2.15 Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the
Company has a present legal or constructive obligation
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting
the expected future cash flows (representing the best
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present
obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding
of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Expected
future operating losses are not provided for.
A provision for warranties is recognised when the
underlying products or services are sold. The provision
is based on technical evaluation, historical warranty
data and a weighting of all possible outcomes by their
associated probabilities.
A contract is considered to be onerous when the expected
economic benefits to be derived by the Company from
the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of
meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision
for an onerous contract 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 such a provision is made, the
Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets
associated with that contract.
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the
board has approved a detailed formal restructuring plan,
and the restructuring either has commenced or has been
announced publicly.
In accordance with the applicable legal requirements, a
provision for decommission of assets, which are taken
on lease, is recognised as per the terms of contract. The
provision is measured at the present value of the best
estimate of the cost of restoration.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and
commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a
possible obligation arising from past events, the existence
of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non¬
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the Company or a present
obligation that arises from past events where it is either
not probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be
made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor
disclosed in the standalone financial statements.
2.16 Exceptional items
An item of income or expense which its size, type or incidence
requires disclosure in order to improve an understanding of
the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional
item and the same is disclosed separately.
2.17 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component that engages in
business activities from which it may earn revenues and
incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that
relate to transactions with any of the other components,
and for which discrete financial information is available.
The Company has considered one business segment i.e.
Power generation, equipment & related services as the
primary reporting segment on the basis that the risk and
returns of the Company is primarily determined by the
nature of products and services.
Chief Operating Decision maker of Company is the
Managing Director, along with the Board of Directors,

2.18 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method,
whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or
accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or
payments and of past or future operating cash receipts
or payments and item of income or expenses associated
with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows
from operating, investing and financing activities of the
Company are segregated.
2.19 Sale/Transfer of Business under common control
Sale/Transfer of Business under common control Sale/
Transfer of business under common control includes
transferred business to entities which are ultimately/
intermediately controlled by the same party or parties
both before and after the business transfer and the
control is not transitory. In absence of guidance in Ind -AS
103, "Business Combination" appendix -C on accounting
treatment under such sale/transfer of business under
common control transaction, the management has
adopted accounting policy choice and used the fair
value accounting method for the transfer of business
under common control. This approach is considered by
management to best reflect the economic substance of
the transaction. Under this method:
⢠Any gain or loss arising from the difference between
the carrying amount and the fair value of the
transferred business calculated in accordance with
Ind AS 113 Fair Value Measurement and determined
by an independent fair value specialist is recognised
in profit or loss.
⢠Any difference between the fair value and the actual
consideration received is recognised in equity.
b. Terms / rights attached to equity shares

entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividends, if any, in Indian rupees. The dividend proposed
by the Board of Directors, if any, is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting,
except in case of interim dividend.

charges interest at an interest rate equal to the variable interest rate for each interest period plus the spread for pool leader''s
loans. Further, due to voluminous nature of transactions, movement for acceptance and repayment of loans from cash pool
arrangement has been disclosed on net basis.
Information about other provisions and significant estimates
Warranty - A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based
on technical evaluation, historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.
Contingencies/ others - Provision for contingencies represents estimates made mainly for probable claims arising out of
litigations / disputes pending with various authorities.
Loss orders - Provision for loss orders is created in onerous contracts. A contract is considered to be onerous when the
expected economic benefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting
its obligations under the contract. The provision for an onerous contract 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.
Disclosure given pursuant to Ind AS 115:
Revenue recognised/(reversal) during the current year from performance obligation satisfied [arising out of contract
modifications and / or change in estimates) in the previous periods ? (501.0) million (previous year 303.7 million] (net).
Performance obligation
Information about the company''s performance obligation are summarised below:
Construction contracts are ordinarily presumed to consist of combined obligations which are not distinct in the context
of the contract (i.e., single performance obligation). This is highly attributed to the long-term construction-nature of the
projects, whereby deliverables are typically highly interrelated and combined. The typical scope of long term contracts
arrangements includes a composite range of activities viz. engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction and
servicing etc. of power plants and equipment. Revenue from contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied
over time and other consideration, is recognized as per the percentage of completion method.
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the products passes to the customer.
Sale of services are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.
As of 31 March 2025, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied)
performance obligations was ? 26,623 million (previous year t 15,870 million). The conversion to revenue is highly
dependent on meeting the delivery schedules, contractual terms and conditions with customers, availability of customer
sites, changes/variation in scope /price etc. In view of these, it is not practical to define the accurate percentage of
conversion to revenue.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming
there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous
periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses.
II) Provident fund
In respect of certain eligible employees, the Company has a provident fund plan which is administered through a trust.
The Trust deed provides for the Company to make good any deficiency in the interest to be paid by the Trust to it''s
members and the income earned by it. Accordingly the plan is as a defined benefit plan. The Company has obtained
an actuarial valuation of the provident fund liability as at the Balance Sheet date and accordingly the Company has
recognised a provision of ? Nil million (previous year ? Nil million) towards provident fund liability.
An operating segment is a component that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses,
including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components, and for which discrete financial
information is available. The operating results of each of the functions are not considered individually by the Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM), the functions do not meet the requirements of Ind AS 108. Therefore Company''s business activity falls
within a single operating segment i.e. Power Generation equipment and related services.
Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of Company is the Managing Director, along with the Board of Directors, who review
the periodic results of the Company.
Accounting classifications and fair values
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in
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 :
1 Fair valuation of financial assets and liabilities with short term maturities is considered as approximate to respective
carrying amount due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
2 Fair value of non-current financial assets and liabilities has not been disclosed as there is no significant difference between
carrying value and fair value.
Measurement of fair values
Derivative instruments (assets and liabilities): Derivatives are fair valued using market observable rates and published prices for
similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
Financial risk relates to Company''s ability to meet financial obligations and mitigate exposure to broad market risks, including
volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and commodity prices; credit risk; and liquidity risk, including risk
related to our credit ratings and our availability and cost of funding. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from a customer
or counterparty failure to meet its contractual obligations. The Company faces credit risk in its industrial businesses, as well
as in derivative financial instruments activities. Liquidity risk refers to the potential inability to meet contractual or contingent
financial obligations (whether on- or off-balance sheet) as they arise, and could potentially impact Company financial condition
or overall safety and soundness.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the receivables from customers; loans and deposits.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However,
management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default
risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company also regularly assesses customer credit risk inherent in the carrying amounts of receivables and
contract costs and estimated earnings, including the risk that contractual penalties may not be sufficient to offset its
accumulated investment in the event of customer termination. The Company also gains insight into future utilization
and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through its knowledge of the installed base of equipment and the close interaction
with its customers that comes with supplying critical services and parts over extended periods.
The Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss
(including but not limited to external ratings, audited financial statements and collection plan and available press
information about customers) and applying experienced credit judgement.
(a) Expected credit loss on financial assets other than trade receivables :
With regards to all financial assets including security deposit amounting ? 62.1 million (previous year ? 69 million)
and other financial assets other than security deposits ? 122 million (previous year ?103 million) with contractual
cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit
risk.
The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity
to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible or nil and accordingly no provision for expected
credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Break up of financial assets other than trade receivables
have been disclosed on balance sheet.
(b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables
Based on assessment which is driven by the historical experience/ credit rating available in relation to default and delays
in collection thereof, the expected credit loss for trade receivables is estimated to be in the range of 8.7%-13.1%.
The amount of total allowance for credit loss is disclosed in Note 13 and the movement thereof during the years
ended 31 March 2025 and 31 March 2024 is tabulated below:
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is
to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal
and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The Company also monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans (comprising the undrawn
borrowing facilities) together with expected cash outflows on trade payables and other financial liabilities.
(C) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or 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 the interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market
risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency
receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency
transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional
currency (?). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company manages its foreign currency risk by entering into derivatives such as forward contracts. When a
derivative is entered into for the purpose of hedging, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match
the terms of the foreign currency exposure.
Ratios for variances have been explained for change by more than 25% as compared to the previous year.
45. The Company has a process whereby periodically all long term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed for
material foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required
under any law / accounting standards for material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts (including derivative
contracts) has been made in the books of account.
The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to
sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to
equity shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of
borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is total debt (including short term debt) divided by total capital plus debt.

