Provisions are recognised when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that the Company will berequired to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimatecan be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimateof the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at the end of the reporting period, takinginto account the risks and uncertainties surroundingthe obligation. When a provision is measured using thecash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, itscarrying amount is the present value of those cash flows(when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts arerecognised and measured as provisions. An onerouscontract is considered to exist where the Company has acontract under which the unavoidable costs of meetingthe obligations under the contract exceed the economicbenefits expected to be received under it.
A contingent liability is disclosed where there is apossible obligation or present obligations that may,but probably will not, require an outflow of resources.Contingent assets are not recognised. Information oncontingent liabilities is disclosed in the notes to standalonefinancial statements unless the possibility of an outflowof resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognisedwhen a Company becomes a party to the contractualprovisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initiallymeasured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directlyattributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assetsand financial liabilities (other than financial assets andfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss)are adjusted in the carrying amount of such financialassets and financial liabilities. Transaction costs directlyattributable to the acquisition of financial assets orfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss arerecognised immediately in Standalone Statement ofProfit and Loss.
Classification and subsequent measurement offinancial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in thefollowing measurement categories:
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value(either through other comprehensive income, orthrough profit or loss), and
• those measured at amortised cost.
The classification is done depending upon the Company'sbusiness model for managing the financial assets andthe contractual terms of the cash flows. Classificationfor investments made in debt instruments will dependon the business model in which the investment is held.The Company reclassifies debt investments whenand only when its business model for managing thoseassets changes.
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments dependson the Company's business model for managing theasset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset.There are three measurement categories into which theCompany classifies its debt instruments:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cashflows where those cash flows represent solely paymentsof principal and interest are measured at amortised coste.g. Debentures, Bonds etc. A gain or loss on a debtinvestment that is subsequently measured at amortisedcost is recognised in profit or loss when the asset isderecognised or impaired. Interest income from thesefinancial assets is included in interest income using theeffective interest rate method.
Debt instruments that meet the following conditionsare subsequently measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income (except for debt instrumentsthat are designated as at fair value through profit or losson initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whoseobjective is achieved both by collecting contractualcash flows and selling financial assets; and
• t he contractual terms of the instrument give riseon specified dates to cash flows that are solelypayments of principal and interest on the principalamount outstanding.
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised costor fair value through OCI, are measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss e.g. investments in mutual funds.A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequentlymeasured at fair value through profit or loss is recognisedin profit or loss and presented net in the statement ofprofit and loss within other gains/(losses) in the period inwhich it arises.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTPL
Investments in equity instruments are classified as atFVTPL, unless the Company irrevocably elects on initialrecognition to present subsequent changes in fair valuein other comprehensive income for equity instrumentswhich are not held for trading.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company can make anirrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrumentbasis) to present the subsequent changes in fair valuein other comprehensive income. This election is notpermitted if the equity investment is held for trading.These elected investments are initially measured at fairvalue plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they aremeasured at fair value with gains and losses arising fromchanges in fair value recognised in other comprehensiveincome and accumulated in the reserve for 'equityinstruments through other comprehensive income'.The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit orloss on disposal of the investments.
The Company applies the expected credit loss modelfor recognising impairment loss on financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost, lease receivables, trade
receivables, contract assets, other contractual rights toreceive cash or other financial asset.
For trade receivables, the Company measuresthe loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetimeexpected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expectedcredit loss allowance for trade receivables and contractasset, the Company has used a practical expedient aspermitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit lossallowance is computed based on a provision matrix whichtakes into account historical credit loss experience andadjusted for forward-looking information. The Companyassesses on a forward-looking basis the expected creditlosses associated with its assets carried at amortisedcost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairmentmethodology applied depends on whether there hasbeen a significant increase in credit risk. Note 50.8 detailshow the Company determines whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk.
I ncome is recognised on an effective interest basis fordebt instruments other than those financial assetsclassified as FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss.
A financial asset is derecognised only when Companyhas transferred the rights to receive cash flows fromthe financial asset. Where the entity has transferred anasset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferredsubstantially all risks and rewards of ownership ofthe financial asset. In such cases, the financial assetis derecognised.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, thedifference between the asset's carrying amount and thesum of the consideration received and receivable andthe cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised inother comprehensive income and accumulated in equityis recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss wouldhave otherwise been recognised in profit or loss ondisposal of that financial asset.
