The internal and operational audit is entrusted to M/s Adalatwale and Bhagwat, a reputed firm of Chartered Accountants.

Some of the risks that may arise to the Company are explained here: The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, regulatory risk, human resource risk and commodity price risk.
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.

to meet its present and future cash flow and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company constantly monitors the liquidity levels, economic and capital market conditions and maintains access to the lowest cost means of sourcing liquidity through banking lines, trade finance and capital markets.
The Company is exposed to risks attached to various statutes, laws and regulations. The Company is mitigating these risks through regular review of legal compliances carried out through internal control and audits.
(e) Â Â Â Human Resource Risk

Business Operations Overview
We are one of the leading private sector road-focused EPC contractors in India. During the last five Financial Years ended March 31, 2018, we completed the construction of 80 road projects in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Punjab and Tamil Nadu in India, with an aggregate length of approximately 10024.00 lane kms, achieving a CAGR of 32.14% of revenue growth on standalone basis for the five Financial Years ended March 31, 2018.
As the owner of one of the largest fleets of construction equipment in India, we maintained, as of March 31, 2018, a modern equipment fleet of 9998 vehicles and other construction equipmentâs from some of the worldâs leading suppliers, such as Schwing Stettar, Metso, Wirtgen and Vogele. We are one of the largest employers in the construction industry in India and employed 32093 employees as of March 31, 2018. Our core business is undertaking construction projects across India in the roads sector. We specialize in constructing state and national highways, city roads, culverts and bridges. As a result of the natural growth of our road construction business, as well as the recent government support to the infrastructure sector and rising opportunities in new business areas, recently we expanded into the irrigation and urban development businesses.
Our business comprises: (i) our construction business, under which we undertake Road & Highways (State & National Highways, City Roads, Bridges & Culverts, Operation and Maintenance) irrigation, urban development and mining projects on an EPC basis; and (ii) our infrastructure development business, under which we undertake building, operation and development of road projects on a BOT basis with a focus on annuity projects.
As of March 31, 2018, we had an order book of Rs. 23,88,810 Lakhs, consisting of 25 third party road EPC projects, 20 of our own road BOT/HYBRID projects on EPC basis, 1 irrigation projects, 3 urban development projects, 2 mining projects and 1 cable-stayed bridge project.

In our irrigation business, we undertake to build canals and dams. Our irrigation team undertakes primarily design and construction works for tunnels and canals for agricultural irrigation purposes. We do not need to make any further investment into our equipment bank as we are able to use our existing equipment for our irrigation projects. Undertaking irrigation projects in the areas close to our on-going projects facilitates our strategy to cluster our EPC projects. We can conveniently move and use the manpower, machines and materials in the nearby work sites and undertake these projects on a cost effective basis. We recognized revenue of 16,096 Lakhs from this business for Financial Year 2018. As of March 31, 2018, we were undertaking 1 EPC irrigation project in Madhya Pradesh. Our order book for these projects amounted to Rs. 4258.80 Lakhs as of March 31, 2018, accounting for 0.18 % of our total order book.
Urban Development
Your company has also diversified into the urban development business. The recent trend in the urban development sector has provided us with an opportunity to diversify our business. We believe this sector may continue to grow during the next few years and thus plan to undertake projects in our core geographic markets. We commenced urban development projects in Madhya Pradesh in Financial Year 2013 to explore the opportunities created by the increased focus of the State Government on improving the living conditions of the underprivileged. In our urban development business, we undertake re-development and re-densification of government housing and build residential units under affordable housing schemes, construction of district court and other structures in group water supply schemes relating to irrigation or water supply for agricultural purposes.

All these expertise of DBL enjoys close synergy with the mining business. As a part of diversification strategy and to exploit the existing strengths of the organization, DBL ventured into mining business, bagged contracts of Overburden/Waste Removal from Northern Coalfield Limited (NCL) and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). In a very short span of 12 months DBL has achieved a remarkable excavation capacity of 2.50 Lakhs BCM per day in the most cost efficient manner and established new benchmarks for the Industry.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS
In our infrastructure development business, we develop and maintain roads and highways on a BOT basis. The Company has signed a Term Sheet with Chhatwal Group Trust (the Investor) on August 24, 2017 in respect of divestment of its entire stake in the 24 of its Subsidiary Companies (SPVs) out of which as of March 31, 2018, we had completed 17 projects totaling 2307.71 Lane kms in the states of Gujarat, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh in India & 7 projects totaling 2146.29 Lane Kms under construction projects which are part of Shrem deal and additional separate 11 under construction recently won HAM projects (other than Shrem deal) totaling 2550.38 Lane kms in the states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Telangana, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh in India.
We currently undertake BOT/Hybrid projects opportunistically, considering factors such as their proximity to clusters where we are executing other projects to maximize efficiency of execution and profitability, and the potential cash flow from such projects after they become operational. Given our strategy and focus on providing EPC services, we may also evaluate opportunities to divest, either wholly or partially, our operational BOT assets, thereby freeing up capital invested in these projects for redeployment elsewhere.
Our Geographical Footprint
Starting with Madhya Pradesh, we have expanded into 17 other states, including Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Punjab, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Goa, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. Increasingly, our order book consists of orders from outside Madhya Pradesh, representing approximately 89.53% of our order book as of March 31, 2018, as compared to 84.37% as of March 31, 2017. We believe our geographically diversified portfolio gives us more leverage to hedge against risks in specific areas or projects and protects us from fluctuations resulting from business concentration in limited geographical areas. The following chart illustrates our geographical footprint as of March 31, 2018:

Business Operations Overview
We are one of the leading private sector road-focused EPC contractors in India. During the last five Financial Years ended March 31, 2017 we completed the construction of 73 road projects in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra in India, with an aggregate length of approximately 8,604.61 lane kms, achieving a CAGR of 34.75% of revenue growth on standalone basis for the five Financial Years ended March 31, 2017.
As the owner of one of the largest fleets of construction equipment in India, we maintained, as of March 31, 2017, a modern equipment fleet of 8,525 vehicles and other construction equipments from some of the worldâs leading suppliers, such as Schwing Stettar, Metso, Wirtgen and Vogele. We are one of the largest employers in the construction industry in India and employed 25,290 employees as of March 31, 2017.
Our core business is undertaking construction projects across India in the roads sector. We specialize in constructing state and national highways, city roads, culverts and bridges. As a result of the natural growth of our road construction business, as well as the recent government support to the infrastructure sector and rising opportunities in new business areas, recently we expanded into the irrigation and urban development businesses.
Our business comprises: (i) our construction business, under which we undertake roads, bridges, irrigation, urban development and mining projects on an EPC basis; and (ii) our infrastructure development business, under which we undertake building, operation and development of road projects on a BOT basis with a focus on annuity projects.
As of March 31, 2017, we had an order book of Rs. 1,756,826.51 Lakhs, consisting of 37 third party road EPC projects, 10 of our own road BOT/HYBRID projects on EPC basis, 2 irrigation projects, 3 urban development projects, 3 mining projects and 1 cable-stayed bridge project.
CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS Roads & Bridges:-
In our road and bridge construction business, we mainly design, construct and maintain roads, bridges and highways on an EPC basis with third party and EPC Contracts awarded to us through our subsidiary companies.
We recognized revenue of Rs. 457,143.01 Lakhs from this business for Financial Year 2017. As on March 31, 2017, we were undertaking a total of 37 road EPC Projects, 1 Bridge and 10 road infrastructure development projects in 12 states, which amounted to an aggregate length of 8,781.25 lane kms. Our order book for these projects amounted to Rs.1,458,089.52 Lakhs as of March 31, 2017, accounting for 83% of our total order book.
Irrigation:-
We recently diversified into the irrigation business. We started to undertake irrigation projects in Financial Year 2014 to explore opportunities created by the increased focus of the Government and State Governments on agriculture. In our irrigation business, we undertake to build canals and dams. Our irrigation team undertakes primarily design and construction works for tunnels and canals for agricultural irrigation purposes. We do not need to make any further investment into our equipment bank as we are able to use our existing equipments for our irrigation projects. Undertaking irrigation projects in the areas close to our on-going projects facilitates our strategy to cluster our EPC projects. We can conveniently move and use the manpower, machines and materials in the nearby work sites and undertake these projects on a cost effective basis.
We recognized revenue of 27,827.28 Lakhs from this business for Financial Year 2017. As of March 31, 2017, we were undertaking 2 EPC irrigation projects in Madhya Pradesh. Our order book for these projects amounted to Rs.16,483.76 Lakhs as of March 31, 2017, accounting for 1% of our total order book.
Urban Development
We recently diversified into the urban development business. The recent trend in the urban development sector has provided us with an opportunity to diversify our business. We believe this sector may continue to grow during the next few years and thus plan to undertake projects in our core geographic markets. We commenced urban development projects in Madhya Pradesh in Financial Year 2013 to explore the opportunities created by the increased focus of the State Government on improving the living conditions of the underprivileged. In our urban development business, we undertake redevelopment and re-densification of government housing and build residential units under affordable housing schemes, construction of district court and other structures in group water supply schemes relating to irrigation or water supply for agricultural purposes.
We recognized revenue of 9,010.04 Lakhs from this business for Financial Year 2017. As of March 31, 2017, we were undertaking 3 EPC urban development projects in Madhya Pradesh. Our order book for these projects amounted to Rs. 21, 081.33 Lakhs as of March 31, 2017, accounting for 1.20% of our total order book.
Mining Project
DBL over a period of time has developed core strengths like fleet/equipment management, bulk material handling, high volume excavation and earth work, supply chain management etc. in its infrastructure and construction business. All these expertise of DBL enjoys close synergy with the mining business. As a part of diversification strategy and to exploit the existing strengths of the organization, DBL ventured into mining business, bagged contracts of Overburden/Waste Removal from Northern Coalfield Limited (NCL) and Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). In a very short span of 12 months DBL has achieved a remarkable excavation capacity of 2.50 Lakhs BCM per day in the most cost efficient manner and established new benchmarks for the Industry.

