outcomes. NBCC has implemented a Risk Management
Policy designed to mitigate these risks while developing
and executing strategies and objectives aimed at long-term
sustainability. The policy also assists NBCC in managing
risks within its daily operations to achieve stated objectives.

NBCC uses a three-tier reporting structure for
risk management:

Top level: The Risk Management Committee consists of
functional Directors {Director (Projects), Director (Finance)
and Director (Commercial)} and two Independent Directors.

Middle level: The Risk Assessment Committee includes the
Heads of Departments for Business Development, Finance,
IT, Law & Real Estate, with the Executive Director (PMG)
serving as Chief Risk Officer.

Development & Implementation of Risk
Management Framework

NBCC (India) Limited has established a robust and dynamic
Risk Management framework aligned with ISO 31000:2018
and other global best practices. The Company recognizes
the importance of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks
proactively to ensure sustainable business growth. The
Risk Management Policy, last revised in 2022, provides a
comprehensive mechanism for managing risks at both the
enterprise and project levels.

The policy outlines a structured process involving identification
of key risks, prioritization based on impact and likelihood,
formulation of mitigation plans, and regular monitoring and
reporting. A dedicated Risk Management Committee (RMC),
supported by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), Risk Assessment
Committee (RAC), and designated Risk Coordinators,
oversees the risk governance framework across all functions
and project sites. The policy is applicable to all business
verticals—Project Management Consultancy (PMC), Real
Estate Development (RED), and Engineering Procurement
& Construction (EPC)—and addresses both routine and
non-routine risks, including those arising from regulatory
changes, operational complexities, and external factors.

The Board is periodically updated on the key risks and the
effectiveness of mitigation strategies, thereby embedding risk
awareness across the organizational culture and decision¬
making processes.

Risks, Threats and Concerns:

The challenges for the company are to sustain the
growth trajectory.

Market Volatility: Current market is in up and down position.
Due to which tender quoted by party abnormally high or low
in current scenario. This situation is very volatile. The risks
arising out of the situation of fluctuation of current market
includes disruption of supply chain for various materials/non-
availability of labour affecting progress of works at sites.

Project Execution and Management: Inability to ensure
seamless and timely execution of projects within the defined
budget leads to litigation with client and contractors, resulting
in reduced profitability and operating margin of the project.
Any failure to adhere to agreed timelines adversely affect the
reputation of the Company especially in execution of Border
fencing and Road works is heavily affected in execution due
to issues in Land acquisition and obtaining clearance from
Bangladesh Government/ Bangladesh Border Guard and
Local issues and land compensation.

Real Estate - Unsold Inventory/ Unused Land Parcels:
Presently there is substantial unsold inventory and
unused land parcels in NBCC Real Estate posing a risk
to the Company.

Re-development Projects: Legal hurdles, including court
stays and delayed statutory approvals, have impacted
project execution and funding. Due to legal issues/court stay
order, sales & marketing was affected in Nauroji Nagar. The
clearance for statutory authorities also is taking considerable
time which in turn affecting project progress in Netaji Nagar
& Sarojni Nagar.

Aged Receivables and Payables: Delays associated with
the collection of receivables from the clients, results in further
delayed payment to the contractor, leading to litigations, cost
& time overrun in addition to Expected Credit Loss (ECL).

Taking Over External Projects: Any unforeseen liability in
connection with the takeover of external projects leads to
litigations and may adversely affect business and financial
condition of NBCC.

Competition Risk: The entry of other PSUs into the
construction space has heightened competition, often
leading to aggressive pricing and lower PMC charges. This
erodes NBCC’s market share and profitability.

Expansion into New Business Areas: Venturing into
sectors like tunneling, dams, highways, and port development
requires substantial investment in skilled manpower and
machinery. Resource constraints in these areas could
impede successful diversification.

Strategic, Operational, Financial & Compliance Risks

NBCC is exposed to:

•    Strategic Risks: Rapid technology changes, pricing
pressures, and political or social uncertainties.

•    Operational Risks: Delayed site handovers, unstable
cash flows, and resource constraints.