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Companyare classified as either financial liabilities or as equityin accordance with the substance of the contractualarrangements and the definitions of a financial liabilityand an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences aresidual interest in the assets of an entity after deductingall of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by aCompany are recognised at the proceeds received, net ofdirect issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company's own equity instrumentsis recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gainor loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase,sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's ownequity instruments.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities (including borrowings and tradeand other payables) are subsequently measured atamortised cost using the effective interest method.The effective interest method is a method of calculatingthe amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocatinginterest expense over the relevant period. The effectiveinterest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimatedfuture cash payments (including all fees and points paidor received that form an integral part of the effectiveinterest rate, transaction costs and other premiumsor discounts) through the expected life of the financialliability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the netcarrying amount on initial recognition.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, andonly when, the Company's obligations are discharged,cancelled, or have expired. An exchange with a lenderof debt instruments with substantially different termsis accounted for as an extinguishment of the originalfinancial liability and the recognition of a new financialliability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the termsof an existing financial liability (whether or not attributableto the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted foras an extinguishment of the original financial liability andthe recognition of a new financial liability. The differencebetween the carrying amount of the financial liabilityderecognised and the consideration paid and payable isrecognised in profit or loss.
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreigncurrency and are measured at amortised cost at the endof each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains andlosses are determined based on the amortised cost ofthe instruments and are recognised in 'Other income' as'Net foreign exchange gains/(losses)'.
The Company enters into derivative financial instrumentsviz. foreign exchange forward contracts, interestrate swaps and cross currency swaps to manage itsexposure to interest rate, foreign exchange rate risks andcommodity prices. The Company does not hold derivativefinancial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at thedate the derivative contracts are entered into and aresubsequently remeasured to their fair value at the endof each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss isrecognised in profit or loss immediately.
The Company as lessee:
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset anda corresponding liability at the date at which theleased asset is available for use by the company.Contracts may contain both lease and non-leasecomponents. The Company has elected not to separatelease and non-lease components and instead accountsfor these as a single lease component.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initiallymeasured on a present value basis. Lease liabilitiesinclude the net present value of the lease payments.The lease payments include fixed payments(including in substance fixed payments) less anylease incentives receivable, variable lease paymentsthat are initially measured using the index or a rate atthe commencement date, and amounts expected tobe paid under residual value guarantees. The leasepayments also include the exercise price of apurchase option reasonably certain to be exercisedby the Company and payments of penalties forterminating the lease, if the lease term reflectsthe Company exercising the option to terminate.Variable lease payments that do not depend on anindex or a rate are recognised as expenses in theperiod in which the event or condition that triggersthe payment occurs. Lease payments to be madeunder reasonably certain extension options arealso included in the measurement of the liability.The lease payments are discounted using thelessee's incremental borrowing rate (since theinterest rate implicit in the lease cannot be easilydetermined). Incremental borrowing rate is therate of interest that the Company would have topay to borrow over a similar term, and a similar
security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset ofa similar value to the right of-use asset in a similareconomic environment.
Lease payments are allocated between principaland finance cost. The finance cost is charged toprofit or loss over the lease period so as to producea constant periodic rate of interest on the remainingbalance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use assets are measured at costcomprising the amount of the initial measurementof lease liability, lease payments made before thecommencement date, any initial direct costs andrestorations costs.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the leaseterm on a straight-line basis. Right-of-use assetsare measured at cost, less any accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses, and adjustedfor any re-measurement of lease liabilities.
Extension and termination options are includedin many of the leases. In determining the leaseterm the management considers all facts andcircumstances that create an economic incentiveto exercise an extension option, or not exercise atermination option.
Deferred tax on the deductible temporary differenceand taxable temporary differences in respect ofcarrying value of right of use assets and leaseliability and their respective tax bases are recognisedon a net basis.
Payments associated with short-term leases ofequipment and all leases of low-value assets arerecognised on a straight-line basis as an expensein profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with alease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assetscomprise assets having value less than ' 350,000.
(i) Securities premium includes the differencebetween the face value of the equity shares and theconsideration received in respect of shares issued.
(ii) The issue expenses of securities which qualifyas equity instruments are written off againstsecurities premium.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing theprofit / (loss) for the year by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Ordinary shares to be issued upon conversion of amandatorily convertible instrument are included in thecalculation of basic earnings per share from the datethe contract is entered into. Diluted earnings per shareis computed by dividing the profit / (loss) for the yearas adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges toexpense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relatingto the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weightedaverage number of equity shares considered for derivingbasic earnings per share and the weighted averagenumber of equity shares which could have been issuedon the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive onlyif their conversion to equity shares would decrease thenet profit per share from continuing ordinary operations.Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to beconverted as at the beginning of the period, unless theyhave been issued at a later date.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistentwith the internal reporting provided to the chief operatingdecision maker.