Goa Zuari Cable-stayed Bridge Project (status on 31.03.2017): This project mainly involves construction of the 640-meter long cable-stayed bridge, which will have a central span of 360 meters, and will approach across River Zuari on NH-17/NH-66 on Panjim-Mangalore section in the State of Goa. Further in the April 2016, we have also won Adjacent road connecting to Zuari Bridge namely package I & III costing to Rs. 85,770.00 Lakhs. Overall the company has won 3 projects in the state of Goa aggregating to Rs. 140,310.00 Lakhs.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS
In our infrastructure development business, we develop and maintain roads and highways on a BOT basis. As of March 31, 2017, we had completed 14 projects totalling 1,940.53 Lane kms in the states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh in India & we have 10 under construction projects comprising 1 pure toll & 9 hybrid annuity model projects totalling 2,507.47 Lane kms. in the states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh in India.
In respect of our completed projects, we operate 1 BOT project purely on a toll basis where the only source of revenue is the toll we charge vehicles for using the road, 3 BOT projects on annuity basis where the only source of revenue is the fixed amount that the relevant government agency pays us for building and maintaining the roads on an annual basis, and the remaining 10 projects on annuity plus toll basis, where we are entitled to both a fixed amount to be received annually in addition to the toll that we charge, with their respective concession periods ranging from 14 to 25 years. Due to the annuity component in our operational BOT projects, income is assured to the extent of the annuities to be collected during a year under the relevant concessions, thus reducing the risk of income fluctuations resulting from traffic pattern changes.
We currently undertake BOT/Hybrid projects opportunistically, considering factors such as their proximity to clusters where we are executing other projects to maximize efficiency of execution and profitability, and the potential cash flow from such projects after they become operational. Given our strategy and focus on providing EPC services, we may also evaluate opportunities to divest, either wholly or partially, our operational BOT assets, thereby freeing up capital invested in these projects for redeployment elsewhere.
Our Geographical Footprint
Starting with Madhya Pradesh, we have expanded into 16 other states, including Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Punjab, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Goa, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. Increasingly, our order book consists of orders from outside Madhya Pradesh, representing approximately 84.37% of our order book as of March 31, 2017, as compared to 60.00% as of March 31, 2016. We believe our geographically diversified portfolio gives us more leverage to hedge against risks in specific areas or projects and protects us from fluctuations resulting from business concentration in limited geographical areas. The following chart illustrates our geographical footprint as of March 31, 2017:

We currently undertake BOT projects opportunistically, considering factors such as their proximity to clusters where we are executing other projects to maximize efficiency of execution and profitability, and the potential cash flow from such projects after they become operational. Given our strategy and focus on providing EPC services, we may also evaluate opportunities to divest, either wholly or partially, our operational BOT assets, thereby freeing up capital invested in these projects for re-deployment elsewhere.