e-voting, duly approved the sale of the Gas Power business undertaking of the Company as a going concern on a slump
sale basis (as defined under Section 2(42C) of the Income-tax Act, 1961), to GE Renewable Energy Technologies Private
Limited, a fellow subsidiary (common control entity) of the Company along with its respective assets and liabilities including
the consents, approvals, employees and contracts, for a lumpsum consideration of ? 438.6 million excluding all applicable
taxes. The consideration for the transfer was determined basis fair valuation by an independent valuer basis Discounted
Cash Flow (DCF) method.
Accordingly, the Gas Power business undertaking was classified as held for sale and as a discontinued operation. In line
with the requirements of Ind AS 105 "Non-current Assets Field for Sale and Discontinued Operations" effective 14 August,
2024, depreciation on tangible assets was discontinued. On 30 September, 2024, the sale was completed, and the Gas
Power business undertaking ceased to be a part of the Company''s operations with effect from that date. Consequently,
the financials for the previous periods relating to Gas Power business undertaking have been presented/re-presented in
the Statement of profit and loss and Statement of Cash Flows. The excess of consideration received over the carrying
value of net liability amounting to ? 583.4 million is recognized as a gain on sale of the Gas Power business undertaking and
presented under "Exceptional item" in the Statement of profit and loss.
(ii) On 10 July, 2024 the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Company, and on 14 August, 2024 the members of the Company

concern on a slump sale basis {as defined under Section 2(42C) of the Income-tax Act, 1961}, to GE Vernova Hydro Power
India Private Limited (formerly known as GE Power Electronics (India) Private Limited), a fellow subsidiary (common control
entity) of the Company along with its respective assets and liabilities including the consents, approvals, employees and
contracts, for a lumpsum consideration of ? 1/- excluding all applicable taxes.
The Undertaking was classified as held for sale and as a discontinued operation effective 14 August, 2024. In line with the
requirements of Ind AS 105 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operationsâ effective 14 August, 2024,
depreciation on tangible assets was discontinued. Consequently, the financial statements for the previous period relating
to Undertaking have been re-presented in the Statement of profit and loss and Statement of Cash Flows.
On 31 March 2025, the sale was completed, and the Undertaking ceased to be a part of the Company''s operations with
effect from that date. The Undertaking had a net liability of ? 2,978.9 million and fair value of negative ? 609.0 million
was determined by an independent valuer basis Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method as at the date of completion of
transaction i.e. 31 March 2025. Since, the transaction price of ? 1 is higher than the fair value of negative ? 609.0 million, in
accordance with the Accounting Policy of the Company, the gain of ? 2,369.9 million, difference between the net liability
and the fair value, has been credited to the statement of profit and loss as an exceptional item and the difference between
transaction price and fair value has been credited to equity.