The board of directors of Afcons Infrastructure Limitedassesses the financial performance and position of theCompany and makes strategic decisions. The board ofdirectors, which has been identified as being the chiefoperating decision maker, consists of the key managerialpersonnel and the directors who are in charge ofthe corporate planning. Refer note 34 for segmentinformation presented.
The Company assess on a forward-looking basisthe expected credit losses associated with its assetsmeasured at amortised cost which includes leasereceivables, trade receivables, other contractual rightsto receive cash etc. The impairment methodologyapplied depends on whether there has been a significantincrease in the credit risk since initial recognition ofthese financial assets. For the evaluation, the Companyconsiders historical credit loss experience and adjustedfor forward-looking information. Note 50.8 details howthe Company determines whether there has been asignificant increase in credit risk.
Government grants are not recognised until there isreasonable assurance that the Company will complywith the conditions attaching to them and that the grantswill be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on asystematic basis over the periods in which the Companyrecognises as expenses the related costs for which thegrants are intended to compensate.
Share-based payment transactions of the Company.
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees aremeasured at the fair value of the equity instruments atthe grant date. Details regarding the determination of thefair value of equity-settled share-based transactions areset out in note 53.
The fair value determined at the grant date of theequity-settled share-based payments is expensed ona straight-line basis over the vesting period, basedon the Company's estimate of the number of equityinstruments that will eventually vest. At each reportingdate, the Company revises its estimate of the number ofequity instruments expected to vest. The impact of therevision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised inprofit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflectsthe revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment toequity-settled employee benefits reserves.
C. Critical estimates and judgements
a) Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policy, which is setout in Note 1.B.3, is central to how the Company valuesthe work it has carried out in each financial year.
These policies require forecasts to be made of theoutcomes of long-term construction services, whichrequire assessments and judgements to be made onchanges in scope of work and claims and variations.
Across construction services there are several long-termand complex projects where the Company hasincorporated significant judgements over contractualentitlements. The range of potential outcomes couldresult in a materially positive or negative change tounderlying profitability and cash flow.
Estimates are also required with respect to the belowmentioned aspects of the contract.
• Determination of stage of completion;
• Estimation of project completion date;
• Provisions for foreseeable losses; and
• Estimated total revenues and estimated total coststo completion, including claims and variations.
These are reviewed at each balance sheet date andadjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Revenue and costs in respect of construction contractsare recognized by reference to the stage of completionof the contract activity at the end of the reportingperiod, measured based on the proportion of contractcosts incurred for work performed to date relative tothe estimated total contract costs, except where thiswould not be representative of the stage of completion.Variations in contract work, claims and incentivepayments are included to the extent that the amountcan be measured reliably and its receipt is consideredprobable. When it is probable that total contract costswill exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss isrecognized as an expense immediately.
The Company is subject to tax in a number of jurisdictionsand judgement is required in determining the worldwideprovision for income taxes.
The uncertain tax positions are measured at the amountexpected to be paid to taxation authorities when theCompany determines that the probable outflow ofeconomic resources will occur. Where the final taxoutcome of these matters is different from the amountsthat were initially recorded, such differences will impactthe current and deferred income tax assets and liabilitiesin the period in which such determination is made.
I n the normal course of business, contingent liabilitiesmay arise from litigation and other claims againstthe Company. There are certain obligations whichmanagements have concluded based on all availablefacts and circumstances are not probable of paymentor difficult to quantify reliably and such obligations aretreated as contingent liabilities and disclosed in thenotes but are not provided for in the standalone financialstatements. Although there can be no assurance ofthe final outcome of the legal proceedings in whichthe Company is involved it is not expected that suchcontingencies will have material effect on its financialposition or profitability.
As described in note 1.B.8 above, the Companyreviews the estimated useful lives of property, plantand equipment and residual values at the end of eachreporting period. There was no change in the useful lifeand residual values of property, plant and equipment ascompared to previous year.
The Company has recognised trade receivables with acarrying value of ' 3,917.40 Crores (as at March 31,2025:' 3,364.64 Crores). The recoverability of trade receivablesis regularly reviewed in the light of the available economicinformation specific to each receivable and specificprovisions are recognised for balances considered tobe irrecoverable.
The impairment provisions for trade receivables arebased on assumptions about risk of default andexpected loss rates. The Company uses judgementin making these assumptions and selecting the inputsto the impairment calculation, based on Company'spast history, credit risk, existing market conditions aswell as forward looking estimates at the end of eachreporting year. The expected credit loss allowance fortrade receivables is made based on a provision matrix.The provision matrix takes into account historicalcredit loss experience and adjusted for forward-lookinginformation. Where the actual cash shortfalls vary fromthose estimated, these could impact the level of profit orloss recognised by the Company. The same policies arefollowed for contract assets.
Details of the Company's defined benefit pensionschemes are set out in Note 1.B.6, including tablesshowing the sensitivity of the pension scheme obligationsand assets to different actuarial assumptions.
The present value of defined benefit obligations isdetermined by discounting the estimated future cashoutflows by reference to market yields at the end ofreporting period that have terms approximating to theterms of the related obligation.
g) Variable Consideration
The forecast profit on contracts includes key judgementsover the expected recovery of costs arising from thefollowing: variations to the contract requested by thecustomer, compensation events, and claims made bythe Company for delays or other additional costs forwhich the customer is liable. These claims could result indisputes that get settled through an arbitration processwherein the outcome of these awards including the timing
and the amount (including interest thereon) requires areasonable degree of estimation. The inclusion of theseamounts requires estimation of their recoverabilityand could impact the level of profit or loss recognizedby the Company.
The balance sheet presents current and non-currentassets and current and non-current liabilities, asseparate classifications. This classification involvesmanagements estimate on expected realization ofassets and settlement of liabilities within 12 monthsafter the reporting year.
A Joint Operation is a joint arrangement whereby theparties that have joint control of the arrangementhave rights to the assets and obligations for theliabilities, relating to the arrangements. Joint controlis the contractually agreed sharing of control of anarrangement, which exist only when decisions aboutthe relevant activities require unanimous consent of theparties sharing control.
When an entity undertakes its activities under jointoperations, the Company as a joint operator recognisesin relation to its interest in a joint operation:
a) Its assets, including its share of any
assets held jointly;
b) Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilitiesincurred jointly;
c) Its revenue from the sale of the output arising fromthe joint operation;
d) Its share of the revenue from the sale of the outputby the joint operation and
e) Its expenses, including its share of any expensesincurred jointly.
Accordingly, the Company has evaluated all itsjoint arrangements on the basis of the contractualarrangements entered into between the parties tothe joint arrangements for execution of the projectirrespective of the legal form.
D. Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
Ministry of Company Affairs notifies new standardsor amendments to the existing standards. There is nosuch notification which would have been effective from1st April, 2026.
Nature and purpose of each reserve within other equity
The capital reserve is on account of acquisition of subsidiary companiesCapital redemption reserve
As per the provisions of Companies Act, capital redemption reserve is created out of the general reserve for the amountequivalent to the paid up capital of shares bought back by the company.
Where Company issued shares at a premium, a sum equal to the aggregate amount of the premium received on those sharesshall be transferred to a "securities premium account” as per the provisions of applicable Companies Act. This reserve is utilizedas per the provisions of the Companies Act.
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the value of equity settled share-based payments provided to employees,including key management personnel, as part of their remuneration. Refer to Note 53 for further details of these plans.
The contingency reserve was created to protect against loss for amounts due from a partnership firm.
The general reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings for appropriation purposes. There is nopolicy of regular transfer. As the general reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not anitem of other comprehensive income, items included in the general reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.
Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and net assets of the foreign operations from their functionalcurrencies to the presentation currency (i.e. ') are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated inthe foreign currency translation reserve. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net investmentis disposed-off.
This represent the surplus / (deficit) of the profit or loss. The amount that can be distributed by the Company to its equityshareholders is determined considering the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013. Thus, the amount reported above are notdistributable in entirety.
This reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses arising on the revaluation of equity instruments measured at fairvalue through other comprehensive income. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when therelevant equity securities are derecognized.
Note No. 20.3:
(i) Security:
Secured by first charge by way of equitable mortgage on the immovable properties of the Company situated at Andheri,Mumbai and Delhi on a pari passu basis. The Company's stock of construction material, stores, WIR Trade Receivablesis further secured under indenture of mortgage (excluding current assets of High Speed Rail project) and first charge onmovable plant & machinery of the Company upto ' 900 Crores with other term lenders and project specific limit on a paripassu basis. Cash credit facility / working capital demand loan is further secured by the Company's proportionate share ofcurrent assets in all the joint ventures, both present and future.
(ii) Interest:
Cash credit facility and working capital demand loan from banks carry interest ranging from 7.55% to 9.95% per annum (Asat 31st March, 2025 interest ranging from 9.09% to 10.35% per annum). Buyers Credit carry interest ranging from @ 2.60%to 4.31% per annum (As at 31st March, 2025 interest ranging from @ 3.07% to 5.39% per annum)
a. Defined contribution plan
(i) Provident fund
(ii) Superannuation fund
(iii) State defined contribution plans
The provident fund and the state defined contribution plan are operated by the regional provident fund commissioner andthe superannuation fund is administered by the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). Under the schemes, the Company isrequired to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the benefits.
The total expense recognised in statement of profit or loss of ' 76.14 Crore (for the year ended 31st March, 2025'70.40Crore) represents contributions payable to these plans by the Company at rates specified in the rules of the plans.
b. Defined benefit plan
Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees whoare in continuous service for a period of 4 years and 240 days are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuitypayable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionatelyfor 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service without any ceiling limit as given under Payment ofGratuity Act, 1972.
Whereas on death of an employee the amount of gratuity payable is amount equivalent to one month salary, payablefor each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months in terms of Gratuity scheme of the Companyor as per payment of the Gratuity Act, whichever is higher.
The gratuity plan of the Company is funded and the Company accounts for gratuity benefits payable in future basedon an independent external actuarial valuation carried out at the end of the year using Projected Unit Credit Method.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined byreference to market yields at the end of the reporting year on government bonds.
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality ofplan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participantswill increase the plan's liability.
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants.As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.
The risk relating to benefits to be paid to the dependents of plan members (widow and orphan benefits) is re-insuredby an external insurance company.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
In respect of the plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation werecarried out as at 31st March, 2026 by an actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the relatedcurrent service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
(vi) Sensitivity analysis method
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligationas it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptionsmay be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has beencalculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting year, which is the same as that applied incalculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.
There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The average duration of the benefit obligation at 31st March, 2026 is 8 years (as at 31st March, 2025: 7 years).
The Company expects to make a contribution of ' 12.00 Crore (as at 31st March, 2025: ' 18.69 Crore) to the defined benefitplans during the next financial year.
(vii) Maturity profile of defined benefit obligation:
Projected benefits payable in future years from the date of reporting
(v) Sensitivity Analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salaryincrease and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of therespective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting year, while holding all other assumptions constant.
1) If the discount rate is 100 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by ' 9.67 Crore(increase by '11.07 Crore) (as at 31st March, 2025: decrease by ' 6.00 Crore (increase by ' 6.80 Crore)).
2) If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 1%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by
' 11.02 Crore (decrease by ' 9.80 Crore) (as at 31st March, 2025: decrease by ' 6.65 Crore (increase by ' 5.98 Crore)).
3) If the employee turnover increases (decreases) by one year, the defined benefit obligation would decrease by
' 0.10 Crore (increase by ' 0.08 Crore) (as at 31st March, 2025: decrease by ' 0.78 Crore (increase by ' 0.85 Crore)).
d. Compensated Absences
The liability for Compensated absences (non-funded) as at year end is ' 87.44 Crore (as at 31st March, 2025'61.58 Crore)covers the Company's liability for sick and privilege leave and is presented as current liabilities, since the Company doesnot have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of any of these obligations.
The Company makes provision for compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation carried out at the end of theyear using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
NOTE NO. 33. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
Disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure in line with the requirement with Guidance Note on "Accountingfor Expenditure on Corporate Social Responsibility Activities”.
As per Section 135 of the Companies Act 2013, a CSR Committee has been formed by the Company, The areas for CSRactivities are eradication of hunger and malnutrition, promoting education, art, culture, healthcare, destitute care and ruraldevelopment projects.
NOTE NO. 36. AFCONS GUNANUSA JOINT VENTURE (AGJV)
AGJV had submitted claims to ONGC, arising on account of cost overruns due to change orders, in terms of the provisions ofthe contract. The Joint venture had invoked arbitration in respect of the aforesaid change orders.
The Arbitration award was published on 10th March 2026, whereby most of the Claims of AGJV were rejected and the counterclaims of ONGC were entirely rejected The Arbitral Tribunal (AT) has adjudicated and allowed only three claims, which collectivelyamount to ' 17,100,000/- and USD 182,617. In addition to these, the AT has permitted the Claimant's request for the release ofBank Guarantee (BG) submitted in lieu of Liquidated Damages (LD).
The award is not acceptable to the JV and accordingly the JV is in the process of filing appeal against the same. However, as amatter of abundance caution, AGJV has made a provision for doubtful debtors for '124.12 Crores.
NOTE NO. 37. TRANSTONNELSTROY AFCONS JOINT VENTURE (TAJV)
The Transtonnelstroy Afcons Joint Venture ("the JV”) had submitted variations to the client for two projects (package UAA-01and package UAA-05) arising on account of cost overruns, due to unforeseen geological conditions, delays in handing overof land and change in scope of work etc., in terms of the provisions of the contract with the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (""theclient'"'), which the Management believes is attributable to the client.
During Financial Year 2021-22, Arbitration Panel issued a unanimous award in favour of Joint Venture granting extensionof time in terms of number of days (the "claim no. 1 and 2”). The Arbitral Awards on Extension of Time matters (Claim No.1 and 2) of Contract UAA-01 and UAA-05 were challenged by CMRL before the Ld. Single Judge of Madras High Court andsucceeded. The order of the Ld. Single Judge was then challenged by TTA JV before the Hon'ble Division Bench and the samewas dismissed vide order dated 01st February 2023. The said order of the Hon'ble Division Bench has been challenged before theHon'ble Supreme Court by TTA JV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court was pleased to admit the SLP filed by TTA JV and the same isregistered as Civil Appeal. An early hearing application is filed by TTAJV to list the matters early. However, the Hon'ble SupremeCourt did not allow the said application.
Based on the assessment made, both the orders were not challenged by CMRL on the Merits of the Arbitral Award but on thealleged procedural lapses on part of the Tribunal (i.e., no opportunity provided to CMRL on account of two particular documentssought by the Tribunal from TTA JV). Further, the Ld. Single Judge in its Order has also granted liberty to the Parties to go backto the existing Tribunal to get opportunity on the two documents. Also, the Hon'ble Division bench after hearing prima facie casehas sought consent of parties on remanding the matter to the same Tribunal. However, since CMRL did not agree for consentingto the same and also the Hon'ble bench does not have special power to direct the parties to go before the same Tribunal, theHon'ble bench proceeded to hear the matter and pronounced the order.
Arbitration proceedings related to claims for cost of extension of time granted in claim no. 1 and 2 and related cost i.e. Claim No.3 and 3A along with EOT claimed beyond Arbitration Award and associated cost, forming part of Claim No 8 have been kepton hold and shall be initiated based on outcome, Civil Appeal of the SLP filed with Hon'ble Supreme Court. Disputes related torelease of withheld amount, release of retained amount, refund of amount encashed against Bank Guarantees amounting to' 25.77 Crore (as at March 31, 2025: ' 25.77 Crore) and issuance of final taking over certificate (the "claim no. 8”) were beingheard before arbitration tribunal. Further, there are counter claims submitted by CMRL amounting ' 1,945.81 Crore, which wasrejected by Arbitration Tribunal on a unanimous order passed on 02nd Aug 2024 and 16th Aug 2024.

NOTE NO. 50. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS50.1 Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return tostakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings as detailed in notes 14 and 20) offset by cash and bankbalances and total equity of the Company.
The Company reviews the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the Company considers the cost of capitaland the risks associated with each class of capital.
The risk management is governed by the Company's policy approved by the board of directors, which provide writtenprinciples on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments.Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed on a continuous basis. The Company does not enter into or tradefinancial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
50.4 Market risk
The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
50.5 Foreign currency risk management
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactionsin various countries. Foreign currency risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilitiesdenominated in a currency that is not the Company's functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast ofhighly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The carrying amounts of the Company's unhedged foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities atthe end of the reporting year are as follows:
The Company is mainly exposed to the currency of USD, EURO, BDT, GHS, XAF, MUR, MZN, TZS and MVR.
The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Indian Rupee against the relevantforeign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel andrepresents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributableto the exposure outstanding on receivable and payables in the Company at the end of the reporting year. The sensitivity analysisincludes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5%change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in the profit or equity where the Indian Rupeestrengthens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the Rupee against the relevant currency, there would be acomparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative. The impact of 5 % is also applicable onoutstanding foreign currency loans as on the reporting date.
