Provisions are recognized when there is a present
obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and
there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are measured at the best
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the Balance sheet date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre¬
tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks
specific to the liability. When discounting is used,
the increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognized as a finance cost.
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.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent
assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the
obligations under the contract exceed the economic
benefits expected to be received under such
contract, the present obligation under the contract
is recognised and measured as a provision.
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual
expenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
a) estimated amount of contracts remaining to be
executed on capital account and not provided
for;
b) uncalled liability on shares and other
investments partly paid;
c) funding related commitment to subsidiary,
associate and joint venture companies; and
d) other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to
the extent they are considered material and
relevant in the opinion of management.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives
rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(a) Financial assets
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
At initial recognition, financial asset is
measured at its fair value plus, in the case of
a financial asset not at fair value through profit
or loss, transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition of the financial
asset. Transaction costs of financial assets
carried at fair value through profit or loss are
expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement,
financial assets are classified in following
categories:
a) at amortized cost; or
b) at fair value through other comprehensive
income; or
c) at fair value through profit or loss.
The classification depends on the entity''s
business model for managing the financial
assets and the contractual terms of the cash
flows.
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for
collection of contractual cash flows where
those cash flows represent solely payments
of principal and interest are measured at
amortized cost. Interest income from these
financial assets is included in finance income
using the effective interest rate method (EIR).
Fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for
collection of contractual cash flows and for
selling the financial assets, where the assets''
cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest, are measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are
taken through OCI, except for the recognition
of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue
and foreign exchange gains and losses which
are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.
When the financial asset is derecognized, the
cumulative gain or loss previously recognized
in OCI is reclassified from equity to Statement
of Profit and Loss and recognized in other
gains/ (losses). Interest income from these
financial assets is included in other income
using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that
do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or
FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit
or loss. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in other income.
The company has currently excercised
the irrevocable option to present in Other
comprehensive Income, subsequent changes
in the Fair value of Equity Instruments. Such
an election has been made on instrument-by¬
instrument basis. The classification is made on
initial recognition and is irrevocable.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial
Instruments, the Company applies expected
credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss on financial
assets that are measured at amortized cost
and FVOCI.
For recognition of impairment loss on financial
assets and risk exposure, the Company
determines that whether there has been a
significant increase in the credit risk since initial
recognition. If credit risk has not increased
significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide
for impairment loss. However, if credit risk
has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is
used. If in subsequent years, credit quality of
the instrument improves such that there is no
longer a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, then the entity reverts to
recognizing impairment loss allowance based
on 12 month ECL.
Life time ECLs are the expected credit losses
resulting from all possible default events over
the expected life of a financial instrument.
The 12 month ECL is a portion of the lifetime
ECL which results from default events that are
possible within 12 months after the year end.
ECL is the difference between all contractual
cash flows that are due to the Company in
accordance with the contract and all the cash
flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all
shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When
estimating the cash flows, an entity is required
to consider all contractual terms of the financial
instrument (including prepayment, extension
etc.) over the expected life of the financial
instrument. However, in rare cases when the
expected life of the financial instrument cannot
be estimated reliably, then the entity is required
to use the remaining contractual term of the
financial instrument.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal)
recognized during the year is recognized as
income/expense in the statement of profit and
loss. In balance sheet, ECL for financial assets
measured at amortized cost is presented as
an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the
measurement of those assets in the balance
sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying
amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria,
the Company does not reduce impairment
allowance from the gross carrying amount.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when
a) the rights to receive cash flows from the
financial asset is transferred or
b) retains the contractual rights to receive
the cash flows of the financial asset, but
assumes a contractual obligation to pay
the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the financial asset is transferred then in
that case financial asset is derecognized only if
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership
of the financial asset is transferred. Where
the entity has not transferred substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset, the financial asset is not derecognized."
(b) Financial liabilities
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at
initial recognition, as financial liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss and at
amortized cost, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized
initially at fair value and, in the case of
borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities
depends on their classification, as
described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss include financial liabilities
held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition
as at fair value through profit or loss.
Separated embedded derivatives are
also classified as held for trading unless
they are designated as effective hedging
instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities
held for trading are recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing
loans and borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the EIR
method. Gains and losses are recognized
in Statement of Profit and Loss when the
liabilities are derecognized as well as
through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking
into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that
are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR
amortization is included as finance costs
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized
when the obligation under the liability
is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is
replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as
the derecognition of the original liability
and the recognition of a new liability.
The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss as finance costs.
(c) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and
the net amount is reported in the balance sheet
where there is a legally enforceable right to
offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realize the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The
legally enforceable right must not be contingent
on future events and must be enforceable in
the normal course of business and in the event
of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the
Company or the counterparty.
The preparation of financial statements requires
management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the
accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure
of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these
assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes
that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount
of assets or liabilities affected in future years.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other
key sources of estimation uncertainty at the year end
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year, are described
below. The Company based its assumptions and
estimates on parameters available when the financial
statements were prepared. Existing circumstances
and assumptions about future developments, however,
may change due to market changes or circumstances
arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such
changes are reflected in the assumptions when they
occur.
(a) Taxes
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be
recognized is based on an assessment of the
probability that future taxable income will be
available against which the deductible temporary
differences and tax loss carryforwards can be
utilized. In addition, significant management
judgment is required to determine the amount of
deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based
upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable
profits together with future tax planning strategies.
(b) Construction Contracts
Recognizing construction contract revenue requires
significant judgement in determining actual work
performed and the estimated costs to complete
the work, provision for rectification costs, variation
claims etc"
(c) In assessing the recoverability of the trade
receivables and contracts assets, management''s
judgement involves consideration of ageing status,
evaluation of litigations and the likelihood of
collection based on the terms of the contract

Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance sheet date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
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.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date. Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.
Commitments are future liabilities for contractual expenditure, classified and disclosed as follows:
a) estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for;
b) uncalled liability on shares and other investments partly paid;
c) funding related commitment to subsidiary, associate and joint venture companies; and
d) other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion of management.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
At initial recognition, financial asset is measured at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
a) at amortized cost; or
b) at fair value through other comprehensive income; or
c) at fair value through profit or loss.
The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method (EIR).
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets'' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to Statement of Profit and Loss and recognized in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
The company has currently excercised the irrevocable option to present in Other comprehensive Income , subsequent changes in the Fair value of Equity Instruments. Such an election has been made on instrument-byinstrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and FVOCI.
For recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent years, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.
Life time ECLs are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12 month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the year end.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider all contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension etc.) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the year is recognized as income/expense in the statement of profit and loss. In balance sheet, ECL for financial assets measured at amortized cost is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
(iv) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized only when
a) the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset is transferred or
b) retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the financial asset is transferred then in that case financial asset is derecognized only if substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
(b) Financial liabilities
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and at amortized cost, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs.
(c) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure
of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future years.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the year end date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
(a) Taxes
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. In addition, significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
(b) Construction Contracts
Recognizing construction contract revenue requires significant judgement in determining actual work performed and the estimated costs to complete the work, provision for rectification costs, variation claims etc

The Company''s risk management is coordinated by the Board of Directors and focuses on securing long term and short term cash flows. The Company does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.
(A) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk.

b) Foreign Currency exposure
Movement in the functional currencies of the various operations of the Company against major foreign currencies may impact the Company''s revenues from its operations. Any weakening of the functional currency may impact the Company''s import payments and cost of borrowings.

The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financial instruments. The following table details the Company''s sensitivity movement in the increase / decrease in foreign currencies exposures (net):

reversed the decision of the trial court and Company has gone on appeal to Supreme Court in Iraq. Based on legal advice company is confident that
if the Basra Court decides against restoration of the contract, the court
would award a compensation or damages to us as per existing Iraqi law The Government of India has also been extremely supportive for revival of the project.
The customer has opened a Letter of credit ('LC') for a value of USD
235 million (INR 139,590 Lakhs) which is an irrevocable LC backed by
100% margin deposited by the customer. Cancellation of this LC is
