profits of the Company.
The Companyâs exposure in equity securities as at 31 March 2024 is I 5 Lakhs (31 March 2023: I 5 Lakhs) and as a result the impact of any price change will not have a material effect on the profit or loss of the Company.
Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. The maximum exposure of the financial assets are contributed by trade receivables. Companyâs exposure to credit risk for receivable from customers (retention - not due) beyond one year is I 14,600.85 Lakhs.
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from two main classes of trade receivables i.e receivables from sale to government corporations and receivables from sales to private third parties. A substantial portion of the Companyâs trade receivables are from government promoted corporations customers having strong credit worthiness.
Financial assets other than trade receivables comprise of cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loan to employees and other financial assets. The Company monitors the credit exposure on these financial assets on a case-to-case basis. Based on the Companyâs historical experience, the credit risk on other financial assets is also low.
Liquidity is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Companyâs treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Companyâs net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities:
NOTE 39 - DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO IND AS 115 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS:
Refer note 2(xvi)(a) for accounting policy on revenue recognition.
The Companyâs entire business falls under one operational segment of âEngineering and Constructionâ. Contract revenue represents revenue from Engineering and Construction contracts wherein the performance obligation is satisfied over a period of time. Further, the management believes that the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from all its contracts are similar. Accordingly, disclosure of revenue recognised from contracts disaggregated into categories has not been made.
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as at the end of the year is I 19,28,246.15 Lakhs (31 March 2023: I 19,23,305.63 Lakhs). Most of Companyâs contracts have a life cycle of 2-3 years. Management expects that around 25% - 30% of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied contracts as of 31 March 2024 will be recognised as revenue during next reporting period depending upon the progress on each contracts. The remaining amounts are expected to be recognised over the next 3 years. The amount disclosed above does not include variable consideration.
Note: Increase in contract assets is primarily due to higher revenue recognition as compared to progress billing during the year in certain projects, whereas increase in contract liabilities is due to higher progress billing as compared to revenue recognition during the year in certain other projects.
(ii) Revenue recognised during the year from opening balance of contract liabilities (i.e. due to customers) amounts to I 15,947.82 Lakhs (31 March 2023: I 7,546.74 Lakhs).

NOTE 45 DISCLOSURE FOR MAINTENANCE OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS WITH AUDIT TRAIL (EDIT LOG)
During the year, the Company has used a particular accounting software for maintaining books of accounts for all its projects in India and a different Accounting software for its overseas projects. The accounting software used by the Company in India has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software. The said software had an option to disable the audit trail (edit log) facility in tables for changing the configuration of audit trail (edit log).
In respect of accounting software of one of the overseas projects, the audit trail (edit log) feature was enabled during the year by upgrading to an advanced version of the accounting software whereas in another overseas project, the audit trail feature was enabled after the year end.
Further, for the periods where the audit trail (edit log) facility was enabled and operational, we did not come across any instance of the audit trail feature being tampered with.
NOTE 46 Previous period figures have been regrouped/reclassified whereever necessary, to conform to the current periodâs classification.
Mar 31, 2023
A provision is recognised when the Company has a
present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of
past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions
(excluding gratuity and compensated absences) are
determined based on managementâs estimate required
to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. In
case the time value of money is material, provisions are
discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the
risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used,
the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost. These are reviewed at each
Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current
management estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible
obligations that arise from past events, whose existence
would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence
of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Company. A contingent liability also
arises, in rare cases, where a liability cannot be recognised
because it cannot be measured reliably.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of
economic resources is probable.
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual
expenditure, classified and disclosed as estimated
amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital
account and not provided for.
xxiv. Exceptional Items
When items of income and expense within profit or
loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature
or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain
the performance of the enterprise for the period, the
nature and amount of such material items are disclosed
separately as exceptional items.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notifies new
standards or amendments to the existing standards
under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules
as issued from time to time. On 31 March 2023, MCA
amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Amendment Rules, 2023, as below:
This amendment requires the companies to disclose their
material accounting policies rather than their significant
accounting policies. Accounting policy information,
together with other information, is material when it can
reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary
users of financial statements.
The amedments replace the definition of a change in
accounting estimates with a definition of accounting
estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates
are âmonetary amounts in financial statements that are
subject to measurement uncertaintyâ. The amendments
clarify the distinction between changes in accounting
estimates and changes in accounting policies and
the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities
use measurement techniques and inputs to develop
accounting estimates.
The amendments clarify how companies account
for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and
decommissioning obligations. The amendment has
narrowed the scope of the initial recognition exemption
so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to
equal and offsetting temporary differences. Accordingly,
companies will need to recognise a deferred tax asset
and a deferred tax liability for temporary differences
arising on transactions such as initial recognition of a
lease and a decommissioning provision.
These amendments shall come into force with effect from
1 April 2023. The Company is assessing the potential
effect of the amendments on its financial statements. The
Company will adopt these amendments, if applicable,
from applicability date.