In management's opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposureat the end of the reporting year does not reflect the exposure during the year.
There are no derivative financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting year.
50.6 Interest rate risk management
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the company borrow foreign currency and local currency fundsat floating interest rates. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite,ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.
The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives andnon-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting year. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assumingthe amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole period. A 50 basispoint increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and representsmanagement's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company's profit forthe twelve month ended 31st March, 2026 would decrease/increase by ' 5.52 Crore (31st March, 2025: decrease/increase by' 4.21 Crore). This is mainly attributable to the company's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
50.7 Other price risks
The Company is exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments. Certain of the Company's equity investments areheld for strategic rather than trading purposes.
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting year.If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower:
Other comprehensive income for the year ended 31st March, 2026 would increase / decrease by ' 0.01 Crore (31st March, 2025:decrease/increase by ' 0.01 Crore) as a result of the changes in fair value of equity investments measured at FVTOCI.
50.8 Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leadingto a financial loss. Credit risk arises from investment in debt instruments, loans, trade receivables, other receivables, cash andbank balance and derivate financial instruments.
The Company is exposed to credit risk on its financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits, tradereceivables and loan receivables. The exposure to credit risks arises from the potential failure of counterparties to meet theirobligations. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits are held with only high rated banks/financial institutions, credit risk on them istherefore insignificant.
The Company assesses and manages credit risk on an internal credit evaluation system. It is performed by the finance team inconjunction with the relevant business teams depending on the nature and type of the financial asset being evaluated.
The customer base of the Company highly comprises of government parties. Further, Company is having certain short termloan receivables from the Group entities. Collateral is generally not obtained from customers. Other customers are subject tocredit verification procedures including an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience andindustry reputation.
(A) To measure the expected credit losses on (a) trade receivables from government parties, and (b) trade receivables and loanreceivables from group companies, they have been considered to enjoy the low credit risk as they meet the following criteria:
i) they have a low risk of default,
ii) the counterparty is considered, in the short term, to have a strong capacity to meet its obligations in the near term, and
iii) the Company expect, in the longer term, that adverse changes in economic and business conditions might, but willnot necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its obligations.
(B) Cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits are held with only high rated banks/financial institutions, credit risk on them istherefore insignificant.
(C) For other trade receivables (including contract assets), the Company applies 'Expected Credit Loss' model for recognisingimpairment loss on trade receivables as well as contract asset
The Company's customer profile includes public sector enterprises, state owned companies and large private corporates.Accordingly, the Company's customer credit risk is low. The Company's average project execution cycle is around 24 to 48months. Monthly progress payments have a credit period ranging from 45 to 60 days and Retention money to be releasedat the end of the project. In some cases, retentions are released / substituted with bond / guarantees. The Company hasa detailed review mechanism of overdue customer receivables at various levels within the organisation to ensure properattention and focus for realisation.
(i) The Company is making provisions on trade receivables and contract assets based on Expected Credit Loss (ECL)model. The movement of ECL is disclosed in Note 5.1.(A) and 8.1.
50.9 Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the management, which has established an appropriate liquidityrisk management framework for the management of the Company's short-term, medium-term, and long-term funding andliquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilitiesand reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturityprofiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following table details the company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreedrepayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on theearliest date on which the company can be required to pay. The tables include principal cash flows along with interest. To theextent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of thereporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the company may be required to pay.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in relation to guarantees given. The Company's maximum exposure in this respect isthe maximum amount the Company could have to pay if the guarantee is called on. Based on expectations at the end of thereporting period, the Company considers that it is more likely that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement.However, this estimate is subject to change depending on the probability of the counterparty claiming under the guaranteewhich is a function of the likelihood that the beneficiary under the guarantee may default.
50.10 Fair value measurements
This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.
Some of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting year.The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined(in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).
Note 1: These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium or long-term strategicpurpose. Upon the application of Ind AS 109, the group has chosen to designate these investments in equity instrumentsas at FVTOCI as the directors believe that this provides a more meaningful presentation for medium or long-term strategicinvestments, than reflecting changes in fair value immediately in profit or loss.
The carrying amounts of the following financial assets and financial liabilities (other than Long Term Borrowings) are areasonable approximation of their fair values. Accordingly, the fair values of such financial assets and financial liabilities havenot been disclosed separately.