•    Financial Risks: Client-side payment delays hampering
project cash cycles and contractor payments.

•    Compliance Risks:    Delays in obtaining

statutory clearances affect project timelines and
regulatory compliance.

The Company remains committed to mitigating these risks
through a proactive risk management framework, as detailed
in its Risk Management Policy.

Disclosure on Risk Management Framework & Risk
Management Policy

The Project Risk Management (PRM) framework at project
level and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework
at enterprise level has been included in the updated Risk
Management Policy-2022.

Internal Financial Control

NBCC has established robust internal financial controls to
ensure compliance with the financial reporting requirements
set forth in Section 134(5)(e) of the Companies Act, 2013.
These internal controls are functioning effectively, as
confirmed by our statutory auditors. Additionally, we engage

Conservation of Energy, Technology Absorption
and Foreign Exchange Earnings and Out-go

A) Conservation of Energy:

Materials used in construction are derived from different
raw materials (ores, wood, and oil or plant origin). They
have different energy requirement for its production,
transformation, & transportation. Also they have
varying degradability. As such, materials used in the
construction have different embedded energy are not
equal in terms of their impact on environment.

i) Steps undertaken for Conservation of Energy

NBCC encourages development of designs and
practices which conserve energy and resources, As
such, NBCC sponsors several Research Projects
aimed developing new sustainable construction
materials which have lower embedded energy and help
reduce overall carbon footprint. Some of the projects
sponsored under this theme are identified as under:-

a.    Design & development of thermally
efficient walling unit

b.    Extraction of nano-materials from agricultural
waste residue and its applications in the
construction industry

c.    Creating Innovative structural systems for
housing using straw and stubble

d.    An efficient sustainable concrete construction
with GGBS based GRAC with inclusion of
waste products

e.    Development of eco-friendly Heat Reflective
Bricks and manufacturing of eco-friendly
shuttering material from various Agro-wastes

f.    Research and Development Opportunities in
Net-Zero Carbon Built Environment

g.    Impact Assessment Of    Water Bodies,

Watershed Management    And Perennial

Plantation Interventions On Sustainable

Human Resource Development

During the financial year 2023-24, Human Resource Management teams played a crucial role as the transition in top management positions unfolded. Under the eminent leadership our new CMD who assumed the charge on October 01, 2023, the resilient and dedicated Human Resources teams embarked on a journey of success.

In October 2023, the CMD's inaugural address infused all employees with renewed hope, aspiration, and a sense of responsibility. The Human Resource teams, with unwavering efforts, prioritized tasks and effectively managed time, contributing to the achievement of the company's common goals across all fronts.

Decisions and actions were data-driven and evidence-based, ensuring a strategic approach. The top business heads, leveraging their knowledge and abilities, efficiently addressed workplace issues, ensuring timely completion of tasks and deadlines. NBCC achieved the coveted accreditation “The Great Place to Work'. This recognition reflects the team's positive mind-set towards the company.

The Human Resource Management team provided ample opportunities for professional growth and development to meet the evolving needs of the organization. Recognizing the importance of a healthy workforce, the top management made several employee welfare related decisions, including providing free health insurance to the regular employees and their families. Additionally, as part of the grand event "Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsv", throughout the year NBCC frequently

organized Medical Health Camps across all Construction Work Sites and Offices for employees and construction workers. These camps aimed to promote well- being and address health-related concerns.

Yoga sessions and mental health programs were organized on various occasions, emphasizing holistic wellness. Furthermore, the HR team ensured that employees had access to information and awareness about POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) and human rights through comprehensive training programs.

Regular interactive and open discussion sessions with employees facilitated open communication, allowing management to understand issues and take necessary actions promptly. The success of Company was significantly impacted by strategic planning, resorting proactive measures, and innovative solutions put forth by the Human Recourses. The approach adopted by the Management, facilitated success in attracting, engaging, and retaining the talent.

The Human Resource Management team prioritized the physical and mental health of employees and strategically focused on enhancing the employee job satisfaction. Recognizing that, the job satisfaction not only contributes to talent retention and attraction, but also positively impacts employee mental health and, consequently, work performance, the top management implemented several employee welfare schemes.