On 17 April 2000 Alstom terminated the contracts due to breach by HPGC for nonpayment of milestone payments due. In May 2001 HPGC encashed the bank guarantees of the two Alstom entities. Alstom then invoked arbitration. Arbitration proceedings lasted 9 years and the tribunal issued a reasoned unanimous award in May 2010. HPGC then filed objections to the award in the district court of Panchkula and High Court of Chandigarh. Alstom won in all forums. Thereafter HPGC moved a special leave petition in the Supreme Court which is currently pending. Alstom / GE argued for and the Supreme court passed an order granting leave and issued an interim stay on the operation of the award, subject to payment of H 1,000 million (against bank guarantee).
The amount of H 1,000 million alongwith interest earned thereon amounting to H 488.9 million (previous year H 423.9 million) is thus held in trust pending final order and presented as "other current financial liabilities".
Warranty - A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on technical evaluation, historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.
Contingencies/ others - Provision for contingencies represents estimates made mainly for probable claims arising out of litigations / disputes pending with various authorities.
Loss orders - Provision for loss orders is created in onerous contracts. A contract is considered to be onerous when the expected economic benefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision for an onerous contract 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.
Information about the company''s performance obligation are summarised below:
Construction contracts are ordinarily presumed to consist of combined obligations which are not distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., single performance obligation). This is highly attributed to the long-term construction-nature of the projects, whereby deliverables are typically highly interrelated and combined. The typical scope of long term contracts arrangements includes a composite range of activities viz. engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction and servicing etc. of power plants and equipment. Revenue from contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and other consideration, is recognized as per the percentage of completion method.
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the products passes to the customer.
Sale of services are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.
As of 31 March 2024, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was H 33,090 million (previous year H 36,153 million). The conversion to revenue is highly dependent on meeting the delivery schedules, contractual terms and conditions with customers, availability of customer sites, changes/variation in scope /price etc. In view of these, it is not practical to define the accurate percentage of conversion to revenue.
34. GRATUITY AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS I) Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The plan is funded with an insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The following tables summarise the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the respective plans.
Future mortality rate is based on published rates under the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14) Ult table.
*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.
The expected contribution payable to the plan next year is H 80.0 million (31 March 2023 : H 80.0.million).
Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes in demographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points.
In respect of certain eligible employees, the Company has a provident fund plan which is administered through a trust. The Trust deed provides for the Company to make good any deficiency in the interest to be paid by the Trust to it''s members and the income earned by it. Accordingly the plan is as a defined benefit plan. The Company has obtained an actuarial valuation of the provident fund liability as at the Balance Sheet date and accordingly the Company has recognised a provision of H Nil million (previous year HNil million) towards provident fund liability.
Following tables summarise the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet, the total provident fund liability as per the Trust''s accounts and plan assets held by it are given below:
An operating segment is a component that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. The operating results of each of the functions are not considered individually by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), the functions do not meet the requirements of Ind AS 108. Therefore Company''s business activity falls within a single operating segment i.e. Power Generation equipment and related services.
Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of Company is the Managing Director, along with the Board of Directors, who review the periodic results of the Company.
As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company needs to spend at least two per cent of its average net profit for the immediately preceding three financial years on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. A ''Corporate Social Responsibility'' (CSR) Committee has been formed by the company as per the act. The CSR Committee and Board had approved the projects with specific outlay on the activities as specified in Schedule VII of the Act, in pursuance of the CSR Policy.
a) Gross amount required to be spent by the Company during the year is H nil (previous year H 0 million)
b) Amount voluntary spent during the year on :
Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for net of advances H 7.2 million (31 March 2023 : H 3.0 million)

Based on the favorable decision in similar cases / legal opinions taken by the Company / discussions with the solicitors etc., the Company believes that it has good cases in respect of all the items listed under (a) and (b) above and hence no provision is considered necessary.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in 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 :
1 Fair valuation of financial assets and liabilities with short term maturities is considered as approximate to respective carrying amount due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
2 Fair value of non-current financial assets and liabilities has not been disclosed as there is no significant difference between carrying value and fair value.
The following tables shows the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
For fair value hierarchy refer note 2.1.5.
Financial risk relates to Company''s ability to meet financial obligations and mitigate exposure to broad market risks, including volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and commodity prices; credit risk; and liquidity risk, including risk related to our credit ratings and our availability and cost of funding. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from a customer or counterparty failure to meet its contractual obligations. The Company faces credit risk in its industrial businesses, as well as in derivative financial instruments activities. Liquidity risk refers to the potential inability to meet contractual or contingent financial obligations (whether on- or off-balance sheet) as they arise, and could potentially impact Company financial condition or overall safety and soundness.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the receivables from customers; loans and deposits.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company also regularly assesses customer credit risk inherent in the carrying amounts of receivables and contract costs and estimated earnings, including the risk that contractual penalties may not be sufficient to offset its accumulated investment in the event of customer termination. The Company also gains insight into future utilization and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through its knowledge of the installed base of equipment and the close interaction with its customers that comes with supplying critical services and parts over extended periods.
The Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (including but not limited to external ratings, audited financial statements and collection plan and available press information about customers) and applying experienced credit judgement.
(a) Expected credit loss on financial assets other than trade receivables :
With regards to all financial assets including security deposit amounting H69 million (previous year H64 million) and other financial assets other than security deposits H 103 million (previous year H94 million) with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk.
The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible or nil and accordingly no provision for expected credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Break up of financial assets other than trade receivables have been disclosed on balance sheet.
(b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables
Based on assessment which is driven by the historical experience/ credit rating available in relation to default and delays in collection thereof, the expected credit loss for trade receivables is estimated to be in the range of 8%-11%.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation.
The Company also monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) together with expected cash outflows on trade payables and other financial liabilities.
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities as at the end of the reporting period:
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or 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 the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company manages its foreign currency risk by entering into derivatives such as forward contracts. When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of hedging, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the foreign currency exposure.
The Company exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in H million, are as follows
Company is exposed to the risk of price fluctuation in commodities including metals and alloys.The framework and governance mechanism in place to ensure that it is adequately protected from the market volatility. Company proactively manages these risks through sagacious contract negotiation, inventory management and proactive vendor development practices to the maximum extent possible.
Exposure of the Company to various commodities is as follows:
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 debt obligations with floating interest rates.
Exposure to Interest rate risk
The Company has the following exposure in interest bearing borrowings as on reporting date:
The Company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are, therefore, not subject to interest rate risk since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the interest rates
45 . The Company has a process whereby periodically all long term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed for material foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required under any law / accounting standards for material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts (including derivative contracts) has been made in the books of account.
a. During the current year ended 31 March 2024, there is no exceptional item
b. During the previous year ended 31 March 2023, the Company rationalised it''s manufacturing facility at Durgapur to meet the changing business demands and incurred cost of H 106.9 million, which has been disclosed under exceptional item.
The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
Under the globally designed employee share purchase plan (Plan), all the permanent employees of the Company get an opportunity to buy a stake in the General Electric Co, USA (being the ultimate holding Company). An employee can invest upto a maximum of 25% of their monthly salary (eligible for provident fund) in the shares of General Electric Co, USA. The Company makes a matching contribution of 15% on every purchase made by the employee. All share are bought at market price on the transaction date. The fair value of the share granted under the plan is determined on the basis of market value of the shares on the grant date. During the year, the following numbers of shares were purchased at the below mentioned weighted average fair value:
The employees are entitled to shares of General Electric Co., USA, the ultimate holding company. Details of these plan is given below.
The ultimate holding company (General Electric Co., USA) grant stock options, restricted stock units to employees under the 2007 and 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan post approval of Board of directors of ultimate holding company. Incentive stock options can be granted only to employees.
As restricted stock units (RSU''s) and stock options have been granted at the fair value of option on the grant date, therefore the Company measure and disclose the employee''s compensation expenses relating to restricted stock option units and stock options using the fair value.
The employees'' compensation expense for stock options & RSU''s during the year ended 31 March 2024 amounts to H 27.5 million as included under salaries and wages, charged in the statement of profit and loss during the year. Further, the Ultimate Holding Company raises charge to the Company for both stock options and RSUs.
The options become exercisable over the vesting period (typically three or five years) and expire 10 years from the grant date if not exercised. Restricted stock units (RSU) provide an employee with the right to receive shares of GE stock when the restrictions lapse over the vesting period.
49 . The Company had entered into an agreement with Navayuga Engineering Company Limited ("NECLâ) on 29 December
2017 for design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of 12 x 80MW capacity vertical full Kaplan Turbine generator along with all associated auxiliary and ancillary equipment. On 19 July 2019, the Company received an intimation from NECL for stopping all works on the project with immediate effect. On 12 March 2020, the Company terminated the contract due to prolonged suspension of work by NECL due to no certainty on resumption of work in the near future. Soon thereafter, NECL encashed the two advance bank guarantees (ABGs) amounting to INR 1,309.3 million and performance bank guarantee (PBG) amounting to INR 409.2 million. As on 31 March 2022, the Company has netted off such encashment of ABGs against the advances outstanding as on that date and presented the encashed PBG under Other non current assets. Based on an internal assessment and legal advice obtained, the management is of the view that NECL has unfairly encashed the bank guarantees without settling the Company''s claims as per the contract towards works performed. Based on available facts and management assessment, the Company expects favorable outcome through dispute resolution process. The Company has initiated the arbitration proceedings against NECL. The arbitration is ongoing. Witness cross examination has been completed. Next date of hearing is in July, 2024
50 . In respect of the fire incident on July 20, 2022, at the Flue Gas Desulphurization System project site at Solapur, Maharashtra,
leading to damage of certain items, the current estimated loss on account of this incident is H 997.5 million. The Company has filed its interim insurance claim against loss, net of deductibles, salvage value etc, of which it has received H 400 million in March 2024.
51. In respect of the fire incident on May 21, 2023, at the covered main store in the Flue Gas Desulphurization System project at NTPC Sipat, Chattissgarh, leading to damage of items stored therein, the estimated loss of H 694 million had been accounted under "Cost of material and erection servicesâ in the books of account for the year ended March 31, 2024. The Company had raised the first interim claim of H 100 million for on-account payment against the fire incident that occurred in the main store of Flue Gas Desulphurization System project at NTPC Sipat, Chhattisgarh on May 21, 2023. The Company received payment of H 100 million on 15th February 2024 towards the interim claim. Surveyor''s visits have been progressively carried out to assess the loss. The restoration works are in progress and are expected to be completed by end of December 2024.
52 . The Company has incurred significant losses during the current year ended 31 March 2024 and the previous two financial
years ended 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022. As at 31 March 2024, the net worth of the Company is H 573.5 million and current liabilities exceeds current assets by H 708.7 million. Considering, the business plan for next one year which have been approved by the Board of Directors, the Company is expected to generate cash from operations.
The funding requirement of the Company will be met through flow of funds from operations, unutilized cash pool facility from GE Group and unutilized credit facility from banks which has been approved by the shareholders of the Company in Annual General Meeting (AGM) dated 28 August 2023, Parent Corporate Guarantee on all fund based and non fund based facility obtained from banks which has been approved by the shareholders of the Company through Postal ballot dated 06 December 2023 and retention money expected to be realized within one year from the balance sheet date.
Based on above, the Company is capable of meeting its liabilities existing at the balance sheet date as and when they fall due for payments within a period of one year from the balance sheet date and the use of going concern assumptions has been considered appropriate by the Management in preparation of the above financial statements of the Company.
53 . The Company has established a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the
transfer pricing regulation under Sections 92-92F of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Since, the law requires existence of such information and documentation to be contemporaneous in nature, the Company continuously updates its documentation to determine whether the transactions entered into with the associated enterprises during the financial year on an arm''s length basis. The management is of the opinion that such transactions are at arm''s length so that the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.
54 . The Company is maintaining its proper books of account as required by law except for the keeping backup on daily basis
for such books of account maintained in electronic mode on the server physically located in India through out the year.
55. Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) vide its notification number G.S.R. 206(E) dated March 24, 2021 (amended from time to time) in reference to the proviso to Rule 3 (1) of the Companies (Accounts) Amendment Rules, 2021, introduced the requirement of only using such accounting software w.e.f April 01, 2023 which has a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in the books of account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled. The Institute of Chartered Accounts of India ("ICAIâ) issued an "Implementation guide on reporting on audit trail under rule 11(g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (Revised 2024 edition)â in February 2024 relating to feature of recording audit trail.
The Company has identified relevant applications that record financial transactions, along with the primary SAP system to which the aforementioned provision and guidance apply. Basis the applications identified, the Company has made an assessment that in respect of a) one accounting software has a feature of recording audit trails (edit log) facility which was enabled throughout the year at application level but not enabled at database level b) for other accounting software audit trail feature was not enabled, and c) other software operated by third party service organizations for maintenance of payroll records did not have the audit trail feature enabled.
SAP, as primary accounting software, is a highly integrated application and inherently logged all changes made to the books of account and has a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction at the application level and audit trail feature was not enabled at the database level.
Only authorized personnel have access to the underlying database for the purpose of system support after obtaining explicit permission from the Company. The Company has enabled logs at the database level which captures objects edited along-with timing and personnel identity. Any data changes would undergo inherent checks that are built onto application and any impermissible changes at the database level creates multiple errors like operational failure, corrupting of tables etc. and rule out the possibility of such changes.
The Company has established and maintained an adequate internal control framework and based on its assessment, believes that this was effective for the year ended March 31, 2024.
56. No funds have been advanced or loaned or invested (either from borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in any other person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign entities ("Intermediariesâ) with the understanding that the Intermediary shall lend or invest in party identified by or on behalf of the Company (Ultimate Beneficiaries). The Company has not received any fund from any party(s) (Funding Party) with the understanding that the Company shall whether, directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified by or on behalf of the Company ("Ultimate Beneficiariesâ) or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.
57. In line with the General Electric Company (GE) announcement dated 21 September 2020 to pursue exit from new build coal power market intimated to Stock Exchanges (BSE & NSE) by the Company on 22 September 2020, on 08 February 2022, GE Steam Power - Immediate Holding Company, had written to the Board of Directors of the Company conveying its intention to reduce its stake in the Company and de-promoterise within 36 months, which will be implemented in a staggered manner ("GEPIL Depromoterizationâ). Through this transition, GE intends to strengthen the Company to operate independently from GE and to achieve its long-term growth plans.
With effect from 02 April 2024 the ultimate holding company of GE Power India Limited has changed from General Electric Company to GE Vernova Inc. as intimated to the stock exchanges on 06 October 2023 and 03 April 2024. There is no update on the progress of GEPIL Depromoterization as of now.

*On 23 May 1997 Haryana Power Generation Corporation (HPGC) executed contracts with Alstom Germany and Alstom India (then ABB entities, predecessor in interest of the Alstom entities mentioned). On 17 April 2000 Alstom terminated the contracts due to breach by HPGC for non-payment of milestone payments due. In May 2001 HPGC encashed the bank guarantees of the two Alstom entities. Alstom then invoked arbitration. Arbitration proceedings lasted 9 years and the tribunal issued a reasoned unanimous award in May 2010. HPGC then filed objections to the award in the district court of Panchkula and High Court of Chandigarh. Alstom won in all forums. Thereafter HPGC moved a special leave petition in the Supreme Court which is currently pending. Alstom / GE argued for and the Supreme court passed an order granting leave and issued an interim stay on the operation of the award, subject to payment of RS. 1,000 million (against bank guarantee).
The amount of RS. 1,000 million alongwith interest thereon amounting to RS. 186.1 million (previous year RS. 104.9 million) (belonging to the two Alstom / GE entities) is thus held in trust pending final order and presented as âother current financial liabilitiesâ refer note 23.

Contingencies/ others - Provision for contingencies represents estimates made mainly for probable claims arising out of litigations / disputes pending with various authorities.
In accordance with Ind AS 18 on âRevenueâ and Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, revenue for the previous year ended 31 March 2018 has been reported gross of Excise duty and net of Value Added Tax (VAT)/ Sales Tax. Excise duty was reported as a separate expense line item in the previous year. Consequent to the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) with effect from July 2017, VAT/Sales Tax, Excise duty etc. have been subsumed into GST and accordingly the same is not recognised as part of sales as per the requirements of Ind AS 18.

2. GRATUITY AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
I) Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The plan is funded with an insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The following tables summarise the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the respective plans.
a) Amount recognised in balance sheet
b) Movement in benefit obligations
c) Movement in plan assets
d) Expenses recognised in the statement of profit and loss
e) Expenses recognised in other comprehensive income
The overall expected rate of return on assets is determined based on the market prices prevailing on that date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled.
f) Actuarial assumptions for gratuity:
Future mortality rate is based on published rates under the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-08) Ult table.
*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.
The expected contribution payable to the plan next year is RS. 80.0 million (31 March 2018 : RS. 80.0.million).
Projected plan cash flow
The table below shows the expected cash flow profile of the benefits to be paid to the current membership of the plan based on past service of the employees as at the valuation date :
The weighted average duration to the payment of these cash flow is 6.66 years (previous year 6.98 years). g) Sensitivity analysis
Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes in demographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses.
Information relating to sensitivity analysis for actuarial assumptions, other than disclosed above, including the methods and assumptions used in preparing the analysis, as required by paras 145 (a) and 145(b) respectively, of the Indian Accounting Standard - 19 âEmployee Benefitsâ is not available with the Company.
II) Provident fund
In respect of certain eligible employees, the Company has a provident fund plan which is administered through a trust. The Trust deed provides for the Company to make good any deficiency in the interest to be paid by the Trust to itâs members and the income earned by it. Accordingly the plan is as a defined benefit plan. The Company has obtained an actuarial valuation of the Provident fund liability as at the Balance Sheet date and accordingly the Company has recognised a provision of H Nil million (previous year HNil million) towards provident fund liability.
Following tables summarise the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the statement of profit and loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet, the total provident fund liability as per the Trustâs accounts and plan assets held by it are given below:
a) Amount recognised in balance sheet
b) Movement in benefit obligations
c) Movement in plan assets
d) Expenses recognised in the statement of profit and loss
e) Expenses recognised in other comprehensive income
f) The expected contribution payable to the plan next year is Rs. 113.2 million (31 March 2018 : 115.9 million). The weighted average duration to the payment is 7.48 years (31 March 2018 : 8.04 years).

6. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company needs to spend at least two per cent of its average net profit for the immediately preceding three financial years on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. A âCorporate Social Responsibilityâ (CSR) Committee has been formed by the company as per the act. The CSR Committee and Board had approved the projects with specific outlay on the activities as specified in Schedule VII of the Act, in pursuance of the CSR Policy.
a) Gross amount required to be spent by the Company during the year is H Nil (previous year RS. 10.2 million)
b) Amount spent during the year on :
7. CAPITAL AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
7.1 Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for net of advances RS. 19.9 million (31 March 2018 : RS. 32.7 million)
7.2 For commitments relating to lease arrangements, refer note 35 above and for other comittments refer note 2.14.
7.3 The Company has working capital facilities from:
a) Canara bank which is secured by first charge on pari passu basis by way of hypothecation of stocks and receivables of the Company on first pari passu basis with other banks under multiple banking arrangement. Available limit is H Nil (31 March 2018 : RS. 150 million).
b) ICICI bank which are secured by first charge on pari passu basis on the entire stocks and such other movables including book debts, bills, whether documentary or clean, both present and future. Available limit is RS. 100 million (31 March 2018 : RS. 100 million).
8. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Based on the favorable decision in similar cases / legal opinions taken by the Company / discussions with the solicitors etc., the Company believes that it has good cases in respect of all the items listed under (a) and (b) above and hence no provision is considered necessary.
On 28 February 2019, a judgment of the Supreme Court of India interpreting certain statutory defined contribution obligations of employees and employers (the âIndia Defined Contribution Obligationâ) altered historical understandings of such obligations, extending them to cover additional portions of the employeeâs income to measure obligations under employees Provident Fund Act, 1952. There is significant uncertainty as to how the liability should be calculated as it is impacted by multiple variables, including the period of assessment, the application with respect to certain current and former employees and whether interest and penalties may be assessed. Since the ruling, a variety of trade associations and industry groups have advocated to the Indian government, highlighting the harm to various industries/ sectors and job growth in India that would result from a retrospective application of the ruling. The Company anticipate the Indian government will review the matter and believe there is a substantial question as to whether the Indian government will apply the Supreme Courtâs ruling on a retrsopective basis. As such, the Company has been legally advised not to consider that there are any probable obligations for periods prior to date of aforesaid judgment. The Company is further evaluating its next course of action in this matter.
The Company does not expect any reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
9. DUES TO MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES
The Company has certain dues to suppliers registered under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (âMSMED Actâ). The disclosures pursuant to the said MSMED Act are as follows:
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION
A. Accounting classifications and fair values
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in 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 :
1 Fair valuation of financial assets and liabilities with short term maturities is considered as approximate to respective carrying amount due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
2 Fair value of non-current financial assets which includes security deposit has not been disclosed as there is no significant differences between carrying value and fair value.
The following tables shows the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
For fair value hierarchy refer note 2.1.5.
Significant estimates
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
11. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial risk relates to Companyâs ability to meet financial obligations and mitigate exposure to broad market risks, including volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and commodity prices; credit risk; and liquidity risk, including risk related to our credit ratings and our availability and cost of funding. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from a customer or counterparty failure to meet its contractual obligations. The Company faces credit risk in our industrial businesses, as well as in derivative financial instruments activities. Liquidity risk refers to the potential inability to meet contractual or contingent financial obligations (whether on- or off-balance sheet) as they arise, and could potentially impact Company financial condition or overall safety and soundness.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the receivables from customers; loans and deposits.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
(i) Credit risk management
The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company also regularly assesses customer credit risk inherent in the carrying amounts of receivables and contract costs and estimated earnings, including the risk that contractual penalties may not be sufficient to offset our accumulated investment in the event of customer termination. The Company also gains insight into future utilization and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through our knowledge of the installed base of equipment and the close interaction with our customers that comes with supplying critical services and parts over extended periods.
(ii) Provision for expected credit losses
The Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (including but not limited to external ratings, audited financial statements and cash flow projections and available press information about customers) and applying experienced credit judgement.
(a) Expected credit loss on financial assets other than trade receivables :
With regards to all financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk. The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible or nil and accordingly no provision for expected credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Break up of financial assets other than trade receivables have been disclosed on balance sheet.
(b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
Based on internal assessment which is driven by the historical experience/ current facts available in relation to default and delays in collection thereof, the expected credit loss for trade receivables is estimated to be in the range of 1%-2%.
The amount of total allowance for credit loss is disclosed in Note 13 and the movement thereof during the years ended 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018 is tabulated below:
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation.
The Company also monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) together with expected cash outflows on trade payables and other financial liabilities.
(i) Financing arrangements
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities as at the end of the reporting period:
(ii) Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
(C) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or 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 the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company uses the Fx forward instruments to hedge foreign exchange exposures.
Project exposures are hedged to a minimum of 75% once they are contractually binding, and hedges should match the associated cash flows and the contractually stipulated maturities of the project.
The Company designate entire forward contract at forward rate as the hedging instrument. Changes in the full fair value of the forward contract are accounted for through statement of profit and loss in accordance with the type of hedge (fair value hedge).
The Company exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in Rs. million, are as follows
Price risk
The Companyâs exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through OCI (note 43)
At the reporting date, the exposure to unlisted equity securities at fair value was RS. 26.7 million. A decrease of 10% or increase of 10% in fair value of unlisted equity securities could have an impact of approximately RS. 2.6 million on the OCI or equity. These changes would not have an effect on statement profit and loss.
12. The Company has a process whereby periodically all long term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed for material foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required under any law / accounting standards for material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts (including derivative contracts) has been made in the books of account.
13. EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS
Considering the current market situation, the Company has been rationalising its work force to match with the backlog and operating levels. During the current year, the Company had instituted a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) for its workmen at the Maneja (Vadodara) factory in August 2018, which was opted for by most workers. Consequently, considering viability, the plant operations at the factory were ceased with effect from 27 August 2018. The management is exploring various options to dispose off the land and building, including machinery and equipment related to the factory. These assets are therefore, classified as âAssets held for saleâ and are measured at carrying value or fair value whichever is less. Cost relating to restructuring Rs. 577.9 million (previous year for Rs. 1,427.0 million) and loss on assets held for sale carried out Rs. 345.0 million (previous year Rs. nil) is represented under exceptional item.
14. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Companyâs policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company is having Nil borrowings as on 31 March 2019 (31 March 2018 : Nil).
15. The Company has established a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents as required by the transfer pricing regulation under Sections 92-92F of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Since, the law requires existence of such information and documentation to be contemporaneous in nature, the Company continuously updates its documentation to determine whether the transactions entered into with the associated enterprises during the financial year on an armâs length basis. The management is of the opinion that such transactions are at armâs length so that the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.