Risks, Threats and Concerns:

The challenges for the company are to sustain the growth trajectory.

a.    Fluctuation of Market:

Current market is in up and down position. Due to which tender quoted by party abnormally high or low in current scenario. This situation is very volatile. The risks arising out of the situation of fluctuation of current market includes disruption of supply chain for various materials/non-availability of labour affecting progress of works at sites.

b.    Project Execution and Management:

Inability to ensure seamless and timely execution of projects within the defined budget leads to litigation with client and contractors, resulting in reduced profitability and operating margin of the project. Any failure to adhere

to agreed timelines adversely affect the reputation of the Company especially in execution of Border fencing and Road works is heavily affected in execution due to issues in Land acquisition and obtaining clearance from Bangladesh Government/ Bangladesh Border Guard and Local issues and land compensation.

c.    Real Estate-Unsold Inventory/Unused Land Parcels:

Presently there is substantial unsold inventory and unused land parcels in NBCC Real Estate posing a risk to the company.

d.    Re-development Projects:

Inability to assess or identify the risks and liabilities during feasibility studies, adversely affect the business. Due to legal issues/court stay order, sales & marketing was affected in Nauroji Nagar, due to which NBCC could not raise fund from the market which has affected the pace of works. The clearance for statutory authorities also is taking considerable time which in turn affecting project progress in Netaji Nagar & Sarojni Nagar

e.    Aged Receivables and Payables:

Delays associated with the collection of receivables from the clients, results in further delayed payment to the contractor, leading to litigations, cost & time overrun in addition to ECL

f.    Taking Over External Projects (Unitech, Amrapali etc.):

Any unforeseen liability in connection with the takeover of external projects leads to litigations and may adversely affect business and financial condition of NBCC

g.    Competition Risk:

Other PSU's have started operating in construction sector and are quoting very low rates and getting jobs by competing against NBCC. This is resulting in erosion of the core PMC business of the company and low PMC charges. The resultant loss of business and low PMC margin could slow momentum and profitability.

h.    Entering into New Business Era:

Resources issues in entry into new business such as Tunnelling works, Dams, Railway and National Highway, Harbour and Port works for that NBCC needs sufficient resources like experienced Engineers, Machineries, etc.

Strategic, Operational, Financial and Compliance Risks:

Adapting the evolving technology, undercutting other companies in price wars, unanticipated political factors and social issues are some of the strategic issues faced by NBCC in today's era of market.

Free encumbrance work front is not made available by various Client which causes an Operational Risk for the company. Unstable cash flow is one of the prominent Operational Risk which affects the overall performance of the company as a whole and major Financial Risk is delay in payment from Clients adversely affects the work progress of a project, as because of delay from Client company is unable to make timely payment to contactor and hence the work progress is delayed.

Obtaining various clearances from various authorities in time is a necessity in order to meet all the legal obligations and eliminate the Compliance Risks but the delay in the same causes delay in execution of project.

Risks, Threats and Concerns: NBCC faces a range of challenges as it strives to maintain its growth trajectory. These include:

a. Fluctuations in the Market:

The current market is volatile, leading to abnormal tender quotes from parties. This can cause disruptions to the supply chain for materials and labour shortages, affecting progress on works at various sites.

b. Project Execution and Management:

The inability to execute projects within the defined budget and timeline can lead to litigations with clients and contractors, reducing profitability and operating margins. Issues with land acquisition and government clearances can heavily affect execution in border fencing and road works.

c. Real Estate - Unsold Inventory/Unused Land Parcels:

Unsold inventory and unused land parcels in Real Estate is posing a risk to the Company.

d. Re-development Projects:

Failure to identify risks during feasibility studies can adversely affect the Company''s business. Legal issues and court-ordered stays can also slow down progress on projects. The clearance for statutory authorities if taking time affects project progress.

e. Aged Receivables and Payables:

Delays in collecting receivables from clients can lead to further payment delays to contractors, resulting in litigations, cost overruns, and ECL.

f. Taking Over External Projects (Unitech, Amrapali etc.):

Any unforeseen liabilities associated with the takeover of external projects can lead to litigation and adversely affect the Company''s financial condition of the Company.

g. Competition Risk:

Increased competition from other PSUs entering the construction sector and quoting lower rates can lead to loss of business and low PMC margins, slowing down momentum and profitability.

Entering into New Business Era:

Entry into new business areas such as tunneling works, dams, railways, national highways, and ports requires sufficient resources like experienced engineers and machinery, which can be challenging.

Strategic, Operational, Financial and Compliance Risks:

Adapting the evolving technology, undercutting other companies in price wars, unanticipated political factors and social issues are some of the strategic issues faced by NBCC in today''s era of market.

Operational risks include client delays in providing encumbrance free land and unstable cash flow. Major Financial Risk is delay in payment from clients which adversely affects the work progress of a project as this result in delay in payment to contractor. Compliance risks arise from obtaining clearances from various authorities in a timely manner. Any delays can affect project execution and overall performance.

Risks, Threats and Concerns: The challenges for the company are to sustain the growth trajectory.

a. The crisis arising out of COVID-19 pandemic: There has been disruption in the progress of works at all ongoing sites subsequent to nationwide lockdown from 23.03.2020. However, subsequent to partial easing of restrictions works have been resumed in sites with available labour at site except in those States where restrictions continued due to increase in Covid-19 cases, so also in containment zones. With the easing of restrictions by Govt; the problem was compounded with migrant labour leaving for native states and remobilizing of labour remains a big issue

The risks arising out of the pandemic includes disruption of supply chain for various materials/non-availability of labour affecting progress of works at sites.

b. Project Execution and Management: Inability to ensure seamless and timely execution of projects within the defined budget leads to litigation with client and contractors, resulting in reduced profitability and operating margin of the project. Any failure to adhere to agreed timelines adversely affect the reputation of the Company.

c. Real Estate (Unsold Inventory/ Unused Land Parcels): Presently there is substantial unsold inventory and unused land parcels in NBCC Real Estate posing a risk to the Company.

d. Re-development Projects: Inability to assess or identify the risks and liabilities during feasibility studies, adversely affect the business. Legal issues/court stay order and recent pandemic scenario also affected the pace of work and sales & marketing in some redevelopment projects.

e. Aged Receivables and Payables: Delays associated with the collection of receivables from the clients, results in further delayed payment to the contractor, leading to litigations, cost & time overrun in addition to Expected Credit Loss (ECL).

f. Competition Risk: Other PSU''s have started operating in construction sector and are quoting very low rates and geffing jobs by competing against NBCC. This is resulting in erosion of the core PMC business of the company and low PMC charges. The resultant loss of business and low PMC margin could slow momentum and profitability.

g. Taking Over External Projects (Unitech, Amrapali etc.): Any unforeseen liability in connection with the takeover of external projects leads to litigations and may adversely affect business and financial condition of NBCC.

Internal Financial Control

The Company has designed and implemented a process driven framework for Internal Financial Controls (IFC) within the meaning of the explanation to Section 134(5) (e) of the Companies Act, 2013.

SHARE CAPITAL AND DISINVESTMENT

Employee Share Sale

Pursuant to OFS in October, 2016, Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) offered equity shares to NBCC''s employees under employee quota. The offer price was Rs 156.12 per share considering the discount offered to employees and bonus impact.

The offer period was open from December 28, 2017 to January 5, 2018 and 19,19,416 Equity Shares of Rs. 2/- each were purchased at the consideration of Rs. 29,96,59,225.92.

Split of Shares:

During the financial year 2018-19, One Equity Share of Rs. 2/- each was split into two Equity Shares of Rs. 1/- each and accordingly Company''s paid-up Equity Shares Capital is Rs. 180 Cr. divided into 180 Cr. Equity Shares of Rs 1/- each.