3. GRATUITY AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a) Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The plan is funded with an insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The following tables summarise the components of net employee benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the respective plans.
b) Sensitivity analysis
Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes in demographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses.
Information relating to sensitivity analysis for actuarial assumptions, other than disclosed above, including the methods and assumptions used in preparing the analysis, as required by paras 145 (a) and 145(b) respectively, of the Indian Accounting Standard - 19 âEmployee Benefitsâ is not available with the Company.
c) Exceptional items
Over the past few years, capital investments in the power sector had slowed down and several projects had stalled due to external factors blocking Companyâs financial resources and creating large work in progress. All these led to lower sales and revenue generation impacting Companyâs financial performance. In the overall business interests of the Company, it was decided to right-size the scale of operations of the Company. This has led to rationalising the work force of the Company to match with the backlog and operating levels. Consequently, the Company has recognised the expense of RS.518.0 million (previous year H Nil).
This rationalisation is being carried on as part of the ongoing steps taken by the Company to reduce the operating costs and improve the competitiveness.
I) Provident Fund
In respect of certain eligible employees, the Company has a provident fund plan which is administered through a trust. The Trust deed provides for the Company to make good any deficiency in the interest to be paid by the Trust to itâs members and the income earned by it. Accordingly the plan is as a defined benefit plan. The Company has obtained an actuarial valuation of the Provident fund liability as at the Balance Sheet date and accordingly the Company has recognised a provision of H Nil million (previous year H Nil million) towards provident fund liability. The Actuary has not provided the other details to meet the disclosure requirement of the Indian Accounting Standard 19 âEmployee Benefitsâ and accordingly the disclosures included are limited to the extent of those provided by the Actuary.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION
A. Accounting classifications and fair values
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in 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 :
1 Fair valuation of financial assets and liabilities, short term maturities is considered as approximate to respective carrying amount due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
2 Fair value of non current financial assets which includes security deposits has not been disclosed as there is no significant differences between carrying value and face value.
3 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 following tables shows the carrying amounts and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
Significant estimates
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgement to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
12. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial risk relates to Companyâs ability to meet financial obligations and mitigate exposure to broad market risks, including volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and commodity prices; credit risk; and liquidity risk, including risk related to our credit ratings and our availability and cost of funding. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from a customer or counterparty failure to meet its contractual obligations. The Company face credit risk in our industrial businesses, as well as in derivative financial instruments activities. Liquidity risk refers to the potential inability to meet contractual or contingent financial obligations (whether on- or off-balance sheet) as they arise, and could potentially impact Company financial condition or overall safety and soundness.
(A) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the receivables from customers; loans and deposits.
The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
(i) Credit risk management
The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate.
The Company also regularly assess customer credit risk inherent in the carrying amounts of receivables and contract costs and estimated earnings, including the risk that contractual penalties may not be sufficient to offset our accumulated investment in the event of customer termination. The Company also gain insight into future utilization and cost trends, as well as credit risk, through our knowledge of the installed base of equipment and the close interaction with our customers that comes with supplying critical services and parts over extended periods.
The Company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.
A 1 : High-quality assets, negligible credit risk
A 2 : Quality assets, low credit risk
A 3 : Standard assets, moderate credit risk
A 4 : Substandard assets, relatively high credit risk
A 5 : Low quality assets, very high credit risk
A 6 : Doubtful assets, credit-impaired
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 3 years of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other economic factors.
(ii) Provision for expected credit losses
The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (including but not limited to external ratings, audited financial statements, management accounts and cash flow projections and available press information about customers) and applying experienced credit judgement. Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of loss. The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:
Year ended 31 March 2017:
(a) Expected credit loss on financial assets other than trade receivables:
With regards to all financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk. The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible or nil and accordingly no provision for expected credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Break up of financial assets other than trade receivables have been disclosed on balance sheet.
(b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach:
Based on internal assessment which is driven by the historical experience/ current facts available in relation to default and delays in collection thereof, the expected credit loss for trade receivables is estimated to be in the range of 1%-2%. While the amount of total allowance for credit loss is disclosed in Note 13, the movement thereof during the years ended 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016 is tabulated below:
(B) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation.
The Company also monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities) together with expected cash outflows on trade payables and other financial liabilities.
(i) Financing arrangements
The Company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities as at the end of the reporting period:
(ii) Exposure to liquidity risk
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.
(C) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or 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 the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
(i) Foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company use the FX forward instruments to hedge foreign exchange exposures.
Project exposures are hedged to a minimum of 75% once they are contractually binding, and hedges should match the associated cash flows and the contractually stipulated maturities of the project.
The Company designate entire forward contract at forward rate as the hedging instrument. Changes in the full fair value of the forward contract are accounted for through statement of profit and loss in accordance with the type of hedge (fair value hedge).
Price risk
The Companyâs exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through OCI (note 44)
At the reporting date, the exposure to unlisted equity securities at fair value was 26.7 MINR. A decrease of 10% or increase of 10% in fair value of unlisted equity securities could have an impact of approximately 2.6 MINR on the OCI or equity. These changes would not have an effect on profit or loss.
13. CAPITAL management
The Companyâs policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends to equity shareholders.
The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Company is having nil borrowings as on 31 March 2017 (31 March 2016 : Nil ; 1 April 2015 : Nil ).
14. EXPLANATION OF TRANSITION TO IND AS
These are the Companyâs first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The accounting policies set out in note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2015 (the Companyâs date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its financial statements prepared in accordance with previous GAAP and an explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Companyâs financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.
A. Exemptions and exceptions availed
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
A.1 Ind AS Optional Exemptions
A.1.1 Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets.
Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value. Hence, the carrying value of all property plant and equipments, as on 1 April 2015, has been taken as deemed cost under Ind AS.
Consequently, the amount standing in revaluation reserve as on 1 April 2015, RS.33.9 million, corresponding to those property plant and equipments have been transferred to general reserve. Recoupment from revaluation reserve of RS.2.5 million made during the period ended 31 March 2016 has also been reversed with a corresponding impact on general reserve.
A.1.2 Designation of previously recognised financial instrument
Ind AS 101 permits an entity to designate particular equity investments (other than equity investments in subsidiaries) as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) based on facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS (rather than at initial recognition). Other equity investments are classified at fair value through statement of profit and loss (FVTPL).
The Company has elected to apply this exemption for its investment in equity investments at FVOCI.
A.2 Ind AS mandatory exemptions
A.2.1 Hedge accounting
Hedge accounting can only be applied prospectively from the transition date to transactions that satisfy the hedge accounting criteria in Ind AS 109, at that date.
The Company had designated various hedging relationships as cash flow hedges and fair value hedges under the previous GAAP. On date of transition to Ind AS, the Company had assessed that all the designated hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting as per Ind AS 109. Consequently, the Company continues to apply hedge accounting on and after the date of transition to Ind AS.
A.2.2 Estimates
As per Ind AS 101, an entityâs estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS at the end of the comparative period presented in the entityâs first Ind AS financial statements, as the case may be, should be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with the previous GAAP unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. However, the estimates should be adjusted to reflect any differences in accounting policies.
As per Ind AS 101, where application of Ind AS requires an entity to make certain estimates that were not required under previous GAAP, those estimates should be made to reflect conditions that existed at the date of transition (for preparing opening Ind AS balance sheet) or at the end of the comparative period (for presenting comparative information as per Ind AS).
The Companyâs estimates under Ind AS are consistent with the above requirement. Key estimates considered in preparation of the financial statements that were not required under the previous GAAP are listed below:
(a) Investment in equity instruments carried at FVOCI;
(b) Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.
(c) Determination of the discounted value for financial instruments carried at amortised cost.
A.2.3 Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortised cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable.
Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of the financial assets accounted at amortised cost has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.
B.1 Discounting of financial assets and liabilities
Under previous GAAP, financial assets and liabilities are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, such items are required to be recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently at amortised cost.
The fair value of such transaction on initial date is determined by applying effective interest method. The difference between the fair value and transaction value on the transaction date is recognized as deferred income/ charge and included in the underlying respective line item (for which the transaction was entered into) following a systematic manner or straight line method, as considered appropriate. The fair value is then accreted to the maturity value using effective interest rate method with corresponding adjustment to finance income/ finance cost, as applicable.
B.2 Trade receivables : expected credit losses
As per Ind AS 109, the Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowance for doubtful debts instead of incurrence based recognition under previous GAAP. This resulted in recognition of additional allowance for credit loss.
B.3 De-commissioning Costs
Under the previous GAAP, the Company was not required to identify any decommissioning costs or asset retirement obligations. However, Ind AS 16 provides that the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
B.4 Lease equalisation reserve
Under previous GAAP, lease rentals for an operating lease, were required to be recognized as expense on a straight line basis over the lease term by recognizing corresponding lease equalization reserve. However, Under Ind AS, there is no such requirement unless under specific circumstances specified in the Ind AS.
B.5 Unamortised premium on forward contracts
Under Ind AS, unlike previous GAAP, there is no requirement to disclose premium on forward contracts as assets as well as liabilities.
B.6 Proposed dividend
Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognised as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting.
B.7 Mark to market gains
Under previous GAAP, recognition of gains on derivative contracts (including forward exchange contracts which were outside the scope of Accounting Standard 11) was not permitted. Under Ind AS, such gains are also required to be recognised.
B.8 Remeasurement of post-employment benefit obligations
Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amount included in the net interest expenses on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of statement of profit and loss. Under the previous GAAP, these measurement were forming part of statement of profit and loss for the year.
B.9 Prior period adjustments
Based on facts available as of earlier period dates, certain adjustments as described below were concluded as prior period items and thus recorded as adjustments to opening retained earnings for amounts relating to period prior to 1 April 2015 and through statement of profit and loss for the amounts pertaining to year ended 31 March 2016:
- Provision for contingencies/others amounting to RS.337.0 million pertaining to years prior to 1 April 2015 and RS.31.0 million pertaining to year ended 31 March 2016.
- Reversal of excess royalty provision of RS.83.9 million pertaining to periods prior to 1 April 2015 and RS.180.5 million pertaining to previous year ended 31 March 2016.
- Consequent to re-evaluation of costs to come of certain projects amounting to RS.227.8 million which was pertaining to periods prior to 1 April 2015.
- reversal of cash flow hedge reserve amounting to RS.248.1 million as on 1 April 2015 on re assessment of nature of hedging instruments.
B.10 Deferred tax assets
Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind-AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to different temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Company has to account for such differences. Tax effect relating to prior period adjustments is recorded in the periods in which those prior period adjustments have been recorded.

Mar 31, 2012
A. Terms / rights attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of
Rs. 10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote
per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees.
The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the
approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
In the event of liquidation of Company, the holders of equity shares
will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after
distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in
proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
During the year ended 31 March 2012, the amount of dividend per share
recognized as distribution to equity shareholders was Rs. 10 (Previous
Year 31 March 2011: Rs. 10).
b. Shares allotted as fully paid up pursuant to contract(s) without
payment being received in cash (during 5 years immediately preceding 31
March 2012) 6,097,561 Equity shares of Rs. 10 each to be issued with
effect from April 1, 2011 to the erstwhile shareholders of ALSTOM
Holdings (India) Limited pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation without

hypothecation of assets underlying the leases.

*Disclosed under Long term Loans and Advances (refer note 15)
Provision for tax litigation/ disputes represents amounts that the
Company is likely to pay on account of demands raised by Tax
authorities which have been disputed by the Company. Due to the very
nature of the above costs, it is not possible to estimate the timing/
uncertainties relating to their outcome.
Provision for warranty represents estimated costs that the Company is
likely to incur during the warranty periods as per the contract
obligations in respect of completed construction contracts accounted
under AS 7 (Revised) " Construction Contracts". Warranty costs are
estimated on the basis of contractual agreement, technical evaluation
and past experience. The timing of outflows is expected to be as per
warranty periods as specified in various contracts. Provision for
warranty is treated as current since the Company does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement of obligation beyond the period
of twelve months.
1. Gratuity and other post-employment benefit plans
I) Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan that operates through
a Trust. Every employee who has completed five years or more of
service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn
salary) for each completed year of service. The plan is funded with an
insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and the funded status
and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for the respective plans.
The overall expected rate of return on assets is determined based on
the market prices prevailing on that date, applicable to the period
over which the obligation is to be settled.
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.
Note:
a) Information relating to experience adjustment in the actuarial
valuation of gratuity as required by Para 120(n)(ii) of the Accounting
Standard 15 on Employee Benefits is not available with the Company.
b) The Company's expected contribution to the fund in the next year is
not presently ascertainable and hence, the contribution expected to be
paid to the plan during the annual period beginning after the balance
sheet date as required by para 120 (o) of the Accounting Standard à 15
on Employee Benefits are not disclosed.
II) Provident Fund
In respect of certain eligible employees, the Company has a provident
fund plan which is administered through a trust. The Trust deed
provides for the Company to make good any deficiency in the interest
to be paid by the Trust to it's members and the income earned by it.
Accordingly the plan is as a defined benefit plan. Consequent to the
Actuarial Society of India issuing a guidance note on the valuation of
provident fund liability, the Company has obtained an actuarial
valuation of the Provident fund liability as at the Balance Sheet date.
Accordingly the Company has recognised a provision of Rs. 4.1 million
towards provident fund liability based on the Actuarial valuation. The
Actuary has not provided the other details to meet the disclosure
requirement of the Accounting Standard 15 "Employee Benefits" and
accordingly the disclosures included are limited to the extent of those
provided by the Actuary.
*Included under Employee Benefit Expense in the head Contribution to
Provident and Other Funds.
Leasehold improvements include assets costing Rs. 16.4 million
(previous year - Rs. 16.4 million) on finance lease. The lease term is

subject to the finalisation of the agreement at the Group level, into
its wholly owned subsidiary Company, ALSTOM Boilers India Limited
("ABIL") with the Appointed Date of 1 April 2011. The decision was
intimated to the stock exchanges on the same date. The Boiler business
is part of the Power segment as per Accounting Standard 17 "Segment
Reporting". On the basis of the valuation undertaken by an independent

ratio of 1:1, meaning that every shareholder of the Company holding 1
(one) fully paid- up equity shares of Rs.10 (Rupees ten) each in the
Company as on the record date (as determined in terms of the Scheme of
Demerger) shall, upon sanction of the Scheme of Demerger and upon its
becoming effective, be entitled to receive 1 (one) fully paid-up equity