MoU PERFORMANCE

Based on the MoU parameters, NBCC is expected to be slated "Excellent". The Company has achieved Revenue from operations Rs. 5905.01 Crore (Rs. 1260.56 Cr. Pre GST* era turnover, Rs. 4611.13 Cr. Post GST era turnover and Rs. 33.32 Cr. Other Operating Income) during the financial year 2017-18 against MOU target (Excellent) of Rs. 6850.00 Crore. The under achievement is mainly attributable towards the restructuring of Indirect taxes, forming a part of cost of operations, thus included in turnover in pre GST era. After introduction of GST, the biggest tax reform in India after Independence, w.e.f July 01, 2017, the indirect taxes earlier forming a part of cost of operations were subsumed in GST which no longer are included in cost of operation.

The cascading effects of the indirect taxes in-built in the pricing structure was estimated around 25% on adhoc basis, which was removed in post GST regime, resulting in reduced turnover of Rs 4611.13 crore from period 01.07.2017 to 31.03.2018.

The company has achieved Operating Profit as a percentage of Revenue from Operations at 6.71% during the year 2017-18 as against the target of 4.45% (Excellent). The over-achievement of this parameter during the year 2016-17 was due to exclusion of finance cost during the calculation of Operating Profit. However, the achievement of target remains unaffected.

The company has achieved PAT as a percentage of Average Net Worth at 19.09% during the year 2017-18 as against the target of 15.02% (Excellent). The over-achievement of this parameter during the year 2016-17 was due to reduced Average Net Worth of Rs. 1599.10 crore on account of provisions of impairment of financial assets and warranty charges amounting to Rs. 163.88 crore at first time adoption of Ind AS which would have been otherwise Rs. 1751.23 crore. However, the achievement of target remains unaffected.

Chairman-cum- Mart aging Director

Place: New Delhi Dated:


Mar 31, 2004

The Board of Directors take pleasure in presenting the 44th Annual Report and Accounts for the period ending 31st March, 2004.

YEAR IN RETROSPECT

Performance-wise, the year 2003-2004 had been an impressive year for your Corporation. Turnover increased by 33.70% from Rs.4940.95 million to RS.6606.19 million and profit before tax increased by 43.66% from RS.74.30 million to RS.106.74 million in comparison to the performance achieved in the previous year. The positive working results continuously over the previous three years, has given encouragement for fixing higher growth targets in future. Your Directors take pleasure in informing you that your Corporation has a workload in hand of RS.12053.61 million. During the year under report, new business of Rs 6910.00 million was secured and major share of business comprises of (i) works awarded by the Ministry of Urban Development under non-Iapsable fund valued at RS.1766.1 0 million in the North Eastern States, (ii) Indo-Bangladesh Fencing works awarded by the Ministry of Home Affairs worth RS.1250.00 million in Northern Sector from Ranga to Shivbani 84 KM in Tripura, and (iii) Site leveling work package amounting to RS.1180.00 million of Barh Super Thermal Power Project, Bihar from NTPC.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

In traditional areas, the construction industry has a very low return on investment involving severe competition. On the other hand, high value infrastructure projects with competition from companies of NBCC's size have good potential' for earning higher profit margins. In large value infrastructure projects, entering into tie-up arrangements with established global players is generally a pre-requisite. Considering this fact, your Corporation is continuing to explore all opportunities for new consortiums and business arrangements. NBCC has formed a joint venture 0 with a Malaysian firm viz. IJM for executing work for DMRC. Efforts are 'also continuing to look for overseas business opportunities specially in Asia- Pacific & African Regions as development of physical infrastructure in this part is in its infancy. Discussions are going on to have joint venture with MIs BAGIS Construction Import Export Trade Company for execution of large scale civil construction projects in Turkey.

In the current fiscal, your Corporation bagged the single largest Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract from BHEL of RS.1622.00 million of Civil, Structural and Architectural work of Transformer Yard to Chimney for 2x250MW Unit at Korba, Chattishgarh . Moreover, in this case re-inforcement steel and structure steel is being issued free of cost by BH~L. With this, NBCC will become an EPC Contractor for Power Plants and would be in a position to bid for such projects in future on its own. In the financial year 2004-05, additional works of Rs. 5488.11 million have also been secured. Few of the important projects secured are as follows:
